AZUREBEAUTY Clear Dip Powder for Nails, Essential Dipping Build Powder for 28+ Long-Lasting Nail Art Manicure Salon DIY at Home with Transparent Crystal Color, 28g/1Oz

I’m cheap so I do my own nails at home. I am no way anything close to a professional, just figure stuff out as I go. Dip nails are super easy to do, and once you get the hang of it, you’ll have to do less shaping and filing afterwards. I work at a very popular and busy “convenience store” with a goose logo. I extremely rough on my nails. Constant hand washing, dishes, tearing up cardboard, scrubbing cleaning. Typically I will chip at least one nail a day and have to fix it. And they all lift within a week. I was using a clear dip as my first coats, building the apex, then my color dip, then a final clear before activator. Grabbed this build powder after reading reviews. And wow! I actually added it to my current nails as a top layer instead of starting over. Two days later and I didn’t have one nail chip or crack at work. Impressed.Now I have done a complete set using the build powder first, two dips in the middle, one whole nail. Then 2-3 dips of color, and a final whole nail build powder. Capping the nail edge, and using 2 coats top coat. The build powder is a great consistency, no extra filing necessary. I can see the difference between powder brands, my colors are a cheaper brand, and need more smoothing and filing. Azure brand is much finer, not needing filing other than mild smoothing.

Looks beautiful, I can't wait to use it, once all my items come in

Worth the money! Works great!!

Very good high quality dip powder. Easy to use and long lasting. Does start to chip after about 2 weeks but I am very rough on my nails! Great product!

The Azure Nail Builder is excellent for nails that split, crack or peel! I used this product for the first time three weeks ago and my nails are still looking good. I used a base coat of the builder, a second coat of color nail dip and a final coat of the nail builder. It was easy to apply, be careful not to get any dip on your skin as it will cause the color to lift. I also "capped off" the tips of the nail as this is where they get daily abuse and it eliminates the chipping. I will order this product again and it is a great price on Amazon.PROS: Larger size jar than other products.Easy to use with included instructions.Eliminates color chipping when used with a color dip.CONS: The result is transparent but not totally clear.

I used this build powder under my first set and then didn’t with the second step. I didn’t see much of a difference in strength. I want to try it on its own though as a clear dip. I’ll update if I feel like it works on its own.

Great deal and worked great!

I've been doing my own nails for 30 years, and I've done my own multi-step process since the days of the Mary Kay nail kit. I have done gel polish, poly gel, acrylic, press-ons and now the dip powder. I read about the need for builder powder to strengthen nails, and chose this one. I think it's fantastic and really helps improve the health of my nails. It takes practice to use the right amount and buff/file it right for a smooth surface. I did a few dip nails without it in the beginning and I can tell the difference in my nail strength when I use it. Sometimes I put it on my nails before and after the dip color.
