MEFA Dipping Powder Starter Kit 4 Colors for Beginners Dipping Powder System Starter Kit Acrylic Dipping System for French Nail Manicure Nail Art Set Essential Kit

This kit is a great starter set! The colors are beautiful and the black turned out so dark and pretty. It goes on easy and I only needed two dips to get a smooth pigmented finish. It hardens very solid so it doesn't file as quickly as some others but that means they are strong! My only one kindof negative observation is that the bottles of liquid are not completely full and don't seem to hold much product. I may just get a set of base and topcoat from another brand when I start to run out.

So I’ve only had the time to use two of the colors, black and gray. Overall I think this is worth the value for a beginner. It’s rather easy to use if you watch a video on dip powder nails first. My only grip is with the top coat. When I used the black powder, the gel top coat didn’t give me a nice shiny finish. I ended up using a separate gel top coat and cured in UV lamp over the black dip powder. I don’t know how this will affect the longevity but so far so good. For the grey color, I did not have the problem with top coat. It could be something wrong with my batch or how I did it. Another grip I have is that the other colors look really similar, but that’s just from the box. I haven’t tested them all out yet

Decided to give this a try since I'm not planning on going back to my nail salon any time soon, due to the pandemic. Instructions are simple and easy to follow. I'm ashamed that I didn't know this was available before Covid. I could have saved so much $!Note: I highly recommend using a nail drill (purchased one from Amazon), a buffing block, and a larger nail file than the one that is provided in the kit. Also, I dipped only twice and lasts about 2 weeks.

The media could not be loaded.  I like this product. It will get you by until your next professional manicure/ dipping powder application. Let me start by saying, I am awful at applying nail polish and I absolutely hate making the effort to paint my nails with regular polish because it chips the very next day. I’m a healthcare professional so I wash my hands constantly and use a lot of hand sanitizer which can be harsh on the hands, cuticles and really minimizes the amount of time your polish lasts ( even dipping powder professionally applied). The first time I tried this was a fail, the gel top coat #3 did not dry well and left random spots in like a matte state which looked weird, three of them popped off my nail completely in 3 days the rest chipped. I tried it again a second time, this time I made sure I buffed my nail and used an alcohol wipe to clean any debris before applying anything, I also tried to buff as much after I was done with the color powder so that it was a smooth surface ( I used the nail file included in the kit, I recommend purchasing extra ones because you REALLY really need to buff it out so that it’s smooth and apply the gel after. I found that this helps the gel top coat dry better and stay shiny.. otherwise you’ll end up with random matte spots and dull color. For my first time using it I gotta say i liked the result, the video I posted of my nails is 4 weeks after I applied it, you can see it started to lift in a couple spots and it may look a little uneven because , well, I’m no expert, but overall they still feel very durable and I still get compliments on the color so I’m content.

This was really easy to use. I kind of messed up my first (right) hand, but already by the left hand I was getting the hang of it and it looks much better. I didn’t think about it when I started, but only paint the base where you want the color to be - don’t apply the base all the way down to the sides of your nail beds and you’ll have the salon look. Good luck! Highly recommend.

I am SO sad! 3/4 of them, the Powder went PUFF!!! everywhere when I opened 3 out of the 4 powder containers, and the first one(the black)spilled into quite the disaster to clean up!! It looked like a manufacturing error as what was supposed to be the seal was stuck to the inside lid of the container. I did pry it out, and it said “seal” all over it, so yes it was meant to be a seal, but wasn’t properly sealed. Packaged had not been damaged in any way. I was so bummed as I was so excited to use this product too!! But am returning and will just have to go with a different brand. I don’t have time for this unreliability. I bought this for my mother’s wedding and since I wanted to return it, I couldn’t use it and had nothing to use. I don’t have time for issues like this! I didn’t even get a chance to try the product, wish I had, so I cannot review the quality.

Received this product today and got right to it. Great quality! First time ever doing my nails with a dip powder. First tried it out on my 7 year old to see if I could master it.Hers turned out pretty good for her tiny nails. So on to mine and they turned out great.The color is nice and the products worked as described. Not disappointed at all with this. I’ll be adding more colors once I get the technique down !

I can't keep this powder on my nails for longer than 3 days!At first I thought that I applied it wrong the first time. It came off in 3 days.I tried again a week later and my first nail popped off after only one day.It's easy to use, but not worth all of the time it takes. Also, the part close to my cuticle has a small crevice and gets caught in my hair, causing my hair to break. I had to wear latex gloves in the shower when washing my hair. Lol** the picture of me in the green shorts was one day after applying the dip powder for the first time.The photo with my pinky nail leftover was 2 days after my second attempt.
