i did mine myself with dip and they are 1.5 inches long had them in for 3 weeks now - no lift, no breaking and i lift and have hit them during this time.
They look so good! I love SNS nails. I bought the Kiara Sky kit from Amazon and it’s amazing it’s really easy to use. I had trouble with polygel nails and the dip powder kit is really simple
Personally, I find SNS stronger than an acrylic overlay or shellac. To be fair, I don’t usually have fake tips. But as someone who uses their hands a lot, picks at their nails and is fairly busy, it holds up really well! I also love that the colour is built in, so it won’t fade or look messy/ chipped 3 weeks in. Usually salons in my area don’t use coloured acrylic powder so it’s usually just regular nail varnish. Edit: They look so natural! Defo getting this colour next time
Powder gel is my fave. Less stressful on your nails compared to the other gel manicures. This is also the best nails I’ve seen you get done professionally IMO. She did a fantastic job. I’m sad she’s not in nyc 😩😩😩😩
LOVE THESE VIDEOS! Thanks so much for putting the salon info and price, it helps so much. I love trying out new salons and watching your videos really helps decide where to go next!
I’ve been doing sns with super long tips for about 7 months and I do a lot of hands on work and have only had one breakage, I think it’s a good option and completely fine to get long tips
I actually get sns dip nails because I work with my hands a lot (knives/heavy boxes/machine maintenance on the daily)....granted I don't get extensions, but I find they keep up stronger (and don't chip) for when I have to work hard but also meet with clients and look professional. P.s. love your nail vlogs ❤️
for reference, if you get dip powder nails, they are actually one of the strongest forms you can get on your nails on the market right now. I work in a jail and I have dip powder nails with tips on 85% of the time with little to no issues.
I’ve been getting Sns for a few months now and I love it. I get it on my natural nails they have grown so much. Next time I’m going to do ombré... which I would normally get with acrylic so I’m happy to know it can be done with SNS
For the curve that you were talking about... I think that if you ask them to pinch the sides of your nails *slightly* just after they apply the activator it will help to give that curved look that you’re looking for. 😊 I’ve seen it done on my nails when I got dip at the salon and I’ve done that on my nails as well when I do my own dip powder sets and it helps.
Love your nail videos! Just a few terms to be corrected, SNS is a brand of dip powder/nail products and not a method(dip powder). Also the step after she dipped your nails is called the activator which hardens the dip. I don’t expect anyone to know the terms, but I’m stating so people learn the terms.
Love your baby boomers! Look great. I became allergic to the monomer in acrylic nails, and now gels I cant get either. Including no chip :( However dip doesn’t contain the same ingredients and so far I have no issues.
I’m watching this because I literally JUST got my dip powder. My Aunty works in a nail shop so she was able to do mine. I’m in the back on the couch rn lol 😂
Licensed tech in SC and i find that dip powder is better when shorter because of the strength, but as long as you arent in a heavy duty job then theyre fine when theyre long. Just make sure the tech can build an apex for strength using dip, if you get it. And also, dont let them dip straight out of the container. Normally there should be a recycle system that they can pour onto your nails instead then whatever is left over should be thrown away.
I love sculpted nails, but I guess it’s not possible here otherwise it would ruin the whole point of saving your nails the damage later on/using powder. Cant wait to try this!
I saw a glimpse of the U.V. Light machine. Did she use that? And if so, why? I've seen other videos where the IF machine wasn't used. I need to know the full process. I would like to get my nails dipped.
How does it come out when you do them on natural nails ? I usually get a gel manicure but recently my friend got dip on her nails and it was like an acrylic nails but less harm
Hiiii, i was watching ur vid and i was wondering what are full set nails? and this is my first time getting them done, i've always put press on nails. and i've always wanted to get sns. when they do the dipping powder do they always put the fake nail on?
no offense to you or the nail tech, I'm confused cause i feel like i see on the internet everywhere that you aren't supposed to dip your nails in the powder b/c it can infect your cuticles? i mean how serious is that, is the powder just for you? thanks for posting the video, the nails look nice.
It looks like she was trying to taper in the square instead of regular square.... also sns is its own brand , dip is the process itself. Most of the walk in salons do whatever they feel like doing, not what you actually want 😂😂😂 but they’re fast
I'm not sure about sns dip powder but, I get gel dip powder with extensions and they are not nearly as damaging as acrylic extensions! I hope that helped a little!
Dip is different to Acrylic. Its great for if you have thin nails that don't wear Gel well or you wanting a thinner nail. Acrylic is definitely for longevity when they are done right. Alot of technicians don't do the acrylic properly and end up destroying the natural. its really down to a technicians forte. But as a FYI SNS is a brand of dipping powders etc, its not the procedure. I use SNS, its amazing but it looks like you technition wasnt using SNS in general. She looked like she was using a SNS base and Chisel powders. You get this in alot of places and generally there isnt a problem with mixing brands. I will tell you though, adhering brands are designed to be used with thier own brands. youll find different powders will act differently with the bases etc thus sometimes causing thicker nail, dryer nail etc and sometimes it can be the cause of a shorter wear of the nail and lifting. when a nail tech trains they are trained in a service and recommended to keep this service within the brand they are trained in. I.e SNS uses SNS product. Gelish uses Gelish Product and so on. She did do a beautiful job though and honestly i think proceedure wise she was fine. regarding your shape, ask for square, that should give you what you were after, techs can also use a pinching tool to give you that curve if they have one :D
Got the same look, but mine were long coffin shape. Really pretty but yea were thin and broke so fast. But I do work with my hands alot alot. So I understand, but still lol
As a licensed nail technician, dip powder, the way she is doing it, is very unsanitary. If the person before you had fungus on their finger and dipped their nail in that jar, it is now contaminated. Some places will use a separate container and pour over your nail and as long as they throw it away, then it is sanitary. Dip powder nails is more or less just gluing acrylic powder on your nails. I wouldn’t say it is or is not more damaging than any other nail technique.
I would stick with gel. In school to be a nail tech and with gel your able to build an apex which gives strength to the nail, when you dip you have no support at all.
I love SNS BUT it always crack. It's really annoying because I pay $40 but cracks once I get home. Any advice? Or should I tell to do it a certain way?
sarah godwill I’ve never experienced cracking! I wonder if they dehydrated the nail and when the do the base layer, do they do 1/4 of the nail then half of the nail then the full nail? In my experience, this is the method they used for the base layers and then they go into the actual sns color! Hope this helps!
with sns, do not get them super long. i had mine for literally one day and one cracked and my nail started bleeding and the same thing happened again 2 days later
She cut away the sides because you asked for a coffin nail shape. Also its a lot easier to file them when the nails are flat rather than them having a strong c curve
Do people realize dip power and acrylic powder are literally the same thing. Dip powder is just a finer acrylic power and it's applied with resin instead of with a brush and monomer
who the fuck pays 70$ for nails?? I pay 1$ for each one of my nail polishes from a drugstore and my nails litterally look perfect! But i'm also very carefull with my nails and i'm good at making them, so this might be the reason as well...
I posted a video just like this too! ruclips.net/video/YG5JblgHsDY/видео.html It was me reviewing SNS nails and getting them done for the first time ever!

She did a really great job. Hard to find a tech that does such a good job. Especially on ombre.
i did mine myself with dip and they are 1.5 inches long had them in for 3 weeks now - no lift, no breaking and i lift and have hit them during this time.
They look so good! I love SNS nails. I bought the Kiara Sky kit from Amazon and it’s amazing it’s really easy to use. I had trouble with polygel nails and the dip powder kit is really simple
Jess I need to buy that!!! Omg I’m getting it next!!
I love my Kiara Sky too!! I want to buy so many colors 😬
Kiara sky is my favorite dip powder system so far!! Totally worth $110

KIARA SKY
Me too, Nicole Diary is a great ans affordable system

Your nails always look so good
-small RUclipsr ♡
I’m watching this because I literally JUST got my dip powder. My Aunty works in a nail shop so she was able to do mine. I’m in the back on the couch rn lol 😂
I have had acrylics and mine honestly looked so natural
I'm a bit late but, how much do they usually cost?
Ooh they really look beautiful 😍✨
They look so good! I’m going this weekend to try out the dip extension nails, hoping they turn out as good as yours!
Love them!!! So beautiful 😍

Hi Brianna, where do you do nails in Sc??
I love sculpted nails, but I guess it’s not possible here otherwise it would ruin the whole point of saving your nails the damage later on/using powder. Cant wait to try this!
Really lovely, probably the nicest set of dip nails I've seen on YT thanks...……………………..Xv
I saw a glimpse of the U.V. Light machine. Did she use that? And if so, why? I've seen other videos where the IF machine wasn't used. I need to know the full process. I would like to get my nails dipped.
She uses the drill in that direction bc that’s the direction the drill rotates. It has a setting for forward motion and reverse motion.
how did you tell the nail tech. what you wanted? I want to get these nails done but I don't know how to explain it. can you help me out?
Ashley Ishaug they are typically called “Baby Boomer” style nails 😊
If you look up Baby Boomer nails on RUclips a BUNCH will pop up, hope this is what you’re talking about hope that helps ☺️
I really like it. I like to try it too. Thanks for showing this video!
More nail blogs please!!!!
How long do they stay on? I’m getting them soon
YAAAASSSSSI LOVE THE FINAL RESULt !!
How does it come out when you do them on natural nails ? I usually get a gel manicure but recently my friend got dip on her nails and it was like an acrylic nails but less harm
Do the nails break easily?? What about if u go swimming and got them wet ?
Hiiii, i was watching ur vid and i was wondering what are full set nails? and this is my first time getting them done, i've always put press on nails. and i've always wanted to get sns. when they do the dipping powder do they always put the fake nail on?
I had them, loved them, but they were hard to get off.
no offense to you or the nail tech, I'm confused cause i feel like i see on the internet everywhere that you aren't supposed to dip your nails in the powder b/c it can infect your cuticles? i mean how serious is that, is the powder just for you? thanks for posting the video, the nails look nice.
So much prettier than regular acrylic
It looks like she was trying to taper in the square instead of regular square.... also sns is its own brand , dip is the process itself. Most of the walk in salons do whatever they feel like doing, not what you actually want 😂😂😂 but they’re fast
Does sns nails dry quickly?
Love ❤️ these nails vlogs
The rotation of the efile is why she goes from left to right not right to left
I love my sns nsil and I can do everything.
So are extension tips with dip powder good for your nails? Are they as damaging as acrylics or they are better for your nails?
I'm not sure about sns dip powder but, I get gel dip powder with extensions and they are not nearly as damaging as acrylic extensions! I hope that helped a little!
Maaula products themselves usually aren’t damaging. It’s the prep, application, finishing, or removal that damages the nail plate.
My son served a mission to the Phillipines,too! :)
How long do your nails last?
What type of polish is that?
This is so informative, thanks so much 😊
The uv gel with tips burn a lot especially the first time.
Your nails look gorgeous!
i know this is old but does anyone know the glue they use to apply the nail tips?

I love those videos 🙂
How long does it take to get sns on both hands?
what chisel color is this?
in my salon there is just uv gel and i think it is better than a tip so idk
what color dips ?
Hi love! Where is this salon located?
Love love!
Oh La La, where is that eternity band from? I LOVE IT!
Jeremy Nuckolls @shopccluxury😍🥰
What is the color of the pink?
Cindy sorry I don’t know the colors but if you look at the first clip is said the number. I’m not sure if that helps!
Got the same look, but mine were long coffin shape. Really pretty but yea were thin and broke so fast. But I do work with my hands alot alot. So I understand, but still lol

Arizona Norton thanks for commenting!
Arizona Norton yes but sns does vitamin e in it and helps ur nails grow stronger hence why people don’t like doing acrylic
As a nail tech you should know that dipping powder is not an environment where bacteria can grow.
Gorgeous!
What’s the differences between dip and gel? I wanna try dip, but gel is the only thing that has ever lasted on me since I do combat sports.
I would stick with gel. In school to be a nail tech and with gel your able to build an apex which gives strength to the nail, when you dip you have no support at all.
dré vau I should mention I’m doing gel polish just on my natural nails
@@lissyclay then yes dipping would be stronger 😊
Damn she works fast!
beautiful 😍😍😍
Sending my support here
what shape do. you get
I love SNS BUT it always crack. It's really annoying because I pay $40 but cracks once I get home. Any advice? Or should I tell to do it a certain way?

In my experience, this is the method they used for the base layers and then they go into the actual sns color! Hope this helps!
sarah godwill could be too thin, ask for an extra layer
Stephanieee1130 I will definitely do that next! Thank you.
INMYSEAMS Yes it does! Thank you. 💙
with sns, do not get them super long. i had mine for literally one day and one cracked and my nail started bleeding and the same thing happened again 2 days later
Thanks for sharing your experience! That’s what I was thinking with these nails cause of the thin apex!
Tell me why i thought she said 15 dollars i was like ouuuuu. I only pay 25 for mine or sometimes 30 depends
I remember commenting about ur apex XD
She cut away the sides because you asked for a coffin nail shape. Also its a lot easier to file them when the nails are flat rather than them having a strong c curve
u said that she did two nails at one time but all of your clips are her doing one nail at a time...
Can you get the colors please ?
No nail technique last more than 3 days for me cause they chip 🙄 everyone says it’s cause I wash my hands too much for work 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I'm a nurse and dip powder is the only technique that lasts for me. I don't add a tip.
Raquel Paul thank you, im an HHA I tried dipped and they chipped on me on day 3. 😣
Hello are u a Mormon and also your nails are so beautiful
Gorgeous
💕💕💕
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
No, we add tips bc the other options are garbage... Asian shops do their own thing though
Do people realize dip power and acrylic powder are literally the same thing. Dip powder is just a finer acrylic power and it's applied with resin instead of with a brush and monomer
Who else loves dip.
What was the name of the nail technician? 😊
Leila D Bella!
my sns is $30
dip and acrylic are the same thing just different application methods don’t be fooled
Please be careful! Did you see how dirty her nail bits are?
who the fuck pays 70$ for nails?? I pay 1$ for each one of my nail polishes from a drugstore and my nails litterally look perfect! But i'm also very carefull with my nails and i'm good at making them, so this might be the reason as well...
