Love the colors

I bought this for my wife and she loves the colors. Bottle size appears the same as her other nail polish. The quality is good as she has other colors by this brand.

Fue buena

They’re good polished don’t get me wrong. I guess I just wasn’t a fan of them with my skin tone.

Good quality

I like the colors! I tend to buy bright colors and then miss the nudes so it was a must have!

This review is for the '6 Colors Skin Tones Collection Nude Brown' set, purchased in January 2025.Look at the product photos, and then look at my swatches. The colors are not the same. The 2nd to darkest shade is actually a deep mauve IRL (it's actually a really pretty color), and the 3rd color in my swatches is definitely a pink. I'm not even sure what color that's supposed to be in their product photo. The cream is a darker/muddier color IRL, and the 2nd to lightest color is more peach than the product photo shows.I've purchased many Beetles gel nail color packs now, and I've learned the hard way that the colors are rarely as pictured in the product photos. (Tip: the main nail swatch photos on white are usually very off, but the 'lifestyle' product photos that show the bottles and/or hands are usually more accurate in terms of color.)Either their main product photographer doesn't know how to color-match, or their quality control is so poor they can't maintain consistent color on the products they ship out. (I'm a commercial photographer and I know color. Many other brands on Amazon get this right- this company doesn't.)As a product, Beetles gel polishes are great. But trying to get colors you really like is an exercise in futility and ends up wasting a lot of time trying to look through review photos for swatches that show what the colors *actually* look like. I have spent *so much time* trying to figure out what Beetles colors actually look like once I receive them. I'm docking two stars due to this hassle.I've learned the hard way that if you want to buy Beetles polishes, you just need to find colors you *think* you might like based on the product photos, and then plan to return them if you don't like the *actual* colors you receive. Buy four or five sets of colors, and plan to keep one or two.It's unfortunate, but I see no way around this.

When you open the bottles, two of the colors look almost identical, but when you put them on or as I did on a test swatch, you can see a slight difference. You can always layer colors too. I have a weird pink color that is way too bubble gum pink for my age, but I bought a top gel coat from Beetles I think, that is sheer/almost holographic pink. It is perfect to tone down any too bright color. I think these would be a GREAT base color if you want to do any style writing along the edges with a darker shade or add gems. These are just perfect neutral shades for just about any skin tone. Or just a perfect shade all by themselves. As far as needing several coats, these swatches only have one coat on them, so two coats and it’s plenty! I’m always shocked when people complain about how small bottles are in certain nail kit sets. I think to myself, it’s a gel polish, it’s stays on for 7-10 days if done right, how often are people changing out these colors to need a huge bottle? It’s for the home user, not the salon owner. Just saying. lol
