Awesome Dupe (Yes, you SHOULD try these)
This review is specifically targeted to all the people who may read this in the future who have begun falling down the rabbit hole of wanting to do your nails at home and going through the painstaking research, and mentally debating with yourself if you’re going to commit to that bit.I’ll make this review as succinct as possible.Should you try this kit? Yes.Am I a professional nail technician? No.Should you still do your research and make sure you find products that work best for you? Absolutely.I’m like you. I wanted alternative products because I didn’t want to spend $100 for a more prestige brand (like Apres, for example) gel extension kit when I wasn’t sure how this new venture was going to go. I knew I couldn’t afford visiting a nail technician on the regular (sorry, no tea no shade, you guys deserve your pay, I just can’t budget in that cost < 3 ) so I had to make sure I picked products that worked for my skill level (aka: none) and weren’t going to make me feel guilty if I didn’t stick with the habit.Short answer to what you’re wondering is, YES, these are a good buy. The kit is cheap, the little lamp is good and mine worked out of the box just fine. It is just for flash curing, so you’ll need a bigger higher wattage UV lamp to full cure any gel you use. I learned that after buying all my supplies but I had an additional UV lamp in my possession already. I’m hoping that mentioning this saves someone else.The gel, or “nail glue” as the bottle calls itself, works fantastic. I haven’t had any issues with curing, or with my extensions staying on.The kit also comes with a cute little container of pearls and crystals. A fun addition I enjoy.The tips. The important part. The kit comes with plenty of sizes, I have bigger hands personally for a woman, so I was worried that maybe I’d have a hard time getting my fingers the right size tips in this kit and I personally did not have an issue. The strength of the tips seems totally durable to me. I work in the automotive field, and the length I went with was the perfect length where I wasn’t putting myself at risk during work. I’ve had my full set on for a few days now and I’ve sweat, had to pull, push, grab, pull, carry, etc etc and these haven’t budged so far. Not a chip, not a break, and not a single one is lifting.My application wasn’t perfect either, but the nails stay! Don’t feel so pressured to get it perfect if this is new to you too.The nail prep is so vital. This stuff works fantastic so long as you do your homework and prep properly! Take the time to do your cuticles and buff your nails and use the proper amount of “nail glue” and you’ll be fine and on your way to making nails you adore.Please give these a shot! I was really worried about the quality of the product when I first initially purchased this as I’m a firm believer in you get what you pay for; however I do think this kit is an awesome starter. I’m so glad I went through with buying Beetles.I hope this helps someone. Also definitely check out the actual gel polish sets Beetles sell if you want to pair these tips with a good amount of different nail polishes to try out.Ver másVer menos
