AZUREBEAUTY 18ml Galaxy Blue Purple Nail Polish

I have searched and searched and SEARCHED for the perfect neutral polish for going on 3 years now and have FINALLY FOUND THE ONE!🙌🏼 This polish truly checks all my boxes and I am genuinely so impressed. I have already recommended to all my friends and family! Here’s everything I love about it: - Easy to paint (great brush and handle) - Not streaky (like many other light polishes) - Fast drying (unlike so many light polishes) this was dry in minutes which is a must for me with little kids in my house that I constantly have to tend to - LONG LASTING! (I’m currently on day 8 without a SINGLE chip and I have had my hands in water a ton since I am a baker) I think it’s important to note that my pressed my nails very well my cleaning up my cuticles, giving the tops of my nails a light filing and finishes with my favorite top coat! I did not use a base coat. See all images for details! This is NOT A PAID REVIEW, just my honest feedback on a product I now LOVE!😍

I don’t usually write reviews, but I HAD to write one for this product! I originally bought it because I had been growing out my natural nails in preparation for a vacation & I wanted something to protect them from breaking while in the ocean/pool. I am fairly good at doing my own nails, & I’ve tried many different products over the years. I’d never tried dip, and honestly I was so skeptical about trying this. (Especially since some of the reviews said they didn’t get the full kit, they still needed a UV light, etc.) Just to clarify, I ordered the 20-color Dip Starter Kit (picture included of everything that was in the box). The directions that are included are simple and accurate. However, I do have a few tips based on my experience to help the dip last longer: to prep your nails, push your cuticles back & ALSO make sure to gently rough up the surface of your nail with a buffing block before starting the process. Get close to your cuticle and the edges of your nail, as this will help prevent the dip from lifting off of your nail. Then wipe with an alcohol pad before applying the base coat. My dip lasts on my nails 2+ weeks without lifting! I have long nail beds, & I use the Apex method of applying my dip in order to create a softer edge near my cuticles. I dip my nails a total of 3 times. (Make sure you dust off your nails well between base coats!) After that, I apply activator once, and then I examine my nails to make sure the dip isn’t lumpy. If it is, I gently file it with a fine grit nail file until it is evened out. Then, I apply another coat of activator. Once that’s dry, I apply the first thin top coat layer. It will look weird and splotchy after your first top coat, that’s normal! I let the first layer dry for about 2 minutes before applying the second layer of top coat. Make sure you give your nails ample time to dry after the second top coat, like at least 3 minutes. I’ve noticed that if I don’t, my nails sometimes get little dents in them. To remove the dip, file off the top coat until it’s not shiny. Fill a bowl with hot water, get a sandwich sized ziplock bag, fold up a paper towel & put it in the bag. Fill the bag with just enough acetone to soak the paper towel and have a little extra in the bag. Place one hand in the bag. Put that bagged hand into the bowl of hot water just past your fingertips and rub your nails on the paper towel. Your dip should come off in like 10 minutes! The whole process takes me around 1.5 hours including removal and reapplication, but it is SO worth it to me to have a manicure that’s this easy, durable, lasts this long, and that I didn’t pay salon prices for (all due respect to nail techs out there, y’all rock but it has not been in my budget lately!) Sorry for the long review, but I hope this helps someone who is on the fence about ordering like I was!

Pretty color but the formula is very sticky and hard to put on

Thick and glossy, with a beautiful, rich color. I have found all of this brand's polishes long-lasting and great, but this one is next-level gorgeous.

I don’t know how this polish is getting any stars above ONE STAR. I’m giving it three just so people see my review. I had to put on three coats to make the color even. Then after theee days of drying to polish was still so soft it was getting dents in it with every little bump on my fingers and toes, even aster putting a top coat over it. The jelly pink is practically white. It’s not worth a nickel. I returned it because I wouldn’t bother giving it away to a friend. It’s junk.

It's more of a pale milky pink and nothing like pictured. It's quick drying so it leaves streaks if you're not fast and takes a bit of getting used to applying. I can speak to this one but I have other polishes from the brand and they are long wearing. I posted what it looks like and what the description shows for the Jelly Pink and this was 2 coats.

This is my second purchase of this nail polish! Love it - milky white, right in style and my nail technician pairs it with Dazzle Dry base and topcoat. Stays on great for an entire week - I reapply top coat every other day. Great stuff and I use high end beauty products exclusively. This polish is comparable!!! Love it

This is my new favorite fingernail polish! Love the brand and the color! Goes on smooth and lasts for weeks, even without a top coat!

Absolutely love it! And such a great price. Enjoyed the application process, piece of cake!

I still have to refine my skills but the product itself is great. Smelly though but easy, pretty & strong. Very happy.

An update- After using for few months, they no longer last 21 last if they last 14 days that’s a good set, I often have to fix cracks or ship nails after 9 days. Not sure why… Very easy to use, dries fast, good color selection but it would be nice if the containers were labeled with the color swatches. Looking at the powder is hard to determine what color you will end up with, and when purchasing the product the description says that colors may very so it’s difficult to know if you will get exactly as shown or some colors might be substituted. If it wasn’t for the color recognition difficulty I would give this product 5 stars. Be aware that the dipping jars are very small as it’s a starting kit and dipping some fingers might be tricky, I suggest to invest in a dipping powder recycling system to avoid wasting of your powder.

The product is alright even though it can chip, but no matter what I try I end up with a horrible cough and wheeze a few hours after doing my nails. I even tried an N95 mask and the odor still got through my mask and made me sick later on. I am hoping i can find other bases/activators/gels that will work with the dip powders so they don't go to waste, but now also concerned this product may have done some long term damage to my health since I have used it a few times. :(
