Very helpful, I just started to do my nails and both times I got one or two nails cracked the very next day 😔🥴 I’m definitely trying this next time! Thanks☺️
Hi Chelsey ! Since you’re my go to channel for dipping powder, I wanted to ask you: is pedi possible with dipping powder ? I would be interested in such a video 😉 Thanks 😊
@@CoulHeurePapier it’s totally doable! It may require some gymnastics 🤸♀️ though 🤣 I personally use nail polish! So many dip powder companies are doing matching polish + powder sets 🙌🏼
Could you please do a video or point to one where you do dip powder, activator, and then a gel top coat and how to avoid gel peeling off a base/color dip powder?
Thank you for this video. I’ve been learning how to do my own dip nails & only ever made it to 10-12 days, as they take a beating with my wheelchair lifestyle. I learned a lot from this video!!! Looking forward to seeing how long I get out of this set using your tricks!!! They look way better already. 🙏🏻
Just got the model ones dip kit from Amazon and have tried 2 manicures now. Both have chipped and cracked. Thanks for the tips- hoping the clear strength is where it’s at. Your Cajun Shrimp mani with short squares is flattering on you.
I usually do color for my apex too! 😆 but I had so many say they’re free edge was much darker from all the layers so I thought I’d give clear a try 🥰 I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving week!
Thank you so much for this video. I am very new to dip powder, only done 2 manicures, and one of my nails has a crack. So annoying! will try the apex method next time. Thank you.
@@dianehedricks7860OH MY GOSH 🤣🤯 40?! That’s incredible!! Do y’all do pot luck style?! We invited another family over! So only plus 2 😆 not quite 40 🤣😆
Hi So ive had cracking as the main problem. The next day they always crack. I gave up! Tried to do how you showed , two layers in the middle,two over the nail , a total of four. The three nails cracked the second day... I thik im done doing them. I even changed the nail shape from square to almond. I hafe to say my nails are on the thin side now but wven when they are healthy and strong its the same thing. I use revel system. Any advise? Ty
Use poly gel. It’s healthier, solid, and you can add length and strength. And it doesn’t kill your nails like the dip/acrylic. You’ve gotta learn to work with poly as it’s sticky, but it’s honestly much easier than the dip.
Hi Chelsea, these nails came out gorgeous. I love the color I have a question though I tried to do dip powder using the gel liquids for the very first time and I love it however the very next day the tips of my nails are chipping. Do you have any suggestions as to why this is happening thank you.
@@OmarOmar-hi3ng so I figured out how to fix this after you apply your dehydrator add some type of bond or primer. So that goes in between your dehydrator and base coat. It helps the gel stick way better I haven’t had any chipping after that
@@jessicamaurelli5238 oh wow ! Thanks for the master tip I really appreciate it , i have very fragile thin nails , that brake so easily , after i did this beautiful set on my natural nails , i hit dresser and my nail chipped! I was so upset i also did only 2 coats , how many coats of powder did u do?

Can you talk about protection while using dip powder ? Today i opened my bottle and some of the particles flew out and accidentally inhaled some of it 🥴 my nose hurts lol this is the second time that happens to me 😅 (I’m not a professional, and I’m barely starting with this)
Oh no!! I hope you’re feeling okay! 💕 I would suggest wearing a mask and dipping in a well ventilated open area. Here’s a recent vid I did on the topic of “dip flu” which I share tips + tricks for dealing with the liquid odors and powders 🫶🏻 ruclips.net/video/702k6kABmW0/видео.htmlsi=j7zSfK-sQ3j4av61
I’ve done 4 manicures already with this method and they keep chipping around the tip of the nail😢 could it be because of the products? I have modelones dip powder and liquids… Is there another one you would recommend from amazon?
Thank you for the video! I don’t know if is anything eles e that can help to prevent cracking but I am doing everything you mentioned in this video and I am getting almost every single nail cracked within the first week 🥲🩵
Very helpful! I've been having issues with the corners chipping as well. Are some brands of dip more prone to chipping than others? I've been using Joya Mia dip powder, although I think theirs goes on thinner than OPI's.
I feel that some liquids + powders are more prone to chipping because they’re thinner. In that case I would add more layers to try to supplement for the thinness 💕 the tall tell sign is if you experience chipping/cracking with 1 brand and then try another brand… and no longer experience the troubles then it’s probably the products!
Friend, you are so incredibly detailed with the explanations. So good and so thorough. You Queen!!👸
🥹💕 oh my gosh!! Girllll! You are such a sweet friend! Thank you!!
Do you have a video on how to prevent natural nail breaking under dip? Thanks!
Very helpful, I just started to do my nails and both times I got one or two nails cracked the very next day 😔🥴 I’m definitely trying this next time! Thanks☺️
So pretty I love the square shape and red on your nails! ❤ I hope I find the patience for the apex. Lol. 🤣
Thank you!! The shape is growing on 😅💕 it definitely takes patience shewww lol! I usually stick with my 3 full layers and call it a day!

This was so helpful! I’m a newbie and will do my second try following your tips, thanks!
How many total layers of clear and color 6 ?
Can u maybe give tips for people with longer nail beds?
Just got the model ones dip kit from Amazon and have tried 2 manicures now. Both have chipped and cracked. Thanks for the tips- hoping the clear strength is where it’s at. Your Cajun Shrimp mani with short squares is flattering on you.
Thank you so much!! Good luck with your next mani 🙌🏼🩷

If I add a third layer of topcoat, will that make my dip polish last longer?
Hi, is base powder and clear powder the same thing? (I have a lot of problems with cracking so going to try it your way today 😊) thanks x
GREAT INFORMATION ❣️❣️❣️❣️ Thank you for sharing ❣️❣️❣️
Thank you friend!! Do you have any plans for Thanksgiving? 🥰🤎

So sweet of you to respond . I actually recently got poly gel but i need moulds. Def excited. Thank you so much!
hello ! :) before you used the second layer of activator, did you only brushed off the dust?
no alcohol wipe?
These are beautiful! Question can you do this same thing using the gel method?❤
So beautiful!❤❤❤❤

Great instructional video. What’s the name of the cuticle oil you demonstrated? I could see the name on the bottle.😊
I totally forgot to link it! Here it is 💓 amzlink.to/az0USLNHzMxMv
Thank you for the helpful videos
So glad you like them! 💕 thanks for watching!
Loveeee your videos!
Thank you so much! 🥹💕
So u don’t use the activator after every layer?
Nope, just once I’m done with dipping and after filing/shaping
If I just wanted to wear clear only would I then do a full coat of the clear going up to the cuticle?
Yes! So I would do all of the same steps except just clear. I would try to make sure after you build up the apex to have between 2-3 full layers 💓
That was extremely helpful. That is the shape of my nails and my preferred color. Thank you so much for sharing!
Really?! We must be on the same wavelength this week! 👯♀️

I don’t know if is anything eles e that can help to prevent cracking but I am doing everything you mentioned in this video and I am getting almost every single nail cracked within the first week 🥲🩵
What did you do different that will prevent the color from being darker over the middle layers?
By using clear dip powder for the apex. The color layers are all the same depth.
She is correct! I used clear to build the first 2 layers rather than color. That way the color isn’t changed 💕
Beautiful color. Great video too!

Im getting chips the next day of making my nails 😪😪
That can be super frustrating! 💓 have you tried adding an apex or more layers?
@@SipAndDip i have done like 6 layers and the same day have cracks
Same with me. Maybe I should try changing liquids
Pretty simple , put a clear gel top coat , then stickem under the light
I’m so lazy, I’ve never tried the apex method 🫣 I should try it next time I do dip because I get cracks pretty bad with my square shape!
The square is so notorious for it 😮💨 if you give it a whirl I’d love to hear how it goes! 💕
