I started with an Azure beauty kit a year ago! Still some of the smoothest powders out of all the brands I've tried. I don't care for how narrow the containers are though lol but once I transferred them to different containers it was on and poppin! 😂😂
My experience with this brand is that I have to do that second activator step after filing and buffing. I started using it following the instructions and I always had trouble with the top coat not drying until I watched a video that mentioned the necessity of that second activator step. Now I do it that way and have no issues.
That's crazy how good the powders are and also so great that you are doing these videos so that way people can afford to dip their nails. Might have to invest in the liquids💖
Thank you so much for the feedback 🥰 I certainly understand how expensive it can be when you’re just starting out or can’t afford a salon 💖 please let me know what you think if you try out the liquids 🙌🏼
100% AGREE. What I love about it is it does not get thick, it does not end up drying out in the bottle and you have to throw away 3/4 of the product of other brands. Thanks for the review.
You have a strong voice that is easy to listen to and learn from. I believe what you say because of your confidence and obvious experience. Thank you for sharing. This is the third video I have watched of yours today.
I’ve tried acrylic I’ve tried poly gel I’ve tried just a builder I’ve tried builder with tips I’ve tried so much and my husband always says it takes me forever to do my nails, I bought a dip powder kit from azure beauty and he just doesn’t understand why I spend so much on my nails 😂 I won’t blame you but I can’t wait to try this! ❤️
I enjoy painting my nails and doing nail art but want stronger nails to work on, so I was eyeing buying the clear powder and liquid separately but had similar worries. Thanks so much for reviewing the liquids in so much detail as well as all the tips inserted.
So glad I found your channel!! I have learned so much from you and your techniques! I just bought the nude one of these kits and it has a clear in it so I can’t wait to give it a try using them like you do :)
This makes my heart smile! Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback. I can’t wait to hear what you think of your kit! I’m here if you need any help 💖💖💖
I just bought the Matte liquid set plus their clear and red powders. I cannot *wait* to get dipping. It really is a great beginner dip brand- although calling it beginner is a misnomer, everything is salon quality!
Will you please also review the Azure Beauty kit that comes with 8 colors? That one comes with liquid base, liquid activator, liquid gel top, liquid brush saver, file, brush and 3 extra brushes for the liquid things!!! So glad to see you reviewing this 12 color kit as well because I also got that one! I'm brand new to this and your videos are really helpful!!! Thank you!!!!!
Thanks u sooo much for this, I ordered the Bettle kit, but saw this b4 Amazon shipped it and was able cancel the order and get the Azure. I must say ur video was so informative and I was able to complete my first dip effortlessly. Great tips. It was my first time trying anything on my nails other than polish. I’m in love with this! Thank u!🙏🏾👏🏽🙌🏽
ETA: I have never had this product crack or lift. My manicures have lasted at least 2 weeks. At that point, my nails have grown out enough that I'm changing color. I started with Azure a few months ago after trying whatever Dip powder walmart sold a couple of years ago. I hated dip Manis when I tried the Walmart stuff. I LOVE my nails now that I use Azure. My third kit just arrived an hour ago, and I can't wait to get home from work to change my color.
I bought their dips a few years ago from Born Pretty. I saved the chrome ones and put the others in a box of dips to pass on, they didn't have liquids at the time. Love that mani. it looks so pretty and perfect for spring
Really?! I tried them out a few years ago from Amazon too! But it came with the regular little travel size bottles 🙈 it’s so funny how many brands we’ve all tried over the years and I honestly can’t remember how I felt about them lolll!
@@SipAndDip I never used them LOL. I was a buyer back then. Now I buy what I will use and get pissed if it is no good. Back then I was just buy buy buy
Love the video, I will be a newbie once I decide what color nail powder to buy. Just wanted to say thanks for the informative and hands on tutorial, you make it look so easy, I can't wait to try it.😊😊
I started out with modelones and then tried azure. With both I always had problems with cracking and lifting after only a few days. I’ve since learned a lot of tips and tricks. After a couple months of getting my nails done professionally I decided to try at home manicures again. I invested in some Kiara sky products and started using tips as well. I did my first mani a couple days ago and it seems to be holding up well. I’m curious if azure will work better now that I’ve learned some new tricks
It’s definitely worth a shot now that you’ve tried new products and techniques 🫶🏻 some dip powders + liquids are less dense/thinner than others so it’s possible you need more layers. I’d definitely suggest trying to add more layers or building up an apex too 💖
I just ordered it!!! SO excited 😍😍 What do you have underneath the first layer? As in: What products do I need to get to start off using this set? I watched a LOT of your videos haha but I’m struggling to figure out what it is I need extra.. like a base and or nail dehydrator?
So excited I found your channel! I started with the Azure nude kit and love it! After watching your videos I decided to order some Revel products. Can’t wait to get them and compare the two.
This was the brand I started with. Mine was much more expensive though, and it was 5 liquids-included a bond, separate top and base and a brush saver. The literal only thing I did not like was the clear that did come with it. It’s a grainy one. But I was very happy with the liquids!
So happy you tried them out! I tried out a similar kit from this brand over a year ago and it had the little travel size set of liquids. So I was pleasantly surprised to see some full size liquids 🙌🏼 it’s so tricky finding good clears 😭💖
I just went to purchase this kit after pondering on it for a few days and it’s sold out! I’m not surprised because it looks so nice but I am kicking myself for not jumping on this kit sooner. Thank you for the review.
Ahhhh oh nooo! I’m so sorry to hear that 😭 I was afraid that would happen. After I reviewed a Beetles kit they doubled the price and then it sold out. I feel like I need to start a FB group just to share my thoughts about kits with y’all first so y’all get dibs before the video goes up 🤣
Just found your channel and been binge watching. Just got my first dip manicure at a salon a few weeks ago and loving it because it keeps me from ripping my nails which I have a bad habit of doing from anxiety fidgeting. Haven't seen this answered in other vids so sorry if you did, but curious as to 1) is the reason for buffing before top coat just to make sure it's flat and smooth? I don't remember salon doing that to my nails and they look great so was curious - I may have just forgotten cause they were super fast. 2) How do you clean your brushes between manicures so the color doesn't stay on them?
I use a different brand of kit-Kiara Sky. It comes with a bottle called “Brush Saver.” It’s a good cleaner. I have no idea about your other question. Sorry. 😊
I just got one of these kits on an impulse lol. I've had bad luck in the past with nail polish and my nails peeling so I stopped doing my nails for years. Did the dip nails tonight and happy with it so far. My application could use practice but it was my first time using this stuff. Thankful for RUclips tutorials! Lol.
I just bought this kit. I have used some of their powders, but never the liquids. I did like the powders when I used them. They were great. I have been thinking about trying to liquids. This just gave me the push I need! Thank you for the review!
@@SipAndDip The liquids are great. What stood out to me the most though were the bottles the liquids come in. So nice!! I have used 4 or 5 different liquids so far and these are definitely my favorite bottles so far ❤️
I love your review videos! Thinking of getting myself my first dip set and setting my eyes on this. Is it hard to remove it though? Want to be sure not to hurt my already very fragile nails! 🤔
Hiii! Welcome to our dip powder community 💓 it’s not hard to remove at all! All you’ll need is pure 100% acetone. This is a thinner consistency product so removal is a breeze. Here’s how I like to soak them off 🫶🏻ruclips.net/video/shbTA_S-7bY/видео.htmlsi=kcB3vYJDmCUHZ_8R
Thinking of trying this dip kit. May I ask why you file and shape after you've applied the product rather that doing all the filing and shaping first like with traditional UV gel? Is this just what you have to do with dips? Total newbie here.
Hi Chelsea- I didn’t even finish watching this- as soon as you said buy this now or put in your cart, I used your link and ordered the liquids. I’ve got more than I need of dip powders. Now I’ll go and watch the video! 😂
The azure liquids are slow drying? Like slow enough to use loose glitter and do clean up? Also which kit is better out of beetles, azure, and models one?
They are definitely slow drying ! I had no issues with feeling rushed and had plenty of time to clean up. I haven’t tried them with loose glitter but if you do, please let me know how it goes 💗 out of the 3 I’d probably have to put my money on the 2 in 1 azure. I also just bought modelones’ 2 in 1 to test out. I believe they’re sister companies so I’ll be reviewing it soon 🥰
Oh no I can't find the shades! 😭 hope they bring it back! I love Amazon sets for basics. I'd rather support small businesses for the more specialized dips. Gonna buy this kit as soon as they bring it back!
I have a question and I hope you see this. I live your DIY reviews. I started to do my own nails and wanted to try this kit. So I want to know If I stay within the Azurebeauty brand, do you think I could use those liquids with any of their powders?
Hi Jessica!! Thank you so much! 💗💗 I use peel base on my natural nails. It allows for easy pop off removal of dip powder and zero acetone soaking. Only downfall is it usually only allows the dip powder to last a few days. So mine lasts anywhere from 2-5 days before they pop off. It works for my filming schedule but is definitely not great if you want the manicure to last 💗
Hello I love your videos! They are so educational. I usually can’t stand the videos when the person talks too much but yours I could listen all day. I do have a question. You mentioned that this was a slow base. But when I read the instructions with the kit that I received(which is one of the ones you suggested). The instructions state that the base is fast dry.
💖💖💖 thank you so much for your kind feedback! So technically speaking, all bases are “fast” drying in the sense that they’ll dry on their own. I believe that the amazon companies list that so you know to dip into the dip powder immediately after applying it to the nail. Basically, don’t apply the base liquid and walk away or it’ll dry 😆 but in comparison of how quickly the base dries with other brands that I’ve used, I find it to be slower drying. I can tell this by after dipping into the powder I am still able to clean around my cuticle area before the powder hardens. I also noticed that after dipping into the powder the nail was still shiny and wet looking which also means it’s slower drying. When that happens all you have to do is dip back into the powder so it can absorb into the liquid. It comes down to personal preference truly when it comes to dry time. I like to suggest slower ones for the new faces so they don’t feel rushed 💖 hope this helps!
How long does it honestly last? I ordered nail boo and still waiting for it and now I came across this channel, which is so awesome. So, I purchased Bettles yesterday but now I see this video LOL now I dont know which one to really use. But for the price of bettles, I am just trying it first. More like to start practicing. I just wanted to know how long they last. Thanks!
Hiii welcome to our little dip community 🫶🏻 longevity comes down to prep. So properly prepping your nails will ensure them to last weeks. Also making sure you have enough strength (layers of dip powder) for your nail length and lifestyle is important. Once you find what works best for you, they’ll last weeks 🥰
What is your opinion of 2-in-1 systems overall, compared to traditional systems where the liquids are separate and there are more steps? Even within the same brand, traditional Azure compared to their 2-in-1? Do you like them more for beginners and/or for those who aren’t interested in stocking up on a bunch of inventory or do you see someone like yourself moving in this direction or gravitating towards 2-in-1 systems?
@@SipAndDip my husband is an over the road truck driver. So we are headed to California. Any plans for you? I bring my nail stuff with me so I’ll be doing them either tomorrow or Sunday ❤️
Yayyy! Can’t wait to hear what you think!! So the shine that you see is called peel base. It’s a product that I paint on my nails so I can “pop” the dip powder off within 1-3 days. It lets me avoid acetone and keep up with content. Only downfall is the manis only last like a day 😮💨🙈
Hi, love your videos. I’m living abroad currently and because of that I have a limited amount of dip systems to choose from. Do you have any thoughts on Elisium Diamond, Gelish or Kabos?
Wow, I am kicking myself for not getting the it's with the liquids now. 😂 the 2 in 1 base/top made me nervous, so I got the ones with powders only. I do enjoy them a lot, so I'm gonna def try their liquids.
My very first dips I bought when I wanted to try it out were azure. I then bought beetles because of all the hype but beetles has a very chalky look to their colors in my experience. TFS ❤️
Ok I was about ready to throw my zip powder across the room last night! (I didn’t!) so…new day…I’m going To have a go again once I get my new first step cuz mine is gooey!! Thanks for the tutorial!! I’ll do it again on Tuesday, when I get the new stuff!!
@@SipAndDip i really struggle with how thick the stuff is when ya dip. If I try to go lighter on the base, then I have blanks. But, yes, I’m going to plugging your video back in and have a go! Thankful for RUclips tutorials!!
@@kathydittmer9659 I totally understand! It really is a happy medium of too much and too little. Have you tried the pour over method? That way if you use more base liquid it doesn’t ripple or look thick? I shared more about it in a recent vid (I’ll link below in case) 🫶🏻 My TOP 10 TIPS for a flawless dip powder manicure at home ruclips.net/video/fiRXfcm9zPw/видео.html
What size containers did you get? I received my kits and it is 0.33 oz or 10g i'm not sure if that is full size or not it seems a bit on the small side to me. However it did come with 20 color choices so maybe it will last a long time. Thank you.
I”m first DIY dips and your video was so helpful thank you I have short nails and got some dip color on the top of my finger. What is the best way to get it off so I do not mess up my dip manicure? I also new subbie. I have struggle to find what is best for my nails. I do not like going to salons. TFS Awesome
Hi Martha!! Welcome to our little dip community! So just so I’m understanding, you got some of the product on your skin and want to get it off without ruining your manicure on your nails? Or are you asking how to remove the dip manicure on your nails? Just want to make sure I’m understanding 🥰💗
Oh yes sorry. I have very short nails and while doing my manicure I got bonding and dip powder on the top of my finger after dipping finger into powder. I do not want to mess up my manicure. What is the best way to get that off the top of my finger without messing up mani? Also what e-file would you recommended? You are right this is the best my nails have looked. I have tried everything too. New loyal follower. Blessing
Thank you so much. I purchased two other Azure beauty kits because of your review and extra liquid and brushes. They came in yesterday and I tried it out today. Being new at using dip powder the slower dry time was definitely for me! Very happy and pleased! Thanks again!
Ive been using their top coat over Triple vitamin liquids, for years. I havent tried the rest of the line. I never do a second l!yee of activator snd I never have a problem.
Ohhh that’s tricky!! It’s been so long since I’ve used modelones liquids like over a year. I only got to try modelones in the little travel sizes too so I don’t know if that’s a fair fight 😆 if I had to, I’d pick these 2 in 1 because it’s less products to take up space and full size. But if modelones has a 2 in 1 I’d totally try it!
Oh no!! I’ve already bought the Beetles Kit and the Lavender Violets kit based on your video reviews! (Happy with both!) NOW I’ll have to buy this one too!!!! 💸💸💸 Well I best get to watching this so I can buy it! (Blows beetles out of the water?!!!)
Hey! I'm new to dipping. I have the beetles dip powder set. Is there a set/brand that you recommend? I'm not having any luck with the beetles dip powder set. It only lasts a day before it starts chipping.
So sorry to hear that! 💖 I love the beetles kit and this one featured in the video 🥰 Let’s see if we can figure out this chipping! Is it at the corners of your nails? How many dip powder layers are you doing? 💖
@@cynthiamcevoy8164 thanks for the info! 💖 I would maybe try adding another layer of dip powder! It could be that your nail shape and lifestyle needs a little extra strength. Other than making sure to really cap off the free edge with the top coat 🙌🏼 I had square nails for years so I definitely understand the struggle 😆 it’s one for the reasons I switched to round 🙈😆
I haven't tried this brand yet, but I've heard good things. I could swear I heard this brand was linked to Modelones in a way, like maybe a sister brand?
Yes, I have heard the same! I really enjoyed Modelones liquids as well so that would make sense! I’ve never tried a 2 in 1 dip base + top coat before though 😍
Ahhhhh I’ve never noticed that 🤣🤣🙈 usually it’s 1. PH prep 2. Base 3. Activator 4. Top coat 5. Brush saver Soooo I have NO clue on the 0 and I’m dying laughing on how in the world did I not see that 🤣🤣🤣💀
That’s a great question 💖 I have been doing dip nails at home for a few years and have tried lots of different brands, some good and some bad. From my own experience, I find that as long as you find a prep routine that works for your nail chemistry and lifestyle & have enough dip powder layers, the manicure will last. Chipping can occur from being really hard on your nails too. So usually if I hear someone’s having a chipping issue I suggest adding another layer of dip powder for strength. I also suggest to cap off the free edge really well with the base + top coat. Chipping typically happens at the corners of the nails so by adding a better seal at the free edge, it can help protect it longer 🥰 sometimes the fix to a manicure issue can be solved during application and prep 💖
Hi Emily! The top coat does require 2 layers. So after the first layer, wait about a minute. Then apply the second! I find if you leave a little more on your brush it can give it a shinier more “gel” look! 💗
You will love the Beetles! I know I did! 🙌🏼💖 if you decide to try out these liquids you can totally purchase them separately to use with the Beetles powder 😉 can’t wait to hear what ya think of the Beetles kit!
I bought this kit in a different color for Christmas and I still haven’t tried it yet but I think you have convinced me to do my nails this weekend lol.
You have a few options for matte! 1. After the second activator step, just stop! That will leave a matte look 2. Finish the entire manicure. Then buff off the shine and apply another layer of activator. This will give more strength 3. Apply nail polish matte top coat on top I hope this helps 💕💕
They have a few options! One is a full line of traditional dip liquids (base, activator + top coat individual) and also the 2 in 1 base + top coat and activator as seen in the video 🩷🥰
I started with an Azure beauty kit a year ago! Still some of the smoothest powders out of all the brands I've tried. I don't care for how narrow the containers are though lol but once I transferred them to different containers it was on and poppin! 😂😂

Hiii! Welcome to our dip powder community 💓 it’s not hard to remove at all! All you’ll need is pure 100% acetone. This is a thinner consistency product so removal is a breeze. Here’s how I like to soak them off 🫶🏻ruclips.net/video/shbTA_S-7bY/видео.htmlsi=kcB3vYJDmCUHZ_8R
Thinking of trying this dip kit. May I ask why you file and shape after you've applied the product rather that doing all the filing and shaping first like with traditional UV gel? Is this just what you have to do with dips? Total newbie here.
Hi Chelsea- I didn’t even finish watching this- as soon as you said buy this now or put in your cart, I used your link and ordered the liquids. I’ve got more than I need of dip powders.
Now I’ll go and watch the video! 😂
So do you like the Beetles dip better or this one?? You loved the beetles one before.... which one do you like better??
I would definitely vote for this Azure 2 in 1!
love the colors in the kit, thanks for the review!
Me too!! I think the neon greens will be fun for summer ☀️ thanks for coming to hang! 💖
This brand is amazing. So beginners friendly and won't break the bank
I totally agree! 💖
The azure liquids are slow drying? Like slow enough to use loose glitter and do clean up? Also which kit is better out of beetles, azure, and models one?
They are definitely slow drying ! I had no issues with feeling rushed and had plenty of time to clean up. I haven’t tried them with loose glitter but if you do, please let me know how it goes 💗 out of the 3 I’d probably have to put my money on the 2 in 1 azure. I also just bought modelones’ 2 in 1 to test out. I believe they’re sister companies so I’ll be reviewing it soon 🥰
@@SipAndDip slower drying than beetles? The beetles dried before I could finish cuticle cleaning and that doesn't take me but a few seconds
Oh no I can't find the shades! 😭 hope they bring it back! I love Amazon sets for basics. I'd rather support small businesses for the more specialized dips. Gonna buy this kit as soon as they bring it back!
So much yes!! I agree!! I’ll try to keep an eye on this kit and update y’all if it comes back 💗
I have a question and I hope you see this. I live your DIY reviews. I started to do my own nails and wanted to try this kit. So I want to know If I stay within the Azurebeauty brand, do you think I could use those liquids with any of their powders?
Absolutely! You can mix and match liquid brands with other dip powder brands too! 🥰 happy dipping! 🫶🏻
Look beautiful.How long full set last and so you get any lifting at cuticle?
So I just put on my first set of these. I used tips. So far, really liking the ease of this kit. So, could I use these liquids with other dip powders?
Absolutely! I mix and match liquids with different brand powders all of the time 🥰 so happy you’re loving your kit! 💖
I love your videos! Can you tell me what you had on your nails already? Was it some type of base before applying your base in this video?
Hi Jessica!! Thank you so much! 💗💗
I use peel base on my natural nails. It allows for easy pop off removal of dip powder and zero acetone soaking. Only downfall is it usually only allows the dip powder to last a few days. So mine lasts anywhere from 2-5 days before they pop off. It works for my filming schedule but is definitely not great if you want the manicure to last 💗
Hello I love your videos! They are so educational. I usually can’t stand the videos when the person talks too much but yours I could listen all day. I do have a question. You mentioned that this was a slow base. But when I read the instructions with the kit that I received(which is one of the ones you suggested). The instructions state that the base is fast dry.
💖💖💖 thank you so much for your kind feedback!
So technically speaking, all bases are “fast” drying in the sense that they’ll dry on their own. I believe that the amazon companies list that so you know to dip into the dip powder immediately after applying it to the nail. Basically, don’t apply the base liquid and walk away or it’ll dry 😆 but in comparison of how quickly the base dries with other brands that I’ve used, I find it to be slower drying. I can tell this by after dipping into the powder I am still able to clean around my cuticle area before the powder hardens. I also noticed that after dipping into the powder the nail was still shiny and wet looking which also means it’s slower drying. When that happens all you have to do is dip back into the powder so it can absorb into the liquid.
It comes down to personal preference truly when it comes to dry time. I like to suggest slower ones for the new faces so they don’t feel rushed 💖 hope this helps!
I love this product. Can I buy 1 color I love in a bigger size?
How long does it honestly last? I ordered nail boo and still waiting for it and now I came across this channel, which is so awesome. So, I purchased Bettles yesterday but now I see this video LOL now I dont know which one to really use. But for the price of bettles, I am just trying it first. More like to start practicing. I just wanted to know how long they last. Thanks!
Hiii welcome to our little dip community 🫶🏻 longevity comes down to prep. So properly prepping your nails will ensure them to last weeks. Also making sure you have enough strength (layers of dip powder) for your nail length and lifestyle is important. Once you find what works best for you, they’ll last weeks 🥰
What is your opinion of 2-in-1 systems overall, compared to traditional systems where the liquids are separate and there are more steps? Even within the same brand, traditional Azure compared to their 2-in-1? Do you like them more for beginners and/or for those who aren’t interested in stocking up on a bunch of inventory or do you see someone like yourself moving in this direction or gravitating towards 2-in-1 systems?
Just got this dip kit. I am so excited
Yayyy! Can’t wait to hear what you think! ✨
Great explanation. I wish all the bottles came clear and longer curved brushes
Hey Chel’s. Happy Friday. I am loving that mani & those colors are beautiful. Have a great weekend girl ❤️
Hey love!! Happy Fri-YAY to you too!! 💖 got anything planned for the weekend?
@@SipAndDip my husband is an over the road truck driver. So we are headed to California. Any plans for you? I bring my nail stuff with me so I’ll be doing them either tomorrow or Sunday ❤️
Just ordered and can't wait to try. It looks like you have a coat of something on your nails before you start this video- is there a step I'm missing?
Yayyy! Can’t wait to hear what you think!! So the shine that you see is called peel base. It’s a product that I paint on my nails so I can “pop” the dip powder off within 1-3 days. It lets me avoid acetone and keep up with content. Only downfall is the manis only last like a day 😮💨🙈
just got my answer at the end of your video-Thanks!
Love the colors. ❤️❤️❤️ they look 🔥🔥🔥
Yesss! They are so fun for Spring and Summer!! 🌷💚
I’m so excited to try this!!!
🎉🎉🎉 happy dipping!
Hi, love your videos. I’m living abroad currently and because of that I have a limited amount of dip systems to choose from. Do you have any thoughts on Elisium Diamond, Gelish or Kabos?
I have two of these kits. They are great! You can also just order the liquids on their own!!!
Yesss! I will absolutely be ordering just the liquids next 🙌🏼💖
Wow, I am kicking myself for not getting the it's with the liquids now. 😂 the 2 in 1 base/top made me nervous, so I got the ones with powders only. I do enjoy them a lot, so I'm gonna def try their liquids.
ME TOO! I was so afraid it would be weird as a base or not shiny as a top. But it most definitely proved me wrong 😆🙌🏼
What would you recommend to prevent lifting I even struggle with that at salons.
I use Azure & always liked their color kits.
My very first dips I bought when I wanted to try it out were azure. I then bought beetles because of all the hype but beetles has a very chalky look to their colors in my experience. TFS ❤️
Did you try the 2 in 1 liquid too from Azure? 🙌🏼💖
What is the brand of your clear color ? You mention is your favorite.
Ok I was about ready to throw my zip powder across the room last night! (I didn’t!) so…new day…I’m going
To have a go again once I get my new first step cuz mine is gooey!! Thanks for the tutorial!! I’ll do it again on Tuesday, when I get the new stuff!!
You got this! 🫶🏻
@@SipAndDip i really struggle with how thick the stuff is when ya dip. If I try to go lighter on the base, then I have blanks. But, yes, I’m going to plugging your video back in and have a go! Thankful for RUclips tutorials!!
@@kathydittmer9659 I totally understand! It really is a happy medium of too much and too little. Have you tried the pour over method? That way if you use more base liquid it doesn’t ripple or look thick? I shared more about it in a recent vid (I’ll link below in case) 🫶🏻

Yayyy!! So happy to hear this! 🥳🥳🥳
I love Azure! Nodding! Your nails are very swoon~arific!!! :) Have a great week!!!
Love this, Chels!! Make me want some rainbow sherbet. Going to get those liquids right now!
Ahhh that sounds scrumptious!! Let me know what you think of the liquids!!
Forever enabling us! So pretty!
😂🙌🏼 I will happily take the blame from all the spouses hahaha we’re a team here 👯♀️
Have you tried Head Kandy start kit and/or dip powders love to see it or hear your review!
I haven’t!! I need to check this out! Where did you hear about it? 💗
What size containers did you get? I received my kits and it is 0.33 oz or 10g i'm not sure if that is full size or not it seems a bit on the small side to me. However it did come with 20 color choices so maybe it will last a long time. Thank you.
That is the same size that I received 💕 thankfully with dip powder a little goes a loooong way! 🫶🏻
I”m first DIY dips and your video was so helpful thank you I have short nails and got some dip color on the top of my finger. What is the best way to get it off so I do not mess up my dip manicure? I also new subbie. I have struggle to find what is best for my nails. I do not like going to salons. TFS Awesome
Hi Martha!! Welcome to our little dip community!
So just so I’m understanding, you got some of the product on your skin and want to get it off without ruining your manicure on your nails?
Or are you asking how to remove the dip manicure on your nails? Just want to make sure I’m understanding 🥰💗
Oh yes sorry. I have very short nails and while doing my manicure I got bonding and dip powder on the top of my finger after dipping finger into powder. I do not want to mess up my manicure. What is the best way to get that off the top of my finger without messing up mani? Also what e-file would you recommended? You are right this is the best my nails have looked. I have tried everything too. New loyal follower. Blessing
Thank you so much. I purchased two other Azure beauty kits because of your review and extra liquid and brushes. They came in yesterday and I tried it out today. Being new at using dip powder the slower dry time was definitely for me! Very happy and pleased! Thanks again!
So so happy to hear this!! Happy dipping and cheers to many more beautiful manicures!! 🥰🥳
Azure dip liquids i love them only wish they had separate bottles so no cross contamination of base and top
They do sell liquids that are each separate 🙌🏼💕 here’s the link - amzlink.to/az0kBsLVdFxUZ
Ive been using their top coat over Triple vitamin liquids, for years. I havent tried the rest of the line. I never do a second l!yee of activator snd I never have a problem.
I actually haven’t tried triple vitamin yet! I’ve heard great things though 🙌🏼
Jus got smaller kit same brand hope its as good great job
Are the liquids better than modelones? How do they compare?
Ohhh that’s tricky!! It’s been so long since I’ve used modelones liquids like over a year. I only got to try modelones in the little travel sizes too so I don’t know if that’s a fair fight 😆 if I had to, I’d pick these 2 in 1 because it’s less products to take up space and full size. But if modelones has a 2 in 1 I’d totally try it!
@@SipAndDip thanks! I ordered the modelones one a few days ago and cant wait to try!
Hehe - every kit you like, I buy! Off to amazon now….
😆🙌🏼 can’t wait to hear what you think!! Always appreciate you sharing your feedback 🥰🥰
I love this review!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks Diane!! Happy Fri-YAY!! 🥳
Hey loves!! I am DYING to know… have you tried this brand or these liquids?! AND WHY HAVEN’T y’all told me about these liquids?! 🤣😆
Now im tempted to try it ❤
@@shairmainejoycecole9299 if you do please let me know what ya think! 💖
@@SipAndDip yes and thankyou❤
Oh no!! I’ve already bought the Beetles Kit and the Lavender Violets kit based on your video reviews! (Happy with both!) NOW I’ll have to buy this one too!!!! 💸💸💸 Well I best get to watching this so I can buy it!
(Blows beetles out of the water?!!!)
So excited! Mine is in the mail!
Yayyyy! You are going to love it! 🌷🙌🏼
Hey! I'm new to dipping. I have the beetles dip powder set. Is there a set/brand that you recommend? I'm not having any luck with the beetles dip powder set. It only lasts a day before it starts chipping.
So sorry to hear that! 💖 I love the beetles kit and this one featured in the video 🥰
Let’s see if we can figure out this chipping! Is it at the corners of your nails? How many dip powder layers are you doing? 💖
It's the corners and the tips that usually chip first. I usually do 2 layers of color and 1 layer of clear.
@@cynthiamcevoy8164 thanks for the info! 💖 I would maybe try adding another layer of dip powder! It could be that your nail shape and lifestyle needs a little extra strength. Other than making sure to really cap off the free edge with the top coat 🙌🏼 I had square nails for years so I definitely understand the struggle 😆 it’s one for the reasons I switched to round 🙈😆
@@SipAndDip ok I'll give that a try. I am a busy working mother of 5 so that could be it too lol. Thank you so much! I appreciate you!
I love using Azure Beauty almost 2 years now
Oh really?! You have been doing it right!! I can see why you love them so much!! 🙌🏼💗
Can i use this kit with paper forms? My nails are short and i want more length
I'm wondering why all the YT vids say to use clear dip but non of the techs in the salon have ever used it on my nails.
I haven't tried this brand yet, but I've heard good things. I could swear I heard this brand was linked to Modelones in a way, like maybe a sister brand?
Yes, I have heard the same! I really enjoyed Modelones liquids as well so that would make sense! I’ve never tried a 2 in 1 dip base + top coat before though 😍
I bought this! It’s really good!
Yesss! So glad you have tried it too! 🙌🏼💖
Amazon has the best deals!! Those liquids look amazing! 🤩 I'm just confused why the numbers are 0 and 3 😂😂
Ahhhhh I’ve never noticed that 🤣🤣🙈 usually it’s
1. PH prep
2. Base
3. Activator
4. Top coat
5. Brush saver
Soooo I have NO clue on the 0 and I’m dying laughing on how in the world did I not see that 🤣🤣🤣💀
How do you remove the dip powder with acetone?
Love your channel!
Thank you so much! 🫶🏻
It’s seem nice, I wondering how long it last, I saw some reviews they said it’s chipped off in 2 days
That’s a great question 💖 I have been doing dip nails at home for a few years and have tried lots of different brands, some good and some bad. From my own experience, I find that as long as you find a prep routine that works for your nail chemistry and lifestyle & have enough dip powder layers, the manicure will last. Chipping can occur from being really hard on your nails too. So usually if I hear someone’s having a chipping issue I suggest adding another layer of dip powder for strength. I also suggest to cap off the free edge really well with the base + top coat. Chipping typically happens at the corners of the nails so by adding a better seal at the free edge, it can help protect it longer 🥰 sometimes the fix to a manicure issue can be solved during application and prep 💖
@@SipAndDip omg 😳 thank you so much! I’m preparing to do my nails soon and your Channel very helpful 👏🏼👏🏼💜🖤
I have these liquids but I notice my top coat is sometimes dull. Do I need two coats of the top coat or…?
Hi Emily! The top coat does require 2 layers. So after the first layer, wait about a minute. Then apply the second! I find if you leave a little more on your brush it can give it a shinier more “gel” look! 💗
I just bought the beetles kit and it comes in today. 😭
You will love the Beetles! I know I did! 🙌🏼💖 if you decide to try out these liquids you can totally purchase them separately to use with the Beetles powder 😉 can’t wait to hear what ya think of the Beetles kit!
I bought this kit in a different color for Christmas and I still haven’t tried it yet but I think you have convinced me to do my nails this weekend lol.
Ahhhh yayyy!! Did it have the full set of travel liquids or was it the 2 in 1 base + top liquids? 🥰
@@SipAndDip yes it has the 2 in one base+top liquid!
@@avaa1217 yay! I’m even more excited then! 😆🙌🏼 can’t wait to hear what you think! 🥳
On Amazon they show that with their kits, you can do a shiny finish and a matte finish. How do you get a matte finish?
You have a few options for matte!
1. After the second activator step, just stop! That will leave a matte look
2. Finish the entire manicure. Then buff off the shine and apply another layer of activator. This will give more strength
3. Apply nail polish matte top coat on top
I hope this helps 💕💕
@@SipAndDip it def does thank you
Wait have they changed from doing two bottles? Didn’t realise this was an old video
They have a few options! One is a full line of traditional dip liquids (base, activator + top coat individual) and also the 2 in 1 base + top coat and activator as seen in the video 🩷🥰
