Beetles Gel Top Coat Base Coat Set for Gel Nail Polish, 3Pcs No Wipe Base Gel Matte & Shiny Top Coat, Long Lasting High Gloss and Matte Effects Soak off Uv Led Gel DIY at Home

Received my package. Work well as a top coat. The brand is great. Good choice for nail technicians. No bottle leakage. No stickiness. Consistency is good. Great for the price.

I use this as a top coat with non-gel ILNP polishes. It keeps my nails looking great for two weeks or more. I haven’t experienced any peeling or bubbles and the smell is very mild. Also no allergic reactions but that may be because I use nail tips and cure them on the stand and not my hand. I love that it’s no wipe. In my opinion it is a great product.

Love it for my dip nails. Gives it the professional gloss. It last and doesn't chip off. I'm a full time mom and wife. Dishes, house cleaning, gardening, withstand all of it.

This was the best set. I can't do a nail set without using these 3. very essential

I have been looking for a no wipe gel topcoat that would work for natural nails. I've used one in the past that cracked since it was only formulated for hard gels and acrylics. Since most builder gels that I like are soak-off and I don't wear nail enhancements, just an overlay, I really did more research this time around. I was definitely skeptical since I have only used gel brushes from this brand. But I was eager to see how the topcoat would perform. I don't plan to use the base coat since I'm partial to another brand. Fair warning, this product has a terrible smell!!! No lie. It's a bit shocking and distressing. None of my gel or gellac products have a strong scent and definitely not this intense! I was really taken aback. But I persevered and figured I'd try it on one hand and use my other regular gel topcoat on my other hand to get a wear comparison. 1 week in and so far, it's stayed shiny, no cracks, chips or peeling. It seems resistant so far to staining from makeup even over a sheer color but I haven't tried it on any true shades yet. I'm very partial to nudes right now it's worked great with my sheer overlay.The formula, aside from the strong odor, self-levels pretty well BUT you have to beware not to apply too much as it has a thin consistency and can run into sidewalls of the the nail or into the cuticle. Also don't apply it too thin or it will be 'streaky' because gel is attracted to gel and it only self-levels if there is enough product applied in an even application. Take. Your. Time. I always check and make sure each coat is even and level before curing in my UV/LED lamp. Due to being a no-wipe, I avoid applying multiple coats because you can create ridges if your application isn't perfectly smooth. It works fine over other topcoats that have an inhibition layer. The convenience of not having to wipe off an inhibition layer is really great and makes my manicure process so easy. Despite the bad odor, I went ahead and purchased a full-size bottle so I'm hopeful I've found a new favorite topcoat. Looking forward to using it to apply chrome/mermaid powders as well.

I need to use tips to lengthen and strengthen my nails and the builder gel evenly levels out over top of my nails and tip. It is a lengthy process because I take all the steps to prep my nails first but applying the builder gel and curing is so easy! I painted over with regular polish but have used the tinted builder gel and that looks better quality.

Works great with regular nail polish, even Dollar Tree polish! Let the nail polish dry completely before applying and curing this top coat. Last 10-14 days and way easier to remove. Buff off top coat and wipe off polish as usual. No soaking required.

The set has a great shine and the matte top coat looks amazing, but unfortunately, the gel tends to peel on me after a couple of days. I followed all the prep steps, so I’m not sure if it’s my nails or the product. It’s easy to use and affordable, but the staying power isn’t quite what I hoped for. Might work better for others!
