AzureBeauty 31 Pcs Dip Powder Nail Kit Starter Spring Summer 20 Colors

Another amazing set. Ill give it 4 only because I wish the color pigment was strong. The color quality starts to fade while buffing showing white undertones. Outside of that it's sturdy and once applied properly a set can last for a proper 3 weeks! So even though there is a bit of fading when buffing it is still a great purchase.

The photo posted in my review is to show what color result is achieved with only a SINGLE dip - I was happily surprised to find them to be pastels yet highly pigmented making for such a great coverage off of the first dip. The end result is what was achieved after dipping each nail once more making it only a total of two dips per finger on every color -including the lightest colors like yellow I not only highly recommend this product but I definitely will be a returning customer as long as I have nails on my hands lol My nails are naturally short so to achieve the finished look I started by glueing on false tips to each nail. ***The tips I prefer to use are always clear (vs white tips as white tips I find can be harder to hide under dip powders as the line of where the tip meats your natural nail can be seen through the powder unless you dip each nail repeatedly until it does not -which I find not only to be a waste of time but also a waste of the powder especially when with clear tips only two dips is needed to achieve the same result*** ***Also clear tips in my opinion always seem to be a little thinner than standard white tips which makes them more flexible, bending just as your long natural nail would but yet thick enough to not break off**** After glueing on the tips and allowing time to dry - I then lightly buffed the surface to ensure that the false tips laid flesh with my natural nails to ensure each dip would result in a smooth surface allowing for no additional filing needed after dipping After buffing the tips and getting them flesh with my natural nails I take a cotton ball and wipe each nail off with nail polish remover - I believe this step is not only VERY important but also this step is what makes the difference in how long your finished nails will stay on. I personally have yet to experience any of my nails popping off on their own by accident and I have done multiple sets to not only myself but my sister as well. A typical set last just about two weeks before I decide to remove them and then redo them as by that time my natural nails have grown out. Without the step of dehydrating my natural nails with the polish remover and removing any dust /oil from the buffing I don’t believe I’d be able to achieve a manicure to last 2 weeks as before including this step in the past I never was able to make it past 3 days before one popped off so I can’t emphasize enough how important that step is. Next I apply a thin base coat (one finger at a time as stated on instructions) and then quickly dip the nail into the powder as if you don’t do it quick enough-the base coat can begin to dry leaving you with an unpleasant dip result. Instantly after lifting the nail from the dip I brush off any excess back into the dip tray and then I apply a coat of activator before I move to the next finger and repeat until all 10 are complete. I then repeat that step of applying the base coat, dipping, brushing off the excess and then applying activator a second and final time to each finger. Once completed with the dipping I Lightly buff the surface of each nail making sure each nail feels smooth as a natural nail. Sometimes extra filing is necessary depending on the shape and length you want to achieve - I do this after dipping since the clear tips I choose to use are thinner than standard tips, but you could also shape the tip before dipping them, really it’s your preference and the order you choose will not effect the end result- just make sure anytime you file BEFORE you dip -you ALWAYS want to wipe each nail with a cotton ball of polish remover - I cannot stress this enough At this point depending on the look I’m trying to achieve I would either decorate them or if I’m going for more of a simple look I’d finish by applying a top coat If you have the option to finish your nails with a gel top coat that requires a UV light to harden then I would suggest doing so as it only creates more strength to your nails -but I personally only use a regular polish top coat, one that’s thicker in consistency giving the affect of an authentic gel polish but dries on its own and no lamp is needed, so again it’s up to what you have available to you as well as your preference The video I posted is the end result after dipping every nail into a different color - no two are the same color. I then applied a thin layer of a clear sparkly polish, to a few nails I applied some rhinestone art and then finished with a high gloss top coat Hopefully this helps any one new to using dip, when i started experimenting with dip powders years ago, despite loving the end result I could never seem to get them to last as long as a manicure I got at a salon with acrylic, but over time, with a little experimenting and practice I’ve come to finally achieve the look as well as the length of time they stay on. I’ve experienced with all DIY at home manicure products on the market, including acrylic and poly gel, and out of the three- dip powder has not only been the fastest to learn how ti use as well as the fastest process when apply a whole set, but it’s also been the easiest, the less messy as well as the most affordable. (single bottle of dip powder can last you MONTHS almost a whole year if only dipping each finger twice and having them last 2 weeks before doing it again) I HIGHLY recommend for any one who’s new to the DIY at home manicure to try all the products available, personally I found it fun to experiment with them all but im sure you’ll soon learn how simple a dip manicure is compared to the other methods, as well as how much money you’ll save no longer having to spend your money on getting a set done. What it would cost me to receive a single set at the salon is more than what it cost me to buy this dip powder kit and even the tips combined.

The neon colors are amazing, only thing is there’s no clear base or pink base so I used my beetles brand x717 which has the most natural pink nail bed color and did the neon tip

Big learning curve! Less is more! Watch a lot of videos! Make sure you use 100% acetone for removal. I spent 18 months going to the nail salon every 3 weeks. I decided to try and save some money and do my own. After reading the reviews, decided to try this starter kit. It was cheaper than just 1 trip. I will admit my husband helped me a lot. Our first time, wasn’t great. And the polish cracked within a week. But that was user error. The pic is from our second attempt, much better! I use my hands a lot opening boxes, stocking vending machines and so far, so good! There’s no overwhelming smell, the products are easy to use. But again, watch a lot of different videos and don’t be afraid to make a mistake and learn from them! Will definitely be ordering more colors!

This is a good kit, especially for the price.

I recently tried out this powder dip nail kit, and overall, I’m super impressed with the quality and results. The powders are richly pigmented, the liquids are smooth and easy to work with, and the finish looks like a professional salon job. Once applied properly, the nails are strong, glossy, and last for weeks without chipping. That said, if you’re new to dip powder nails, be prepared for a bit of a learning curve. The first time I used it, I struggled a bit with the timing and layering, but after watching a couple of tutorials and practicing, the process got much easier. The instructions included are helpful, though a bit more detail or visual guidance would make a huge difference for beginners. Still, the high quality of the materials really shines through, and once you get the hang of it, you’ll love the results. I’d definitely recommend this kit to anyone looking to save money on salon visits and do their own nails at home—it just takes a little patience and practice at first.
