Beetles Gel Nail Polishes- Misty Forest Gel Nail

I’ve been using beetle polishes for almost 3 years and they’re my favourite! I’ve never had issues with them, and when there’s an issue like peeling etc (which is rare) it’s usually because of an error I’ve made during application or I’ve not cured them properly, never had an issue otherwise.In the 3 years I’ve used beetles gel polishes I’ve never had a problem with chipping and they’ve always lasted until I changed the colour, which is usually between 7-14 days for me, but I’ve had a set on for 20 days before changing and even then they never chipped. Besides being long lasting, they stay so shiny and new looking!Bottles are relatively big in the 6 pcs set, in the bigger sets they’re smaller but still have plenty of product in them! They all apply like a dream and are so easy to work with, especially for nail art. If you find them bubbling or rippling either you’re not curing for long enough or you’re applying the layers too thick.If you’re worried about the smell of the polish, it’s pretty unnoticeable. They don’t have a strong scent, at least not one I notice. Maybe if you’re more sensitive to smells you may notice a small scent, but unless I smell the polish directly from the bottle, I don’t ever notice the smell.

I purchased 2 multi pack combos - 6 red shades and 5 pink shades + 1 white. Good variety of colours and something to suit everyone. Inexpensive too!Excellent pigment, 2 thin coats does the trick.Cures well and lasts ages chip free.I’ve always been impressed with Beetles products and am not disappointed here.I didn’t read the blurb carefully though and these are smaller bottles 🤦‍♀️ but actually more than enough for use at home.Highly recommended ✅

The polish is thick & the colours are rich. I admit I had to re-apply a few times to avoid some minor clumping, but it smoothed out fine with extra care & all in all I was happy with the outcome.However in terms of longevity this didn’t hold up to some other brands as the polish did lift a little at the tip & start to chip after about 1 week.I still gave it 4* though as all in all I think it’s great value for money, and I’d definitely buy from this company again for novel styles I don’t care to keep on for weeks anyway!

Gorgeous colour and exactly as the picture shows applies nicely!

AMAZING!! The nude looks sooo natural (I'm white and slightly pale) and all of them give a 'jelly' look but layering doesn't make it look thick. Most of the colours are brighter than the picture but the colours are still gorgeous and I've never had one chip (I usually wear them for 3 weeks). It's sooo good I highly recommend! :)

I have been using CND Shellac for a few years, and at home for the past 18 months, so I'm fairly experienced at doing my own nails now. Here's a secret though, Shellac is the most overrated, overhyped rubbish ever and I was absolutely sick of spending 2+ hours every week, meticulously doing my nails to the letter of the instructions, only for it to peel off entirely within 24hrs. I tried everything, it's not user error, it's just overrated and not suited to thin/flakey nails like mine. So I set off experimenting with other brands and came across this nice little green set (I love green!). I have loads of Shellac base and top coat to use up so decided to use these under and over this Beetles green set. I liked the application, the brush is decent (not as good as shellac) and it only needed 2 coats. The colours are hit and miss, the dark ones aren't very nice, but that's probably personal preference and because they're in a set with some really nice lighter pastel'y shades so they look a bit brash in comparison. My biggest negative is that a) there's random bubbles on a few nails... Not tiny air bubbles that you sometimes end up baking in as you didn't notice them on application, but more like deep bubbles that have appeared after application when drying (see picture) and also b) the overall finish doesn't seem as 'hard' as usual - I had to rinse something in super hot water for 30.sec and that seemed to make the free edge of my nails polish feel a bit squishy, in fact one free edge has started to flake away. When this happens when I've used other products its usually when I've had it on for over a week, and the peely bits feel hard, but this stuff feels soft and I only applied it last night so wasn't expecting a bit of hot water to affect it already.We'll see how long it lasts, but after 12 hours looking less than perfect already, I'm not hopeful. Maybe it would be better to use a better top and base coat (Mylee is hard as steel and infinitely better than Shellac)

Perfect, like always. Beautiful colors, like on the pics, easy to use. I have a lot of polishes from them and I'm very satisfied.

This is the prettiest Polish I've purchased. It lasted a full 10 days and would have lasted longer if I didn't remove it.It's pearly shimmer is eye catchingley beautiful.It applies easy to both natural nails and false ones.The Polish itself is nice and thick so you can do with one coat but for longer lasting finish I'd recommend two.The Price was great, the bottle was a decent size too. I'd definitely recommend.
