Dip Powder Nail Kit Starter 8 Colors with Essential Liquid Container for French Nail Design Professional Salon Set AK09

I was skeptical with all the iffy reviews, but LOVE this kit! I've gotten powder dip done enough at nail salons and always obsessively watch the technician, so I think that helped a lot with knowing what to do, but it came with clear step by step instructions as well. It doesn't come with a brush to tap off the loose powder or a file (I just used a regular nail file and it worked fine, and I tapped the excess powder off with my other fingers, but might be worth it to have a brush to try and conserve as many leftovers as you can for next time!). The containers are small as other reviews have said, but I still would think each would last anywhere from doing your complete nails 3-5 times (and it comes with 8 colors!), which is still a bargain compared to how much it costs to get this done professionally. I've only had mine on for a day, but it really feels exactly like when I leave the nail salon and I have a good feeling it's going to stick for 2-3 weeks. Only real complaint I have is the colors are not as pictured. In my photo I have on the "Pink Nectar" which is supposedly the darkest purple in the French Manicure kit option, and it came out as a much more light pastel purple. I like the color anyway so it didn't bother me, but beware the color is probably not going to come out as advertised. My only other "complaint" is the top coat is EXTREMELY fumey. Like, I'm not talking your average nail polish fumes, I'm talking burned my nostrils/throat and made me dizzy for a moment when I made the mistake of getting too close while applying it. Good news is that part can go on really fast and dries super fast so as long as you do it quick and try not to breath it in too close, it was fine. Otherwise HIGH recommend for someone looking for a cheap starter dip kit (and for those of us who are going to be scared to go back to the nail salons any time soon!)

I am very happy with this product! Being in the service industry regular/gell polish always chips really easily. I started getting dip powder about a year ago and fell in love however, it’s pretty pricey. I spend $60 once to twice a month on going to the salon. So, buying this is a real money saver! There is a bit of a learning curve (extremely thin layers are key, and waiting until the 2nd coat to apply the base near the edges and cuticle is the trick) I had to re do the whole thing because I didn’t do this the first time. The process is also a bit time consuming and pretty messy but other than that this was fairly simple and I’m a happy customer!I will also add that I purchased a nail drill ($10 from target) and that was extremely helpful! Also, the top coat provided does not have a very glossy finish so I applied my own top coat in addition to the one in the set and that helped a lot!

Awesome kit! Took a bit of a learning curve, but it was easy to find a couple of YouTube tutorials. I was completely done and dry in less than 45 minutes! I didn't even buff my nails (forgot to pick one up), and they still turned out shiny and smooth. My right hand pinky wasn't as smooth because I didn't let it set all the way before applying the top coat, but I'm still super pleased. You will definitely have to use the dipping tray because the bottles of powder are too small for even my tiny fingers to dip into. Perfect for a busy teacher/toddler mom who wants nice looking nails on a budget! I will definitely use the heck out of this set!

Got this kit because it contained everything I needed to learn how to do dip nails. Thought it would give my nails a stronger coat to give them time to grow out. Longevity it does not have. I watched all of the YouTube videos with tricks to get it to last longer but the most I ever get out of it is about a week to a week and a half before they cracked or popped off, and it is a LOT of trouble and TIME commitment to do this every week. Worked better with plastic tips glued on first, then applying the dip as the tips take the hits and nails don't crack like they do without tips, but I still only got about 2 weeks that way. I only used clear and the pink color. Doubt I will ever use any of the other colors.

I bought this dip powder set and two other dip color sets. I have a dip set made by Lavender Violets that I really liked. I wanted more colors and to try another brand. I also bought a Ph nail bond too because none of the kits come with one.Here is my honest review, Aikker’s 4 step polishes are horrible! I tried the set as soon as I got it on my MIL’s nails. I followed all the steps correctly but when I put the clear polish on it wouldn’t dry. When it finally dried it turned cloudy and dull. So I tried it again on my own nails and it turned cloudy again! So I filed off the top coat of polish and I used the Activator and the polish from my Lavender Violets set and it dried in seconds and stayed shiny. I polished the top coat off of my MIL’s nails and did the same with her and they were beautiful. So after 24 hours one of my nails came completely off! I used my Lavender Violets polishes and redid my nail. The next day 4 more nails came off and I had to fix them too.I don’t recommend Aikker’s 4 set polishes but I do recommend the dip powders. I love the colors and the come with a nail file, tray and brush. I will buy more of the Lavender Violets polishes instead.

The media could not be loaded. I love how easy this is to use and beginner friendly. If I was better at filing my nails, I think they would have came out even better. I love that I don't have to use a uv light. I wore these for about a week now as pictured. There is a slight crack in one of my nails so I do feel like I have to be fairly gentle with them. You can also save lots of money. I would have gotten the party pack as the ones in this set look fairly similar.

Don’t judge the product off of my messiness with some of the nails, I’m still learning lol. But this set is amazing! Especially for the price! It’s fast, easy, and the results are excellent. I used it for the first time about a week and half ago and redid them today,but I probably could have gone a few more days. I also didn’t prep my nails very well so that could’ve played a part in it. Overall I love it! Will definitely be buying again
