Don't do it. I got them in March. They aren't beginner friendly. They never dry under a 48 w uv led light. I wish I'd tried them earlier so that I could have returned them to Amazon

[@Nails_bysharon._]

I ordered these as soon as I saw your video! I’ve been using the base coat and top coat Gelish brand and I thought those were the best at some point because they were expensive, but OMG as soon as I tried the Beetles brand I noticed a massive difference!!! I love it so much! After three days the Gelish one makes my manicure so dull. Highly recommend the Beetles brand!

I am so happy you had the same experience I had in the shop. This brand is truly on point I’ve got some new stuff of theirs coming out a haul of some new products is getting posted soon and I will be doing first impressions and reviews next 🤗

I purchased their product based on Amazon reviews and I just tried it first time on my toes, I'm so glad it did well for a professional! I have been getting my toes done for about 2 years and I finally decided to take a dive and dyi it.. mostly because my last gel pedi popped off before I got home from the salon lol I figured if I invest $200 into the products I will still save a ton of $$$$ within first 6 months! Love your reviews, you aim for affordable products that are available for everyone and that's exactly what I need!

[@acshore83]

Great review! My concern is how it treats my natural nails. About two years ago I was gifted a set (dont remember the brand) that was purchased from Amazon, and it WRECKED my nails! It took nearly a year to regrow them and build their strength back up. I want to make sure before I purchase Beetles that it won't damage my natural nails that I have worked so diligently to rebuild their health.

[@Aprilann871]

I'm glad this worked pretty good because I just bought this brand plus colors an haven't used it yet. I love nail polish and have about 150 bottles in my bedroom plus pretty much everything else a professional shop would have. When I'm bored I do my nails or "play" with the practice hand. 😆 🤣 . When my son goes to sleep that's definitely what I do when I'm done cleaning up for the night. I have dips, gels and regular polish.

Right now I can't justify a whole new collection of gel polishes because I've got around 50 bottles of regular polish to use up first. My job as a grocery cashier is brutal on my manicures, so knowing that this is a good option with various brands of polish really helps. Thank you.

[@lexieduran3888]

Instant sub!! I used to do my own nails but stopped for a while, i recently decided to get back into it (because the salons just don't do it for me) I ordered most of my products from amazon but my tops coats and a few other things from somewhere else. I knew they were gonna take a while to get here and needed a quick polish that I could get here in a week because everything else came so quickly (praise amazon). This video was EXACTLY what I needed, extremely thorough and informative. My order was placed before I even made it to the end. Thank you so much for really dedication your time to real experiments you and your clients are top tier.

Really liking your reviews. I am a nail Technician as well and have been using a handful if these products you are reviewing. One video I would love to see is the removal process of Beetles products. I found that Beetles was a lot harder to remove than my go to Gelish; made it not so time efficient for my clients and I

[@TheNaturalNailGuru]

Hi!!! Yes it is definitely a little harder to soak off the only thing I recommend with soak off polishes that are a little tough is to make sure you file the top layer of gel very well get down to the color, but always be careful you don’t file down to the nail plate. When you were scraping off only scrape what is easy to takeoff if there is still product that’s a little thick file a little bit more re-saturate the Cotton with acetone and let it soak for another 3 to 5 minutes. A little more tedious but you definitely want to make sure you take your time to do it right so that you don’t damage the nail plate

[@TheNaturalNailGuru]

In many cases just filing the top layer very well makes it much easier to soak.

[@TheNaturalNailGuru]

By the time I finish getting to the last nail I start all over again from the beginning to finish scraping off what needed a little more time.

[@CeceandLilah]

i really like the colors that the Beetles Brand offer, but i also love the colors from the brand Gellen. im currently using the Gelish top and base coat. can you make a video for gellen vs gelish?

[@isabellavasquez6119]

I know this video is old, but I am new to the whole nail stuff like the acrylic and the gel polish and the first brand I bought was from Beetles. After the second time using it I noticed I got little bumps on my fingers, and my fingers were itchy. At first I thought maybe I wasn't cleaning my supplies but then I realized I would get an allergic reaction after the product touched my skin. I love the colors it has to offer so I just wanted to give this warning but I do think using the gel for designs won't give you allergic reactions. Also just be careful it doesn't touch your skin because Ive gotten the allergies many many times because I love this brand so much I can't stop using it and the allergies really suck😅

[@ginatolomei3866]

Omg thank you for this review shoot. This was amazing. i can't thank you enough!

[@GingerHoliday]

I loved beetle at first, and it’s my first experience with gel, but I get chips after one day. I am constantly washing my hands at work but idk, maybe I’m doing something wrong. I cure it for like 2 mins just in case. I do all the nail prep before I paint so yeah I just don’t know.

[@raquelpaul6087]

You may need to get a dehydrator and primer! The kit doesn’t come with one.

[@TheNaturalNailGuru]

Most of that has to do with the process. If the process of the manicure is on point almost any product will give you a good long lasting where. Sometimes the strength of the light can contribute to the issue as well. I gave a super thorough review on this product multiple clients trying it out and since then have had people purchase it and have great results there’s got to be something causing the problem that can be fixed but definitely make sure process is on point I’ll be touching up on this again really really soon!!

[@michelleslifeonrepeat]

Mine too, I use the dehydrator, and primer, base coat, color , top coat. I have the Beetles uv/led light. I use 120 seconds on each layer and yep, peels up and chips. I use my hands in water a lot.

[@nunya7366]

This was a great review! Thank you for the multiple comparisons on current different clients. I do have a couple questions though, as a new DIYer & 2 1/2 years late to this particular party. First, how long did you cure each layer? I know I probably don't have the same lamp, I'm just looking for a ball park. Second, I'm curious to know how quickly the chip or tip fail happened on the client's left index finger. As a retired army helicopter mechanic, details like this matter to my analytical mind. Did it fail tight away or did it take 12 days? Also was the cause of the failure an exceptional situation or just repeated action? Thank you for the very thorough thought process behind this video.

[@intika4530]

I ordered this after watching your video and I didn't like it at all. Doesn't fully cure and isn't a true no wipe top coat. It also isn't that shiny. That said, I find your videos very informative.

[@TheNaturalNailGuru]

I’m sorry you had that experience I Believe you’re the first person to comment that didn’t have a good experience with this brand . It’s possible the issue with curing is likely to do more with the light than anything else. You definitely want to make sure that you’re using a light with a higher wattage like 35 W. Lights that are lower than that tend to need more time to cure. This can also Be the reason why the topcoat feels weird. It’s possible or it’s possible that it’s a bad batch who 🤷🏻‍♀️but I definitely have had zero bad experience with this brand and over the last year since I initially tried it I’ve used it multiple times and my clients absolutely love it and notice zero difference. I am reviewing many more affordable brands available through Amazon hopefully one of them come through for you!

[@tamarahearn5201]

I noticed when I used beetles too coat that after a couple of uses, the product seemed to have some stringiness in it which would get in the clients nails, making it more difficult for a flawless look. Has anyone else had this issue, or maybe my bottle was just a bad one. It still works pretty good even so.

[@TheNaturalNailGuru]

Hey! I’m so sorry for my delay I’m so glad that I saw this. I didn’t have any issue when using the remainder of the base and topcoat that I bought for this review. However I have experience that issue with other brands. Not consistently. It could just be something in the brush or some thing that got into the bottle and contaminated it. I would definitely buy a second set of base and topcoat try it again and see whether or not you got the same issue. I hope this helps. And if I find any more information about this I’ll make sure to let you know 😉

I was actually quite disappointed with the beetles... literally 1 day later I'm having chips! I've never had that problem with gelish. I've tried a couple different times thinking it was a fluke, but sure enough... chipping within a day or two! Any tips that could be affecting this outcome? Using the ph bond from gelish, base coat, 2 coats of color and the top coat, and use cuticle oil afterwards...thanks!
