![]() ![]() Make sure to buy a glossy top coat or use one you already have. The kit contains a nail primer base, layering and top gel activator blush cleaner milk and honey cuticle oil dipping trays and five pink, white and silver shades. Reviewers love how easy-to-use this kit is, and how their natural nails felt strengthened – not weak, like after acrylic or gel polish. – Anon, Amazon reviewerĬons: The colours can look different to the image and the activator smells pungent, according to some reviews I’ll purchase another colour set very soon. Can’t wait to try all the colours! I even did a “test” colour on my thumb and decided to do another so I soaked the test colour off with acetone and drilled it off with no problem. *I also used a separate gel top coat and cured under a UV light for 60 secs for extra shine and durability but that step can be omitted if you don’t have a lamp. Steps I took - I applied the base coat (step 1), dipped in powder (step 2 and repeated step 1 and 2 for two coats of dip), applied the activator (smells absolutely horrible but hey…), and applied the top coat once (let dry for 3-5 mins). *I did use a separate nail hardener base coat (let dry for 5 mins) before I got started with the set. I have natural nails (no tips) and followed the steps with no problems. I’m not a professional at all but this was easy and turned out great. What reviewers say: Soon as it arrived I got to work. Or if you want even more colour choice, opt for the 30 powder kit. Pick from dipping powders in a variety of shades, from pigmented neons to muted mattes and pretty shimmers. ![]() ![]() Pros: Eight fun glitter shades, budget-friendly priceĬons: Not suited for very short nails or those looking for extensionsĪn impressively packed-out kit with 20 colours, a base nail coat, a top coat, activator, brush saver plus substitute brushes, a cuticle pusher, a nail file and a nail brush, there's really everything you need for a dip powder manicure. Give each of the layers a little time before the next stage. If the first layer is thick at the cuticle don’t be afraid to buff it down before a further layer of top coat. Ensure the top coat isn’t too thick at the cuticle to prevent lifting. Thin coats each time and after the activator make sure to buff over the nails for smoothness before applying top coat. I have found that swimming twice a week means longevity isn't as long as I would like, however there is slightly more flexibility with a resin formula like this than with traditional acrylic nails so it’s not so painful if you bend a nail back! This is not the type of overlay for nail tips. It takes less than 20 minutes of my time and the outcome it pretty good. This is my first time try with dipping powder and I found it very easy to use. What reviewers say: This type of product didn’t exist when I qualified as a nail technician nor could you buy any of this sort of stuff anywhere but a trade shop. Reviewers enjoyed the ease of use regardless of how long the polish lasted. If you’re looking to try some of the trendier salon looks, but at a more affordable price that will let you experiment with no strings attached, this glittery kit is for you. E Anderson, Amazon reviewerĬons: Strong smell, some reviewers said prone to clumping I think this second time round they will last much longer. The first time I did them they lasted about a week, as I didn't prep my nails very well. Prep is really important, don't rush the prep part! But this will save me a fortune in getting mine professionally done. I find that it's best to paint a thick coat of the base (thin sometimes doesn't grab enough powder) and when dipping into the powder, to hold the nail in the powder for a few seconds to ensure enough time for powder to stick, rather than pulling the nail straight out. ![]() What reviewers say: I wanted something to go over the top of my natural nails to strengthen them a bit as I'm prone to brittleness and breakage. At just £9.99 and with almost 400 five-star reviews, this is a great option for beginners. Unlike many kits, this lets you choose your polish colour from a list of on-trend pigmented shades, but our favourite is this barely-there pale pink. This dip powder nail starter kit has everything you need, including a builder base, top coat, activator, one colour of powder, a file, a brush, and even a brush cleaner. ![]()
