Review (4/5): Excellent, Easy to Use Powders
This set surprised me, because I wasn't expecting these powders to be anything more than the average. I love that this is portable and take up little space. The colors are a good mix, although I'd be happier with one of the pinks substituted for something more exciting. Overall great color choices.
The brush is excellent, no fibers fell off and the brush was soft and cleaned the nail powder from the nails without marring the nail surface. The little side set of a cuticle pusher and nail files was nice, I really enjoyed the addition of a cuticle trimmer.
The powders are absolutely amazing. These are the first powders I've ever used that came out perfect, nail after nail. It was extremely easy, and the powder so smoothly covered the nail that I didn't even need to buff them before top coat. They were just smooth, I've never had that happen with dip powders before. The color is also nice and vibrant, you don't need more than 3 dips (I wanted a nice, solid pink) to achieve your look. The addition of the brush saver (step 4) was a lifesaver, I feel it's a must have for doing dip nails.
I didn't like the top coat at all. It didn't spread well, felt stiff, didn't give a good shine... it didn't make sense as the rest of the kit was pretty great. I'd use another top coat next time. Also, the pots of powder are kind of small to dip your nails in, but I made it work. I'd definitely purchase the powders again, I would love to see a powder and brush saver set! I can give or take the activator and base coat, but don't recommend the top coat. Great starter dip set.
