Kiara Sky Professional Nails Essential Dip Powder - Light Pink 2oz - Perfect for French Manicures

Ok life changing may be an exaggeration but really, this dip system is the greatest!! My nails grow super fast but are weak and thin, and my job as a bartender is incredibly hard on them so growing my nails past my fingertips was pretty much impossible. Once I got any kind of length I'd inevitably break one and have to cut them all down to match. I've tried nail strengtheners, gel, etc and nothing has worked as well or has been as convenient as this dip. For details, read on! So at the recommendation of a friend, I got the base (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LBIA4DW/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1), this clear powder and the seal (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LBID4W0/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). My nails have never looked better! I do a layer of the base, dip into this powder, wait a few minutes for it to dry, brush off any extra with a clean makeup brush, do another layer of the base and the dip, wait for it to dry, brush off the extra then apply this seal. I wipe with alcohol, file any irregularities down, apply another layer of seal, then apply whatever nail polish I want over it. On me it lasts about a week before I've destroyed at least a nail or two and I'm ready to remove but I'd imagine on someone with a job that doesn't beat the crap out of their hands it would last much longer. On occasion I will fill in a spot that I have managed to break which is super easy. Just remove the polish with non acetone remover, apply the base to the bald spot and do the same process above, then file down the area until it's even and repaint. The nail will look brand new. I have these for removal (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018QN8V9O/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I cut cotton balls in half, soak them in acetone and apply them to my nails for about 20 minutes. I'll use a hair dryer to speed up the process if I am in a hurry as the heat activates the acetone. Then I slide the clips off my hands and the dip comes right off. I have used gel in the past but no matter what I did, the gel would be a struggle to remove and I'd always find myself having to aggressively file off pieces that refused to come off, even after soaking for 30+ minutes and the gel always managed to damage a nail or two which would result in breakage. It was also a lot easier to end up with uneven or thick nails with the gel, but with this dip any irregularities you end up with can just be filed away. My first application of this dip system was in mid January (the purple polish) and so far there has been no damage as a result of the dip. I have managed to break part of the tip of one nail which had to be cut down and the side of my thumb despite having dip on, but that was the fault of my job, not the the fault of the dip (and with the help of some acrylic tips and IBD resin from Sally's, you'd never know the difference!). So the purple nail pic (ILNP Zoe for anyone interested) was my original application of the dip and is the length I'm usually stuck with. You can see the progression of growth, the bright pink (ILNP Pucker Up) being the most recent at 6 weeks after the original dip application. I've yet to attempt to fill in growth which is probably very easy to do but removal is so easy I'd rather just start clean every time and dark colors do stain the dip so when going from a dark to light color it's better just to remove the dip completely and start new. If you've made it this far, thanks for reading my novel! Just cannot say enough good things about this dip. Buy it!!

Definitely feels alot better quality than modelones, the dip comes out more even and clean. It also only takes like 2 dips to get thickness on the nails. The other brand wasnt as clear as i could see some bubbles and speckles, but this brand is clean and clear with no bubbles. Medium pink is the perfect dip for a natural looking nail, very pretty without color or with french design. I love the thickness and how sturdy they feel and they don't lift when filing.

I am very happy with this powder

WOW! I needed a new clear dip powder because as you can see from my pictures, my old one is very cloudy for some reason. Not clear, cloudy. The index finger is this brand and the rest are my old brand, look at the difference! I was looking and I came across this one, i wasn't to sure since I'm new to SNS I didnt want to spend a bunch being as I seem to waste a lot but I had this in my cart for awhile and figure "what the heck" so I bought it! Holy crystal clear guys! This is beautiful, it shows off the pink of my natural nail beautifully making a gorgeous french tip! The powder is incredibly fine, like baking flower fine which I love. It came in a very large container which should last me months!! Easy to use as well!! I'll definitely be sticking with this brand from now on, and now I see the price was worth every penny.

10/10 recommend

Right after opening my amazon package, this looked like the real thing and I was excited for the price paid for the dip powder. BUT upon screwing open the container, I am kind of sketched that this is not the real product. Unlike my other "Kiara Sky" dipping powder, this one was VERY dirty along the ridges and had a lot of loose powder around the edges. A couple of the pictures show that the container does have a sticker on the container, over the cap and the container, which makes it look as though its sealed...but whenever I initially picked it up, I felt powder on my hands. So, I tried unscrewing the cap without taking off or messing with the container and sure enough!!! You can unscrew, AND RE-SCREW, the container with the sticker still in place and looking deceivingly intact. It does not have a tamper seal on the outside of the container, nor does it have a foam liner on the inside to seal the powder off. I've bought powders from Kiara Sky in the past and they do have seals. Yes, it does have the correct labeling and product stickers, but this makes me think that maybe the product (the powder) isnt actually Kiara Sky's product. If it is, the non-sealed container still grosses me out. Who knows what/who touched this before it was shipped out?!? I have not used the powder yet and I'm not sure if I'm going to, as the possibility of contamination is very likely. That is very disappointing to me and has left me as a dissatisfied & questioning customer. VERY UPSET!

The quality is great, and Kiara Sky has a good variety of colors. That said, it is hard to tell what the color of each dip powder is just from the Amazon listing. I found that it was helpful to look up the same color on the Kiara Sky website -- they were more accurate than Amazon. And the Amazon photo reviews were also really helpful, which is why I am adding mine. I loved Oh Dear! and Mauve a Lil Closer. I think Oh Dear! was pinker than it looks in my photo. It is sort of a rose-colored pink, not bright. It is great for fall when you are not ready yet for the deep reds/purples. (Great for any season, really.)

Loooooove this brand so much. I only ever get really basic designs at the nail salon, so the kiara sky dip powder is so nice to have on hand for everyday manicures. The white is so nice and hasn’t tarnished at all (but I just bought it so we’ll see). Use it with the kiara sky dip liquid set and have 1 fine and 1 rough grit nail filer on hand and you are more than good to go for a basic manicure. Some patience goes a long way too. Best dip powder brand I’ve ever used. Super easy to apply and lasts me at least a week and a half.

This powder has convinced me that brand does matter. I have tried a variety of powders unsuccessfully, then upgraded my bases to no avail. Finally took the plunge and bought the best. So worth it. I have a professional quality manicure without even having to file before the top coat. Incredible!

Very happy with the product! Fast delivery, Excellent price. Definitely using amazon Australia again

J'ai commandé ce rose pour aller avec mon blanc de french je suis déçu je n'aime pas le fini et quand les ongles se décolle on voit une différence de couleur.
