Thank you for all your wonderful manis. This one is beautiful as usual, and your video format is perfectly fine. I like seeing the dip powder and your nails. I’m sure everyone would agree. ❤
any chance you can do a video showing dip directly on builder gel (and tips?), without peel base, and the process of removing that dip to switch out the dip/color (including glitters etc)? for dips that last 3+ weeks instead of a couple days!
Beautiful as usual!! I have a question….when you showed how you can either buff your full cover tips at the end, or leave them shiny, I thought dip didn’t adhere that well over a shiny smooth surface like that, so you should buff the surface for better adhesion prior to applying the dip base to the full cover tips. I’m so confused 🤔….. Please let me know, Thanks!! 😉
Absolutely love your videos and i absolutely love this mani. A couple questions if you don’t mind. What’s on your nails before you apply the the base coat? How long did you dip before you felt like you had a handle on it? When is your next dip class? I would appreciate a video dedicated to flower dips. I eventually want to do a milk bath mani and I’d like to incorporate a dip with flowers. Thanks!
Hi!! 💖 What base coat are you referring to? Gel base coat or dip base coat? I used both in this video. Oh man… my first year of dipping I was very inconsistent with it. So I feel like it took me another 6 months on top of that to really get my groove. We don’t have a date for the next dip class yet. 🥹 but if I get more requests for it, I can get one scheduled soon.
Thank you so much. I’m new to SOL and I’m so impressed! Their products are stunning! Quick question. Do you apply peel base to the tip before dipping! Thank you, Carol
Hey! So usually people use gel polish over gelly tips. 99% of my nail collection is dip powder though. So rather than go buy gel polishes, I use my dip powders. I use the gelly tips to give my nails a shape and a nice arch, which is more difficult to achieve with just dip powder alone.
Hello! Thanks for the reply! I’ll have to show my aunt. She is a DIYer and just started using dip powder (I gave her my entire collection, I only use gel products on clients). I taught her how to use builder gel but dip powder is a bit harder to shape IMO.
Can I ask what method dip you are doing? I don’t know much about nails but my dip powder says to do a 45’ angle and this method seems like maybe it’s easier and not as clumpy?
Gelly tips 💙 They’re sooooo easy once you get the technique down. They’re already shaped and sculpted for you, it’s like the best of both worlds (pre shaped tips and builder gel into one system )
@@CaroleAnnette thank you! If you want your dip to last 3 weeks, would you put builder gel on top of your gelly tips or only underneath to adhere? Confused about order
It’s a cuticle cleanup tool from All Powdered Up. The other end of it has a wax tip to pick up glitters and gems. allpowderedup.com/products/multi-tool
So long! If you prep well and use a gel primer and gel base coat to apply the tips, they last 2-4 weeks. Some people can get even longer wear than that (I personally can't handle seeing the growth).
PLEASE keep your nails in the middle of the video! The majority of your tutorial is your nail practically cut off at the top of the screen. I can barely see what you’re doing. It’s very annoying. It makes me want to stop watching because you’re not paying attention.
Another great video! I'd love to see a dedicated one to dry flower dips. I think that would be really helpful as I am nervous about using mine.
Beautiful! Those blues are gorgeous! The flowers also! I have yet to try them!
The interesting of this video is that you used different product brands to apply the gelly tips. I love all your videos. Thank you!!

Beautiful manicure,love the flowered dip
Seaside reflections matches your desk cover. It’s so pretty. Great video thank you.

So nice! Yes, I would like to see more floral dips. Looks intimidating
Yes I would love to learn more about the flowers. Love this mani
Yes! Please show us a demo on just dried flowers!!! I have some on order and should be arriving soon! I have never tried working with them before! 😀
Omg 💙 My blue loving heart 💙💙 This is gorgeous 💙

Was so hoping there would be a video on this mani!! And yes please to a dedicated flower dip video. I LOVE them, but struggle so much
These are stunning love the flowers.

Beautiful mani!💙🙂
What do you do to clean all the dust off with after filing before going into top coat?
LOVE THIS MANI! Beautiful!

So cute !!!
Great video! Please do a flower placement video. :)

Do you have a video where you apply peel base and then dip over Gelly tips and a video on how you remove the dip from Gelly tips with peel base?
so pretty, thank you
Thank you 💙
Love your videos! How often do you change your jelly tips?
I aim for 2 weeks. But if they’re looking good after doing a couple manis, I try to extend to 3 weeks.
How do you remove or fill these??
Thank you so much. I’m new to SOL and I’m so impressed! Their products are stunning! Quick question. Do you apply peel base to the tip before dipping! Thank you, Carol
I love her stuff so much! You won’t be disappointed!
And yes, peel base on top of the tip - then dip over it.
Just curious..What is the point in dipping over the full cover tips? I’ve never seen this method and I’m a nail tech.

Great question I was wondering the same thing
Gorgeous
Awesome tyfs
Gorgeous! How often do you put new tips on?
Where did you get your fingernail stand?
Hi 👋. How many total layers of dip powder did u apply?
Can I ask what method dip you are doing? I don’t know much about nails but my dip powder says to do a 45’ angle and this method seems like maybe it’s easier and not as clumpy?
I lay the fingernail flat onto the powder. I find that I get a smoother application this way.
do you prefer tip extensions, or gelly tips, or builder gel on forms extensions? and why? Thanks for the video!
Gelly tips 💙
They’re sooooo easy once you get the technique down.
They’re already shaped and sculpted for you, it’s like the best of both worlds (pre shaped tips and builder gel into one system )
@@CaroleAnnette thank you! If you want your dip to last 3 weeks, would you put builder gel on top of your gelly tips or only underneath to adhere? Confused about order
Which drill bit do you use for etching the tips?
Can you provide a link for the sidewinder lamp?
Which nail bit did you use?
How do you remove the dip color without damaging the gelly tips?
Peel base is a good option (apply it before doing the dip)
Using an efile to drill off the dip color is the other best option.
where did you get the lamp from? love it!!
It is this one! I love it too! painteddesert.store/products/sidewinder-flash-cure-lamp-v2?_pos=1&_sid=f7a4ab8fd&_ss=r&ref=caroleannette
What do tool do you use when you clean up around the cuticle and sidewalls of the nail?
It’s a cuticle cleanup tool from All Powdered Up. The other end of it has a wax tip to pick up glitters and gems.

Can I ask what bit you use to file the cuticle area? These look amazing!
Thank you!
It’s this bit by Pana on Amazon

Cm you please tell which lamp you are using ?
Absolutely! It’s the sidewinder flash curing lamp by the Painted Desert.

Have you already tried the bellavena tips from doubledips? any thoughts about it?
I have their short (or medium, can’t remember) coffin ones! I haven’t used them yet 🥺
I didn’t see the link for the drill bit you used around your cuticles
That one I purchased on ALI Express and the seller no longer sells it. 🥺 I tried finding them on Amazon but couldn’t
How long do they last
So long! If you prep well and use a gel primer and gel base coat to apply the tips, they last 2-4 weeks. Some people can get even longer wear than that (I personally can't handle seeing the growth).

The dip powder should NOT be the focus of your video, your nails should be.
