20 Best Dip Pouches For Beginners (2023 Updated)

I’ve been using this product for about a year now. I buy my nail tips separately, glue them on, then use this kit. It can take 2 or 3 times before you master it, but I find it fun. Its similar to acrylic, but doesn’t have a strong smell, and doesn’t require a lot of filing.

I like my nails medium to long length, so this kit is good for about 2-3 nail sets for me. You will run out of the gel before anything else, and it can dry up/glue the bottle closed if you don’t store it upright.

Do everything on a flat surface, otherwise the powder can get everywhere. It is possible to encapsulate small things in the nail, like you might do with acrylic (glitters, etc. ). I’m a perfectionist so altogether, it takes me about an hour to do everything, but with shorter nails you can accomplish everything in about 30 minutes.

The gel always works good as a top coat over your nail color that dries quick!.

I enjoy doing my own nails at home and this is one of the best kits I have ever used. Tips for better application- after applying the gel and dipping on one full hand, go through and lightly brush off excess powder.

This allows a much smoother and nicer look and also keeps from getting excess powder on gel brush. Instructions state to use gel brush as top coat after dipping twice and applying activator but I choose to use my own top coat and apply two coats.

I am not a professional but I am happy with the outcome every time. Lasts as long as professionally done nails. I love this kit! Beautiful and less than $15! I’ll tag other products that I use during my process.

this is so easy to use! There are a few videos on youtube that are pretty good if you have issues. Just type in “kiss salon dip nail kit tutorial”. The most important tips are 1) to make sure the gel is evenly coating the nail before you dip into the powder (you miss a spot and you will notice it), 2) make sure you clean the wand BEFORE you dip it back into the gel bottle after EACH TIME you apply a coat of gel over the powder.

if you leave powder on the wand and dip it back into the gel, the 2 will mix and harden (“activate”) and you won’t be able to use it anymore. Just wipe the wand on a paper towel, swiping back and forth a few times before you place the wand back into the gel bottle.

Not need to go over board with it though And 3) use activator as the final step– then file/shape nails and then use the activator AGAIN when you’re all finished. It’s definitely a process but you’ll get the hang of it and its inexpensive and lasted me over a month! I ended up having to soak them in acetone to get them off.

I have thin nails and when I usually do my nails myself, they pop off just a few days later but these lasted forever like I got them done in the salon! plus if you do a good job at applying the layers of gel and powder, the less filing you have to do afterwards to shape them.

If you are good at painting your own nails, you can definitely use this product. If you’re not so good at painting your own nails, have a friend put these on for you. Would absolutely buy again!.

If you have never try Kiara sky brand you need to. They might doing nails at home easy.  my husband bought this kit for Christmas last year for me. I can’t remember the last time I went to a salon to have my nails done.

This makes it simple to do your nails and make them look very professional. Since I’ve received this kit I have bought many more different dip color powders and nail polishes. I follow this brand on Instagram and I check on them every single day.

I’m even trying to win contest for them every time they have one but still no luck lol. @kiarasky is incredible.

Kiara Sky dip powder systems are THE easier way to get a gorgeous, long lasting, professional quality acrylic overlay manicure right at home without being a professional! The color is built right into the acrylic powder and there’s no need to be a perfectionist! All you simply do is paint on the base coat (to your natural nail or over top an extension tip), dip into the powder, repeat 3x, seal/activate.

Then, FILE BUFF. Any imperfections or mess ups you’ve made can be simply filed away and shaped into the desired shape. Seal activate again and apply top coat! Top coat dries solid in 1-2 minutes WITHOUT UV light or nail driers! The finished product is a gorgeous manicure that will shine and last for 2-4 weeks (depending on nail growth).

Can be removed with an acetone soak. I’ll never use regular polish or gel again. Best of all, I’ll never have to pay someone to do my nails ever again! The hype is legit!.

I bought this kit to teach myself how to do my own nails at home. I thoroughly love anything I can do myself at home. My nails tend to crack easily, gel doesn’t always keep them sturdy and going to the salon every 2 weeks.

So I bought this kit to give my nails some strength while also looking great. Plus I suck at polish. I always get it everywhere when using my non-dominant hand to paint.

This works very well and does exactly what it claims, lasts a long time. It does however take a good bit of practice to get them perfect smooth. I developed and allergy to the powder and would be so sneezy the next day.

( would recommend wearing a mask/ doing it on the deck. You do have to have the nail length you want already, cannot use it for extensions. The bottle brushes dry up fast if you get excess powder on it.

Had to replace base coat and top a few times. I’ve used dips that are not the same brand with this and it works fine. I’ve since switched to polygel and it’s so much faster and easier.

Hidden Valley makes the best ranch that you can buy in the store and their dip is no different. I had my gallbladder removed about 18 months ago and it’s forced me to change my eating habits. I can no longer eat greasy or high in fat foods.

One day I decided to make this dip with fat free sour cream. I was convinced it was going to be gross and not taste as good as it did with regular sour cream and wow was I wrong. The dip tastes just as good!! Also it’s super good if you make it with Greek Yogurt!.

I looooooove this dip! It’s literally so addictive. I usually mix it with sour cream eat it with Ruffles chips. It makes a really good snack or a hit appetizer at a party. People always love this stuff.

I highly recommend buying this product! It’s so versatile delicious.

Hidden Valley The Original Ranch Dips mix is a packet of seasonings that you add to a container of sour cream, mix it together. Then put it in the fridge for Atleast 30 minutes. Use this Ranch dip for a multitude of different things, my favorites are ruffles chips or carrots.

I have purchased this multiple times so it’s safe to say I would recommend it.

This was a big disappointment. I ordered for a bible study group of middle school students I teach. There was not much of a description so I read the reviews. I tried one of the packages when it arrived.

Made my mouth feel funny, it had no taste, messy, so I threw in the garbage. Afraid to give to my kids. Plus it was made in China.

As a busy mom, I was scrambling for what my daughter could give her class at her Valentine’s Day party. I saw Fun Dip and decided to try it. Each pouch had a spot where my daughter could write the name of her classmate along with her own.

At the end of the day, she was all smiles. Her friends loved the special treat! I will definitely buy again.

Delicious little candies! Had the perfect amount of individual packets to give everyone in my nephews class one for their valentines day party. Also enough for us each to enjoy some as well. Will most definitely be buying these again in needing g ti pass out candy.

It’s a hit.

We love Heinz ketchup on Mac and cheese, grilled cheese, and of course French fries. My husband loves to put ketchup on fish and chips even, I know, it’s different 😋. Nothing tastes as good as Heinz, I know we tried others and always end up back with the real thing.

I grew up on this stuff as it was made in a factory in the town I was born in, from the tomatoes that were grown locally. Unfortunately a new company let staff go and started making it elsewhere. I’m not even sure if it’s still #Canadian anymore even.

A must try, if you haven’t yet though, it’s the bomb. #foodie #cooking #weeknightmeal #momlife #influenster #voxbox #family #dadpproved #kidslovethisstuff #condiments #sauce #tomatoketchup.

This ketchup. Oh man. If I could tell you how much I love this ketchup, I would, but alas, there are NO words. I’d say this is a valuable item because it’ll save you from buying a ketchup bottle every few weeks.

Homestay its the best ketchup I have ever had. I think it is very popular since you get it in different countries. its packaging is easy to handle. the ingredients make it taste unique. the truth can not be missing when shopping groceries.

it is always accompanying my favorite foods. When I go out to eat it is the ketchup that they give me in different restaurants. They have it in a bottle or in a sachet so you can easily take it anywhere.

Have you tried this ketchup before?.

Over the years I’ve used Lipton Onion Soup and Dip Mix for many different things. Yes, you can make a wonderful onion soup dip mix but you can also put it on chicken breasts that you cook on the stove.

Just take a frozen chicken breast put it in a pan with a drop of olive oil then put the Lipton onion soup mix on top and let it cook with lid on @ 10 min. , turn it over and put the onion soup mix on the other side of the chicken, lid back on for @ 10 more min.

and your done with juicy chicken breasts that don’t take a lot of time but taste like you’ve cooked them longer than 20 min. So, by the time you get rice ready and a green ready, dinner is done. Dinner in @ 20 min.

I also use it on veggies while cooking them sometimes.

Lipton Beefy Onion Recipe Soup Dip Mix is a good dip mix. The beefy Onion dip mix is very affordable and cost a little over an dollar how amazing is that. I use the beefy onion dip mix is very delicious and I use for various meals.

For example taco Tuesday instead of the taco seasonings I spice it up some with Lipton Kitchens Beefy Onion Recipe Soup Dip Mix.

For a real French onion soup I take the mix and do this: take 3 red or yellow (or both ) onions sliced very thin, then halved, sautéed in coconut oil until golden, a splash of vinegar, a pinch of sweetener, a tablespoon of flour stirred into the sautéed sliced onions for a cupla minutes, then add it all to the just now boiling soup pan of the Lipton Onion Soup and simmer for 20-30 minutes.

It’ll need a little more water than the recipe on the box so I have the water kettle also on simmer and add as needed (wing it on the viscosity) during (or after) the 20-30 minutes of simmering. Toast a cupla pieces (whatever fits your bowl) of French sourdough, brushed both sides with olive oil, lightly dusted with garlic powder, place the toast on top of the soup mixture in the bowl, top with shredded cheese of your choice, take your blowtorch for soldering copper pipe, blast the cheese till it melts making sure you don’t burn the toast, then enjoy a great bowl of French Onion Soup.

I could live on the smell alone! Fills the whole house with heavenly scents. True homey comfort on a spoon. Forget chicken soup for getting over a cold or flu. Fix up some good old fashioned beef broth with this seasoning, and your tired body will be filled with the energy to carry out your daily chores despite the illness.

Those in the know tend to add freshly squeezed lime juice (full of Vitamin C) and beef broth to these packets. You get a savory, high protein drink that boosts your immune system and provides you with long lasting energy to get through your day.

This is a quick energy back-up when winter gets you down.

I love this Heinz Ketchup as it has a great tomato taste that goes great on fries, hamburgers, hotdogs, meatloaf. I also love to use it for making homemade sloppy joe’s or porcupine meatballs. I like how it has less additives, less sugar and less salt.

It has a delicious flavor that is very good for several recipes. I also know that it is a trusted brand that I can find at most stores! I totally love it and I recommend it.

Ketchup is one thing in our house where I am a brand snob. And when it comes to ketchup, it’s only Heinz in our house. It’s the perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty and tomato flavor. Some ketchups are too sweet, but this one is perfect.

I don’t notice a huge flavor difference between the Simply recipe and the original. So depending on whether you prefer corn syrup or sugar, you’ll get a consistent delicious flavor either way.

I have been doing my own dipped nails for a couple years now. I have never had a most stubborn powder! Its a beautiful color, but no matter how much activator, or top coat that I apply, it still comes out extremely sandy and rough.

No matter what I do. I have many colors from this brand and so far this is the only one that I have this problem with.

After going to salons for months and getting dip powder nails, I decided to get some product to do it myself at home. Mind you I don’t expect to be perfect at them and have them look like the salon. The gel and powder do not set well together and the only way to not get everything in a giant mass by the cuticle is to not sip but press the mail on the top.

It is very clumpy no matter how smooth of a layer of gel you put on your nail. The instructions state to use a nail file and buffer, but it would require a Dremel to even remotely smooth the product out.

Overall a waste of my money.

I love the dip mixes. They are so handy for everything. We like taking them camping for our foil potatoes. It comes in serious handy individual packets. And the dip is the best other ones are too watery I like these best.

Great for make dips for veggies. I have never tried this product in a soup before. This product is okay but nothing special to me. I prefer hidden valley.

I always buy this to make dips for parties. It’s a powder and I mix it with sour cream or greek yogurt (always try to sneak this past my hubby, never works haha). You just have to make sure that you mix it REALLY, REALLY well, otherwise you will end up with pockets of unmixed powder and biting into that is not fun.

Nude chic is my favorite colour dipping powder. It’s a beautiful shade of peach, a warm toned nude that looks good with everything. I love these prodip dipping powders they work amazing for their budget friendly price point.

My favorite nail salon uses anc dip powders and they last very long! My nails grow out quick so there’s always a gap from my cuticles by the end on week 2! I really love the gray colors. #113.

You have to take your time applying it and you have to be careful not to get the base coat or top coat on your skin. The results are only as good as the application. Make sure cuticles are pushed back and trimmed.

You have to buff and file your nails a lot after putting the second coat on. They do the same process at the salon if you get a dip manicure but they use the power filing tool. I found that a rectangular buffing block that you can get at any beauty supply store for around $1 works really well for buffing.

You can’t over-buff it, the color is throughout the nail, so keep buffing until the nail is smooth. Also file the edges on the side of your nails to make sure the product is not adhering to your skin before you put the top coat on.

They nails will lift if it is attached to your skin. I purchased the no-drama mama color and it is a little more on the mauve side than the picture shows, but am on day 6 of my manicure and my nails still look great.

It is a good neutral color. If you want the color darker, apply 3 coats using the same process instead of two. I used the powder with another brand starter kit and it worked fine. You have to practice with the application but you can really get salon quality nails for a fraction of the price.

After a month and a half of having acrylics again my nails finally grew to a size I no longer needed fake nails. Once off they were very weak and brittle. I heard of dip nails and didnt want to go back to a salon so I decided to try Ultas Dip nails and omg.

I love it. Easy to use and gor being my 1st time doing it, they came out pretty good if I say so myself. It was faster than a saline visit. I took my time to prep and cleanly cuticles. They have only been on 3 days but no chipping or dulling and my nails are super strong and I dont worry about them breaking.

I had been seeing a lot of adds for DIY powder dip nail sets. I couldn’t decide which one to order online so I went to my local ulta and decided to try out this brand because if I didn’t like it, I could always return it and get my money back.

Definitely not returning, only going back for more colors. Bought the base coat, top coat, activator and one powder. Also bought a cuticle oil and it all came out to about 50 bucks. Worth it. I spend that much money on a dip manicure at the nail salon.

I enjoy doing my own nails I’m pretty good at it so I would continue using this product. If you’re not good at doing your own nails or haven’t gotten this done at a salon I would suggest having someone else that knows the process to help you.

Beautiful packaging. Easy to follow instructions. Takes a bit of time, but it does when you have them done in salon too. No complaints. Turned out great for first try. Lasted 15 days before I had one crack and a few small chips – I’m very rough on my hands.

Very pleased with how well these hold up. And they didn’t lift at all, which is my weakness as I will pick when they do. They are also easier and quicker to come off than gel, although I don’t do a clear top and only one natural layer as I don’t like them really thick.

Instructions are easy to follow but technique needs practise. A great alternative to a nail salon during lockdown. Advice about the kinds of Emery boards to be used should be noted. Wearing a mask during filing is recommended (by me!).

These are great colors! But very translucent – I would recommend using a dip base to get a more vibrant color. Overall not bad! Would purchase more colors for sure.

Berries colors love this perfect for Valentine’s Day love itty omg love cuccio a lot
