AZUREBEAUTY 3 Colors Glitter Dip Powder Kit, Odorless Clear Liquid Set with Base, Activator, Top Coat & Brush Saver for Nude, Purple, Pink, DIY Salon Gifts for Women

I loved this product! Easy for beginners like me. Invest in a metal nail file or glass nail file. This stuff is strong after you activate it! But I love the results!!! I have a metal nail file and it worked wonderfully.

I have been doing my own nails for several years now, and I love Azure's products. This set actually surprised me with how many gorgeous colors it comes with, as well as all of the accessories such as the dip tray, brushes, files, and the activation polishes. My manicures last for 5 weeks with no lifting or chipping, making this the best bang for your buck on the market.My only negative is that the powder jars are quite small, so you have to use the dip tray they provide in order to preserve the powder as my thumb wouldn't fit without powder spilling everywhere.

Color shown in manicure here is 386. Swatches on the Amazon listing are pretty close to what they look like in person.To start: This is not the first brand of dip powder I have used.I needed new liquids and wanted to add some new colors to my kit, so I purchased the Fall/Winter color collection. I received the correct colors. The added tools are very nice; you’re mostly ready to go upon opening the box. The only thing missing is a clear base powder. There are no instructions, you will have to look that up elsewhere online.Like other users have complained, there are no forms of color swatches included, just numbered jars. Powders are not at all indicative off finished colors, so I was frustrated that I had to use up so much product and time to make my own before even starting.The liquids are a good consistency and don’t lead to thick or clumpy application. With the exception of the black glitter, the colors are highly pigmented and applied easily. I was never able to get the black glitter opaque; I gave up after maybe six coats. It’d be fine topping another color, but sure isn’t what’s advertised.The jars provided are very small. There is a tray provided to pour over rather than dipping into, as the size makes dipping difficult, especially after they have been used. One jar contains enough powder for maybe 3-6 manicures, depending on length and thickness.I’m very frustrated that you can fall in love with a specific color, but there is no way to reorder a single color from this kit without reordering the entire kit. I’d much rather follow this order up with ordering 2oz+ jars or my favorite colors rather than another batch of a dozen colors I’ll never use just to get one more half ounce of the color I want.The dip powder, once applied, held up well. I had no chips. I have thin, peeling nails and was concerned if I’d even be able to wear dip powder before starting it, worrying my nail might just flake apart from underneath. Once I removed the dip after a couple weeks, I had a noticeable positive difference in the health of my nails. They were thicker, stronger, and for the first time in ages were not peeling. The dip definitely protected them.Compared to acrylics, this is much easier for a diy manicure. I’d recommend this for a beginner wanting to do their own nails at home. Its easier to use and you can remove them at any time without damaging your nails.The other complaint I have with this brand is that, compared to others I have used, it is INCREDIBLY difficult to remove. I filed off most of the powder with my e-file, used 100% acetone, and it still took a couple hours to remove.

Easy to apply and my nails look great!

I was impressed by everything that came in the box. Although the containers of powder are quite small, this kit comes with everything you need to get started. I think the price is great for a kit like this I just wish that I got the right colors. I uploaded a picture of what I ordered and what I received. I've exchanged seven emails with the seller and they are saying that these light pink and purple colors are supposed to give me the dark reds, dark purples, and blacks that are shown in the dark fall/winter colors that I ordered. After getting powder dip nails for years I can assure you that is not going to happen. They're asking that I try every single powder on my nails and send them photos so they can be sure that I received the wrong colors. Lol

I have nails that naturally bend, split, and break. I don't have the time for nail salons to get acrylic, and I dislike them besides. When I heard about dip nails, I thought I'd give it a go to see if it would help protect my nails.I ordered the Azure Beauty kit with 20 dark autumn colors (photo included of what I bought versus what I actually got) but what arrived was a box of frosty pinks, purples, and silvers. I looked all over the box to see what color set I had actually reveived and it's no wonder I didn't get the right colors! The package has no label indicating the color of its contents. I have NEVER bought any other cosmetics (eye color, lip color, foundation color, or nail color) that failed to reflect this information *on the box*.So do NOT trust them to get you the right colors. There's no way the order fulfillment people could even tell.All irritation about the colors aside, this was my first try with dip nails. If the manufacturer skimped on packaging details, they kept that trend going with a lack of meaningful instructions. Thank God for YouTube. Once I learned from YouTube how to use all these awful colors, it turns out that I was delighted at how awesome my nails actually looked afterwards! It was very easy to do, it dried super fast (so no need for lights or being helpless for 45 min while my nailpolish dried) and it did not stink. Sweet.I suck at regular nail polish, admittedly. But this stuff made me look like I knew what I was doing, even if my nails were shimmering an obnoxious glittery pink when what I wanted was dark color.The colors do deepen significantly when you add the activator and again when you gloss. So what you see in the jar is much lighter than what you'll see on your hands. I highly recommend watching a tutorial so you can avoid clumping around your cuticles.Also, the brush they included for dusting excess powder off your fingers after you dip disintegrated the first time I cleaned it. It had gotten globs of combined base+dip on the bristles and would not come off with just soap and water. This stuff HARDENS. As soon as I dipped the bristles in a tiny bit of acetone (the only thing that will remove this stuff aside from 180 nail files and Dremel type nail tools) then rinsed and dried them, they ALL came out at once. I have LOTS of makeup brushes that I clean regularly that have never fallen apart from being washed, even vigorously. I think the acetone was just too much for the adhesive, but since acetone is the only chemical that will break the stuff down, then finding a better way to make the brush or providing INSTRUCTIONS would sure help (if there was a better or recommended way, Azure Beauty sure as hell isn't telling anyone - what do I know? I'm new at this!)My nails have not chipped. Not after bathing, cleaning house, moving furniture, playing with my dogs, or even testing to see if I could chip them. So, they DO strengthen the nail quite a bit and the color stays put.Overall, this set made me decide that I really like dip nails. Just not Azure Beauty's.

This is the cutest package I've ever received! Then the product works so great! I had fun opening it and using it! I already want to purchase more and it's the first time buying this brand! Love it!
