Finally someone made a video about dip drying problems. It was so helpful thank you! Even in the supply store people don’t know these things. I’m really happy I found your channel.
I like to use gel base. It doesn’t matter how long or fast put it in the light and it is done. I change thing up. Sometimes I do acrylic or hard gel or poly gel and sometimes dip. I do like dip it is the easiest way. You show how to do so many different designs. Thank you for educating us.
I've been dipping for nearly 4 years and prefer a fast drying liquid. I didn't realize I did until I tried a slow drying formula and was just so frustrated waiting! I occasionally do an ombre or baby boomer, but can move fast enough that I really still like the faster drying liquids!
I just want to say thank you for your dip tips! The tip of pointing your finger downward when applying the top coat is a game changer! I am on my 3rd summer dipping my nails (I take a break in the winter) and have lost the lifting battle the entire time. But I utilized this tip when dipping today and it worked! I don't have top coat pooled up around my skin and it looks great! I also love the idea of the precision tool! I had a similar tool and it also helped immensely! I also pushed my folds back between dips and that also helped so much! This is the first time I have ever been excited for my mani to grow out lol! I'm excited to experience no lift for the first time 😂 I love your videos! You do a wonderful job! Thank you!
🥹🫶🏻 you have made my day! Thank you SO much for not only watching + supporting, but sharing your story. I am over the moon to hear you love your mani and have found some tricks that work 🙌🏼 you’re doing amazing and I’m so happy you’re here!
@@SipAndDip you're so very welcome! I do have a question about the top coat, if you don't mind. Do you have any tips on how to not activate the top coat bottle after the seal protect step, by chance? I have exclusively used Kiara Sky products and they have great customer service and advice, but their advice on waiting two minutes for the seal protect to dry and rubbing it in did not stop my top coat bottle from hardening. I bought the refill bottle and now I pour it into a separate container, which helped a lot. My current problem is I go through 3 of the replacement brushes per dip due to the top coat activating and hardening on the brush. It is aggravating, but I make it work. I was wondering if you've ever had this issue and if so, how did you solve it?
That can be super frustrating with some of the faster drying liquids. Especially when you’re starting out. I hope you are able to find a slower drying brand that you like! 🫶🏻💕 I’m happy to suggest some if you need
Love this video! So many helpful tips. My favorite liquids these days are Risen Legacy. Medium dry time, very strong (hardly ever get chipping or breaks/cracks), and a shiny top coat that dries in about 5 min.
This video was perfect! I been looking for a slower design friendly base. I like faster dry time for one color dip Mani. Helps me finish faster. But for the designs I wanna try I think I’m need a slower drying base. Awesome video Chelsea Thanks
You're so welcome! And you sound just like me 😆 I swap my liquids constantly for whichever manicure I’m doing. It really varies so much based on what I’m planning on doing 🫶🏻
I still can’t get even dip on the sides! It looks amazing in the middle but the color isn’t sticking on the sides. Do you ever dip back into your base before you dip?
Hi I love your videos and you’re the only video for nails that I watch. I learned so much from you. I live in Ohio, so with the drive time to be slower? Also, how many minutes should I wait before I clean them with a brush? Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching and supporting ! 🫶🏻 I really appreciate it! I would say if you don’t have a fan running, direct air circulation by you, then it’s likely it will dry slower. However, it will depend on the brand if it’s faster - slow drying too 💗 it’s difficult to say on how many minutes since it can vary on which brand you’re using. I would suggest doing each nail first before dusting off just to be safe
Hi I have a quick question how old should you keep your base liquids and topcoat’s and also dipping powders where is there? No time limit like with make up?
@@OmneyasWISH 🥺🫶🏻 I’m sending you love! I hadn’t seen you in the comments in a little bit and got worried. I hope that the change of season and sunshine brings you some peace! 💗
Sheww I feel you on this! 😆 I remember when Kinsley was born I used to file and buff and then come back later to do activator and top coat 🤣 I broke 1 manicure up into like 3 sittings just to finish 🫣😆
To be honest… it’s the one of the worst ones I’ve ever used. So much so that I declined a sponsorship with them after trying it. 🫣 it could be a fluke occurrence. And I hope they’ve changed the powders since my feedback.
I changed to odorless liquid (color my world) and it has been terrible my nails ship and lift within a day. I tried everything and feels like never dries. The top coat is even worse 😭
That can be really frustrating! It could be that you need more activator. So applying a very generous layer of activator after shaping + wait the full 2 min. I have a dedicated video that covers top coat troubleshooting if you’d like to watch ruclips.net/video/uJtc2I8UFIc/видео.htmlsi=UuhcLK_IeeHc_5BZ
@@miriamdromano5729 true! I’ve seen her do designs with revel as well which she said was fast drying so was just curious cause I’m in the market for liquids and not sure which brand to go with 🤷🏻♀️ it’s sounding like there isn’t a good/bad option but more of a preference!
Oh yea of course, in the video when’s she’s doing baby boomer she’s not going so fast so I would think the dip well liquids are medium dry time. I have revel liquids they do dry pretty fast. But Chelsea would know best she’s tried dip well. If your a beginner i Recommend something not too fast drying.
@@miriamdromano5729 thanks! I’ve been using the Azure brand she reviewed like 2 years ago and the liquids are fast drying which is fine for simple stuff but I’m ready to try the fun looks lol I also hate the bottles the liquids are in cause they’re super small and so easy to knock over when you’re trying to have a system going 😂
Oh yea I know about the knock overs no fun, I was wanted to try more designs too I was gonna do the Opi liquids.Well I hope you find the liquids best for you 👍
Damn this video should have been up last Monday. I smudged my top coat bad - and I resoaked it off!!! I didn;t know I could have just buffed and activated. Thanks so much! 😃
Which dry time do you prefer and why? 🫶🏻

Hey, thank you so much!. I figure out what I was doing wrong, because of your teaching. Thank you again.
such pretty colors I love the fix it videos
Thank you so much for watching! 🫶🏻
Just ordered a modelones kit & have watched 3 of your videos, so far. This is very informative & I appreciate what you share. New subscriber!!❤
New to dip. The base drys before I dip. Thanks for this. Think I need a slow liquid. ❤

Thank you! I have learned so much from watching your videos! You have inspired me to try some different techniques! 😊
Very informative and packed full of information. Thanks Chelsea.
So happy to hear that! Thanks for watching and happy FRIDAYYY! 🥳🥳🥳
I missed the doggie clips🤣

Those are all phenomenal qualities for liquids! Thanks for sharing!! 🫶🏻💗
How do you know if you have a slow, medium or fast drying time product?
Honestly I like them all because it makes it easier to do certain designs. Like ombré I love using slow dry…
I totally understand!! It makes the question “which is my favorite” so difficult to answer 😆

Hey Chelsea did your nails ever start curling while using dip powder?
AWESOME TUTORIAL!!!! I do gel dip method, due to dip flu, but this was awesome for those that can use dip liquids!!!
I alllmost added in about using a gel top coat if you struggle with dip top coats but I feel like that just opens up another can of worms 😆
@@SipAndDip it does!!!!😂😂
I still can’t get even dip on the sides! It looks amazing in the middle but the color isn’t sticking on the sides. Do you ever dip back into your base before you dip?
Thank you so much! This was very informative! I love your videos!! ❤
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and supporting! 💗💗💗
Do you find that you run into problems mixing brands; I.e. one brand for the base and another brand for the activator?
Great video and helpful hints for trouble shooting Chelsea!
So glad you found it helpful! 🥰 thanks for watching! 🫶🏻

How do you know if a liquid is slow or fast dry without buying them all?
Hi I have a quick question how old should you keep your base liquids and topcoat’s and also dipping powders where is there? No time limit like with make up?
I have had mine for several years with no issues 🫣🤣 however, I have seen brands each having their own suggested shelf life for their products
Great video Chelsea
Thank you so much! I was thinking of you the other day, how are you doing? 🫶🏻💗

Well done! Thanks!!
Thank you so much! 🫶🏻💗
This was great 🤗 I usually go for a medium dry time, but I’m curious to try a faster one… #momlife 😂 also this color combo is gorgeous!

What do you think about Saviland products not looking for an endorsement just an opinion since I purchased them
To be honest… it’s the one of the worst ones I’ve ever used. So much so that I declined a sponsorship with them after trying it. 🫣 it could be a fluke occurrence. And I hope they’ve changed the powders since my feedback.
Great video ❤
Thank you so much! 🫶🏻
Can you use Iv lamp to dry gel powder top coat
What brand is the glitter dip?
Are there any Amazon brands that are slow dry?
Hmmmm… I’d say the beetles and Azure 2 in 1 are close to being slow! Here are the links *affiliate

Thanks girl
Thanks for watching! Hope your week is off to a great start! 🫶🏻💗
I changed to odorless liquid (color my world) and it has been terrible my nails ship and lift within a day. I tried everything and feels like never dries. The top coat is even worse 😭
I’m so sorry to hear this! She had issues with her recent batch so I would send her a message on Etsy so she can make it right for you 🫶🏻💗
Does humidity impact dry time?
Absolutely!!
Is there an odorless base with medium dry time?
I would say Revel’s is the fastest odorless I’ve used. It’s faster than Sparkle and co and Color my world. I would say it’s close to medium!
@@SipAndDip Thank you!!!
My top coat never wants to dry 😫 what am I doing wrong?

How would you categorize dipwells dry time???
Chelsea did a baby boomer nail video using dip well liquids so it’s probably a medium to fast dry time.
