Kiss Salon Dip Prof Dipping System Acrylic Strength 40 Tip

This is a very good product. It goes on thin and easy to get on. It dries fast with all products. In my opinion it’s not a very strong smell. You remove them like you would at a salon. It’s easy to remove with the right tools. You can still can function with these nails. It’s very pretty just as French tips or just any other nails you desire. You have the ability to have them the length you want. They are long enough to where if you wanted to cut them you can if not you could leave them.

Very beginner friendly it’s my go to kit if I want cheap acrylic nails.

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!

This was very easy to use.

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!

First I want to say everything came in the packaging as described I was happy about that. I suggest getting an actual nail tip cutter because nail trimmer and scissors cut the square edge to rounded duck shape which took a lot of filing to get to where the picture I posted looks. Further more could be my small rounded nails but the fake tip wouldn’t adhere all the way down to my actual nail which left gaps. Next time I will not use a fake nail and or order nails more to fit my small nails, an actual nail tip cutter so the nails don’t get all bent and use my own quick dry nail glue to glue the nails on less sloppy and I’m sure faster drying. The gel application it self is effortless and you just have to know where to begin to build that dip up! My tip start the first coat in the middle and keep working yourself back to your cuticle. Good luck!

Many moons ago, I used to have acrylic nails, and spent a lot of money getting fills done at the salon. Now I'm starting to geeze, and my nails are chipping and splitting and cracking. I knew it was time to do more than just topical nail strengthener, which worked for a little while, but my nails were just too janky.After reading quite a few reviews and searching all over the WWW for what users had to say, I tried this kit. I did forget to use the brush cleaner to soften the line between the nail tip and my natural nail, but I still like the result. There is no doubt that my nails will look even better the next few times I go through this process, because it was not difficult.Make sure that you have your workspace ready in a ventilated area. Don't do this near carpet, protect the area with an old towel, and have several lint-free paper towels ready for brush blotting (Viva cloth-type is excellent for this). Work steadily and not too slowly.Keep your hands dry for maybe 30 minutes. This is easy to do, because you'll want to sit down and carefully shape your beautiful new set of nails.You can do this!

Gel came completely sticky . Totally not worth it. Expect better quality from this brand. Shame
