Nailboo Review-Dip Powder Kit

by Leslie N · Published January 29, 2023 · Updated January 29, 2023

After researching many different dip powders, I settled on Nailboo. Since I have had difficulty with nail applications in the past, I was very skeptical. This Nailboo Review is from my very first application of dip powder.

Since I'm new to the process, I purchased the Nailboo Kit with four dip colors. You choose your colors. See the demonstration of a first time dip application with this kit below.

Day 14

Chips on a few nails appeared by day 14. Above is a picture of just one chipped nail. Most of the chips look like this.

Day 18

By day 18, it was time for repair and fill or total replacement. I decided to remove this dip and replace with the other color that came with my kit. See the video to see what it looks like.

Nailboo Review-Final Thoughts

Nailboo dip powder application is quite easy and isn't as messy as I expected it to be. However, do your application in a ventilated area as the powder can get in the air and the smell can be strong. The top coat has the strongest odor.

I chose to use the top coat to add shine; however, this step is optional. If you don't add the top coat, your manicure will have a matte shade. With or without the top coat, the color looks nice.

The second time I did my at home manicure with the new colors, the process was much easier. Knowing to be extra careful about avoiding any base on my skin, I used my cuticle tools to immediately remove anything that was not on my nails.

Having had bad luck even with professional applications, I did not think Nailboo would work for me. However, I am pleasantly surprised at the durability and duration of Nailboo dip powder. One perk, if you get a chip or break, there is no waiting for a salon appointment. You can repair quickly at home and go about your day. I recommend trying Nailboo.
