The way I understand it and the way my nail tech does it is dip 3/4 of the nail the first and then the full nail the second time so it doesn’t build up too thick at the cuticle
I loved this video bc it is straightforward, each step is fully explained. It wasnt over explained and she didnt babble on endlessly like some of the tutorials. It was watch...learn...done! Thank you!
I love your method. I did dip nails recently for the first time and wish I had found this video first! Taking my true power back in how my nails are done.
The printer paper tip was brilliant! I would have never thought to do that and what a wonderful way to recycle unused powder back into the container. Thank you!!
Perfect timing! I just bought a dip powder system! I can't wait to try it. Love the tip for using a clear gel top coat. Makes a ton of sense. Thank you, Juli!
Thank You! I just did my first dip set at home and I hated the top coat so much that I dug my uv light out and finished with the clear top coat! This is by far the best how to video I’ve seen
I ACTUALLY don't like her method much. The gel polish over the top is a brilliant idea, however her application seemed very bulky at the cuticle even after filing. I'm a nail tech and I don't go all the way to the cuticle with each application. Try starting a small amount away from the cuticle and with your way up with each dip. Also, some of the dip colors will stain your natural nail so one coat of clear dip powder before you start the color dips really prevents that from happening if you are using over a natural nail without a nail tip over top. Finally, if you are having trouble with the finish gel that comes with the revel nail line not coming out shiny, wait longer for your activator step to dry before applying the finish gel and it will come out beautifully shiny.
@@oliviaandbella7126 nail career education is a great channel to watch you don’t want to buff the nail smooth before the gel polish you need to rough it with a 180 file so that gel polish can grip to the dip powder. Also using a gel base coat before top coat helps. When the nail is buffed it’s so smooth the polish peels off like a sticker literally within hours. I’ve done it 😂 but yea this helps so much. Her channel is great as I’m a nail tech myself and of course like we all do we learn and mess up and a client comes back etc we’ve all been there it’s no shame! Hope this helps sweetie! Happy polishing!
I'm so glad I found this, because I tried to add the top coat from my new dip powder nail kit today just to fix one nail, and I thought it smelled like superglue and took longer to dry than nail polish. So long that I couldn't possibly not bump into anything and ruin the finish. I'll be using a different gel top coat!
You could cut down a lot of filing time if you didn’t apply base and dip to your entire nail the first dip. Start about 1/4 of the way AWAY from your cuticle and side walls. Dip. Then take the base a bit further but still not all the way to cuticle and side walls. Then build from there with the entire nail being dipped. Just my tips as an at home nail enthusiast lol 🙈
@@hammypie yes, if you use a gel top coat it will need to be cured in a lamp. UV lamps are usually 60-120 seconds and LED lamps are usually 30-60 seconds. Depending on which gel product you get. If it’s truly “gel” it will always need a light to cure.
Wow I’m glad CZcams showed me this one 😂 tried round one and two on my own with dip powder and realized I needed some help, this was very useful and I like the gel top coat trick! I agree I don’t like the dip top coat and they NEVER DRY GOOD 😭😂
She uses an led polish that needs light curing instead of he dip nails top coat. Because the dip nail top coat takes too long to dry and isn't as shiny as a gel finish. 😁
Thank you for sharing these tips! Question, how do you do your dominant hand as far as the drilling goes? Is it possible to do it with just a nail file? Thanks!
do you find that with this method of putting the full cover tips on with gel allows them to stay on? im always afraid with full cover that theyll pop off
Ty, i am just about to try my first dip powder system i will be doing it over the weekend, i am happy you used full cover tips as i am planning on using full cover nails tips.tysmfs.
if you do normal prep,...like for prop adhesion for glue and/or acrylic then it will last...forever lol...I have thin nails so they intake more water and I still get 4+ weeks with apres dupe method
Every time I try to shape my dips nails at the end like you did the color starts to file off and I’m no where near the natural nail . Is there a reason this is happening and what can I do to avoid this ? I also find that even though I’m fast with dipping into the powder it seems patchy .
That looked so easy. I had decided never work with dip system, this video might have changed my mind. 😂maybe to only for myself and not for clients 😂 I still think it is not hygiene, not cost effective, as I never heard of someone having one product for each client, we have to sanitize everything that goes in contact with a client skin. You did a great job. Very simply explained.
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing! I'm a beginner and it's all new to me. What is the process when nails grow out? Do you fill nails with another dip?
Thank you for video!! You made me go out and buy the dip kit hahah! Your video really helped me do good for my first time!!! Only question I have is when I did my nails my base cost that you put on before the powder the brush got hard!! Did I do something wrong for it to go hard?
I absolutely HATE the top coat !! Will definitely be trying different gel ones next time. I use mostly iGel products, and just started trying the powders with their Dip system, instead of monomer & a brush. Well I checked the Dip glue and top coat ingredients and they are exactly the same ingredients.
I've watched many of these videos and you see them using a natural colour powder first before a colour. How come you didn't? This looks fab. Will try. X thanks x
Have you ever had any issues with "dip flu?" Do you wear a mask? I'm masked, have my dust collector and do my dip in a ventilated area and I still get chest and nasal congestion that lasts a few days...:(
This was perfect Juli !! Just started doing my own nails, great tutorial....Upon putting on the clear gel top coat, do you need to cure it under the lamp or just air dry?
I have started to apply my fake nails using gel and I love this method, yes it a bit difficult to keep your finger on the nail to hold it down bu tit does work
Thank you for going step by step so cleat. I do have a couple questions, if you decide to use a gel topcoat do you have to cure them? Also as far as a lint free wipe can I use a alcohol wipe?
What if I didn’t apply the activator a second time after filing, could that be the reason that the are breaking? Also I did 3 layers of dip and it’s very thin…. Is there an optimal thickness that they should be?
Beautiful, I have done dip powder at home, but I find its not hard on my nails and it chips the next day and starts crumbling, I apply it just like you did with the activator, and my clear gel top coat peel off a few days after, what am I doing wrong?
Hi, so the base coat and top coat used in this video is the same product used for poly gel? I didn't know they could be used to adhere full cover nails, but I like that idea. Just wanted to confirm.
Thank you for this amazing video! So helpful. I was wondering what to do if you mess up a step. For example, if your top coat is too thick or not properly dry, what can I go? Can I just use acetone to remove it and just repeat it? What is my nail is too thick after dipping or not done properly (too close to the cuticules or weird looking)? Do I have to start all over again? How do I go back and fix it once the mistake is already done? I cannot find this information anywhere! Please help! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. 2 questions...can acrylic powder be used as dip powder? And is the base and top coat gel polish? Or not, cos I didn't see any uv light drying...
Sooooo I tried this (just natural nails and the edges of my nails look atrocious. I painted my nails and my skin I guess... its soo messy looking, what can I do to fix it
Can you please tell me what you used to "glue" on the tips? I remember you said you didn't use glue you used something else but didn't state what it was? I want something that will hold the tips on good.
I have so many dip powders but I have yet to use them because I'm so scared I'm gonna mess them up lmao. I need to buy an edrill but I'm scared of that too :D wish me luck!
The way I understand it and the way my nail tech does it is dip 3/4 of the nail the first and then the full nail the second time so it doesn’t build up too thick at the cuticle
Doesnt that help build the arch as well?

I did this and my gel top coat just sunk onto the sealer. I did give it time to dry, where was the mistake?
I’ve watched probably 20+ dip powder videos. This is hands down the best dip powder tutorial!!!
Thank you you for keeping it short and sweet!
Thank You! I just did my first dip set at home and I hated the top coat so much that I dug my uv light out and finished with the clear top coat! This is by far the best how to video I’ve seen
I had this same issue over the weekend I thought I did something wrong. I’m going to have to invest in a UV light now.

Those tops for dip manicure will never be shiny as gel top coats.
@@beataboom so use gel lol
agree
You actually have beautiful real nails also. I can't wait to try this. I have been using poly gel and It getting old bc they do not stay on long.
Gel topcoat is so genius!! Doing this from now on
Just remember ladies and gents rough not buff before applying that gel top coat or it’ll chip! Been there done that and I’m a nail tech
Thanks for the tip! But what do you mean rough and not buff?

This is my go-to. I don't even visit the nail bar anymore. Also, gorgeous nails and colour ❤
Oh my goodness, I never tire of that Eric color. It's just so classically beautiful!!
They turned out SO pretty! And such an informative video, I just ordered my first powders and can’t wait to try them out 🥰

That’s such a good tip!!! Also if I used the same gel top coat as her do I have to cure that? (With a lamp)
@@hammypie yes, if you use a gel top coat it will need to be cured in a lamp. UV lamps are usually 60-120 seconds and LED lamps are usually 30-60 seconds. Depending on which gel product you get.

So if I use the same top coat she uses which type of lamp do I need to use? Thank you
I love the colors you used!! I am new to dip powder and still learning new tips and trips for manicure so thankss!!
These colors come in a kit for revel nail, its called “fabulous in french”! I just got mine today and i love it:))
Aww thank you!!! I am going to go check it out
This is genius. My nails have suffered so much from gel manicures. This is a chance to actually save them 💅
Wow I’m glad CZcams showed me this one 😂 tried round one and two on my own with dip powder and realized I needed some help, this was very useful and I like the gel top coat trick! I agree I don’t like the dip top coat and they NEVER DRY GOOD 😭😂
Me running to do my nails now. I bought a dip powder system a few weeks ago but have been a bit reluctant to use. This just gave me the confidence.
They came out beautiful. I always do gel nails and decided to try dipping. Just got my kit and this was a great guide video.
You can do both… apply the gel base coat, dip ,cure , brush … repeat
Great video, quick and to the point and great pointers.
Soooo informative! I did pretty well but now realize I need to get a drill to neaten my nails up some more. Thank you so much, game changer!
That's helpful!
But I didn't understand this: after applying the soak off top coat, do you put the nails into the dryer lamp?
She uses an led polish that needs light curing instead of he dip nails top coat. Because the dip nail top coat takes too long to dry and isn't as shiny as a gel finish. 😁
Beautiful nails. I would love to see a video on how you remove it.
Do a search on CZcams. There are lots of videos on removal
Rtp
This actually works! I just used this method yesterday. czcams.com/video/xw-l7h37BTc/video.html
I use Acetone from Sally's
You literally file to make them look dull, soak cotton in acetone and it dissolves.
Thanks. Very quick and informative.
Thank you for sharing these tips! Question, how do you do your dominant hand as far as the drilling goes? Is it possible to do it with just a nail file? Thanks!
Yes it is!
yes it is, she mentioned that in the video. she said it just takes a little longer to do.
do you find that with this method of putting the full cover tips on with gel allows them to stay on? im always afraid with full cover that theyll pop off
So Pretty! I like the pink / white shimmer, its cute❤
Ty, i am just about to try my first dip powder system i will be doing it over the weekend, i am happy you used full cover tips as i am planning on using full cover nails tips.tysmfs.
I had the idea to do this a while ago and now I’m glad someone showed how to do it.
Thank u for saying what bits work best!
I love this step-by-step! Thank you so much!🌼
The sparkle so pretty ❤
Beautiful natural nails/perfect nail beds.
How long did your nails last with the false nail gel application technique?
if you do normal prep,...like for prop adhesion for glue and/or acrylic then it will last...forever lol...I have thin nails so they intake more water and I still get 4+ weeks with apres dupe method
Dip powder nails are beautiful. But mine always look dusty lol. It’s hard for me to clean up my cuticle
Every time I try to shape my dips nails at the end like you did the color starts to file off and I’m no where near the natural nail . Is there a reason this is happening and what can I do to avoid this ? I also find that even though I’m fast with dipping into the powder it seems patchy .
Clear cap your nails after your done with all your color dip. It protects the color/glitter when start your filing, hope this helps 💕
That looked so easy. I had decided never work with dip system, this video might have changed my mind. 😂maybe to only for myself and not for clients 😂
I still think it is not hygiene, not cost effective, as I never heard of someone having one product for each client, we have to sanitize everything that goes in contact with a client skin.

Wow you have beautiful natural nails
Thanks for the video and your time. Very helpful. Appreciate you ❤
Thank you ,dear! 🫶🏼
THANK YOU SOSOSOSO MUCH it was so easyy and im only 14 it came out so good
I just recently tried dip nails for the first time. They take more steps but look great.
Thank you for video!!
You made me go out and buy the dip kit hahah!
Your video really helped me do good for my first time!!!
Only question I have is when I did my nails my base cost that you put on before the powder the brush got hard!!
Did I do something wrong for it to go hard?
Wonderfully done, and beautiful outcome!! Thank you for posting this step by step
I absolutely HATE the top coat

My nail tech doesn't either, she just does the color
Have you ever had any issues with "dip flu?" Do you wear a mask? I'm masked, have my dust collector and do my dip in a ventilated area and I still get chest and nasal congestion that lasts a few days...:(
It's not dip flu it's dip allergy I'm sorry to say 😭
I JUST LOVE ALL YOUR WORKS AND IT WAS AMAZING LIKE YOU!
💖💖💖💖💖
Beautiful nails I get this from now on at my nail salon
thanks a bunch
Very helpful and well done video. The nails turned out beautiful.
Glue gel is a miracle worker. It helps stay on longer.
You make this look wayyyyyy to easy
Directions of the top coat say to use UV or LED light. Did you use the light to cure the top coat?
Where do you get the nail extensions you use?
Amazon
This was perfect Juli !! Just started doing my own nails, great tutorial....Upon putting on the clear gel top coat, do you need to cure it under the lamp or just air dry?
Why do you wipe off the activator the second time? I haven’t been doing that! So just wondering 😬
Simple but elegant
I believe press on nails are more convenient!, I need your review about which is better, press on nails or glamrdip?
They look beautiful 💕
How do you take it off? Loved the tutorial ♥️ thank you
Love your drill I am going to purchase one for sure.
Wow! I like your style but can I ask you after using the gel topcoat did u cure it?
Is the base coat a gel polish or regular polish
*has the most beautiful natural nails*
*puts extensions on anyway*
With a gel top coat do you need to light cure it? Which gel top coat did you use?
I was thinking the same!
Yes you need to cure it with the lamp
I have started to apply my fake nails using gel and I love this method, yes it a bit difficult to keep your finger on the nail to hold it down bu tit does work
I found chip clips that hold it for me.. Much better then the nail clamps
Thank you for going step by step so cleat. I do have a couple questions, if you decide to use a gel topcoat do you have to cure them? Also as far as a lint free wipe can I use a alcohol wipe?

Could be your products. My advice would be investing in a good starter set from Amazon.
Hi, so the base coat and top coat used in this video is the same product used for poly gel? I didn't know they could be used to adhere full cover nails, but I like that idea. Just wanted to confirm.

I wanna try this but I can’t afford it well I can still watch!
does it matter if you use full coverage nail tips or just the usual tips?
IDK
Look gorgeous! Thank you. Can you show a video on how to take the nails off?
Sooooo I tried this (just natural nails and the edges of my nails look atrocious. I painted my nails and my skin I guess... its soo messy looking, what can I do to fix it
I tore them off😥it looked awful
How long does the gel (as adhesive) last for these? Thanks for the great video.
Good video. What gel top coat did you use? Do you need a uv light lamp?
Is the ‘pro base’ clear nail polish. Or does anyone have any substitutes for it.
Please clarify if you had to cure the gel top coat? 😀
Yes! Cure the gel top coat after applying it over your dip manicure!
Can you please tell me what you used to "glue" on the tips? I remember you said you didn't use glue you used something else but didn't state what it was? I want something that will hold the tips on good.
Your nails came out so pretty! About how long would you say this set lasts you?
it lasts me about 2 weeks!
do u think plastic nail tips are stronger for ur nails and last, or the more yellow thin nail tips for dip powder?
These are soooo pretty I would love to get some soon
where did you get your fake press ons from? The shapes really nice
Luv those colors… what are they, I must have
I have so many dip powders but I have yet to use them because I'm so scared I'm gonna mess them up lmao. I need to buy an edrill but I'm scared of that too :D wish me luck!
Thanks for all the tips and tricks :D
Are tips or the full coverage nails you used better longevity wise?
