Ive recently began doing my own nails at home, and Beetles just happened to be the brand I bought. I ended up really loving it, so I've been slowly adding to my collection ever since. I have quite the collection already, and this 6 piece jelly pack was a wonderful addition. I really, really like it. It goes on so easily, it isn't sticky, and is very durable, at least with a top coat. Ive never tried them without. Anyway, ive not had any chipping or anything like that. I love the colors so much. The photos are each color with 2 coats. The majority of them also look good with a single coat, particularly the darker shades like the black and blue, but I think they all look their best with 2 coats. They are stunning and have a crystal-like appearance. The bottle sizes are bigger than the little black ones that come in a lot of kits.. the starter kits in particular, but not as big as their larger, 15ml bottles. I believe these are 7.5ml each. I definitely like these square/rectangle bottles better than the black ones. Their quality is noticeably better. Anyway, this is one of my first jelly sets and its absolutely my favorite so far. I love the translucent look without it looking streaky. I can't wait to use the green and red soon for Christmas. Good purchase, for sure. Read more
Good quality takes some practice but comes out gorgeous. Put black on first cure it and then one of the Shimmer ones make sure its a thick coat for best results then hoover magnet and cure Read more

I'm really happy with this set. All but 1 of the colors is up to the high standards of the Beetles polish that I know. The dark purple color (222) was slightly clumpy, but not severely so. Still totally usable. The colors are saturated and opaque. They all cure solidly after 60 seconds with no tackiness. Each swatch shows 2 coats. These are smaller than your typical polish bottles, but for the price I think it's an excellent value. I mainly bought this set for the yellow, which is the perfect bright shade that I've been looking for forever! I did one swatch with 2 coats of yellow, and another swatch with 1 coat of white, then 1 coat of this yellow. The white base makes it even more bright and opaque, I love it! Read more
I got the ones called "Beetles Jelly Gel Nail Polish Set Jelly Magic Gel Polish (6 Colors Pink, Red, Black, Blue, Green, Purple)". They are a really nice quality. The shades look accurate to the pictures online, and they cured/dried evenly with no problems or stickiness after 60 seconds, but I did cure for an additional 30 seconds to be safe.. The formula goes on smoothly, and the photo I attached shows them after two coats—sheer but with good color payoff. I also tried them over a cat eye polish, and they looked great layered that way too. The set is reasonably priced for trying out six different jelly colors without committing to full-size bottles. This was my first time using jelly shades, and I’d definitely buy more colors from them. Read more
