Dip powder can easily run you $50 a manicure, so seeing this kit at such an affordable price is nothing short of a miracle. It includes six shades, including a few glittery options, so we think this would be a great choice for the holidays. This formula is also easy to remove—simply soak each nail with an acetone-saturated cotton ball and remove polish with a cuticle tool.

Some might think dip powders aren’t shiny—and they’re somewhat right. During application, each coat of powder definitely skews more matte, so it’s the top coat at the end that really counts. The one from this Gelish kit doesn’t disappoint. The top coat formula provides a super-shiny finish that is very similar to a gel mani, except this one is going to last much longer. Don’t forget to seal the edges of your nail to prevent chipping.

This set makes it easy for a beginner to get started with dip powder manicures. Along with being fast-drying, the vitamin E and calcium-infused formula leaves a smooth finish with no bubbles in sight. Plus, a cute kabuki brush is included to dust away any excess powder between coats.

The colors in this set are perfect for those who typically love a nude look—there’s a pink, purple, beige, and translucent neutral. What we like most about this kit is that it’s odor-free, provides a gel-like shine, and can easily be removed just like a gel manicure.

Ideal for all-year-round, these red-toned shades really evoke each season. From the deep wine to the bright, eye-popping pink, you have your choice of color all depending on your mood. This formula is resistant to chipping and cracking (rejoice!) and is also non-damaging to the nail bed.

The neutral pink and white powder work great together to create the classic French manicure look. Just make sure to apply the pink coats first—at least two—and then follow up with two coats of the white strip. One reviewer loves how light and smooth the powder is, making buffing at the end of application nonexistent.

If your nails tend to be on the stronger side (yep, we’re giving you the envious side-eye), then this kit is made for you. The set includes five liquids, all numbered according to order, which is impressive considering the price. If you like to mix colors, one reviewer recommends mixing the powders before application (versus while you’re applying) for desired results.

This dip powder formula is more durable than acrylic, and also less harmful for your nails. What we love most about it is the smaller size of the products—making this the set to tote around when you’re on vacation and are in desperate need of a good manicure.
