Beetles Gel Nail Kit Clear, Almond Medium, 500pcs 10 Sizes, with 9 in 1 Glue Mini Nail Lamp, Fall Nails, Full Cover Easy Nail Extension Set for Home DIY Salon Gift for Girls

New to doing gel nails at home so purchase this kit as a beginner. Very easy to use and the nails are very high quality. Each nail does have a number at the very tip so you know what size you are using. The fit is exceptional and well. I went with the shorter length. They were the perfect size. I use nail glue remover and these were fairly easy to remove. Would the length I chose? They were very functional yet very durable. And I really put them to the test! Once I primed them the paint adhered beautifully and they looked almost professional. But again I am a beginner so I am trying to hone in on my skills! Definitely would recommend. They are excellent quality! The nail lamp is not only adorable but it works amazingly well. For something small. It packs a great punch and cures the nail adhesive beautifully. Would definitely purchase again and would recommend to all my friends.

10/10 recommend i used to hate spending $60+ on acrylics but now i dont have to i did this whole set plus polish and all in 1hr and 30 mins. You need to make sure to cure it all the way or yes you will get contact dermatitis. I recommend using a bigger uv lamp to fully cure only thing i used the little lamp it came with for was to get the air bubbles out when i held it on. You only need to hold it on for 5 seconds under the little uv lamp they supply and then cure for 60 secs under the bigger uv lamp. They are very sturdy i can bang them off a table and they will not pop off. It was super easy to use. It doesn’t have a strong smell which is nice and it’s not super messy. Do not listen to all the negative reviews on it i was skeptical at first but it was for nothing if you follow the directions you’ll be fine.

The media could not be loaded. Great for beginners. This is my first time doing my own nails. I got tired of paying erroneous amounts of money just to get a simple full set. I did watch a few videos on Pinterest/IG/Youtube to get an idea of how to properly put the nails on. Even though I made one mistake (didn’t cure the glue after applying it on my natural nails) my nails haven’t budged. I’m rough on my nails so these nails are pretty durable and I have yet to have one lift or pop off. I do recommend prepping your nails by cleaning them and taking as much dead skin/cuticles off as possible so that the nails will adhere properly. I would also recommend to buy a dehydrator and primer (I bought some reasonably priced ones here on Amazon).The UV light that came with this set works well, I like that you don’t need to press a button since you have to hold the nail under the light. You get a good value for your money as it comes with most everything you need to do a full set of gel x. Quality and length of the tips are great and they look great on. I would highly recommend this set of you are a beginner or just want to start saving money by doing your own nails at home…you can do it!*The pictures and videos are after 3 weeks of having the nails on.*I did use gel polish also from Bettles that I purchased here on Amazon. All in all I probably spent less than $50 to purchase all the supplies to do my own nails. Ladies we all know that a full set alone can start at $60 or more, this is totally worth a try if you’re trying to save money and also be able to control how you want your nails to look! Try it out!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I’ve been using Beetles nail products for years and have always loved their quality, affordability, and beginner friendly approach. This particular kit is no exception in terms of how thoughtfully it’s put together. It includes a tiny, portable UV lamp, which is super convenient and perfect for on-the-go use or small spaces. What I liked:Adorable packaging and easy-to-follow setupThe UV lamp is compact. Great starter kit for beginners the tools and layout make it un intimidating.What didn’t work for me:Unfortunately, the nail tips were too large for my fingers to get a natural fitI ended up returning this specific kit because of the sizing issue, but I still highly recommend Beetles as a brand. If you have wider nail beds or need a beginner-friendly gel system, this could be a great match. Just be aware that it’s definitely more “big nail friendly.”

Back in the day, you couldn't get anything from Sally's Beauty Supply unless you had a cosmetologist license (or something like that; I just remember my mom's hairdresser going on vacation and slipping my mom a number so my mom could buy her own hair dye.) I thought about that as I tried to use this substance. It was a strange thickness and I couldn't figure out how to apply it, particularly on the first hand I did. I considered giving up and leaving this to the professionals. But I watched a few videos, I thought a little harder, and I got through my other hand. It's a week later and I have had ONE nail come off. This is UNPRESCEDENTED for me. I even have one nail that got pushed when I went to cure it and is glued starting about a quarter up on my nail bed. ROCK SOLID. I'm in love.
