Liquid Dip Essential Steps 1-4 - Includes 4 Full Size Bottles - Bond Base Seal Protect and Top for Dipping Manicures

I’v tried several brands of dip kits. Kiara Sky is my favorite thus far because it has a bottle of “Bond” and I have had ZERO issues with my brushes clumping. (Also for some reason my eyes don't burn when i use this) Other brands do not have BOND (which i have heard is just alcohol as a dehydrator in the bottle) *shrugs* well whatever it is - my manicure lasts for 2-3 weeks. Unlike other dip liquids (modelones and ghdip) where my nails are lifting before 2 weeks, cracked and the brushes clump while doing the top coat. Now i will say that with any of the dip liquids the top coat is the hardest to do with all of the sets. I can never get it right even if i let the activator/sealant dry for 10 minutes, my brushes clump or the top coat is never shiney enough. SOLITION: Get Kiara sky GEL top coat and got a uv lamp. Dude. Game changer. Top coat easily applied in 3-5 minutes. Salon quality nails and shiny for weeks!!!!! I feel like a nail tech lol i posted photos of my nails fresh and then a photo of 2 weeks later. Also note that Since I've had different liquid brands- i use different brand powders interchangeably with Kiara Sky Liquids with no issue.

I love these, especially the shape of the brushes. Unfortunately, I messed up the activator brush and now has some areas on it that are hard.. I wish they added a spare brush for this scenario, especially with how much these are... (affordable though for how much you get don’t get me wrong). Also, I feel like the activator comes out with too much liquid no matter how much I try to take off (maybe that’s just me though?).

Best dip manicure I've ever done on myself. So make sure you prep your nails. Push back the cuticles, clean nails with rubbing alcohol pads. 1.Dehydrate one hand 2. Use bond on half the nail and dip into your favorite power. Let residual powered sit on your nail for a min and move onto the next finger. 3. Dust off the residual power. 4. Use bond on full nail, dip, let residual sit, and then dust. Do this one last time!!! 5. Use bond to apply your favorite clear power, let sit, and dust off residual. 6. Apply activator. Wait 5 minutes or so! 7. Use a polish grit file to LIGHTLY file your nail. 8. Apply top coat two times. Work on the second hand! This process helped get rid of the light glaze look that many mentioned.

I’ve been doing my own dip nails for 2 years. After recommendations from the dip subreddit I gave Kira Sky a try since my Dipwell liquids were almost empty. I prep my nails with an alcohol wipe before applying Step 1, yet after 1.5-2 weeks one nail color will inevitably pop off. I have not experienced this issue with Dipwell or Nailboo. Step 2 is much thicker than dipwell’s liquid so you can get away with less layers. Be sure to wipe the brush on the bottle neck well otherwise you’ll get random areas on the nail where your dip is VERY thick. Step 3 is pretty standard Step 4 is thick and takes a lot longer to dry than others I’ve used. 7-10 minutes to dry and I try to use a thin layer but again the liquid is thick. Overall, I’m going to try Revel next as this is not the holy grail of dip liquids.

I've been "nail dipping" for over a year now and really love it! the cost, up front, is pretty pricey; however, once you're set, it quickly recoups the cost. I will say that I run out of #2, 3, & 4 more than one, so I just broke down and purchased the entire set because the individual ones are more pricey. The base can go quickly, as the lid doesn't like to screw all the way back in after you've used it a number of times. I've also found this with the topcoat. The one I was surprised about was the #3, which is a liquid that just sets the powder. I replace that one faster than any of the others. Great products overall. I love doing my own nails now and find these products to be really easy to use and intuitive with the numbers printed on them. It does take some practice (and many fails), but they are awesome once you get used to it!

I really wanted to like this and I don't know if this is how all dip systems are. After a few uses the bottles that carry the liquid number 2 and 4 couldn't open. The liquid in them glued it and I couldn't use it anymore. Also after a few uses the brushed become harder leaving streaks on your nail. So that when you dip your nail into the powder it comes out with thick streaks you have to file down to again and repeat. The finish is a rough and thick layer you have to file a lot. I thought that I could just do a thin layer over my natural nail to protect my nail while ur grows. Think again. This doesn't give you a chance top do that. The first layer might come out thin but with spots not covered forcing you do dip again. That's when you get more uneven parts forcing you to dip again. This especially happens after using the liquids for a while because like I said the brushes become stickier and hard this more difficult to control and use. I chose to buy this because I wasn't a fan of acrylic nails and wanted something more natural and less damaging. Well taking these off and the feel is the same as acrylic nails. I later got an Mia acrylic set as a gift. It's not a dip system. It has a finer powder and it has a brush that you wet and then dip into the powder creating a little gel ball that you place on your nail and brush to your desired shape. The good thing about it is that you can dip the brush into the liquid that will clean your brush. The gel that you shape your nail with read so easy to use and not sticky like the Kiara set. At the end the Mia Secret felt lighter and stronger. Oh one big thing I forgot. The Kirara Sky dip does not adhire very well leaving open edges. I got nail fungus and mt nail was green because I didn't realize that I had an opening. I noticed that the Mia Secret really cures well not leaving openings and it dries fast. Where as this Kiara Sky you have to wait longer or it will move like playdough. I don't recommend it because the adhesive liquid 2 is so sticky and hardens and it is not easy to work with.

I'm torn on this product. Everything but the top coat is great. Tried two separate times following the instructions exactly and the top coat initially looks shiny but only once it is completely dry turns splotchy with dull patches. The first time I needed to go to work and just put a quick gel top coat I already had at home but it only adhered well to the dull patches and peeled off around the edges where it had been shiny within a day. I took them off and tried again wiping the second coat of step 3 more thoroughly (first time I only did a quick swipe with a long free wipe as instructed) and the exact same thing happened, except one of the bristles came loose, stuck in the top coat I ha drop destroy a layer and reapply and when I checked the brush for more loose bristles the entire head of the brush fell off. I had to use a cleaned brush from an extremely cheap kit I had previously bought and the brush was much better quality than the brush in this "luxury" brand. That time after it went splotchy again I just filed off the top coat and applied my gel top coat onto the rough surface and now I'm at a week with a perfect manicure. Up until this point I was extremely disappointed in this kit but it is STRONG. I'm extremely rough on my hands and all other dip kits I've managed to crack within a few days, but not this one. I managed to smash my middle finger HARD (it still hurts three days later) and it didn't crack or chip. I wish you could just get steps 1-3 and save your money to buy a different top coat. Tl;dr: Bottom layers 100% worth it, top coat is complete trash and the brushes are cheap.

This exceeded my expectations! My nails usually don’t last me more than a few days with regular polish, gel, or dip. I’ve had these on for over a week and they haven’t chipped or cracked. I just need to work on shaping, but I didn’t even think these would last! So happy

El producto es muy caro para el resultado obtenido
