In its never-ending quest to sell me trendy beauty products, Instagram has been sliding Nailboo into my feed for the better part of a year. The dip powder manicure kit has become wildly popular for two reasons: DIY nails have been on the rise thanks to the popularity of social media sites like TikTok, and the ability to do said nails at home continues to get easier and easier. So, if you've been searching for a detailed Nailboo review, look no further.
After testing it out, I've learned this is one of the easiest at-home dip kits for beginners (and trust me, I've tried lots of options). Unlike some more advanced kits , Nailboo is made expressly for those who aren't quite sure how to dip from home or maybe don't know how to dip at all — perhaps because they've never even gotten a professional dip manicure — by simplifying the complex process with labeled products and step-by-step instructions. DIY manicures beyond the average two coats of nail polish can either end in disappointment or turn out rather decent.
Either way, doing it yourself saves you money on biweekly fill-ins and the occasional broken nail replacement. So, just how easy is this system and is it worth throwing down $55 (and up) for a starter kit? Whether you're looking for inspiration for Nailboo colors or want to learn more about the Nailboo removal process, I tested out the entire system and I'm sharing everything I found. Keep reading for my full tutorial, complete with in-depth Nailboo instructions.

It's a perfect starter system if you're just getting into dip nails or you want to give a fun gift. It's not the most advanced system, and if you're used to giving yourself fancy manicures, you may want to spend a few more bucks on a professional kit.
(Note that this picture was taken nearly two weeks after the manicure — not bad, right?) Where to Buy the Nailboo Dip Kit Nailboo has three different dip-powder kits ($81-$148) to choose from: the first option comes with one color, the second comes with four colors, and the third comes with six colors. You can also buy individual colors, like the one I tried, Modern Mint ($14), and the brand's bestselling shades Peach Please ($14) and Beige Baybee ($14). If you're looking for a shade that's just as great in summer as it is in the fall, try the trendy Blueberry Milk ($14) shade (which just so happens to be everywhere right now ), and of course the Barbiecore pink shade Necessary Pink ($14).
The shade Pop-Arazzi ($14) is also great if you're looking to try out the galaxy-nails trend that's all over TikTok right now. Maggie Panos was a senior editor for PS Voices..
