Honest NAILBOO Dip Powder Review 🤔 | Pumpkin Color Blocking Nail Tutorial at Home

[@kapeesh79]

Thank you for sharing this mani review and your honesty! That’s why I love following you! You’d never steer your followers wrong!

[@CapMIam]

Thank you for the review and staying true to your opinions. If a nail guru with 5 yrs experience is struggling, there’s little hope for a novice. I hope Nail Boo appreciated the feedback and made the appropriate improvements.

[@debbiemiller589]

Thanks for an honest review. That's what makes your videos worthwhile.

[@alleluiaisoursong]

My 7 yr old was watching the tutorial (I had my AirPods on) and she noticed the stringiness rt away! She knows what’s up haha. Appreciate your honesty, girl!

[@CaroleAnnette]

That’s a smart girl! 🙌

[@ErikaTheChaosManagerx4]

I really appreciate the honesty! Good, bad, or ugly, I want to know it all. Thank you.

[@CaroleAnnette]

Thank you!💓

[@rachelcase9900]

I GASPED when I saw you apply the base! 😂 I have never seen a base that stringy! Thank you so much for an honest review! They are just as important as the positive ones when considering buying something and just one more reason to watch your channel! 🥰💜

[@CaroleAnnette]

Thank you! 🥰 🙏🏻

[@taraantonuccio4520]

Hi! Nailboo reached out to me as well. I did a reel for them and received the same kit, although I chose different colors. I had the same EXACT issue with the base and topcoat bottles. They were very hard to pull the brushes out! The activator seemed to work fine though. Thanks for this! Good to know I'm not the only one with these liquid issues.

[@CaroleAnnette]

😢🥺 ugh!! A few others I know have as well! This sucks 😩😩

Thank you for your HONEST review! It’s creators/influencers like you, those who have product promo integrity, that make me follow and refer others to. Thank you

[@jocelynrodriguez4749]

Always happy for an honest review!

[@Ms2unique4u]

Yet another reason why I love your channel….the honesty is real!! Nailboo is definitely not a boo, a friend, or anything else to the dip community 😂. I can’t believe a company would reach out to you and from reading other comments here, others and ask for their products to be reviewed on YT….blows my mind 🤯. When I saw you first pull the brush out, (the struggle was real) and saw how stringy they were….I 😱 gasped!! I will give you major credit for continuing on for as long as you did with their liquids and was amazed that the 🎃 nail came out so cute despite the liquids….oh, about that clear 😂😂 it definitely needs a name change….that was just sad!! Anyway, thanks so much for this video, I had a good laugh at the liquids, the pink powder looked amazing on you, so that was one positive thing about the company I guess. PS…. I hope my comment doesn’t disappear….when will YT stop blaming this problem on customers having inappropriate comments and admit that it’s an issue on their side, UGH!!

[@CaroleAnnette]

I can see your comment 🙌 You hit the nail on the head on everything! I do feel based on this one experience, they have a lot of room to grow, if they want to make it big next to their competitors. 🥳

So glad I found your review. I had an awful experience with Dip and won't buy this brand. Polygel looks fun tho! Subbed, thank you!

I have been seeing all the ads online for Nailboo and was going to buy the system with their Labor Day sale. So happy I did a little research first and came across your video!! I have never done my nails myself and would have been super frustrated!!! THANK YOU for your honest review, can’t believe some of these celebs associate themselves with brands they clearly have never used.

[@CaroleAnnette]

Yep 👀 I’ve seen those Paris Hilton ads everywhere!

[@KaylasNailJournal]

LOVE an honest review. So glad you decided to upload it. Their packaging is amazing but my goodness. I truly hope those liquids was either a bad batch .. or... they take this as constructive criticism and change their liquids & bottles.

[@CaroleAnnette]

Yeah, the brush at the very least needs to be reconsidered. Even if the liquids were better, it makes the process sooo frustrating.

[@tammyslatten]

Cute mani. I had been seeing ads for nailboo want wondered about them. Thank you for always being honest about a product. Thank you Much 💜

Cute, easy pumpkin! Appreciate the honest review.

[@courtenayskipsey4977]

Good review. Is there other similar kits that have more consistent easier to use liquids?

[@CaroleAnnette]

Hi Courtenay! There is a starter kit by Revel Nail that is incredibly affordable that I highly recommend. It has everything you need from prep to removal at a great price. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKnVp4iwi6ennZI Their liquids are not my favorite, so I do recommend ManiBoss or Triple D liquids instead. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3qpm353jdJnZ9U Altogether, you’ll pay about $75ish for liquids from either of those brands and that starter kit. That would be my best recommendation.

Thank you so much for the honest review. I saw an ad for Nailboo and thought “oh how fun for my daughter and I let me look at some reviews before I buy though.” Glad I found you. I’ve never done dip nails but I definitely won’t be choosing those liquids. I was frustrated for you watching you try to get it outta the bottle and I don’t want that stringy lumpy first bottle all over the place.

[@ginap7992]

Girl! I have fallen into dip powder by falling into the nailboo marketing which has thankfully led me to your videos BUT I did my first dip mani this weekend and it was terrible, I attributed it to being a beginner but I'm so relieved to see you had the same issues with the nailboo liquids and their bumpy/lumpy results. I immediately bought 2 separate liquids systems and can't wait for them to get here so I can restart my dip powder beginner's experience this weekend!

[@CaroleAnnette]

I’m so glad you got new liquids! I hope they really make a difference in your next mani 💖

[@ginap7992]

@Carole Annette thank you! And thank you for your videos I've literally taken notes! Can you imagine nailboo being your first experience? Such a bummer, if it weren't for your videos I wouldn't have had any hope!

Cute mani! TY for your honesty and I agree 100% with not all liquids are the same.

I wanted to order from mailbox but thinking not so much those bottles and ligqids look frustrating and for the price it doesn’t look worth it! Thanks for your honesty!

[@sams2946]

I started doing my nails with Nail Boo. My liquids weren't like that. But they are normally thick. I switched out liquids for Mani Boss'. I like the amount & feel of the powders though.

[@CaroleAnnette]

🙌 ManiBoss liquids are incredible!

[@lissiP1209]

I appreciate this review and your honest opinion on this brand. I personally didn't try this brand. In the end... Your mani came out nice. The color looks good on your skin tone. Thank you for sharing!

[@CaroleAnnette]

Thank you! It’s so funny because while the process felt frustrating and crappy, I’m very happy with how this mani turned out. 💖

[@n27a97]

Thank you for the video, i had the same problem, the liquid really clumps and the bottle neck does not help at all, my brushes would get stuck and on top of that my bottle handles would come off the brush stick. 😩 If it wasn't for these two major issues it would be a great product for the price.

[@CaroleAnnette]

Oh man 😭🥺 it definitely shows this wasn’t a fluke accident

[@irynaz3411]

I greatly appreciate your review! I would like to start doing dip nails at home. Should I get the double d and nailboo dip, or is there a better combination of products/brands not shown in the video? Also, how long did these nails last (w/ double d)? And the removal process?

Hi Carole, you were talking about something you put on your nails so it’s easier to remove product. Did I misunderstand that? How do you remove the dip product so you can redo your mani quicker? I hate having to wait to try something new!! Any suggestions?

I'm behind the times and did NO research when I bought my first kit - Nailboo, in 6/22. The liquids were not at all stringy, but I found them a bit thick. Thanks for recommendations on other liquids to try!

[@CaroleAnnette]

Anytime!! I’ve been sent newer liquids from them, and the bottles have improved and the liquids are like you mentioned, not stringy (but not my favorite)

[@hellonails414]

I’m so glad you did this review for us!!! Thanks for your honesty!! Xoxoxo 👑💛

[@lorijean1487]

A few things, thanks for your honest review of Nailboo. I ordered this kit back in August and have not used it yet. The activator bottle leaked and was empty upon arrival! They said they'd mail me a new one and the cuticle tool which I never received. Didn't ever receive these replacement items. After many emails, they said they'd refund part of my payment, which they did. I still can't use the kit because I have no activator and it is not available for a single purchase. Do you have a favorite dip powder? I will be buying your peel off base and the activator/top coat set you used.

[@CaroleAnnette]

Do you have dip liquids from other brands by any chance? If so, perhaps you can use those with their powders (I think it worked out better for me this way) But that is such a frustrating experience 😭😩 I love buying from quite a few brands: - Sol Dips - Mani Boss - Triple D - Kimberz Kreations - CN Designer Dips If you want larger sizes, these brands only sell small jars. Companies like Revel Nail will be a better option if you want jars as large as NailBoo.

[@lorijean1487]

@@CaroleAnnette thanks for the reply! I did buy the Revel activator. I will buy your Triple D liquids. With the peel off base you use, there is no soaking of nails to get the dip off? Does it cure under an LED light? Any damage to your nails?

[@CaroleAnnette]

Correct, no soaking off required for the peel base and no type of lamp needed. It air dries. I don’t experience damage because I don’t use it on my natural nail. I know others who have success using peel base on their natural nail with no damage, but it scares me to try.

[@lorijean1487]

@@CaroleAnnette I would use it on my natural nails. What do you use it on?

[@CaroleAnnette]

I use it over a thin layer of builder gel.

[@koolmoedeesimpson3905]

So Nail Boo liquids = no go, but powders are fine? Good to know. I’ve been curious about Nail Boo for a while, I’ll pick up some powders but avoid their liquids. Awesome review and cute mani!

[@CaroleAnnette]

In my opinion, yes. The powders worked great (probably skip on the clear since it’s not the clearest).

[@sarahnicole4223]

I appreciate this review so much. I am new to dipping, never did it. I don't want something that will get me frustrated. This is something I do for anxiety too so I want it to be a good experience. Any recommendations for me? I was interested in Nailboo specifically because it was a kit so if there are other kits you could recommend. I find that Nailboo is not cheap, especially compared to other brands I have looked at. It's not the money I'm concerned about though if it is worth it/ good quality and user friendly.

[@CaroleAnnette]

I think the $45 essentials starter kit from Revel Nail is a great value for what you get. www.revelnail.com/collections/kits/products/dip-powder-starter-kit I have a whole video breaking it down - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKnVp4iwi6ennZI

[@CaroleAnnette]

I personally don’t use the Revel Nail liquids on my nails (just for swatching) so I would recommend getting dip liquids from ManiBoss (I like Triple D too but their website is closed until Sunday) manibossdippowder.com/collections/liquids-and-mani-essentials

[@melsmel0119]

Thank you!!!

[@knjscorpio]

NailBoo was my first dip powders and I agree with everything you said! The liquids were not great and they made me very frustrated when I first started and made me look into the KZbin dip powder world (and down the rabbit hole). However, I love the powders. And you get a new set of liquids and tools with every order. I use the liquids to do swatches now.

[@CaroleAnnette]

Do you struggle with the brush coming out of the bottle as well? I considered using them as swatching liquids as well, but I’m not sure I’d have the patience. My friend told me to remove the clear insert inside the bottle to make it easy to use. I may try that.

[@knjscorpio]

@@CaroleAnnette I do not. My bottles do not seem to have that problem. They come out fine. They do gum up around the rims, though!

[@dianehedricks7860]

I’m not sure a bottle opening would affect the stringy base? I hope they work on that! Beautiful colors!

Thank you for that review! I almost purchased nailboo and Sooo glad I didn't! Well not the liquids anyway! I love the color of the pink though, its so pretty! Maybe I'll go for the powders. Thanks again!

[@CaroleAnnette]

Definitely checkout their Instagram for real life photos of the colors worn on manis. The right hand tab of their IG page is photos from customers/influencers where the brand is tagged. I didn’t like their website swatches so that may be the best place to see real life photos of the colors.

[@bellababooska4181]

I wanted to try this product and found your review and some reviews on Amazon Everyone struggled with the liquid. I also saw a lot of issues with their tools. I noticed you using your own tools. So really you pay 150 dollars for the powder and a name. Glad I found you thank you so much for your honest review.

[@CaroleAnnette]

Absolutely!! Yes! The cuticle pusher and big a*** file leave SO MUCH to be desired. They recently sent me a new set of liquids (last week) and they have changed the bottles, but not the formula. The bottles are much easier to use now than they were in this video.

[@sirensesii]

Yeah the ONLY thing I would say is that the base powder is meant to be applied to every nail before you so the color dip so it makes them a bit brighter and even on your nails. But this was a great review! Thank you

Thank you soooo much for this video. Me and my daughter were going to get this then seen this video. I feel you saved us..lol Can yoi recommend a dip that we can use but with out having to use a light to cure please and thank you

[@lizcolombia57]

The directions which are to be actually read and followed by the consumer instruct thin layers and to repeat as/or if needed. This instruction has interface with the chemical reaction. You were heavily laying this on. Other factors are subjective. My experience was great and I have watched countless other Nailboo review videos with nothing condescending stated or concluded. There is a difference between an honest review and an unfair, misleading & ill-advised review. This is truly a great product that I want to locate, use and see long-term.

[@CaroleAnnette]

I tried to do thin layers, but the liquids were thick in comparison to their competitors. Not to mention how difficult it was to get the brush out of the bottle. But NailBoo loved this video and review and even contacted me about it 💓 they recently re-did their bottle design as well and the new bottles are so much easier to use! They sent me a bunch of new things and I have a couple new videos using their new bottles coming in the next few weeks 💓 By any chance did you use their new bottles? Maybe that’s why your experience was better than mine and many others in the comments.

[@fleurmal7648]

Oh no. Your's is the first review I've seen dissing the liquids and I just made my first order 😅 hopefully they've improved or yours really was a bad batch. Thanks for the video! The color block was so cute~

Thank you! I have some updated reviews - since this video they have improved the bottles making them so much easier to use 🙌

[@rhondamerritt3126]

I bought the same kit, paid over a 100 bucks, the problem I had was the top wasn't connected with the brush, had to twist or pull the brush out and screw to the top, the liquid was ok though, it takes practice..

[@kathyl4692]

This was my first brand I tried. These are also my least favorite liquids as well. Mine were not stringy or hard to pull out but the scent was overwhelming and the bottles seal closed very easily. The powders are nice but very hard to see true colors on the site. And btw, the reel you did was great. Didn’t notice the struggle at all but I can,e here to see the full review.

Ugh, I hate when bottles get sealed shut. So difficult to open them back up.

Perhaps! Any new bottle I’ve received since this video is no longer stringy.

[@Petula1968]

I had the same trouble with the base coat. Four fingernails into my manicure and I couldn't get the brush to stay in the cap. I had to use the brush without the cap to finish, which - of course - you know made somewhat of a mess. So, between trying to keep the stuff off of my fingers and get it done neatly I am extremely disappointed. And this was my first time using any dip kit. Very annoyed right now. I can't decide if I want to finish my nails or take it all of and just use Sally Hansen Quick Dry. SMH

[@CaroleAnnette]

That is soo frustrating! 🥺🥺 There’s definitely better liquid systems out there. Sally Beauty even sells a brand of dip liquids in store. (ASP brand)

[@elizabethfisher3806]

It getting stuck halfway through is beyond frustrating especially if you need double dip to get more liquid on the same nail!

[@CaroleAnnette]

Yep 😅😅😅 that fueled my frustration

[@nwilliams317]

So how long does this process *IRT* actually take for a beginner, someone who has never attempted this before - just a straight color? Because this is a 19.5 min video, with quite a bit of video magic (elapsed time editing). It seems to me that this would take me about 2 hours to complete and it would still look like a train wreck. I don't have 2 hrs to devote to this. I dot hit the Salon, but it turns out to be once a month - and that's pretty much the only me time I get. That takes me 45 min for a gel, french manicure.

[@CaroleAnnette]

It takes me 35-45 mins per hand, for reference. That’s just one color, nothing fancy, and with practice.
