When I got my nails done at the salon, I always found that OPI powders seemed to last longer. Maybe just an impression, but the black was definitely one of the best she ever used on my nails.
I learnt a trick of another youtuber, instead of using slip solution use base coat on your brush in a little dish and add more to your brush as you need it, exactly the same way you use slip solution , it never sticks or gets runny and loose from all the liquid. Totally changed my veiw on polygel, So much easier to build a full nail too. Thought it might help.xx your my favourite dipper, xxx
I have a bottle of Bubble Bath in my OPI polish tub! I was a huge OPI fan for a long time and then when I became a Zoya brand ambassador, I fell in love with their polish and gels.
What a cute lil mani, love the pop of colour you added. Oddly enough, as you were talking about the iGel products, my doorbell rang. There's my most recent order sitting on my doorstep, lol. Great morning!
I LOVE this color too! I came across it because I'm in nursing school needed a color to blend with my nails, and the nail tech did Bubble bath in gel and OMG, I fell in love. Beautiful natural color.
I love OPI!! “I got the blues for red” is my all time favorite color....I have been waiting for this video! Glad you like OPI too! Thanks for the video! 💕
I just did my nails in Monday with OPI Funny Bunny Dip. OPI and Funny Bunny is definitely my all time fav!! I did three dips and though it looks very nice, it’s lacking that hint of purple that drew me so much to the color. I do like the powder and I thought it applied quite nicely. I used Gelish Foundation and Top Coat rather than the liquids. So far, they are holding up really well with no yellowing.
Hi Marla! Just wanted to say thank you so much for your wonderfully helpful and entertaining videos! I've recently gotten into doing my nails and have finally found the self care I've been looking for. I work with teenage foster youth providing mental health services and these past few months my job and everything seems to have been weighing a little heavier. I started to feel the burnout that is always talked about but never seems a reality until it hits. Through your videos and the dip process I've found a way to put aside a tough day by escaping for some time and practicing a little self care. When you say you don't know why people choose to watch your videos, know that this is my reason why
OPI Bubble bath is my absolute favorite!!! I was so happy to see that I could get it in dip AND it was just delivered! Can’t wait to do my mani during your live tomorrow!!!!!❤️
I love the cherry stickers..when I do dip and stickered I put my stickers in before my clear layer and then do my clear top layer and it makes them last the whole time...its wonderful..love your work!
I have a idea that seems to work with soaking off. Get marbles or small pebbles put them in the bag with acetone. Move the marbles around while allowing the rice method , to keep acetone warm. The marbles will make acetone come off quicker. Just my little trick . Great video
OPI Bubble Bath was my go to pink for French manis when I went to the salon! But like you, before dip, OPI brand was my favorite! I still have so many regular, beautiful polishes just sitting there now 😢
I was always so drawn to the Essie colors! 😍 but omgggg I love this bubble bath color! Wow! It sort of reminds me of revel Erica! I say yes to another swatch party 🎉 🍷
Ok, but is it me or did you say “Katie’s cuticle skincare oil”? I played it a few times and I wasn’t sure.... I was like, who’s Katie and what happened to Candi? 🤣🤣. Anyway, I 🖤 that color on you and the stickers just tied everything together!! I would love another Live Swatch Party 🍷 Just say when and I’m there!! Hopefully Brian will be there as well, reading questions and keeping your 🍷 full!! FYI....I received my Mia Secret Monomer and 2 of those silicon nail training hands so I can start practicing different things, beginning with acrylic w/monomer 😬 wish me luck!! Enjoy your weekend!!
Love how this turned out! Opi was the first brand I truly loved. I had so many nail polishes from them but like you said they only last so long. Bubble bath was a favorite as well as Lincoln Park After Dark, vampsterdam, and taupe less beach. 💗
Well there you have it....a beautiful pink! Really usually stay away from light colors - but will definitely try Bubble Bath, it looks great! Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely love this color and this mani!!! Definitely a trip down memory lane!! Yessssss on the Live Party!! I will totally make sure I make myself available this time!! Haha!! Seriously can't get enough of your vids!!
I LOVE this mani! The decals are so cute and I now want to get Bubble Bath! Right now my favorite clear is Double Dipp’d but unfortunately I got glitter in it! So now I only use it for glitters and I use my Mia Secret (also a fave) for solids.
I have several of OPI powders. They’re awesome! The dark ones will stain your fingers so you’ve got to constantly wipe your skin around the nail so it won’t get everywhere. So worth it though!
Love it! Same - funny bunny and bubble bath were my go to’s at the salon. And my go to red opi is We the female- it’s the best deep red ever! Thank you for the review!
Totally down for a live!! I bought 9 dips and 9 gel polishes from iGel last night lmao. I have no idea how to use the gel polish so that would be super helpful too. And no apologies for the length of the live, I personally love it and for whoever doesn’t can watch it in increments lol. Bubble bath looks so good with your skin tone btw 💅🏼
Zooty clear is pretty amazing. I have also had good luck with Revel Vivien. I just used some iGel clear but I put 3 layers of only clear because I just needed some quick protection without deciding on colors and it wasn’t as clear as I hoped but I’m sure it was user error...It was perfectly clear over a color
Oh, I might have to check out this brand. I'm a pink kind of girl. I have about 7 or 8 Revel's pink shades. This OPI Bubble Bath might just be the pink that I've been searching for.
Yes I love that color and love OPI. I have already gotten 15-20 of my favorites in dips from a cosmoprof. I have a friend with a license 👍 got BB, mod about you, funny bunny, and a bunch more. I love pinks and neutrals and mostly live in those.
OPI Bubblebath was one of my favorites back in the day and I love it as well! The night that you mentioned it I went and bought it lol. I didn’t want to chance it and it be sold old once you raved about it.
I love my SNS CLEAR DIP powder it's called sheer & AEON CLEAR powders are amazing also I use both liquids with the powders but on the cheapr side I dont mind ROSSI dip liquids or there powders but ROSSI AUSTRALIA went under due 2 covid 19 and the lockdown... I recently got a PRO DIP kit from SUPERNAIL and i'm looking forward to giving it a go. I really love your videos they ar gr8 content 🙂
I haven’t tried zooty but Sparkle & Co dp 90 is probably my favorite. Though I can’t justify the cost since I can get the same result from Mia’s Secret for dirt cheap. 🤷🏻♀️
I still have OPI bubble bath in my polish collection! 🤣 I was obsessed with it for a long time too! Bubble bath, tiramisu for two and let me bayou a drink! I ALWAYS had one of the 3 on my nails! Lol love OPI! And would love another LIVE! 🥰🥰
I had tiramisu for two in a small bottle of nail polish for a few years and I liked it so I bought the dip form. I swatches it, and the dip was darker than the polish I had 😐 so idk if the polish I had was just old and exposed to sun or something or if dip is just naturally darker. I’ve heard that dips/gels/polishes can vary in color (even though it’s the same color just in a different form)
@@Peaches8002 I know they can vary a little bit too... My bottle is kinda old too but I think it's still true to color. I haven't seen or tried the dip powder yet though. I'll be so sad if it's different. That stinks. Is it still a nice color even though it's a little darker than your polish?
Hey girl great vid ...excited for the upcoming foils vid for sure with igel beauty clear I only have 3 different clear dips rivel, panda dips nd of course igel not sur wht one my fave between the panda nd igel 😁💖💅💅
@@MarlaKris sweet thn u can be the real tester for me Haha wht u like better the igel beauty one or the panda one when u can ...i cant deside kinda want to say igel but in all fairness I only got a mini clear of panda cause I got the 5pk u suggested with ur code 😁💖 I love all the ones I got just most were filled on the lower side ,but after talking with them to when they say ther suspose to be fill.. I feel some are still under to me. they're working with me no issues other thn tht but ya love ther selection all so beautiful.
Bubble bath will always be #1 in my book. I have the regular polish and gel polish.....I told myself not to buy the dip.....but..... 🤨🤣...more than likely I will
That's a really pretty color but I can't see spending $19.99 for 1.5 ounces when i can get two ounces on iGelBeauty for $6. I like the live swatch parties! Also, do you have photos of your iGelBeauty swatches on IG? I'd love to be able to go back and reference them when I'm ordering. I ordered a couple things from iGelBeauty where the color was not what i thought it was going to be.
I'm wondering if you have tried the opi dip liquids yet? I haven't seen the best reviews of the top coat in this system and I would be interested in your opinion.
I have a question for you. I have just watched 2 videos with people using GEL BASE coat for dip nails instead of Dip base coat. First have you ever tried it and if so what is your opinion. I never would have thought to use Gel Base coat but it seemed top work. Anyway I just love your videos. I look forward to watching them.
Yep I’ve used gel instead. It works perfectly and they last just as well! For me tho.. I find that it takes longer and I use more product but it’s completely doable. I have a couple vids on it.. search “Marla Kris dip with gel”
If you’re looking for a dip top coat, the sparkle and co glossy 2.0 BUT I 100% prefer a gel top coat over dip nails. Modelones is my go-to for that (yes, you will need a gel lamp - any lamp over 48 watts will work perfectly) OR you can apply 2 coats of your fave regular polish top coat! Cap those edges!
I'm wondering if u know how big of a difference this is to like the pinks in the revel nail french kit or the kiara sky french kit( I got them for my birthday lol) I love this color
I’m a new nail tech and totally clueless about dip powders. My bosses friend is trying to sell me 53 opi dip powders for $500. Is it worth it ? Does it last along time ?
Oh yeah - that’s a great deal! Dip powder usually goes for between $12-15 per oz so depending on how much is in each OPI jar, I’d say do it! It’ll probably last you a LONG time.
When I got my nails done at the salon, I always found that OPI powders seemed to last longer. Maybe just an impression, but the black was definitely one of the best she ever used on my nails.
Cookingdiva I felt the same way!
I learnt a trick of another youtuber, instead of using slip solution use base coat on your brush in a little dish and add more to your brush as you need it, exactly the same way you use slip solution , it never sticks or gets runny and loose from all the liquid. Totally changed my veiw on polygel, So much easier to build a full nail too. Thought it might help.xx your my favourite dipper, xxx
Very pretty color! I really like the Kiara Sky clear. I am definitely up for another wine and live swatch night!! 🍷🥰
I have a bottle of Bubble Bath in my OPI polish tub! I was a huge OPI fan for a long time and then when I became a Zoya brand ambassador,
I fell in love with their polish and gels.
Martha Stone never heard of Zoya! You’ll have to email me and give me all the details!
What a cute lil mani, love the pop of colour you added.
Oddly enough, as you were talking about the
iGel products, my doorbell rang. There's my most recent order sitting on my doorstep, lol. Great morning!
Lisa Kostick Lol heck yeah!!
When I was going to the salon before quarantine, I started using OPI dip. My go to is Funny Bunny, but love Bubble Bath. 😊
Funny Bunny was my gel fave! Found her in dip form, not exactly the same, but so good!
I love the funny bunny tooo!!
Super cute and what a perfect pastel/sheer pink! Love how you dressed it up a bit with some fun stickers!
I LOVE this color too! I came across it because I'm in nursing school needed a color to blend with my nails, and the nail tech did Bubble bath in gel and OMG, I fell in love. Beautiful natural color.
So pretty!! YES, do a monthly live!!! But on a Fri or Sat night so we can justify getting tipsy!!! lol xoxo Gabrielle
gablofaso well duh 😂
Bubble Bath is my absolutely favorite color EVER!! Second is Lincoln Park After Dark!! Both are OPI!! I will be getting Bubble Bath for sure!!
Hi Marla, Yessss do another live PARTY

Pretty soft pink. I guess I need to add one to my collection. Looks great.

Christina Gonzalez aww thanks girl! It’s my absolute pleasure! 💜

Excited for Igel clear mani. Also would love to see you do a milk bath mani with flowers.

Check the Walmart website. That’s where I ordered mine from. And it wasn’t very pricey if I recall.
Yes !!! Please another wine party that was so much fun ... but could someone please take my credit card away so I don’t order another 40lbs of igel
Bubble Bath OPI is a top favorite of mine. A go to when I want a more natural base

I love Tammy Taylor clear. Yes, it's pricey, but I love it for dip and dap. It goes on like gel to me
Nail Struggles ooh ok - I’ll have to check it out! Thanks girl! 💜
Yes I love that color and love OPI. I have already gotten 15-20 of my favorites in dips from a cosmoprof. I have a friend with a license 👍 got BB, mod about you, funny bunny, and a bunch more. I love pinks and neutrals and mostly live in those.
Steffi P always helps to have a friend with a license!!

Shadrika Martin Lol did you love it in dip form?
I haven’t gotten around to using it yet but after watching your video it may just be my next mani lol.
Love this!! OPI was my go to polish too.
I love my SNS CLEAR DIP powder it's called sheer & AEON CLEAR powders are amazing also I use both liquids with the powders but on the cheapr side I dont mind ROSSI dip liquids or there powders but ROSSI AUSTRALIA went under due 2 covid 19 and the lockdown...

I really love your videos they ar gr8 content 🙂
The live was fun. Let's do it again.
I missed the first wine and swatch night plz do another
You just made me order Lisbon Wants Moor!! ❤️
I haven’t tried zooty but Sparkle & Co dp 90 is probably my favorite. Though I can’t justify the cost since I can get the same result from Mia’s Secret for dirt cheap. 🤷🏻♀️

Kayla Strozina yes the color isn’t terrible, it just seems more suitable for the fall rather than an all year nude.
beautiful set nice pink
Hey girl great vid ...excited for the upcoming foils vid for sure with igel beauty clear I only have 3 different clear dips rivel, panda dips nd of course igel not sur wht one my fave between the panda nd igel 😁💖💅💅

Hey Marla. Beautiful as always.... ❤️
Love that color as well.
Love watching your videos
I love the color. Thank s for the filing. Lol.... Thank you Much 💜
Love the color!! 💫💖
Hi Marla I was wondering what dip powder kit you would reccomend :)
PS: Marla could you try the lavender violets dip powder on amazon? Thanks
The only clear dip powder I have ever used is by SNS, their natural set sheer.
My favorite was OPI’s Pompeii purple but they don’t have it in dip.
Shelly A booooo!
What’s on your left thumb please?
So cute as always 😍
Have you tried sns dip powder stuff? They seem to be a bit pricier compared to other brands I bought.
Barbara Grimmette I have it! Haven’t tried it yet. Soon!!
Marla when you use your gel polish top coat is it 30 or 60 seconds?
I'm wondering if you have tried the opi dip liquids yet? I haven't seen the best reviews of the top coat in this system and I would be interested in your opinion.
Ok omg I have to get that color!
Great color. Love the filing. What speed do you use? I know all files are different. Just wondering.
Stacy Falcone I use the IGel efile and for contouring it’s usually at a 10-11 when I’m using my dominant hand and a 9 with my non dom.
@@MarlaKris I have the Kiara Sky file and use about the same speed. Pretty new at it. Can't wait to get as confident at it. Time and practice. Thanks.
Interestingly, on Amazon you can't buy this powder without a beauty License.. :(. I'll check out Walmart today!
rumpzafamily I know! So weird.
I have a question for you. I have just watched 2 videos with people using GEL BASE coat for dip nails instead of Dip base coat. First have you ever tried it and if so what is your opinion. I never would have thought to use Gel Base coat but it seemed top work. Anyway I just love your videos. I look forward to watching them.
I’m curious about the longevity of that. I never use my gel base so that’s a good way to use it up if it works!
Yep I’ve used gel instead. It works perfectly and they last just as well! For me tho.. I find that it takes longer and I use more product but it’s completely doable. I have a couple vids on it.. search “Marla Kris dip with gel”
What is your favorite top coat? I am not loving the top coat that comes with the dip kits. I love Opi but not loving the top coat.
If you’re looking for a dip top coat, the sparkle and co glossy 2.0 BUT I 100% prefer a gel top coat over dip nails. Modelones is my go-to for that (yes, you will need a gel lamp - any lamp over 48 watts will work perfectly) OR you can apply 2 coats of your fave regular polish top coat! Cap those edges!
I'm wondering if u know how big of a difference this is to like the pinks in the revel nail french kit or the kiara sky french kit( I got them for my birthday lol) I love this color
Tierra Waller it’s def not as sheer as the French pinks. This has way more opacity.
Do you need to cure the poly gel under us or led
Karen Gould yes ma’am you do need to cure in an LED/UV. Gel won’t dry on its own
I’m a new nail tech and totally clueless about dip powders. My bosses friend is trying to sell me 53 opi dip powders for $500. Is it worth it ? Does it last along time ?
Oh yeah - that’s a great deal! Dip powder usually goes for between $12-15 per oz so depending on how much is in each OPI jar, I’d say do it! It’ll probably last you a LONG time.
