KIARA SKY Professional - Dip Manicure Nail Liquid - Long Lasting Nail Gel - Beauty Essentials Nail Design for Nail Art - Dip Liquids for Nails Repair Treatment 0.5 fl oz, Essentials Kit Steps 1-4

Amazing, love using this brand! I know it’s a little more cost wise but defiantly worth it!!!

0 Stars for not having a protective sticker seal on the bottle to avoid spillage.But 5 Stars for the production!I was excited to have found this set for a reasonable price. When I opened the package, everything was wet and looked damaged entirely. I opened the plastic, and one by one, I cleaned them off. Each bottle was slightly open and damaged. Most of the bottles began to peel. And a robust chemical odor lingered around while I was cleaning each bottle; after airing out the bathroom, the odor disappeared. My base coat is the only one starting to clump towards the top of the brush.

This is the only product that works consistently! I love being able to do my nails at home!!

Perfect for at home dip. Easy process

I’ve waited to write a review till after I’ve used the products several times. 1, I’m doing this at home on my own hands and learning through various tutorials. It’s not been easy, but I also haven’t been turned off by what I have been able to accomplish. 2, An e-file (Airsee Portable) has been essential to helping prep my natural nails for the product, and to smooth out my applications. Based on tutorials I watch by Kiara Sky and certified nail technicians, I shouldn’t have to do as much e-filing to smooth my applications; maybe this will be something that comes as I continue learning. 3, I hear it’s better to have thin applications of each liquid layer (esp base), but I haven’t been able to accomplish that yet without creating an uneven surface or the base drying just enough to prevent sufficient powder adhesion. 4, Of course this product isn’t odor free as they state! Sometimes the base or top coat can burn my eyes, and no I don’t have it all up in my face. :) I don’t expect liquids like this to be odor free. 5, My nails are naturally thin - I’ve actually broken one on a towel in the dryer when I reached in to get it. This is the case no matter if I’m taking Biotin, Prenantal vitamins, etc, etc. It’s just genetics. I appreciate this product because I want to make sure my hands look professional when interacting with my clients. I’m not constantly dealing with breaks or looking like I chew on my nails. 6, This is my first top coat product, and I agree with other reviews - it’s not supreme. Doesn’t dry smoothly. 7, I just broke a top-coat bottle while trying to get it open. So far it looks like I just have to throw it away, which is not awesome - there’s more liquid to be used in the bottle. Also, keeping the base and top coat bottles from sealing shut has been a trial. I do all that’s been recommended to prevent or at least reduce it, but to little avail. Overall, and maybe despite how this all might sound, I’m glad I got this kit - much of my experience is likely due to being in the process of learning.

Horrible!! Do not buy. I have bought cheaper off brand top coats throughout the years while trying get the hang of dip. I’ve finally gotten pretty decent and decided to start splurging on better products but after the second use it became horrible! First use was great. I cleaned everything off too and the second time using it was definitely stickier. The third time the brush was just a gunky mess. I tried to save the brush MANY times but since it DOESNT come with replacement brushes, I ended up having to throw it out because the brush savers and cleaners didn’t work.I got the brush cleaner to fix the problem once but it quickly hardened. DO NOT BUY

Ok life changing may be an exaggeration but really, this dip system is the greatest!! My nails grow super fast but are weak and thin, and my job as a bartender is incredibly hard on them so growing my nails past my fingertips was pretty much impossible. Once I got any kind of length I'd inevitably break one and have to cut them all down to match. I've tried nail strengtheners, gel, etc and nothing has worked as well or has been as convenient as this dip. For details, read on!So at the recommendation of a friend, I got this base, the clear powder (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MTYI9IM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1) and the seal (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LBID4W0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and my nails have never looked better! I do a layer of this base, dip into the powder, wait a few minutes for it to dry, brush off any extra with a clean makeup brush, do another layer of the base and the dip, wait for it to dry, brush off the extra then apply the seal. I wipe with alcohol, file any irregularities down, apply another layer of seal, then apply whatever nail polish I want over it.On me it lasts about a week before I've destroyed at least a nail or two and I'm ready to remove but I'd imagine on someone with a job that doesn't beat the crap out of their hands it would last much longer. On occasion I will fill in a spot that I have managed to break which is super easy. Just remove the polish with non acetone remover, apply the base to the bald spot and do the same process above, then file down the area until it's even and repaint. The nail will look brand new.I have these for removal (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018QN8V9O/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I cut cotton balls in half, soak them in acetone and apply them to my nails for about 20 minutes. I'll use a hair dryer to speed up the process if I am in a hurry as the heat activates the acetone. Then I slide the clips off my hands and the dip comes right off.I have used gel in the past but no matter what I did, the gel would be a struggle to remove and I'd always find myself having to aggressively file off pieces that refused to come off, even after soaking for 30+ minutes and the gel always managed to damage a nail or two which would result in breakage. It was also a lot easier to end up with uneven or thick nails with the gel, but with this dip any irregularities you end up with can just be filed away.My first application of this dip system was in mid January (the purple polish) and so far there has been no damage as a result of the dip. I have managed to break part of the tip of one nail which had to be cut down and the side of my thumb despite having dip on, but that was the fault of my job, not the the fault of the dip (and with the help of some acrylic tips and IBD resin from Sally's, you'd never know the difference!).So the purple nail pic (ILNP Zoe for anyone interested) was my original application of the dip and is the length I'm usually stuck with. You can see the progression of growth, the bright pink (ILNP Pucker Up) being the most recent at 6 weeks after the original dip application. I've yet to attempt to fill in growth which is probably very easy to do but removal is so easy I'd rather just start clean every time and dark colors do stain the dip so when going from a dark to light color it's better just to remove the dip completely and start new.If you've made it this far, thanks for reading my novel! Just cannot say enough good things about this dip. Buy it!!

I loved this brand and the product. This is the second bottle base I’ve bought. The brush detaches from the white handle. I had to buy the second one because I couldn’t use the other one since it never closed right + dried up. Very disappointing. Seems like the white plastic and brush is cheaply manufactured. Great polish but doesn’t last long with this issue.
