Written by the company
This is our story. We’ve all have experienced those moments when we walk in a nail salon and figure out that doing a stylish nail costs much more than our budget. What do we do? Do we just stop taking care of our own beauty? Or do we just save up for it? Neither. These are not our solutions. That’s why we decided to start Beetles. We want to provide the best quality of nail polish products with the most affordable price to people who take care of themselves, who want to present the best version of themselves for different occasions, and who enjoy doing nail arts in their own space. We developed a new system to produce the nail polish gels as fast as possible to match up with the fast fashion’s pace. We also designed different kits for people based on their needs, for example, for starters, we understand the struggles of choosing what products to start with, therefore we picked the necessary items and combined into a Starter Kit which became many American girls’ first nail DIY kit. We have developed more than 700 different colors in a year, updated for every season, every holiday, and every occasion. Whatever mood you feel for the moment, whenever you need for special occasion, whoever you want to impress today, we want to be there for you. To embellish your day, to be bold, to be yourself. To be Beetles. - Be Bold, Be You, Be Beetles -

I brought the beetles product from…
I brought the beetles product from Amazon bc I saw a YouTube video and I said great. Something easy than dip. I love dip but messy. Anyway, I finally tried the product yesterday. Very easy to apply, but after a couple of minutes to an hour, I started to feel bad on my thumb. I tried to see if it goes away but the pain became stronger. I barely could sleep. Finally, I went and took off the product and the nail. I felt relief. It still hurt and my nail is nowing trying black like it's bruised. I will not recommend this product. I wish I read all bad reviews of this product first. This never happened to me before. I'll stick with the dip. People listen, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT 😒 BE AWARE.

Save your fingers
Was so excited when I got these. Using them for the first time wasnt a great experience.
My nails are completely ruined, bruised black and purple, thin, fingers are cracked peeling and extremely painful and caused my lips to swell too. I have body rashes and my fingertips are swollen.
Do not buy beetle products. Something in it isn’t right.
Save your fingers and trust the negative reviews.

Believe the negative reviews. Save your nails
On the surface it looks like this product is great. Cured well, good range of colours that are well pigmented with good consistency. However, there is something in this formula that must be incredibly toxic, especially in the darker colours, as the skin under my nails is now absolutely ruined, calloused, burned and stripping my nails away from the beds. I've never had this happen with any other nail product. Believe the negative reviews. Do not buy from Beetle.

Avoid avoid avoid!!
Avoid avoid avoid!!! Had been using and have bought most of their colours for myself to take a reaction to the polish itself! Luckily I have not long introduced nails to my business and haven’t been busy to harm a client! HOWEVER I have been left with bruises on my nails, which are literally black and purple! My fingers have swollen up and cracked (causing severe pain!) and to top it off a rash on my chest neck and arms! After reading other reviews I have seen this has happened to A LOT more people!! Would not recommend to anyone!

Did someone say contact dermatitis?
This product gave me contact dermatitis! Warning. The product is cheap for a reason. They are not make well and they are not safe. Do not buy. I am not having to go to an allergist to determine the exact ingredient that gave me the allergy. But I am assuming it’s the high level of HEMA that are in this product.

Misleading with bad customer service
Ordered a full gel nail starter kit which isn’t cheap, It was advertised with a free Black Friday gift set of a nail lamp and polish set, when it arrived my free gift was only a pack of eyelashes.
Contacted customer services as they were misleading people and they didn’t care. Bad customer service. I wish I’d read others reviews too before purchasing as the main set is a Christmas gift and I don’t know if I want to give it now incase it’s as toxic as many of the reviews say!

Please DO NOT use this product
Please DO NOT use this product! My sister used this product and within an hour she said her fingers were throbbing and removed the gels to find she has severe bruising under her nail bed. I then used it myself and woke up in the night feeling exactly same! My hands felt like they had been slammed in a car door, I was in agony! I removed the gels but am still left feeling very tender and sore. Do not use this product!

My experience
The prices of the nail products were great.. Came threw the post in a reasonable time.. One item was out of order so they emailed and said they were refunding.. Mind they did forget but when I emailed saying I didn't get a refund they processed it straight away

This is toxic… please be aware it…
This is toxic… please be aware it contains a HEMA!!!
Two of my toenails fell off, I had swollen feet and toes.
My fingers went numb and sensitive, my nails cracked and skin peeled.
Then my whole body itched and I came out with a rash on my neck, arm and face.
It’s a severe allergic reaction to the toxic HEMA they use in their polish!!!
