Best Dip Manicure Kits of 2025

"This was my first time trying dip nails, and I was pleasantly surprised by the results. It took me less than an hour from start to finish, and I loved how quickly they dried! However, the last step did remain a bit tacky and needed a full 60 seconds to dry. I used color number 417, but it ended up being almost transparent instead of the light pink I expected. Overall, a great bang for your buck!"

"I was really excited to try this product, but I found the instructions lacking. They mentioned using a base coat, but it wasn’t included in the kit. I had to order a whole new set just to get it, which was frustrating. Despite that, I do enjoy the colors and think it’s a decent starter kit."

"I was thrilled when I received my kit, but sadly, my nails started chipping off within an hour after application. I’ve used other dipping powders before that lasted much longer. I feel like I wasted my money on this product, as my nails cracked the very next day!"

“I was really impressed with the quality when I first bought Azure. However, now they give you half the product for the same price, and the powder is very gritty.”

“I've wanted to try doing my own nails for years. After buying this kit, I found it very easy to use for my first time.”

“The hardest part was removing the SNS I had from the salon. But with a nail drill and acetone, this set provides everything else I need to get started.”

"I'm new to nail dip and have watched several videos to learn how to do it well. The second time I did my nails, I was very pleased with the result. The colors are beautiful neutral shades and the powder is very fine, leaving no clumps. I plan to mix colors on my next manicure."

"After getting tired of salon prices, I've been using this set for a year now. I’ve improved my skills, and I find that applying thin coats really makes a difference. I like doing three coats, and my nails last about two weeks."

"I really want to love this kit, but I've faced some challenges. It's my second kit, and the finish isn't as smooth. The containers are small, and I ended up wasting most of the color when I dropped one. I might consider returning it."

"I received my package in less than 24 hours. This was my first time trying dip polish, and I am absolutely obsessed! The quality of the product really impressed me, and my nails look fabulous. I have weak nails that break easily, and this product has given them strength. Just keep in mind that the colors may appear about 5 shades darker than the powder. Overall, I highly recommend it!"

"After trying other brands like SNS and Revel, I decided to give this product a shot. So far, it's easy to use and looks promising. I’m hoping it lasts as long as the competitors, around 3-4 weeks."

"I have been doing my own nails for years, and I love Azure's products. This set surprised me with the gorgeous colors and all the accessories included. My manicures last for 5 weeks with no lifting or chipping, which makes it a great value. However, I found the powder jars to be quite small, so I had to use the provided dip tray to avoid spills."

"I am obsessed with this kit! It took me a while to get used to it, but I think I'll get quicker over time. The e-file is a must-have to save time; otherwise, I'd be filing for hours. I'm impressed so far and can't wait to see the long wear results!"

"Using this kit was a breeze for me! My nails turned out fantastic after just one use of the Azurebeauty dip powder. I even purchased the bond separately after reading reviews, and everything worked perfectly. I'm excited to keep improving and trying new designs!"

"I really like the nail dips, but unfortunately, the piece on the nail drill broke off after just the second use. It's a bit disappointing, but I still find the nail dips to be easy and enjoyable to use."

“I found this dip powder to be perfect for beginners. There’s definitely some trial and error, but I love that I can mix and match colors for a unique look.”

“The kit I received is everything I wanted! I would rate it 10/10 for quality and ease of use.”

“I was drawn to this kit for its great price and the amount of products included. The product quality is fantastic, and I’d definitely recommend it!”

"I’m SOOOO impressed with this kit! This is my first experience with acrylic dip powder, and I purchased it to help my nails grow while being protected. Initially, I planned to use it only when my nails got long, but even with short nails, I feel like I just left the salon! I’m thrilled with the quality and look. I chose the teal color, which I think is popular for a reason. I found the variety of colors a bit overwhelming, but that's not a bad problem to have. I finished my nails in 30 minutes or less, and they turned out fantastic! Following the directions made it easy, and I believe beginners will find it manageable as well. I can't wait to explore chrome powders over the acrylic. Previously, gel polishes would peel off, but I’m hopeful these will last. It’s been 3 days with no chipping or peeling, and I’m very excited about my nail journey!"

"The kit has everything needed to get started, and I appreciate the clear printed instructions. However, I found it a bit tricky to dip my full nail into the small powder containers. Since this is a starter kit, I figured I’d eventually buy larger versions of the colors, which I have already done. On quality, my nails lasted a week and a half without chipping, but once I had a chip in just one day. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this for anyone looking to save money and do their nails at home."

"This is a great kit for beginners! I’m okay at painting my nails but not an expert, so it felt like a gamble. The kit comes with almost everything needed to get started, and the instructions are easy to follow. There’s also plenty of advice available online. My main tip is to take your time, as the process involves several layers. I tackled 2 or 3 nails at a time, which made it manageable. I’m looking forward to using it more!"

"I've tried many pricey dip powders, but this one sticks the best. My only issue is that the base, activator, and top coat containers aren't even half full."

"Using the Azure Beauty kit has been a game-changer for me! I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use. I’ve already changed colors 7-10 times, and I learn more each time. The polish lasts longer than regular polish, and I feel like I've been to a salon without the high cost!"

"I was impressed with the quality of this dip powder. It goes on smoother than professional products and lasts a long time. The containers are small, but that’s expected from a sampler kit. I recommend keeping your expectations realistic."

"I absolutely love this product! The scents are mild, unlike some other activators. It seems to be of great quality because my dip polish has lasted a long time. Thank you!"

"As someone new to dip nails, I had my doubts. However, the more I use it, the better my nails look. It takes some time, usually around 20 minutes, but it's still cheaper than salon visits. I’m torn between a 3 and a 4-star rating. It's worth trying!"

"I had never tried dip nails before, and I was pleasantly surprised. This kit dries almost instantly, which is a huge plus for me. The instructions are clear, and once you get the hang of it, it's really user-friendly. I’ve received compliments on my nails!"

"I was hesitant to try dip powder, but this kit has impressed me. The selection of colors is fantastic, and I believe it's great for beginners. I had a few user errors, but overall, it’s a bargain compared to salon prices!"

"This kit is amazing! It has everything needed for my first dip nails, and I’m really pleased with the result. I do wish there was a color guide showing the final appearance, as the powders don't match exactly."

"I’ve done two sets now and I'm very impressed! The first set was a bit rushed, but the second is holding up wonderfully. Taking my time made a huge difference, and I love the results!"
