After trying this system, I'm done with acrylics!!!
I'm a retired nail tech that has used/ worn acrylics for over 30 years. I was low on product but before I reordered more acrylic powder/liquid, I thought I'd research what else was out there. I love a French manicure but it's such a pain to do on yourself. After researching lots of systems, I went with this TP Dipping system. It was simple ( not 5 or 6 steps) and affordable. I ordered on Friday, received it Monday (yesterday). I soaked off my old acrylics ( which takes a while). I then applied nail tips( which Tony's YouTube does not address) and applied a set of TP dipping powder nails. I love the fact I no longer fill my house with the horrible smell of the acrylic monomer, this set was applied MUCH quicker, easier with a great French manicure set!!! This was my first try, so I'll change a few things next time. Next time I think I'll apply, like other systems, applying the first dip on 3/4 of the nail, rather than the whole nail. Secondly, I won't use the enclosed the enclosed file, but rather a smoother file that doesn't scratch up the nail during the final file ( there's plenty of finer grit files out there). And I wouldn't waste my time trying to buff the nails with the shining buffer. To achieve a really shiny finish, apply a coat of the nail dip and a coat of the activator for a really shiny nail. I will never go back to acrylics again! This is a much quicker, more efficient method of creating beautiful nails. I'm so happy I found out about dipping nails. Hope this review helped those of you considering to try dipping powders.UPDATE!!! I still like the product itself, but I've had this kit 4 WEEKS and the brush in the lid of the bottle of activator broke off IN THE BOTTLE. GRRRR! This bottle is necessary to the system and useless now. Not a happy costumer .

THIS IS ACRYLIC
Buyer beware. It is not like the nexgen powder system in the salons. This is ACRYLIC powder. Thats the first ingredient on the container. Its hard to file if you dont have a working drill. And the gel dip goes on thick and sloppy. Its impossible to get thin. I am not happy.

It was so painful and I looked down to see the nail ripped ...
I was not going to write a review until 3 weeks passed; but this morning while trying to stop my dog from running away I hit my middle finger on the door. It was so painful and I looked down to see the nail ripped off but it was perfectly intact. With regular acrylics that would of been long gone and that's why I give this product 5 stars. Along with it being easy to use and reasonably priced I am glad I gave this brand a shot. However, if you suck at putting on nail polish, nail dipping will be hard, but with practice this is the way to go!!

Like the results after much filing
Like the results after much filing. The gel base is much thicker than it appears on the video so you can"t get a thin coat as instructed to do. Sellers reply to my concerns was to keep it in a cool place and it would last forever. It may last but it is still too thick. I hope the problem is only with my bottle. The process is easy, for my first time I think it looks very nice but will have to buy more gel if it thickens any more.

ABSOLUTELY in love with this!!
As a "do it yourself" nail enthusiast I've been eyeballing the dip powders for quite some time. Generally, I've been all about the gel polish for years. My last adventure away from gel was the builder gels and those were an epic fail. But like a giddy girl at christmas I ripped into this and I'm ABSOLUTELY in love with it. Super easy, nearly impossible to mess up and doesn't seem to damage my nails (so far at least lol). The jars you get with the kit are large enough to properly dip your nails and even though 1oz doesn't sound like much, it s definitely enough to do many Many sets. I looks natural on my natural nail, and hardens quite well allowing me to be a bit rougher with my nails without fearing breakage. Not sure how long it holds up, cause I enjoy doing them so much I haven't let the chip yet. My only complaint, which is insignificant I suppose, is in their video it says to shake up the powder, however if you do you will lose quite a bit of powder when you unscrew the lid. Overall, super ecstatic!!! Love it !!!

Very pleased. Easy to use.
I have had my acrylic nails done for years. After losing my nail tech, I haven't been real happy with the jobs done since. Finally went out on a limb to try nail dip myself. This is very easy to use lasts the same as acrylic, and if is not right, I have myself to blame and can fix it quickly.

Easy and Great Value... buying more colors!!!
This was easier than what I thought. I ended up buying fake nails and using this kit on myself and did my cousins after. At first the gel dip was a little sticky so i realized Since it was perfect by the time i did my cousins nail because I should have moved it around more the first time. After you apply activator buff those nails until they are smooth (that took me 15 minutes) and a step i added after buffing was wash your hand and dry them. Before adding gel dip. It was easier to do on someone else sonif you have someone like a sister do each others. I am so happy I got this set since it was only 3 steps and it had a lot of colors. I always loved getting my nails done but its hard being a single mom and trying to get there and to then spend so much time there!! I am ordering more colors next week!!! Adding pic of my cousins nails.

So easy
This system is so easy. Some of the other systems have a lot of steps and are some what confusing. This one is quite simple. The only thing I don’t like is that it didn’t come with a glossy top coat, but you can use a gel top coat which I did. At first I followed their instructions and used the gel dip as top coat, I don’t recommend it. It’s not the glassy shine you expect. Any glossy top coat will work, I used China glaze’s. The outcome is beautiful. I recommend this to a new user or to the veteran. It’s very nice.
