5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous. Exactly What I Wanted
I bought these as someone who just started the whole DIY Gel X nails at home journey. I decided to ultimately take a chance on Beetles polish, because I’ve seen a lot of people really endorse the brand’s polish as a great choice that doesn’t break the bank.
I jumped on the Jelly set, because I’ve been obsessed with that tinted translucent nail look.
The shades in that set are phenomenal. They look a bit misleading in the bottle, but once you lay it on your nail, it’s incredible how fantastic it looks. My favorite is e020, e018, and a milky white I can’t remember the color code for at this time.
Yes, the bottles are small. For some this is a bit disappointing, but not for me specifically. I’ll likely only be doing my nails since I’m not a professional nail tech and still very unpracticed, so these polishes will last me a good amount of time even if they are small.
I think it’s a nice way to experience different colors or try new things without committing to huge gel polish bottles.
The quality of these polishes are also pretty great! I remember seeing very mixed opinions on the quality of the polish, and all I’ve got to say about that is these are very good but your prep is so important.
I have not experienced any chips, cracks, or peeling and I don’t think I’ll need to worry about these polishes. Give them a try, you might really enjoy these.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great colours!
As a professional nail tech who was in a pinch and needed some gels quickly and cheaply, these did great.
The colours are exactly as shown once you do 2 or more coats/layers.
They are a little self-leveling but not much so pay attention to your strokes.
The colour comes out so evenly and beautiful when you’re finished.
I haven’t used the matte top coat yet so I can’t comment on that but the gloss top coat is beautiful and is a non-wipe TC so it’s great for using glitters or chrome powders!
I did find that the glittery ones chipped quicker but this makes sense since the amount of glitter makes the gel harder and thus less resilient. So they’re good if you’re looking for a bit of bling for a weekend. (This is a common problem with cheaper glittery brands, if you really want long lasting glitter gels you need to go up-market to the real professional brands like KiaraSky or GelBottleInc).
Considering that a primer is not needed for this set they last very well! Just be sure to buff, clean and dehydrate your nails by using a dehydrator, rubbing alcohol or acetone first to remove the oils and let it sit for 1-2 minutes before continuing with a thin layer of the base coat. If you follow these steps you won’t have issues with lifting or peeling after a few hours or days as others have mentioned. Oh and make sure you don’t flood the nail – leave the tiniest gap between where you start the gel and the skin, even around the sides to minimise more chances of lifting as well. Practise makes perfect. You don’t need to use a lot or load up the brushes with a ton of gel either, a little goes a long way and gel is all about building strength through thin layers.
My favourite colours are the pale blue and the nudes. They look so great and have such a beautiful high shine polish to them that doesn’t fade over time.
Hope this helps!
5 stars from me!

4.0 out of 5 stars What’s the smell?
It’s good gel polish, make sure you have a good UV lamp. Colors are bright, it applies smoothly. The top coat seems to dry better than the base for some reason. Bottles are small. It comes with top/base gel coat and a matte top coat. Then there’s this weird, burnt, off smell that comes from the polish, that’s the only bad thing I have to say

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful colors
These are gorgeous colors! I love the handy tray they come in, and although the actual color polishes are small, they pack a punch! I love the cosmic theme, they all vibe well with each other for that perfect accent nail or tips for long nails. The top and base coats are full sized. The magnet works well. It was nicely packaged, and got here in 30 hours! I’d definately buy again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the results
I recently purchased the Beetles 23 Pcs Gel Nail Polish Kit, specifically the Unicorn Collection, and it has exceeded all my expectations. This kit is a true gem for anyone who loves to experiment with nail art and wants salon-quality results at home.
First of all, the color selection in this set is fantastic. The pastel pink, yellow, blue, purple, and green gel polishes are not only vibrant but also beautifully complement each other. Whether you’re going for a unicorn-inspired look or just want to mix and match colors, this kit has you covered. The glitter gel polish adds a touch of sparkle and creativity to any manicure.
The application process is a breeze. The gel polishes go on smoothly and evenly, and the set includes both glossy and matte topcoats, allowing you to create different finishes. The included base coat ensures that the gel polish adheres well and lasts for a long time without chipping.
What sets this kit apart is the quality of the gel polishes. They are highly pigmented, meaning you get rich, vibrant colors with just one or two coats. Plus, they soak off easily when you’re ready for a change, making it hassle-free to switch up your nail look.
I appreciate the attention to detail in this kit. It includes all the tools you need for a professional-looking manicure, including nail files, a buffer, cuticle pushers, and nail art brushes. It’s a comprehensive package that makes at-home nail art fun and easy.
The durability of these gel polishes is impressive. I’ve had my manicure last for well over two weeks without any significant chipping or fading. That’s salon-quality longevity right in the comfort of my home.
Overall, the Beetles 23 Pcs Gel Nail Polish Kit, Unicorn Collection, is a must-have for nail enthusiasts. It offers a wide range of beautiful colors, outstanding quality, and durability. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced nail artist, this kit will help you achieve stunning manicures with ease. It’s a fantastic gift for yourself or any nail-loving woman in your life. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

Polish bottles are on the smaller side. But overall the colors are very pigmented and it is a very good way to grow a collection very fast. They also work great for nail art

3.0 out of 5 stars more trouble than it’s worth
Bought this with the hopes of also being able to mix other colors as well, nope!
firstly the bottles are way smaller than they advertise in the photos. They show them in the bigger bottles, so I was very taken a back to see them in these small, almost gel liner bottles and it’s something very easily missed in the description that they’re 5mL bottles.
Secondly, all of the bottles and even in the directions, it says to shake the bottle to mix the pigment. I spent maybe 5 minutes shaking, rolling, rolling upside down to try and get the pigment mixed in with the gel and I could STILL see a lot of loose pigment not mixed in when I went to take the brush out. I could easily see the separation and when brushing it on the nail it caused me to have a very bumpy uneven coat on a smooth, clean nail tip (not filed, no dust) because of all the loose pigment still not mixed it with the gel which SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.
The sparkle colors were nice and sheer and all the other colors were nice and opaque, just like how they were advertised in the product photos (I did 2 coats for all of the colors) EXCEPT for the red and blue which are the MOST IMPORTANT to be opaque 😭 in case you want to mix to make other colors.
THE RED AND BLUE were so so sheer even with only 2 coats, I could see through it like glass still. Which Ive also experienced with their beetles black gel as well, not pigmented or opaque and very watery.
Thirdly, the SMELL. All these polishes smelled HEAVILY of chemicals and something akin to strong horseradish so much it made my nose burn while using these polishes.
Yes they are cheap and affordable but this brand especially is known to cause gel allergies. It’s better to just save your money and invest in higher quality gels than to risk your health to save money.
(which I will be returning these)

5.0 out of 5 stars My nails suck these are awesome
So I’m grad school broke and have fast-growing nails that are thin-ish and love to split and chip at the ends if they get longer than a mm. I thought these were a different kind of gel – that I’d damage my nails like acrylics/gel/dips do and have to wait months for them to grow out. Nail polish just doesn’t stay on my nails and a cute paint job will be gone the moment I shower, or in 2 days, whichever comes first. Enter this stuff. I LOVE IT – this brand is my fav.
It takes some learning – you cant get amazing nails the first time with these. DO NOT do anything else before you have the final coat on. Pee first, have everything you need, don’t go digging in anything or touch clothing/tissues, don’t touch it even to check things – if you do thin layers and bake for 90 seconds it’ll be dry. This stuff is sticky even when baked under a UV light and you’ll be picking lint off if you do ANYTHING other than go from beginning to end in one sitting. The top coat is fine the moment its time under the UV light is done so you can go full speed when finished.
My advice is definitely BUFF your nails lightly with a rough file to rough up the slick surface so it sticks for a long time- dont do so much you injure your nails. Warm up the base coat in your hands (or put it in a warm glass of water while you buff) so it goes on THIN. UV light for 60-90 seconds. For thin or broken nails (I even repaired a broken nail this way) put on a second THIN layer. UV for 90. THEN put on 2-3 layers of a color – each are sheer-ish don’t worry it’ll be solid by the next layer.
This stuff doesn’t dry until baked so every single time you apply a layer it gets 60 seconds under the light. 90 if its the tiny light. I do 3 layers of color. If I need a base under a sheer glitter one, I’ll do 2 for a solid color the the sheer 1-2 on top. Keep an eye on it getting lumpy – if you put it too much in one area and thin in another there will be thick areas on your nails. Don’t get it on your skin, it’s a pain to get off later with a cuticle clipper – take advantage of it not drying and carefully wipe off anything on your skin before baking.
This stuff will get HOT if you don’t do thin layers – like BURNING hot (and you cant remove it). Keep it thin. If you do feel it getting hot remove immediately, let it cool then put it back in. Your top coat (1) will be the hottest of all of them so be ready for heat – usually because it’s thicker than the others.
If they’re not hard as a rock, you didn’t bake them long enough. 1-2 layers of THINNEST base, 2-4 layers of color (if you get creative there may be more), 1 layer of top. Mine stay perfect until they grow out so much they need to be changed. You CAN fill them in if you buff down the top coat but you’re buying a giant kit like this why not remove them to try another color.
ABOUT THAT – consider getting fingerless gloves to protect your skin from the UV light. Some people are sensitive and if you do this too often you might see signs of irritation or even aging after a year or so. I do this about every 3 weeks so it’s not bad – and I pamper my skin after with 3 rounds of moisturizer and massages. I don’t recommend this type of nail if you do it more than once every 2 weeks – it’s not good for your skin. This stuff is meant to STAY on. If you like changing it up a lot, paint a natural nail in the gel polish then paint a regular nail polish type over the top – use a non-acetone remover like SOY POLISH REMOVER that will take off the polish but not mess with the gel nail.
When removing the gel nail, I got a cheap electric file to buff it down quickly but you have to have a steady hand – if you don’t want to deal with those things get a rough nail file and file down the top coat of all the nails then put on a remover. Some removers paint on, they’re not great and have to be done like 4 times – you can get remover dip for gel nails so you can soak them off. There’s also the 100% acetone method that you use with a cotton ball torn into 10 pieces and dipped in then applied to the nail with either foil or those clamp things to keep the air away – that sometimes requires 2 rounds – DONT PULL IT OFF – YOUR NAIL LAYERS WILL COME WITH IT. Watch a youtube video and educate yourself so your nail will come out squeaky clean and unharmed.
Pamper your naked nails after removal AND after application – cuticle oil and moisturizer – treat your hands too they just went through light trauma. Good luck!

I’ve REALLY loved this set. I’ve been reaching for these colors the most lately. It has lots of fun bright colors all the ones I was looking for in one purchase! I also love that there is a white added on and that it also has a matte top coat along with the gloss top coat. You get a lot with this one purchase!
