beetles 85 Pcs Spring Gel Nail Polish Kit with UV Light – 35 Colors All in One Manicure Kit, Travel Diary Collection Beetles Gel Polish Set with Nail Tools for Beginners

Perfect to get your feet wet!
I absolutely love this gel polish kit! If you are looking to get your feet wet and do your own nails this the way to do it. The assortment of colors is just right. The light works. It only has the option of 60 secs which is fine. I cure for at least 2x’s most of the time 3. I have had no issues. There is everything you need to get your feet wet and see if gel polish is for you. It is a get value for the money!

Great set if on a budget IF you know what you’re doing…
For the price, I love these sets. 5mL may not seem like a whole lot in comparison to a 12-15mL bottle, but they sure do go a long way with how well the application is smooth and deposits a lot of color even with one thin layer.They’re not thick and goopy like a lot of other cheaper branded gel polish, so that is a major plus. Two layers and you will have such a lovely shade of jelly polish, so that 5mL in those little bottles can go a long way if you’re conservative with your application. The variation in shades is also nice. I will definitely have to look into to another beetles jelly set for even more colors.I haven’t had any issues with their durability. I use them on custom press-ons for myself, and the colors remain. Even the top coats are great and apply so smoothly — honestly some of my favorite gel topcoats (just minus the strong smell).My only gripe (reason for taking a star away) is that a few bottles have these weird fibers or tiny little debris in them, like the polish had dust or something upon packing that would never apply smooth/clean. I make sure my work space around my desk for my nails is clean with a filtered fan going and I always brush away any filings and clean my tips in alcohol to have a clean surface. However, I go to take the brush out of the bottle, do a thin layer, and see fibers and little gritty pieces. I do a few swipes to get rid of them on the nail, but I found this to be the case with half of the bottles in this set. 😕Now, I see a lot of grumbling and groans in nail art communities when beetles is mentioned. I know this brand (along with many others you can buy similar sets from) gets slammed a lot by licensed professionals who urge people to instead buy known HEMA-free brands, however … I get it. I understand why many urge customers to go for higher quality because people see the price for these sets and see it’s a lovely value, but they often don’t do any research into HEMA or acrylate allergies.Way too many people buy these sets and then don’t understand why their skin around their fingers itch and burn, thus blaming the brand for a bad batch or something, not understanding that you’re not supposed to let ANY gel polish get on the skin, for one. Two, you absolutely do get what you pay for — HEMA-free is a bit more costly, and there is a reason why you can get so many little bottles of this gel polish for such a low price compare to $180+ sets from more known brands in the industry that strive to be HEMA-free.However, this isn’t something that is exclusive to beetles — it’s something all consumers need to know and understand with ALL gel polish no matter the brand.I personally think these sets are amazing for those on a budget given how much that comes with it. Perfect for those that are getting into doing their own nails/making press-ons who know and understand the risks of using gel polish, but they strive to make sure they do a CLEAN application and don’t get any on their skin (or will at least act quick to remove it ASAP before they do, especially since you don’t want to cure polish on the skin — don’t do that!).If they’re only using these sets on THEIR OWN nails or making press-ons, I think it’s totally fine and I am so glad there are brands offering these sets for these prices. They’re great for practicing and offer a good variety. Just don’t use these sets on anyone else due to the HEMA and charging money for it, especially if you’re unlicensed … so incredibly risky unless you know exactly what you are doing.However, grab a set of these if you’re looking for some cute jelly gel polish to use on yourself or for some press-ons. You won’t be disappointed, especially for the price. Just BE CAREFUL! Do your research!

Stepped it up!
I love to do my own nails and have always used Beetles polish but I haven’t ordered any in a while aside from their liners. I wanted to try out some jelly polishes so I ordered this and I have to say the packaging is so much better than it used to be. Honesty I didn’t even read that it came with additional tools like a file, buffer, nail clippers, etc., and even plastic nails to use for swatches. I know Beetle gets a bad rap from social media for people having allergic reactions, but I have never had an issue and will continue to use.

good, but i’m allergic
the kit itself is nice, i wish the nail glue were a bit better, but other than that it works how it should. BUT THE WORST PART. i’m allergic to it. i’ve been breaking out in rashes on my thumbs areas of my leg where i assume the gel got on. i just don’t understand why male gel polish with a common ingredient people have issues with. i was googling and it seems very common amongst some people. just very unfortunate i guess, but it’s a decent kit overall

El kit viene súper completo, se ve de muy buena calidad y los colores están súper variados entonces te puedes hacer mil looks. Súper recomendado

Super Set! Die Farben sind sehr deckend! Leider braucht man bei den hellen farben eine 2. Schicht. Die lampe ist sehr stark und leicht warm. Bin sehr zufrieden als Anfängerin!
