KISS Salon Dip Powder Nail Kit Professional Dipping System with Brush-On Gel, Dip Powder, Activator, 2 Brushes, Dipping Trough, Cuticle Stick, Sponge, Nail File, & 40 Nail Tips

Great kit - love that it came with the dipping tray! Using dipping powder for long-lasting, STRONG nails, is a bit of an "art" as well as a "skill". I am someone who was accustomed to paying a professional nail salon technician $40 to do this for me once-a-month for many years. Then the COVID-19 shut-down forced me to learn how to do it for myself. I watched a few youtube videos, read lots of product reviews, and landed with the KISS Salon Dip Professional Dipping System. I also bought a "MelodySusie Portable Electric Nail Drill, Compact Efile Electrical Professional Nail File Kit", and use my 180/100 grit nail files, buffer file, and Acetone. I also purchased lint-free wipes, which are super helpful. I've used the included "natural" nail tips on a few fingers, which work GREAT! They are made just the right thickness, so they are easy to file down and smooth out so they look like my actual nails. The instructions included come in very tiny print, so I used my copier machine to enlarge them 250%, so they are easy to read. My online research informed me to make sure each nail bed is totally oil-free by wiping with acetone before using the gel-glue (first step before dipping). One time I skipped this and my dip-nails began to "lift" much sooner. The whole procedure to apply a full set of nails takes me roughly 4 hours to completion (mostly because I am a newbie at shaping/filing them). I am sure it will get faster as I become more experienced. The Hardest part for me - removing the product. After the powder has set, and its time to shape them, or when its time to remove the old and begin a new set, I am still learning to file the old stuff off without OVER-filing the edges of my nails (I end up with small bleeding and then scabs around the nailbed - ouch & yuck; side note; even my professional nail tech over-filed/cut one or two of my nail-edges more often than not). But, still - these heal in about 3-4 days. Best of all, my dip nails last for a month & sometimes even longer! Bottom line - worth every penny and all the effort! I am saving $35/month on average, considering I spent about $5/month (averaging my 1st year costs annually of the Melody-Suisse E-file and all supplies over the past year). Of course, that does not include the "cost" of my time (4 hours/month - vs. 1.5 hours at the salon). Still, that's $420/year in savings... every penny counts these days! Hope this was helpful!

Para mi no vale nada a mi se me han roto todas las uñas

I love the brand kiss, I have use them before, this is a great product it comes with everything you need. I found it to be a little thick but it was my first time doing dip powder so that could be why.

I love this as it makes your polish last longer

I purchased this because I cannot seem to do the liquid acrylic application myself. This seemed like it was easier, and I like to have my nails done, so instead of spending $60+ on my nails, I bought this and gave it a go. I will say I will NEVER go back to getting my nails done at a salon! If I do them myself using this kit, there is less of a chance of getting infections and I can do them like I want whenever I want. It is simple to use if you follow the directions. Filing down to the shape and style you want is the most difficult part of this I think unless you have a nail dremmel...which I highly recommend. I also found that if you use this kit right, your nails will last 3+ weeks compared to the average 2 weeks when professionally done. I finally took mine off after 3 weeks because my nails were growing out quickly and they started to look trashy. They would still be on today (5 weeks total) if I had left them alone. The removal process is lengthy though. They do have to be soaked off with pure acetone (20 mins per nail or hand however you choose to do it) and they still don't come off easily. Get you some cuticle oil, nail primer, and nail oil for treatment before and after using this. your nails will thank you. but i highly recommend this kit to anyone!
