Beetles Fall Nail Fest Gel Nail Polish Set - Nail Nook 119 PCS 100 Colors Gel Polish Kit Base Glossy Matte Glitter Top Coat Neon Glitter Pearl Cat Eye White Red Pink Nude Nails Gift for Women

I'll start by saying that I know almost nothing about doing nails. I struggle to even paint mine without making a mess or accidentally smudging them before they're dry etc. I love having them done but 1. The cost is outrageous and 2. I have terrible anxiety so sitting with a stranger for an hour, trying to make small talk is a nightmare for me. ANYWAY... I absolutely LOVE this kit. I bought other nail tips/gel glue/and nail stickers off of Amazon, but otherwise this kit had everything i needed.When I first put my nails under the light, I was concerned because i did feel a burning sensation, but it went away after about 10 seconds and only happened on the very first layer. The nail gel cured the false tips in 60 seconds and unlike just regular nail glue, these felt/feel SECURE. I painted two layers, curing in between each one. THIS was what made it amazing for me, because everything was dry, so painting my non dominant hand was much easier not having to worry about smudging what I had already done.Next I used the tweezers that came in the kit and applied nail stickers. I added 2 layers of top coat (curing between each) and, boom!.... my nails were done, not smudged, felt secure, and looked really pretty! The pictures are from 5 days AFTER I did them. They have held up very well and still don't feel like they are loose or ready to come off. I have tried to avoid a ton of water, aside from showers, but other than that, ive done nothing different. The colors are great and most are completely covered in two coats. The UV light functions very well and so does all of the tools that come along with the kit.Highly recommend. All I did was follow directions. If I can do my nails, anyone should be able to. Worth every penny

I have a bad habit of biting and picking at my nails. It's embarrassing and I wanted to stop. I got this kit and so far, no mail biting or picking! My nails are strong and much longer than before! I do better when I can't see how long they are. The gel cures under UV light so as soon as the top coat is done, I can go do things like scrubbing the dishes or gardening or cooking or giving the dog a bath and my nails stay pretty. I like the variety of colors. I chose to paint each nail tester with 3 coats, covering 1/3 each time so I could see what 1, 2 and 3 coats looks like and cured between coats. I took a sharpie and wrote the color code on the reverse. I ordered the HEMA free top coat and foundation coat set (white bottles) separately. They're for sensitive nails and I love them!Key points:- Use a thin, even coat for base, color and top coats!- Cure between coats- All coats are tacky except for top coat after curing. THIS IS NORMAL. DO NOT WIPE.- Use SPF on hands, fingers, toes (yes it works for pedis too) and wrists. I use a lotion style SPF 50 and wait 30 mins minimum before starting. The first time I didn't use SPF and my fingers, cuticles and tips of my fingers had a burning/stinging sensation when using the light. I watch a show on Netflix or Disney to pass the time.- I also bought a gel remover and liquid latex separately on Amazon (not beetles) because I hate the smell of acetone/nail polish remover. Gel remover works great but don't get any on your skin, it burns like acid. I'm not allergic to latex so this really helps my polish look clean.- This kit comes with a cuticle softener (great value and very helpful!) And a cuticle oil (I do better with lotion.) I had to wait 48 hours between my first cuticle removal and my first paint session.- The nails MUST be clean and dry. After applying SPF and waiting for it to soak in, take a rubbing alcohol wipe or a cotton ball dipped in rubbing alcohol and wipe each nail off. Then take one of the pink little squares and wipe off any dirt.- Shape your nails BEFORE you paint them.I have used the included nail art items however the only ones that stay on are the pearls for me.- Clean off any excess nail polish/top or bottom coats BEFORE you cure! I use the metal cuticle tool included to scrape away any excess.- The UV lamp can get warm.- If you use the nail art items, those metal tweezers (included) are your best friend!- Yes, the bottles are small but they will last you if you use thin even layers.- The odor is still present but very low considering the alternative.100% would recommend and would buy as a gift! It's a great starter kit for beginners!!

My sisters bought this kit for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it so much, that we bought it again for her best friend that loves to do nails also. They’re 11, so this is a great little starter kit for some added nail fun. They quality is great and we have never had a single issue with the lamp or polish. The colors are cute, and she paints her nails daily to match. It’s been 9 months and we haven’t ran out of any polish bottle yet.

Good value for the money, good color selection. Easy to used and holds up good.

This Beetles gel nail polish kit includes all 32 colors as advertised, along with the UV lamp, top and base coats, and essential tools. The colors are very close to the photos, with glitters matching perfectly, though lighter shades need extra coats for full coverage. The polish applies smoothly, self-levels nicely, and cures in about a minute under the compact but powerful lamp. With proper prep, it lasts 2–3 weeks without chipping, making it an excellent value for beginners or as a gift set.

Super pretty colors and the quality is great. Their in a bottle slightly tiny but has a lot of product inside. Last a long time too.

I’m really happy with this kit. The Beetles 45-color gel polish set is absolutely amazing, it’s complete, high-quality, and perfect for anyone starting out in the world of gel nails. The variety of colors is beautiful and gives you so many options to create different looks. Everything came in perfect condition and the kit actually arrived earlier than expected, which was a great surprise. I totally recommend it for beginners and even for those with more experience.

Good option to save time and money rather than getting a salon mani/pedi.Pros:•Easy to apply•Light dries polish wellCons:•Difficult to completely remove polish, even with buffing and soaking•Started chipping within first week of application
