Beetles Pearl Gel Nail Polish, 6 Colors Shimmer Cat Eye Holographic Glitter Nail Polish Set with Magnet Rainbow Mermaid Swirl Shell Thread Purple Pink Blue Green Velvet Gel Manicure Gifts for Women

This is my second time using Beetles and here's what I personally recommend... don't buff your nails. Push cuticles back and clean them well with nail polish remover before applying the base coat, but don't buff them. Yes, this means they will come off sooner, but when they do they pop off in one piece! I'm a stay at home mom of five young boys and wash my hands a fair bit throughout the day. I do use gloves for washing dishes. For the first set I did, I didn't buff my nails and they lasted beautifully for about 8-10 days. Then, all on the same day one nail chipped and then one by one I could easily pop the rest off. My nails were perfectly clean and undamaged underneath and I didn't have to deal with a fiasco of acetone!Then the second time I did my nails I made the mistake of lightly sanding/buffing my nails with a filer, thinking it might help them last longer. They did not last longer--well at least not in nice condition--and came off in pieces. The parts that stayed on were a pain to get off. Plus after I was done using acetone and scraping it off my nails didn't look very happy, they were dry and well...scraped :(I personally don't like dealing with acetone (the mess, the risk of spilling on our wood floors, the chemicals, and the time) so I will never again buff my nails! I will leave them smooth so I can enjoy those 11 or so days of perfect nails before they easily pop off whole, rather than chipping in parts and looking awful for a few days until I take the time to do the full acetone process. Just my two cents!Now my opinion on these particular colors: The Pink Angel collection is fun, bright, and girly. I really love the color of the second-to-last mulberry pink in two layers - it's a perfect hot pink (first pic, right hand). 3 layers gives you more of the true mulberry color which is also very nice but deeper (second pic, left hand). I added one layer of glitter before the top coat.One of the glitter colors in the Pink Angel collection has a base pink color in addition to glitter, the other is a base of clear with darker pink glitter. It gives a few fun options for layering!

Love the pretty colors for my home gel kit. Bought these for Christmas and was super excited to use the fun glitter colors for NYE, the Red for Valentines Day, and the green and gold for St Patrick’s Day. I was pleasantly surprised that this lasted through several holidays and gave me cute colored nails to show off to my friends! The gels is the right thickness and applies evenly and smoothly, it’s not too sticky. The bottle size is great.

sooo cute i’m obsessed

Love the smoothness of the paint but the colors don’t quite match the picture. They are still pretty colors! Seems to last longer than other paints.

Love this brand. Small bottles but last forever, always be careful to not overfill your cuticle because it can cause irritation but that goes for almost all gel polishes. They are pigmented and usually only take 1-2 layers needed. Rarely ever chip and great for nail designs.

I absolutely adore these colors. The bottles are a nice starter size. The colors look as pictured and don’t need too many coats. I think Beetle makes a wonderful product with good quality and works well with several different lamps.

I unexpectedly liked the gold glitter and silver glitter.Red is a classic red and green was ok. I can mix colors to make these look better.I was looking forward to the red glitter and green glitter but it was terrible. The colors were more like sheer red with glitter and shear green with glitter. I even tried combining it by going over the regular red and green colors but it was not looking good at all.Also the paint brush is too wide/thick for all the vials. For the glitters, it was making it clumpy, and it didn't do the sheer glitters any justice.I wouldn't buy again, tho I would buy the gold and silver glitters by themselves.

I love this gel nail polish! The colors are super concentrated that 2 coats does the trick. It typically stays on and looks great for 2-3 weeks.
