Mia Secret Cover Acrylic Powder 3 Piece Set - Pink/Beige/Rose 1 oz

good colors and easy to use for beginners great price

First time reviewer.I've started to do my own nails since both the price and inability to get exactly what want in my area from full service salons is a headache, I'm also a mild germophobe. Researching for quite some time, I found a wide range of quality and price. Most stress avoiding cheap inudstrial chinese acrylic and polymer, since Mia Secret is American made I decide to give this a shot first however I also considered two British made products.First, you get a ton of product in each pot, times 3. Great buy in showing the range. They come sealed, the screw caps are secure ( something to think about- think about what happens to your loose mineral makeup. here, the mess is minimal)My skintone color reference since colors look different on everyone- I'm an NC20/25 Latina in the winter and NC40/42 with a natural tan, in a spray tan NW45Colors-* Cover Pink: more of a bubblegum with slight sparkle, good for very fair/pink undertone women to simulate natural nail bed or someone wanting to rock a barbie nail. This won't pass as natural nail in a french on me, however I do wear this as a stand-alone when channeling my inner valley girl.* Cover Rose: slightly more understated, this says bridal to me. Same slight sparkle. I can pass this as natural in a French during the winter. beautiful shade* Beige: True nude with barely discernably pink that keeps it lively and not corpselike, no sparkle. I could wear this in winter or summer but with a french during the summer this is my go to. Richer tone latinas,african americans, asian, this WILL work in french on you! Some may say it's weird to point it out but you ladies that have yellow or mocha tones know how hard it is to find makeup/cosmetics without pink undertones, but that's another conversation.Application-They all apply the same, smooth. I'm not a professional however. You have a decent bit of time to get things right but don't doddle. When I started I figured out that thin layers until I got my placement right worked, newbie tip, get a small flat filbert brush from Michael's for 2.99, then upgrade to the classic #8 oval brush, also at Michael's, (beats $15-45 here and nail sites, EXACT same thing as well. Also applies to your makeup brushes). I used the Mia no burn primer and monomer, both great products. Smell is minimal from the actual powder but monomer has sillage, open a window and the salon smell will dissipate in 30min. Check out Naio Nails and Suzy at Nail Career Education on youtube for application start to finish.Filing is a breeze, even with a nail board 180 and buff block. I'm still getting my dremel technique down so can't say on that end. Wear itself if awesome, not clunky at all, strong.I liked this enough that I have bought more Mia products but with fills and total redos I don't think I'll be buying more acrylic for this year since you get SO much. I started doing my sister's and friends at after brunch just because I feel that I don't have to spare my product.Mia Secret be WINNING!

"Very complete and with a wide variety of colors. The tones are beautiful, pigment well and last a long time. Ideal for use at home and have options for all seasons.

As beginner nail tech, I am so impressed with this acrylic! The consistency is easy to work with, and it gives me plenty of time to shape and smooth before it sets. It’s perfect for practicing and creating professional-looking nails. The quality is fantastic, and it doesn’t lift or bubble when applied correctly. I’ve included a picture of my recent set using this acrylic—I’m proud of how they turned out! Highly recommend this for anyone starting their nail journey or looking for reliable acrylic powder

I bought this set as a sort of trial kit since each jar is pretty small, that way I wouldn't be stuck with large jars of colors I didn't like and wouldn't use. It's definitely not as economical to do it this way if you like each color, but if you're on the fence and haven't used these colors or this brand before, I'd recommend it.To be clear, I'm not a licensed professional. I don't think Mia Secret is a professional brand and if I walked into a salon and saw them using these products, I would leave. If I can get my hands on it without a license, it's not a salon brand.That said, I used these with Mia Secret monomer and each nail cured within a a minute to a minute and a half, I had no difficulty putting layers on thin and smoothing the product so I barely had to file, they filed just fine with hand and e-file, I thought the colors were cute, and I had no problems with the product as far as chemical/weird effects. I actually felt like no matter how dry my brush was and how much monomer I pulled out of the ball, it wanted to act wet. I'm definitely still learning, but this made it easier for me to get a smooth sculpt even if it made it a little harder to wrangle into shape. I didn't have any problems with opacity, but I could see how someone with dark skin could have problems using rose only at the base of the nail. I'd recommend blending pink and rose or using beige/pink at the base, then blending to an ombre anyway. My nails held up for several weeks with no need to clear cap before I got bored of the style and took them off just to change them. I have used some of that crap from Sally and product wasn't consistent from color to color, but no problems with that here, so I was pretty happy with that.The major thing that I didn't love is that every color has shimmer in it and especially that there's no way to know that until you put it on. I don't especially want shimmer in everything and definitely want to know if that's what I'm getting when I read the label.

The media could not be loaded. I like mia secret I work with since 2017When you use with monomer looks like a cream

These are good quality and pretty colors too

A mi esposa le encantan los productos de esta marca,son de gran durabilidad en las uñas
