HONEST Nailboo dip powder kit review (HIT or MISS)

[@SipAndDip]

Have you tried out Nailboo 🧐 what was your experience?

[@iamatitle5031]

So far the liquids are the only brand I’ve had lifting issues with, doesn’t hold up to the “mom test” only lasts about a week for me.

[@SipAndDip]

@@iamatitle5031 ohhh that’s interesting!!! And this is with no change in prep for other brand liquids?

[@ZHab336]

The only issue I’ve had is the brush on top coat turning hard, o will do the napkin thing to see if it helps.

[@DeborahLaneMaine]

I received my beginner kit on Friday. It was missing the cuticle pusher and the wooden pick you showed. Other than that, I did my very first set yesterday apparently made an error or two but they still look awesome! can't wait to do it the right way! hahahahaha

[@iamatitle5031]

@@SipAndDip Exactly the same prep and daily activities. Something about the formula just doesn’t work as well for me as the Red Carpet Color Dip, Azure Beauty or OPI which all last 2-3 weeks or more. Disappointing given its easy availability in local beauty supply stores.

[@caressen.4186]

This is one of the best products reviews ive come across on KZbin. I love how you broke down the price/value and your honest experience.

[@SipAndDip]

💕 thank you for the kind feedback! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@nancymartin462]

I bought nailboo for a Christmas present for myself last year… I was not impressed! Definitely had all the issues mentioned in your video! However, I just purchased new liquids like the ones that you use in your video & I love them!! Nailboo has definitely made improvements & I’m here for them😉💅🏻

[@SipAndDip]

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences!! This is exactly what I was wondering might have happened with others. It sounds like those previous liquids were super hard to work with and contaminated easily. I’m happy to hear that you can confirm that the new liquids are easier to use 🙌🏼💕 thanks so much for sharing your feedback! I’m sure this will be really helpful for others!

[@rushmakhatrisubedi207]

The product didn’t last me for a month. The cap started breaking on me

[@elizabethvallely4044]

I just brought nailboo and try it they turn out really good, like you was surprise how good they turn out! Thank you for sharing your experience your nails where beautiful!!!

[@audreyream8417]

I bought the kit a few years ago with the old formula and had never done dip before! Definitely felt like it was a learning curve and after trying it a few more times I noticed the product wasn’t exactly what I thought was advertised… but then I did order some more colors recently and got the new formula liquids and my suspicions were correct! The old ones were just not great but my nails and the new colors worked and looked much better!!! I’m excited for more practice so each manicure will look better and better!

[@SipAndDip]

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! It sounds like many have also had the same thoughts on the advertisement + new liquids. So glad you didn’t throw in the towel and kept dipping! 🫶🏻💖

[@user-ch3eo4sp3s]

Thank you for your tutorial. First time trying Nailboo. I got the starter kit with Date Night from Sally’s and purchased New Blush color powder with it. It took an hour for me. $32 and one hour of time at home for dipped nails compared to driving to the next town over with an appointment and still having to wait, $55 and two hours later.

[@SipAndDip]

Yayyyy! That’s awesome! 1 hour is sooo quick for your first time!

[@savannahjimenez3224]

Great review!! Love the honesty. Definitely wanna give this product a try!

[@janelledudley3065]

I love my nailboo kit, but it’s the only brand I’ve tried, so I’m glad to know it passes your test! They do also have sales quite frequently on the powder, so I don’t feel like it’s a bad deal even though I’m getting more than I need. And yes, we all know Paris isn’t doing her nails at home. 😂

[@SipAndDip]

Yesss! The deals are great! Plus all of the freebies! It’s honestly not a bad deal 🙌🏼 I was sticker shocked at first but after breaking it all down piece by piece I felt a lot better. I can’t even imagine how much she makes off of these ads 🤯

[@mandijones4995]

I'm new to dip powder. Have you tried it with regular nail polish (no dip nail polish)? I have some beautiful Indie polishes I want to use. If so, did it work well?

[@brendabrown5530]

I have seen , so many ads and different names of products for the dip nail polish I didn't know which one to try. Now watching you , with Nailboo , I think I will try that brand first, you made it, look so 😍😍😍. Thanks.

[@SipAndDip]

Can’t wait to hear what you think! 🫶🏻💕

[@jessicaayers5940]

I’ve seen so many ads for nailboo, and honestly their ads make me skeptical. They make it seem like you can get a salon qualify manicure quickly, but we all know it’s a hour minimum if your quick to get a full dip mani done start to finish, and i see from your video it’s at least 15 min of dry time with activator and top coat! It feels misleading to me, like just be honest about time length is all I’m saying 🤷🏼‍♀️. I hadn’t seen a celeb do an ad for them, but that would make me even more skeptical. But I am glad that their products are actually quality!

[@SipAndDip]

So much yes to all of this!! I had the same thoughts! 💯 I’ve been seeing Paris Hilton ads and Brittany Aldean now 😆 especially now since I actually made a purchase 😮‍💨

[@rushmakhatrisubedi207]

I literally am about to ship back their products. Their liquids cap broke on me within like first week and they were only replacing one liquid for me and they’re anted me to buy another one. The quality is honestly very very very disappointing. Plus they deleted my review on Instagram. So I know for fact the most of the reviews are not genuine.

I thought you only needed to apply powder one time. But you kept dipping

[@ginabarber6719]

As a newbie to nail dip, I bought a smaller(less expensive) Nailboo starter kit from Amazon. The product sizes were smaller but it was enough for me to try a few times and realize how easy it was.

[@moonvioletkel]

Thank you for your Amazon product recommendations and helpful tips on this video! Your instructions were much better than the ones that came with the product. I didn’t know to wait until the nail dried before using the brush and had no idea what the build powder was for. The toothpick is so smart too! I had a faulty bottle with the topcoat (cap detached from the brush) and notified the company and they sent me a new bottle immediately so I was very impressed with their customer service. Thanks again for your great video and tips overall! 😊

[@FOODREVOLUTION360]

They look really good. The UV you have to use for gel nails really broke my nails down last summer so I’ve been eyeing these powders for years but they sounded too good to be true but I trust this review and I’m gonna try it out this summer.

So sorry to hear about your nails 🥺🫶🏻 can’t wait to hear what you think of dip powder! I’m here if you need any help 💗💗💗

GREAT review! Thank you for the honesty ❤ I wonder if the "easily contaminated" complaints came because people weren't using those little helpful tips such as wiping the brush off between applications, etc.

@@CherieKing ahhhh noooo! I have seen some awful reviews about that brand too!

[@flohollingsworth7226]

Chelsea, I tried Nailboo's base and activator liquids, too. Overall, I liked them, I get less flooding with them that I do with other brands, and my layers end up being thinner, which I like, making for a more natural-looking manicure! It took me a while to get used to be patient with the dry time, which, is loooonnnngggggg... just patience, breathe, let it go... ;) Also, I used MiaSecret clear to clear cap after my color, and I noticed that white ring, like you did!! I'm happy to say that they came out great, I didn't get any cloudiness/bubbles (just llike you). So, seeing your video makes me think the "white ring" on clear powder with these liquids is simply an aspect or characteristic of the product. I'm glad to know that doesn't appear to be user error! 😃

[@SipAndDip]

Ahhh this is SO good to know!! I had never seen that dark of a white for clear and totally scared me at first 😆 thank you for sharing your experiences!! I know others will see your comment and appreciate you sharing too 🙌🏼💕

Honestly I didn’t know anything about any nail boo complaints. I’m new to dipping thanks to you❤ and I just switched to all of their liquids because the ones I had weren’t working for me. This last set I did with all nail boo liquids ROCK. I don’t have their colors but this is the best set I’ve done so far. Just the liquids.

I bought my nailboo last year and I love it!! I haven’t had any of the problems people are talking about. I was thinking about buying cheaper powders on Amazon and was wondering if they would be compatible with the nailboo and you explained it very well. I have always done my own nails and I love how easy this is. Also, you commented on how you didn’t think Paris used the product. I was under the impression that she owns the nailboo company 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@SipAndDip]

So glad you’re enjoying their products! I can see why you like them 🫶🏻 you can totally mix and match! Amazon has lots of great, inexpensive dip powders. Here’s what I found on Nailboo ownership “Nailboo is a flagship brand for Underlining, a beauty and wellness company based out of Miami”. So they pay Paris for ads along with Brittany Aldean and other celebrities.

Clear is meant for encapsulating glitter, it will usually look murky on top of a solid color. Better to start with clear to prevent staining your nails.

I love this kit! I used the build powder 1st b4 the color which is the order provided in the instructions.

[@eringwynn9075]

Ok another question… sorry 😆 I’m newer to dipping, your tutorials have saved me!! Thank you thank you! Is the the build dip powder a necessary step? Can it be skipped?

[@SipAndDip]

No worries at all love 🫶🏻 so in my opinion, build powder (clear) on top of glitters shouldn’t be skipped. If you try to file/buff on glitter/shimmer dip powders then it will take off the color and turn the glitters silver. Could you skip clear on top of solids… the answer would be sometimes! Sometimes it doesn’t affect the color when you shape and other times it will be cloudy and remove color. Darker colors, neons and pastels are notorious for clouding if you don’t use clear. I’ve been burned one too many times by skipping clear on a solid color and it being ruined after buffing. So now I do it just to save on heartache 😆 please let me know if that helps or if I missed anything 🫶🏻

This was the first dip nail diy kit I got. I loved them. The only issue I have is that I can’t seem to get them to last 2-3 weeks like they advertise. The only way I can get them to last is to use gel top coat. Same for any brand. I love your tutorials and have purchased a lot of the brands you have recommended. Thank you for your candor but I am a huge nailboo fan lol. I have all of their dip colors. I did not and will not do the gels or the polish. Just cause I have so much now lol. I do have their press ons and their tips love them all. Great quality in my opinion

I totally agree about the quality! I can see why you enjoy them!! What’s going on with your dip top coat? Is it cracking? Let’s see if we can figure this out! 💕💕

I love the glitter and the finished gleaming shine. I'm curious as to the use of 2 layers of top coat. I thought I read one layer, so did one layer. I had a ruff time getting this material off-NO soaking for me. I use French Tips and cut them down a lot. So in the process of my first removal, have lost my natural nail tip underneath. I will try growing my nails out agan under the tips and soaking with acetone next time. This is my first time with any of the powders, and I did use clear and white for my French tips with NailBoo.

[@SipAndDip]

Ohhhh wow that’s interesting on the top coat! I just went to their site and you’re right 🤯 the site only says 1 coat. As you can see my muscle memory took over 😆 I have only seen a top coat allow for 1 layer, 1 other time and that was for an odorless top coat. But thank you for bringing that to my attention!

I noticed in their instructions they tell users to wash hands between activators, just as many salons do. I wasn't using Nailboo, but have done that on occasion and top coats don't seal well if there is any moisture in the nails.

I too was intimidated by the price so I waited. Then I walked into my local Sally’s beauty supply and there it was ! A less expensive small starter kit.

It stays on for a long time and I love all the colors at Sally’s now stocks.

[@jomayrabelmonte9544]

Great video. You make it look so easy. Is there a reason why you did the build step last and not first?

[@SipAndDip]

It’s personal preference and varies for each person on how much strength (layers) they need 💕 so someone with long nails, hard on their hands, prone to cracking + chipping would probably want to build up an apex UNDER the color first with the clear. I try to keep it straightforward and quick for the sake of content/time and just like to encapsulate the colors to protect them when filing and shaping 🥰 but there’s no wrong answer! Whatever works best for your nail length and lifestyle is best 🙌🏼

I'm waiting on nail boo, but revel is no good 😕 they took forever for shipping 😩, then they delivered to the wrong place and blamed me when my screen shot was my address after filling order. Lady wanted me to file a police report for theft saying they did deliver here but I was home waiting and Noone ever came. I explained I wouldn't be going to the cops for something that was never delivered she said she wouldn't be sending me another without it I told her to refund my money and she said she would just resend. Which she did after being asked not to. When I finally got it it was crap. I've used other dip systems and didn't have any issues with bunching powder etc but I did with revel. I'd apply and when I dipped it would be chunky and I didn't put too much of the gel etc nomatter what I did they chucked. Now I've used the powders since with other liquids and it was okay not the best

sounds like you've tired a lot of dip powder brands? Which one do you think is the best quality, regardless of price?

[@SipAndDip]

Ohhh that’s a tricky one 🙈😆 I love so many for different reasons and designs. Currently I have been gravitating to my revel liquids and Color my world’s odorless liquids. It comes down to so much personal preference too. Depending on if you like thin or thick, slow drying or faster drying, etc. When I first started I enjoyed thinner liquids and slow dry time. It works great for designs like ombré and French. But over time as I got more comfortable I’ve been enjoying faster drying liquids. It definitely takes trying out a few brands and types to see what you like 🥰

I love nailboo. My favorite!

[@southtownservices]

I recently got a kit and it said to use the build powder first!! Im confused!

[@SipAndDip]

In my opinion, it’s optional. Some do it to prevent staining of the natural nail or to add more strength. However, in all the years I’ve done my dip nails I’ve only had my nails get stained from a bad quality orange and black. As for adding clear as a base for strength, that will vary on your nail length, shape and lifestyle. So I don’t think everyone always needs it 💕 if you feel your nails look too bulky then I’d skip it. But if you want to build up an apex for strength then I totally agree 🫶🏻

[@kdee15]

What would your thoughts be on buying the Nailboo liquids and Revel .5 oz jars? Can mixing brands work?

I'm just curious... Do you have to "file, shape & buff" or can you activate and to coat without that step?

[@SipAndDip]

I would suggest to still file, shape and buff because it may be bumpy and have a rough free edge. Even a small little touch up can help 🫶🏻

Can you use a nail lamp with nailboo? I am not patient so waiting 5 minutes will get on my nerves. Also, is the builder powder necessary?

[@SipAndDip]

Dip powder liquids are air dry only so unfortunately a gel lamp won’t change the liquids. However, if you wanted to use gel base or gel top coat with the dip powder then you could use a lamp! The build powder will vary for each person. If they need extra strength due to their nail length, shape or lifestyle, then they’d want to build an apex. I add clear on top off all of my color and glitters though!

[@sharonryan437]

I have the $95 kit. I’ve just tried it once…I have issues and questions! I used the base coat and then the clear powder. Wow, I had a mess! I had big lumps that wouldn’t go away!! I proceeded, and when I got to the activator, it was not a full bottle (which they are sending me a new one. All else went fine but I have lumpy, bumpy nails 😢. I’m leaving it on to see how long it’ll last. Question: why use the white powder at all?

[@SipAndDip]

Hey there! 🫶🏻 sorry to hear you had some trouble! So you did a layer of clear for the first dip? That is optional (in my opinion). The first layer of clear can be for several reasons. Some I’ve heard do this because they’re worried about staining. In 5+ years of dipping, I’ve only had 2 colors slightly stain my nails. That was a poor quality black and jelly orange. I personally like to use clear to build up an apex. So if you need more strength (experience cracking and chipping or have long nails) then an apex is a great solution. If you have flat nails you may also want an apex. Most of the time, for times sake, I usually do 2 dips of color and 1 dip of clear. But in the video I shared today, I did do 1 small strip of clear down the center of my nail so they aren’t too flat with this length/shape. I do have a video that goes more into depth on how to not have lumpy or thick nails if you want to check it out 🫶🏻 I would suggest trying the pour over method as well. It can help with it not being bulky. Please let me know if I understood your question or if I can help 🥰 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWjPmIOto5qBg6s

I love my kit. No issues with shimmer. The colors are quite lovely. Honestly no complaints. As long as nails are prepped properly I have zero issues. I don’t get the complaints. I keep wondering if they are talking about Nailboo or something else. I have the revamped kit. Not the old.

[@Mateiafire]

When you wipe off the brushes, do you use any cleaners or just simply wipe them off?

[@SipAndDip]

Just wiping them off on a napkin or paper towel 🫶🏻 no cleaners

[@eringwynn9075]

I’m the beginning you mentioned the paper towel after each time the brush touches your nail…. Do you wipe it off after each nail?

[@SipAndDip]

Yep exactly! So when the base and top coat touches the nail, I wipe it off on a napkin, before returning it to the bottle to get more product 🫶🏻

[@rwanvelazquez4321]

How was the longevity? I’ve only used nail boo dip but I experienced quick fry time with the base so I have been using a different base. I don’t know if I haven’t perfected my technique but I wonder if other brands would produce longer results.

[@SipAndDip]

I wear peel base so that I can keep up with filming so my sets pop off in around 1-3 days. I find for longevity that it usually comes down to prep and having enough strength (layers). So if there is lifting, then that’s usually due to prep. But if there is cracking/chipping then that can be corrected by adding more layers or building up an apex. Hope this helps 🫶🏻

[@carolwuneburger6985]

I have a question I have the kit I'm confused at what point do you buff your nails to get the smooth feel and high bumps is it right after you apply harder or after you dip in color

[@SipAndDip]

Hiii! 🫶🏻 we file/buff the nail smooth after applying the activator. So once you’re done dipping, apply the activator and wait 2 min for it to harden. Then file/buff. Then activator again and wait 2 min. Then top coat twice 💖

[@Lanybananey]

When you need a fill can you just use the powder for the top and dip again or do you need to take it all off and start from scratch?

[@SipAndDip]

For a fill, I would suggest filing down the top coat and checking for any lifting. It’s totally up to you on if you’d rather soak off or do fills. When doing a fill I would suggest planning your manis to be lighter and go darker and darker for each fill. Or even just doing the exact same color for the fill. After you file off the top coat then you would prep as normal. So push back cuticles, prep the exposed natural nail plate, and all of those steps. I hope this helps 🫶🏻💕

[@paigechebny2967]

I’ve been having a hard time finding good dip liquids. Do you have a favorite??

[@berthamagallon3459]

Awesome video, I've never tried Nailboo. 😊

[@SipAndDip]

Thanks for watching! 💕💕💕

[@risspx]

How is it taking it off? Is it easy or like taking off acrylic?

[@SipAndDip]

I have a removal vid on how I do a soak off. Usually takes me less than 10 min 🥰 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZnFhXSViJJqmLs

[@Luke747gal]

Good advice that you don't really need 1 oz jars. I have a huge collection because I prefer variety in smaller jars.

[@SipAndDip]

Yesss same!! Especially those .25 oz jars 🙌🏼 I love those ones!

[@SharonRepici]

Me too! I love having at least one accent nail and frequently mix my main color powder with a glitter and always have a little extra I hate tossing out.

[@Freeeleee]

Can you do a video on how to remove the nailboo? Plz n thx

[@SipAndDip]

Here’s a link to my removal method 💕 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZnFhXSViJJqmLssi=o5qeA8rWvP5dnIE9

[@zoecheney1364]
