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.

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!

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

Tired of spending all that money at the salon. Gave this a shot. Pretty impressed. Can’t speak to longevity as I just did them today.Would’ve been nice if a second file was included and I used actual nail glue as opposed to the brush on gel. I’m happy with the outcome and lookforward to seeing if it last.1 wk update. I’ve seen some saying they only lasted a few days. Photo #2 is 10 days later. And I’m kinda rough and they’re still decent. As a first timer well worth the buy. Those saying not for beginners I disagree.

I’ve tried millions of products. I keep going back to theseThe easiest, strongest, most realistic looking nails. Quick and strong and realisticEverything anyone doing their own nails would wish for

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!

Great product initially when it arrived I was sent wrong product but I contacted the seller and they immediately overnighted the correct one I was very happy with purchase

Ordered the kit and when I opened it, it was old brown and dried out. The other liquid was also in bad shape. I tried to open it and it glued shut. It will not unscrew. Also when tried to return, I was only directed to the KISS homepage where it's very difficult to get this issue fixed
