    I have been doing my own dip for several months now to save money and I could never get it to last more than a week without popping off. I watched your video before my latest application and I am currently on week three with no chips or lifting! Thank you!!!!

    I'm SO happy to find a tutorial that doesn't involve buffing the natural nails! The whole reason I started doing my nails was to break the habit of biting them so they could grow and be healthy. It never made sense to scratch the hell out of them when my main goal is to keep them from being damaged.

      lol buffing if to allow it to stick and stay on the nail. i.g. u buff when getting acrylic to prevent lifting through havung a better hold of the natural nail if that makes sense. it like when clay makers scratch clay when sticking pieces together

      ​@Danica Wilson Agree! It annoys me when I tell them to be careful of my natural nail and they still get the electronic drill out.
      I had a salon have 2 ladies do this to my hands 3 times through before I said something. They basically sanded my nail so far down that you could see the pink skin underneath and then my nail broke 2 days later because my natural nail was so weak underneath.

    I've been a licensed nail technician for 20 years and I'm struggling with dip powder. I stumbled upon your video, and everything you said about prep and application is exactly right. I've been practicing on myself because I can't in good conscience offer this as a service until I get it perfected. I realized watching this video that I have basically been treating the dip powder the same as I treat acrylic powder, and this may be the problem. I think I prep and finish too aggressively, so I'm going to try your techniques (and products: I just ordered the glass cuticle pusher and the Mani Boss base, activator, and two colors) and see if I get better results. Mani Boss was sold out of both the top coat and the gel base/top coat so I'll use mine and hope they play well together. I appreciate how articulate you are, I'm interested in watching your other videos to see what else I can learn. Thank you also for the product links and discount codes! :)

      It wasn’t working for me at first either then I realized it’s better to do one layer on each nail instead of doing three layers on one nail at a time.. if you do one layer on each nail then do the second layer and so on it gives it time to dry.. i use her method lol

I did find the glass cuticle pusher and nail file. My nails are really short right now, so I am not able to shape them beforehand. I am trying to grow them out. I'll just need to use the one with my Dipsy set for now. I haven't tried it yet. I also ordered a clear powder thanks to you! -Katarina*

    Thank you so much for such an informative video I just recently let my nails grow out for the past six months because what happens is you go to the salon and you tell them to be easy with filling on your natural nail… and what do they do every freaking time they take too many layers of my natural nail off I do not have thick nails to begin with so I’m going to order the glass cuticle pusher and bring it in with me and have them use that and if they need to use anything, I will bring a very super fine nail file for them if they want to gently buff the top and that’s it. I’m just so tired of these women destroying my nails I did buy a kit which may be our attempt to do them myself but the whole purpose going to a salon is to not have to do it yourself, but I really wish this industry would get caught up and stop with a crazy filing down your natural nail bed till you have paper thin nails!!
    And it looks like you ONLY use that tool on the matrix area and the size and that’s it with your dehydrator so I think I will bring this video with me next time as well and then they can have a look at it

      @@tatosilva3280 Hi. The best two that I can recommend are ASP resin glue and ANC resin glue. They work the best. I was using ANC long before I became a certified nail tech. A little goes a long way with both glues. Make sure that they are nail resin brush on glues and not regular nail brush on glues (those are for doing tips and other press ones). Resins resemble closer to a gel consistency while the regular brush on glue is runny like water (free flowing).

    It’s been a month since I brought my mail dip powder kit from beetles brand. 3 weeks since I started using & testing it out on myself. I was a little disappointed in liquid applicators sizes, which holds half of product. The dip powders are really small than I assumed. The quality is really good! It’s a great starter for someone who wants to save money and do your nails at home! Less work to do compared to poly gel and using monomer. Which as a strong overwhelming smell. I can’t get use too. It’s a bit messy and lots of dust as usual, if you shape and buff your nails before and after! Prepping the nail is super important when using dip powder, this video is well spoken!! I will be buying my own glass nail filer and cuticle pusher, bristle brush as well as buffing blocks. Thank you!

    Wow! Mind blown. Like many others here, I was too rough on my nails the first time around removing a salon dip. My nails are trying to grow back but some won’t stop splitting into the quick or layers lifting off. I dipped the worst ones in clear just to protect them. I am a total newbie who wants nails and COLOR! So much so I have dozens of dip jars hidden from my hubby lol with more on their way. And the glass cuticle pusher will be in the mailbox soon too. I did my right, dominant, hand yesterday (don’t judge…) and it took me approximately 7-8 hours 🤯 with adding tips. Whose dumb idea was it to add tips? On one stinking hand!!! UGH! So glad I found you this morning Chelsea. I’ll be trying your way on the left hand after lunch. There are so many things I love about your video I can’t even name them all. Not buffing the nails, a layer of dip base as a base coat (brilliant) clear, concise instructions and explanations are just a few. One of the biggest?

    Je me pose une question : la base seule peut remplacer la couche de clear qu'on met habituellement en premier ?
    On voit souvent pour les couleurs vives une couche de clear pour protéger l'ongle et donc 4 couches en tout, ici vous en mettez 3, le rendu est encore plus fin c'est top ! La tenue sera toute aussi longue dans le temps ?
    Encore Merci mille fois, j'adore vos vidéos que je regarde de la France 🤩

I’m on my 4th or 5th set of dip nails ever and they’re getting better every time, but I’m struggling to shape and file my short nails. Any chance you could do a dos and don’ts tutorial just on filing? I seem to file way too much and don’t end up with an apex 😬 Thanks for all your help 😊

    I really appreciate your video. You are really good at demonstrating and explaining how to protect your natural nails and how to get good results. I have a few questions-what do you do to remove the dip powder? Do you give your natural nails a break from dip powders? Do you ever use gel polish instead of dip powder? Thank you for your video.

    • @SipAndDip
      @SipAndDip  2 года назад +2

      Thank you so much for your kind feedback 🥰 I use the hot water baggie method for my soak off. Here is the step by step tutorial for that if you’re interested!
      ruclips.net/video/shbTA_S-7bY/видео.html
      I typically try to keep dip powder on my natural nails to protect them so they don’t break. Right now I’m using peel base, so I’m not soaking in acetone. Peel base allows for easy pop off removal, usually within 1-3 days. To keep up with filming it’s great, but for longevity it’s not something I would use.
      Sometimes I’ll play with gel polish on top of dip powder! That way I still have the strength of dip powder and the quick application of gel 🥰

    Slapping the table! THANK YOU! I have been a newbie for far too long(I consider) because of the lifting. At first my nails were super strong, until I boo booed & covered them with Nail Off! For literally the past year I have been eating good foods & caring for my nails & the strength is not quite there but I am able to grow my nails out. & the strength is growing them out & clipping the weak parts. That is a biggie! I do follow others, & have tried some of their product & follow their directions. I appreciate you Chelsea! That color makes my hands clutch & place them under my chin! Swoon! 2 Thumbs up!! Happy Thursday!

    I loved your video. My daughter and law have been doing dip nails together and we both get a lot of lifting or the dip mail popping off. So, watching this I hope next dipping will help. I already use the glass pusher and love it. I was also using the blue cross cuticle and I am wondering if that should have ever be used. I also buffed probably way too much before and after. Thank you for your helpful hints!

    Wonderful, informative video. Thank you so much! I have one question for clarity. Your suggested alternative for buffing nails in prep is to use a base coat and let it dry, before adding powder. Am I understanding correctly? Thanks so much. Very new to dip powder, and I REaLLY want to love it. But it lasts a week for me before they start (literally) lifting and popping off!

    HiThis was an awesome tutorial. What if a Matte Finish was desired? Once the hardener is applied could that be the finished step?

    • @SipAndDip
      @SipAndDip  Год назад

      Absolutely! You can stop after the 2nd activator. You can also apply your 2 layers of dip powder top coat, buff it off, and then apply activator again. That will give you more strength if desired. There are also matte gel polishes and matte nail polishes too 🫶🏻

    Great video! I’m a dip newbie at only 2 months but I’ve been watching tons of videos and learning pretty quickly.
    But I do have a question about pulling the skin back when applying all the liquids...I saw you only pulling the thumb back, should I pull the skin away from every nail or is it only the thumb? Thanks in advance 😘

    • @SipAndDip
      @SipAndDip  3 года назад +2

      Welcome to our little nail community! 💗
      So I usually only pull back the skin on my thumbs because it is the hardest nail for me to get all the way to the sidewalls 😆 most of my other nails have skin that’s not as raised on the sides so I don’t have as much trouble. So totally personal preference! ☺️

    Question. Do you not create an apex as it's your natural nail? So if I use a tip could I follow all of these steps ?
    I LOVEEEEEE my glass nail file. It's an amazing tool

    • @SipAndDip
      @SipAndDip  2 года назад

      I typically don’t create an apex just to save on time since I film so often and to keep the videos short. But I absolutely suggest it if you have longer nails, flat nail beds, or need more strength 💪🏼 (such as when they crack or chip). If you use tips there will be more steps involved. Such a filing down the edge where it meets the natural nail so there’s not a ridge. Removing the shine on the nail tips and so on. I would definitely suggest building up an apex if you plan to use tips so you get the best longevity and wear time 🫶🏻
      Here’s another video I created that goes into more depth on building an apex depending on the shape to best prevent cracking/chipping. Hope this helps and happy dipping!

    • @SipAndDip
      @SipAndDip  2 года назад

      Hiiii! Welcome to dipping! That’s correct, my preference is to do 2 in color and 1 in clear. If you find you need more strength due to your lifestyle, nail length or shape, you can absolutely add more layers or build an apex. But for just getting started, 3 dips is a great way to start 🥰 you got this, happy dipping!

    Chelsea, thanks a MILLION for your simple yet detailed descriptions for all the reasons why our manis fail! Started DIYing my own nails approx 2 months ago & now my nails are trashed! All my fault for doing alotta the things you caution against! I was a flood-er, too much filing & I'm paying the price with weak, bendy nails & one cracked thumb! GRACE (as you so sweetly said)! Thankfully my nails grow quickly, so when the damage is gone, I will resume dipping using your explanations as my guide! Love the coconut oil tip too! My question: Is there a gel builder out there that does not require a UV light? I do not have one & have no intention of getting one bc my 57 y/o hands don't need any add'l light! Thanks again for your amazingly simple vid! Your nails & mani are my dipping goals from now on!

      Hey Ruthie! I am so sorry to hear about your nails 🥺💖 we have all been there! We aren’t learning unless we’re making mistakes so I completely understand! I’m not sure of any builder gels that don’t require a lamp. I do know they sell gloves that you can wear to protect your hands in a lamp though! You could also do clear dip powder if you’re wanting just a clear base to protect your nails 💖
