Beetles Gel Polish

What's in the range

Gel colours come in 15ml bottles or in sets of six or twenty shades. Finishes include magnetic cat-eye, jelly and glitter, and there is a HEMA-free collection. Nail glue, rubber base, base coats and no-wipe top coats handle prep and finish. For extensions, Tipex tips come pre-sculpted, with the apex already built in, and press-ons come in as many as 16 sizes. Lamps, brushes, chrome powders, builder and liner gels and steel cuticle tools complete the kit. There are also seasonal gift boxes and lucky bags, which contain a random selection. The brand says it released over 700 shades within a single year, and its starter kit is aimed at first-timers.

Delivery and returns at a glance

Spend over £45 and UK delivery is free; under that, a fee is added at checkout. Processing alone takes 4 to 7 days, then Royal Mail or Yodel deliver, which can take up to 8 business days more. Anything unused can go back within 30 days for a refund or swap. Before posting anything, write to [email protected], which will supply the address for returns. Return postage is on you, except where an order turned up damaged or incorrect. There's no restocking charge, and money back should follow 7 to 10 business days after the parcel reaches the brand.

Who it suits

Beetles suits people doing their own gel manicures, especially beginners who want polish, lamp and tools from one order. If you need nails done for an event next week, the processing time makes ordering early essential.
