Turned out great!
I used the base and top along with the white gel polish. What I did is I did one coat of the white and then the rest with a light pink. This is the best white gel I’ve ever used its super opaque so a few coats will do. Beetles seems to have bettered their formula!

Not easy to work with
This stuff is really thick so when you put it on, you have to be very careful it’s hard to judge how much to put on at one time because the end result can look sloppy and then it will not be even and you’ll end up just peeling off the next day I am not a nail technician. I’ve learned my limitations, but this stuff is still hard to work with, and it takes multiple times to dry under the lamp, and then it ends up messing your cuticles and stuff.

Works great, however
I didn’t check the size of the bottles when I bought them, and they are way bigger and have way more product than I thought! I have had them for a few months, and I do mine and other peoples nails every week. I only now am thinking about buying more because I am running low. That’s crazy for me because I typically buy them more often. The only issue I have, and I’m honestly not sure if this is my doing, but sort of like the way washable markers don’t work on plastic and it separates across the surface, occasionally this will happen on a couple nails. If this is my fault, than there are no issues but if not I’m a little confused on why that is happening. Hope this helps

Cheap, but good
I like the beetles brand because it’s good practice for using different colors/technique for gel nail polish. Not at all the best quality, but it dries quicker than normal nail polish, and its affordable so I’ll take it!

Love these!
I am on my DIY nail journey and I have used clear for a long time and love it. I wanted to branch out and try colored builder gels and this set had a lot of great color choices. They are smaller bottles, but will last me a long time. These have helped eliminate extra steps with gel polish over top depending on the design choices I am going for. They self level really well.

Hmm
I purchased the builder gel because I heard it’s great for helping your nails grow due to it being an extra stronger layer on your nails.This is not a regular gel polish and it is a bit difficult to use. I’m hoping that I can get the hang of it. It is on more of the thicker side.

Great product!
I do my nails myself and this is the longest I’ve been able to keep my polish on with minimal chipping and lifting. I work in health care and therefore wash my hands frequently. I’ve been wearing my polish for 3 weeks now!!!GET this product but remember to clean your natural nails thoroughly before application. I have on the clear base gel.

Lasts at least two weeks
If the beetles gels are applied properly, they last me at least two weeks. ‘dehydrate’ the clean and dry nail with alcohol or a dehydrating product. Apply base coat, use your light, apply color and so on. There’s a slight learning curve if you haven’t used gels, so, don’t go in adding thick layers. Start with a thin amount and slowly build up. Use your light between each coat and top coat twice. These Beetles gels give a professional salon look.

Nail Perfection Achieved!
The shine finish is truly remarkable. The top coat in this set delivers an unparalleled glossy sheen that rivals the most luxurious salon manicures. It’s like wearing a coat of liquid diamonds on your nails.The long-lasting formula is a game-changer. These coats are designed to stand the test of time, resisting chipping, fading, or dulling. You can enjoy your stunning nails for an extended period without the need for constant touch-ups.What I appreciate most is the ease of application. The brushes glide smoothly, ensuring even and precise coverage. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned nail artist, achieving flawless results is effortless.

So shiny
I love beetles base and top coat! Love the viscosity of both and the top coat is so shiny and durable…. it stays shiny and I never get any chips or scratches on my top coat. I’ve included a picture of the base and top coat used over decals and also a picture of them both being used over a clear Acrylic overlay which is my most preferred nail for myself. I recommend this product to everyone.

Be careful of developing allergies to it!
This does what it’s supposed to, but I did develop an allergy to it, so I unfortunately can’t use it anymore, so be aware if your sensitive to gels. I never was until this brand, so it could just be the brand itself idk, I used the base coat then a regular polish and then the top coat, each time I used it my manicure would always look professional, like I’d been to a salon but once the allgeries started I’d get like bumps and a type of rash around my cuticles and it’d itch too pretty bad, this isn’t easy to get off of the nails either, especially the base coat, I’d soak my nails for 15 minutes in remover and it’d still be on there like I’d just applied it. So I had to take my nail drill to get the excess off my nails. Wish I could of continued to use it bc it was beautiful but it just didn’t work out.

This is a must have. If you start doing your nails, you can never go wrong with having black or white in your collection. The black is so pretty not faded and the white is very bright not see thru.

While I just got this and used it, all I can say is I’m happy with it so far. I used this along with their gel polish. I will see how well it hold ups after a week or so. You could use this base and top coat along with your own choice of nail polish. Be careful to not put BASE coat on so thick.

Very good for gel x!|my prep & beetles Dip application incl.💖
The base coat actually surprised me. I was a cosmo for 3 years & am an ex nail technician. Im usually allergic to everyone, everything, & the entire outside every chemical hints why im an ex nail tech, but this base & top coat kit actually didnt cause me hives or any upset lol cool!! The base coat is actually really awesome in that i use it for gel x.Even my long nails stayed on with this stuff; with proper prep with an 80 grit Hand file only for some reason as the sanding band is too much for a natural nail & creates lifting, and an 80 grit buffing block has the same issue & did not work at all! to keep my nails on bc the surface was too even.So unless i specifically used an 80 grit hand file in my natural nail prep as a cereal lifter & one who bathes frequently for anxiety), & if the tips or press ons are thin & white or light enough with no gel polish on them, such as a natural tip, i can still cure them in my led lamp fully if i gently prep the undersides with a coarse ceramic flame bit on low, & then paint some acid bonder underneath first, & very gently blow it dry.I specifically look for french press ons where the nail bed is particularly translucent, or a very light jelly like pink. no darker than natural shaded nail tips, white tips didnt work for me as there is too much pigment for the light to fully cure. I can also use a natural shade of full cover press on because their thinner than clear but thats personal preference, i usually just buy french full cover press ons from dollar tree. i VERY gently rough the surface w an 80 grit hand file, & edges! Then coat them in gel🙃 I will give my full application used below!I used this base gel with natural tips & made sure to get close to the led & they cured completely for the full 120 to adhere the base with tips.-I have very beautiful & resistant acrylic type nails, when before no gel had ever stuck to me. The top coat is like a tempered glass finish.I had had a bad reaction to expired uv only opi builder gel & switched to beetles. The quality of the product that i purchased is beyond expectations, didnt cause me any upset, or reactions. The top coat is also the SHINIEST & clearest ive ever used. I switched from Intense Seal bc of the smell & yellowing i was getting from nowhere.Id love to do more reviews on this brand, with photos! but cant currently afford the products on my own. Im hoping to save up to afford the gel polishes because their kits are definitely affordable & something id love to invest in, im just on a parental budget lol. Im switching my entire line over to beetles bc of the results ive gotten.The base coat on its own cures with a slight amber tint as any natural resin does, i basically used it as my adhesive. The top coat is crystal clear, as sturdy as the glass on my tablet, & has lasted me through a full shower, & extensive OCD hand filing, where all others have failed. It really is all in the prep, so never use buffing blocks to rough up your nails as it sands your nail too too fine, or even of a finish for gel, where as i saw a clear difference with a black 80 grit nail file after i did my cuticle prep with a ball bit. My nails arent budging. Together they are invincible. I will list my full process below for anyone needing a good regimen. Im autistic & i love to help lol💖💅🏻Prep:•size out & prep underside of tips where they will be adhered with an 80 grit coarse ceramic or metal flame bit on low & then acid bonder, gently blow dry.•Use 90% alcohol to sanitize hands before any services, & then use a lint free pad in alcohol to get all corners. i have found that the 70% has too much water content & doesnt prevent lifting, i had the same issue with any acetone that also contained oils such as the blue ogx. I just use plain 90 iso.•i used a sphere bit to remove any cuticle on the nail plate, make sure to get the sides & corners by cuticles as this is where lifting happens. The sphere bit naturally pushes back my cuticles.•Wipe down with alcohol.•went over nails lightly with a black 80 grit nail file.•alcohol.•opi bondaid ph balancer prep.•fengshangmei 15ml acid primer(this is acid bonder)|Gel|°°°°°°•2 layers of base gel onto nail plate. Dont touch anything & only do 1 hand at a time bc this stuff has a sticky layer you NEED to keep on, needs to be untouched, & its a point of base gel to have the sticky layer for proper adhesion to the next layer that lasts. Avoid getting the sticky layer on the skin & wipe off with a lint free wipe & alcohol immediately if you do to avoid contact dermatitis. This is a dispersion layer of uncured gel.•adhere tips with base gel, mine where natural shade & i made sure to use an led & got close to the light. Cure for 120 seconds. I used a mini handheld sun lamp for this until i switched to the top coat, then i used the bigger led lamp. I also painted an even layer of base gel & didnt flood the well of the tip, the tip cant have any bubbles.•wipe sticky layer with alcohol.• file any overfill being careful not to file the base gel on the natural nail, & prep top of tip for gel application with the 80 grit hand file. Do any tip shaping now.•wipe any dust with alcohol, & a lint free pad from temu.(I put away my mini sun, & switched to the bigger led lamp here.)•for dip application. 1 layer of base gel, then top coat prior to application. This made my nails sturdy & i went over the edges & coated the tip both times. Make sure to flip hand & cure the gel on the underside for 90 seconds or you will have uncured gel under there if the tip isnt clear. If the tip is clear, or your lamp base is mirrored this isnt necessary. I have admittedly shoved a goody hand mirror in there bc im impatient lol(I took a break here! washed my hands as the top gel has sealed everything, &i rehydrated, & ate a chex mix snack with literal lunch lady gloves lol)•Do your dip routine, if app. i followed kira sky’s on YouTube, to achieve a proper apex. Before top coat i gently sharpened up my shape with a 180 grit nail file. This gel top coat cures in 90 seconds, & i cured my thumbs separately. I only had to top coat once! to achieve an even full shine & i am ectatic about this!Overall a very good system & money well spent. Their clear acrylic powder in the 4oz jar is the finest & most reliable ive used. I even mixed an oz with a teaspoon of glow in the dark powder, chunky glitters, Its affordable & really versatile. But this gel base & top is invaluable to me🤍💕

straight forward and does what it is supposed to.
i mean i feel like top coat and base coat is straight forward. my job requires me to be pretty hands-on and i am usually rough with my nails. with proper preparation, i had my gel lasting about a week and a half! for a comparison, my gel sets usually last me only 2 or 3 days with the last base coat i used.the top coat stays nice and shiny for a few days, but does start to get a bit dull after that. i have not noticed any yellowing, either, but i might not have been wearing them long enough to start yellowing.MIGHT recommend this product. i had used it for a few months before replacing them with a different brand of base/top coat. this beetles gel is not my go to, but it still is a good product.

Standard polishes
I used both base and top coats for my nails. I also previously purchased a portable uv light from the same brand. These are not bad and pretty standard in my opinion. Keeps my polish on for about 1-2 weeks but I still noticing chipping early stage. With a toddler, I tend to do a lot of work with hands and wash them frequently. Even salon work would chip here and there after 4-5 days so this is fine for diy at home.

Beatles top coat
Oh my God I love love love this product so the topcoat is self is nice and thick. It does not run it. Please make sure that it is cured all the way. The shine is impeccable and if I had to say, it’s a very close second to kupa topcoat. very strong could almost be use like a builder gel but 10 /10 will be purchasing again

Finally
I have been looking for a good matte top coat for a while.It’s not sticky and the matte finish is what I have been wanting for so long.The only matte finish that comes as close as this one is the gel finish by Sally Hansen.The base coat is also nice and thick.I haven’t used the Top coat on my nails; but I used it on a practice nail and it was nice and thick and again not sticky. And it has a nice shine too.I highly recommend

Good product and great price
Beetles gel polishes are really good quality, especially for the price. After trying these out I ordered a set of colored gel polishes from them and was not disappointed. Compared to other brands I’ve tried, this one has a really nice and not-watery consistency. It is beginner friendly and has such a great finish and durable. My nails rarely chip and last me much longer than with other brands I’ve tried in this price range. Soaking off does take an extended amount of time but buffing off some of the product first has helped me. Definitely worth it in my opinion.

You can never go wrong with a nice set of white nails
This color is so classic and always looks good. The gel works really well together and cures in LED light. My nails usually last me between 1 and 2 weeks!My friends always ask where I get my nails done but I just do them myself! Way less expensive than the salon and the quality is just as good!To remove, I recommend using a gel-removal product.

Beetles is extremely high in HEMA, buyer beware
If it’s your first time using a builder gel then please get a HEMA free gel instead (kokoist is a good place to start but there are others).HEMA allergies are no joke. Not only will they cause you to be allergic to gel polish and builder gel for the rest of your life, it’ll also cause problems with dental work and even some surgeries.Imagine having dental work done like a crown or a filling and then not being able to keep them in because of an allergy. I believe it can also effect things like hip and knee replacements.If you still choose to purchase beetles (or anything on Amazon, they are all really high in HEMA) then you need to be EXTREMELY careful. DO NOT a get it on your skin! DO NOT get it on your cuticle! DO NOT a cure it on the skin! If you do get it on the skin immediately wipe it off with acetone or isopropyl alcohol. If there is any irritation on or around your nail, take it off immediately!

Gets the job done
It’s a good top coat but I feel like there are better options out there. They are very affordable but I feel like my nails don’t last as long as they should.When doing nails, the prep is key for retention and the top coat does the job but the base coat needs to be good quality for retention.My nails (poly gel) last around 1 week before lifting and 2 weeks before one eventually is almost lifted offFor gel polish I would say they last around 1 1/2 – 2 weeks. Maybe I’m just using cheap products though

I’m a loyal customer
I love this brand, I find all of their nail products to be superior and accessible as opposed to a lot of other professional products. I’ve never had a problem curing this black in the past, like I have with other brands.
