This is how I do Dip powders , I don’t like the thought of putting superglue on nails , I also use the natural powder to do an overlay on natural nails for strength then use a gel color on top
haralynn do you not need the activator for this and how long does it last doing this method? I have a lot of Kiara sky powders and wonder if I can my powders with young nails base.
I have been trying to find a video on how to do this since I heard about it!! Thank you! So excited to do this instead of resin!! Young Nails, you are amazing.
My method for a few years now. Love it. I dont use the glue because I feel like that is not an enhancement. It takes away from technique. (Just my opinion) the gel with powder Makes a really NICE,THIN solid enhancement.
Stephanieee1130 also on myself i perform a full set with the powder and hard gel. And use gel polish, .that wayyy for fill all i have to do is file color off and fill in.
I have not tried your powders. But I have used the same method with a local company. I use this as an overlay so I don't break a nail. I fill them just like an acrylic overlay. I just have to try your powers. Over the year's, my experience has taught my the pouring versus dipping always seems to come out smoother. It is a great alternative if you're someone like me who's very sensitive to monomers and I really can't stand the smell. So I get the strength of acrylic but the easiness of gel. In my opinion it's the best of both worlds.
After watching this, I immediately went to my nail station and tried it out and to my surprise...it worked! The only issue I had was that even after filing it still came out a little thick. Not sure why, but it still looks pretty damn good for my first attempt. I'll see be doing this again. Young Nails crew you've done it again ❤
This is how I started doing my nails from the get go...so glad I did it right lol....also I like to put a clear or natural layer of powder before I do the color
I have been doing it this way since day 1, and on the natural nail and it is amazing, my clients love it. I usually do a clear powder and gel polish over the top, so that way I don't need heaps of slick pour colours in. It suits my clients perfect and their natural nails grow so long with this method. I suppose you could say I add it for strength over the natural nail :).
Hey I have been looking for any kind of info on this method and I’m stoked to find your comment! Are you doing one or two coats of the clear powder first? Do you need to file at all before you put the gel polish on? Lastly...is this lasting longer for your clients than a traditional gel manicure? TIA.
I prep as normal, do 2 coats of clear, and then I do a light file with a 180 grit, just to rough it a little, I then I do a base coat etc... It has been awesome for those who struggle with a gel polish due to their job etc), and yes 99% get minimum 3 weeks out of it. Also some use it to grow out their nails, especially nail biters and pickers, as some find they can pick maniq of (which I try first), and they cant with the slick pour, so its great to have that option for biters and pickers :).
Jaxx Thank you so much....one more thing....are you charging the same price for this method (clear SP & colored maniq) as you do with colored slick pour-like what they are doing here ☝🏼
I love Tracy's videos! I refuse to do resin but a lot of people are interested in dip powders now so i am going to give his a try. Love that pink as well. 😻
I just ordered 19 colors and the conversion base. This is a new service I'm doing. Omg I love and it's so easy to do! I'm never going back to shellac on my nails.
I totally love watching your videos. As a nail tech in training this helps me so much. I tried your method & extremely happy to say it works 100%. I've been struggling to get clients because I was only offering gel manis that too only natural nails. Now can offer dip acrylic aswell. If you could do a video on how to apply tips for beginners I would really appreciate it.
I have done this before using the Young Nail products that are sold at ULTA I really love the silkpour powders they go on so smooth and have great pigment. Always get complaints from everyone when using your products. Love the videos I always learn new ways of doing my nails.
Thank you so much for these educational videos! I don't do nails professional, just for myself, and your videos are helping me so much to make sure I do them right. I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos on doing nails(that's what happens when you are off two weeks straight with the flu!) but I must admit, yours are the most educational and fun ones I have watched. Thanks again!
Jist tried it now for the first time! Absolutely fantastic. I use a regular gel base coat and a regular acrylic powder and uv lamp to cure. Love it. Thanks!!!!!💕 Lots of love from South Africa
I love this method super easy and saves you time.... I'm also using normal acrylic powder and gel base coat. I'm also from SA. Thank you for sharing this method. Love it.
I damaged the matrix on my big toe so now it splits when it gets a little length on it. I use this technique to strengthen the nail to avoid it splitting 😊
Another plus is you can do whatever color dip system powder and whenever I'm bored with that and I don't have time to file off the color. It's thin enough in layers that I can quickly paint over whatever color acrylic I have on my nails with regular polish or gel polish sometimes do I do French manicure when I'm bored with that I just paint over different colors till it's time for a fill😉
Thanks for the amazing video. Just graduated nail school and watching your video's made me attend nail class. Thanks you guys. Wish you had a class here in Miami, Florida..
I’ve had great results with this method and opaque colors, but I find that sheer and transparent powders come out cloudy, even if I’m careful to make sure the powder wets out. That seems to be the consensus among other DIYers, but I’m wondering if the pros have any techniques for that? It’s not the end of the world, it just limits me to cover pinks for French. I love that it’s less rigid than the cyanoacrylate base.
If there's a specific color you're having challenges with, please dm us pictures of the results you're having. Please keep in mind that sheer colors still have color to them and they are not completely clear. If you are looking for a clear powder, Under The Radar is a completely clear.
Yes!!!!!! I experience dip flu too so I want to try this so bad!!! I spent so much money on dip powders and thought It was a total loss because of the horrible effects I experienced. I hope this solves it. Thank you YN!!!!
It's our Slickpour color Venus Rising, but it's no longer available. Another good option is Tart and Tangy. www.youngnails.com/products/tart-and-tangy-fluorescent-pink-coral-color-dip-powder
I've been using gel dip for a few years as it's great over natural nails or even with extensions but I find it's not great for very long extensions. I use a different brand as you used, one question, you said once you have dipped twice you can then file or buff before putting the top coat on, but the brand I use, and as I've always done is put the top coat on then buff till smooth then put another top coat on, it's surprising what a difference it's makes. X
Ms. Tracy, first to say I did the nails like you did with caption and slickpour. I used CND powder and caption base and top and my nails are hard and not chipping. Second do you have a video made of how you did you own nails. Are they Acrylic or Gel or did you use forms or tips and which acrylic system from young’s nails you used. I find your nails are so feminine and slender. Not too long or short. I am used to having long nails. If you have done a tutorial on your nails I love to see it and if not I still would like to see how you did your nails if you decide to do a video. Many thanks 🙏🏻
No, this is done with our conversion base and top coat. It is formulated to absorb the powder this way. Both are available on our website, youngnails.com
you applied this over a set of previous nail enhancements. How well will this work on a natural nail? Most of my clients are natural and use gel polish with a few who choose to wear enhancements. Is this a soak off base or a hard gel base and top coat
Naturally _ Me777 I do this exact procedure on mine, which can be done with any gel base coat you cure, not hard gel, on my natural nails. However I do use the system solidify (different brand), between layers if the powder has glitters in it and needs a clear dip layer on top to protect the glitter from buffing, then top coat.
I sometimes use this technique with clients. If they want enhancements I use a tip. You don’t need to use hard gel or acrylic first. The nails are very strong when they are finished 😊
I found this--it's the Cuccio system, but I assume the method would work with any system. Scroll down to almost the bottom of the page; it talks about Building an Apex. www.adeldirect.co.uk/blog/2017/06/how-to-cuccio-nail-dip-system/
@youngnailsinc is there a concern of the base coat not curing fully with the pigment over top? If so I imagine there would be an increased allergy concern
I'm in Florida, Iet my license expire in 2002 and just renewed it in 2018 without taking the course again and didnt have to even retest. I just had to pay a reinstatement fee, take a 4 hour online hiv course and completed and submitted a form and received my license 6 weeks later.
I absolutely love dip powder but I am allergic to the resin in every kit I’ve tried. I’ve been curious to see if this works because I have so many powders and hated seeing them go to waste. Is this method as strong as dip powder? Or more like gel?
Hi Tracey. Thankyou! A really cool idea👌👌Can you please confirm...AT INFILL TIME, THE NAIL TECH ONLY NEEDS TO GO TO THE BASECOAT, RATHER THAN SOAK OFF LIKE THE RESIN/POWDER METHOD? That is genius, as soak off is time consuming. Please let me know if I have understood correctly. Thankyou kindly🦋🦋🦋
When we lay down that first layer of base and cure, it’s so that when the customer comes back in we can file the color off with our e-file and only have to go to that layer of clear and then repeat our process 😁
What about using this technique for natural nails. Using the dip method to strengthen. Can you guys do a video on that. I’m using your powder now to do that on a client. And I feel like I’m taking for ever. Removal: applying to layers of dip and then I use a gel polish for color because the powders I have aren’t the color she wants. Please help me :)
if I am going to use a gel polish over SlickPour I use a clear or nude color as my base so that I only have to fill the nails when they come back. Saves me from having to remove and reapply
I recently received my Protein Bond, Conversation base, top and Slick Pour! My applications are coming along great due to Tracy’s great video. Thou I noticed that in one video you applied the base coat and cured it and in the other you didn’t. Does it make a difference? Do you have to completely remove everything for each manicure or can you back fill? And my last question for today, is there a video for applying Slick Pour over a tip? Im so excited to bring this to my clients!
You don't have to apply that extra base coat, but we recommend it for a couple of reasons -Gives the nail a little more structure and durability -When using colored powders, the extra base layer keeps the color from absorbing into and staining the natural nail -You can either file off or fill your product every few weeks. If you choose to file your product off, you only have to file down to that base layer, not all the way to the natural nail. This can avoid any excessive filing on the natural nail every time you change out the color. Here's a great video to show you a tip application, but we don't have one with a Slick Pour application over the tip. It would generally be the same application as over a natural nail but you may need to add another layer through the stress area and also make sure you completely remove the shine from the surface of the tip if you are using the Conversion Gel method.
I totally appreciate your time and information! I feel more convenient in my manicures and able to educate my clients. And I can give my clients more choices. If you ever do classes in the Central Valley I’m totally in! 💝
I normally do the regular process for dip and do gel top coat for shine but My gel top coat always peels off when I use it over my dip powder. Any tips?
so, before she put the base gel polish on and then poured dip powder on top.. did she use a "natural colored" dip powder on top of her natural nails and already use a nail drill and file to get her desired nail? or are those her natural pointy light pink nails lol?
Yes you can! Just keep in mind that it could add bulk to your nail. Try making the acrylic part a little thinner than normal so when you add the dip powder it isn’t as bulky.
I have a few questions if anyone will help me out. I love having my nails done but where I live the nail techs are terrible so I prefer to do them myself. I want to try this method but I'm wondering if you have to have the brand of slick and pour and the gel clear coat they use in the video or if it works with any kind of gel and dip powder brands? I tried to find a link to their website to buy what they use but there is nothing in the description of the video :( Any feed back is appreciated! This video is awesome. Thank you for letting the rest of us know!
I really don't want to have to put resin on my nails and I don't know of any other brands that have a system that use gel polish in placement of resin. Please someone help me? 😭
Yes we manufacture the products used in this video. our website is www.youngnails.com and the gel we used in this video is Conversion base and top coat and the powders are called Slickpour
haralynn I have the conversion system because when I do an overlay using this system it stays on long as well as the gel nail colours are so nice. I ran out of caption top coat recently and than used Gelish top coat cause that’s what I had at the time and use. The result was good and no chipping. I think you can use a good quality top coat of any brand and than cure it in a lamp. The conversion top coat is shinier than Gelish. I also use CND system and top coat is quality, durable and tough. Any top brand works as long as you cure in a lamp either UV/LED. Young Nails are promoting their product and not others. Also conversion top coat is thick and don’t need lots, I know cause I tried different ones.Its all trial and error.
I used the clear powder to add strength to my moms natural nails, but the gel polish is not holding up at all over the dip. I didn't add step 4, because I thought that was just for shine. Do I need to complete all 4 steps when I'm just using the clear dip powder with gel polish over it?
When you are using the Conversion Gel, we recommend prepping the nail as you would any other enhancement (push back cuticles, remove shine and cleanse with Swipe). After cleansing, adhere your tip, cut, shape and blend it. Using the medium sanding band or 150 grit file, remove the shine from the remainder of the tip and dust the nail off with a dry manicure brush. Carefully use a lint free wipe with Swipe to cleanse the natural nail again, but avoid getting Swipe on the tip as this can smooth the surface out again. Apply a coat of Protein Bond to the whole nail and then you can begin your application with the Conversion Base and Slick Pour powders.
Swipe is used to cleanse the natural nail, mani q cleanse is used to remove the tacky layer from gel polish. Yes you can use slickpour with our monomer.
Would this work with the gelish base? I would love to give it a try but I don't have a conversion base and I'm not sure if that is important or not. Sorry, newbie here!
I have an important question...I see her nails already have acrylic on them. I want to know , can I use the gel base coat as the bond with the powder and build layers over tips to make my nails ? Or do I need to have acrylics done before ?
I'm not a pro - just a hobbyist. I have lots and lots of gel polish colors that I'm sad to see sitting off to the side and getting no use. and I work on natural nails. If I understand, I do a coat of gel polish base, cure it, gel polish base + dip polish (clear or otherwise), cure, repeat, then gel polish top coat and cure, then remove the sticky residue. (I'm a step by step instructions kind of girl lol.) I have the Gelish gel polish system - does it matter what I use?
We have not tried using slickpour with any other gel systems. We have tried it with several of our gel systems and found that it works best using Conversion Base and Top Coat.
Cindy Cadman I have Gelish as well. It probably works best to keep within one system, but we [talented] hobbyists CAN'T GET YOUR SCHTUFF, YN ... sigh... so we have to make due with less than The Best. [tiny violin ...] ;)
This is a different method of using our slickpour dip powders with our conversion base and top. If you are looking for a method without using a light, you would be looking for the resin method. ua-cam.com/video/ReXNd_8dOF4/v-deo.html
This is how I do Dip powders , I don’t like the thought of putting superglue on nails , I also use the natural powder to do an overlay on natural nails for strength then use a gel color on top
Do you complete step 4 and then buff the nail before you apply gel polish?
How dies that go with length and strength
haralynn do you not need the activator for this and how long does it last doing this method? I have a lot of Kiara sky powders and wonder if I can my powders with young nails base.
Basically the glue, gel, acrylic has the same ingredient
So no activator needed? Just gel base, dip, gel base, dip and gel top coat?
I have been trying to find a video on how to do this since I heard about it!! Thank you! So excited to do this instead of resin!! Young Nails, you are amazing.
awesome!
Riight!!! This is my fav method, I hate using the resin and sticky bottles
My method for a few years now. Love it. I dont use the glue because I feel like that is not an enhancement. It takes away from technique. (Just my opinion) the gel with powder Makes a really NICE,THIN solid enhancement.
Chanda jenkins so this technique works well for you, I’m going to trying this tomorrow
shernica fields yes.. even as afull sey with tips.
Chanda jenkins what is your step by step for this method with tips?

www.youngnails.com/products/tart-and-tangy-fluorescent-pink-coral-color-dip-powder
You guys are amazing!! Question: Is there a difference between "conversion" gel and regular gel? Is "conversion" just Young Nails category/name?
Nope the chemistry for conversion is just a bit different from standard gel polish which we also carry. Our standard gel polish is called maniQ
I've been using gel dip for a few years as it's great over natural nails or even with extensions but I find it's not great for very long extensions.

If you have hard gel why do you wanna use acrylic too?
@youngnailsinc is there a concern of the base coat not curing fully with the pigment over top? If so I imagine there would be an increased allergy concern
When applied as we show, the product will be translucent enough for the product to fully cure.
I love Slick Pour, I am allergic to the base and top coat, but the powders I am able to use with a resin. Thank you Tracy!
Nice

What about using this technique for natural nails. Using the dip method to strengthen. Can you guys do a video on that. I’m using your powder now to do that on a client. And I feel like I’m taking for ever. Removal: applying to layers of dip and then I use a gel polish for color because the powders I have aren’t the color she wants. Please help me :)
if I am going to use a gel polish over SlickPour I use a clear or nude color as my base so that I only have to fill the nails when they come back. Saves me from having to remove and reapply
Can I use regular acrylic powder with this method? 🤔
We don't recommend it as acrylic powder isn't as fine and it can look splotchy.
I recently received my Protein Bond, Conversation base, top and Slick Pour! My applications are coming along great due to Tracy’s great video. Thou I noticed that in one video you applied the base coat and cured it and in the other you didn’t. Does it make a difference?
Do you have to completely remove everything for each manicure or can you back fill? And my last question for today, is there a video for applying Slick Pour over a tip?
Im so excited to bring this to my clients!
You don't have to apply that extra base coat, but we recommend it for a couple of reasons
-Gives the nail a little more structure and durability
-When using colored powders, the extra base layer keeps the color from absorbing into and staining the natural nail
-You can either file off or fill your product every few weeks. If you choose to file your product off, you only have to file down to that base layer, not all the way to the natural nail. This can avoid any excessive filing on the natural nail every time you change out the color.
Here's a great video to show you a tip application, but we don't have one with a Slick Pour application over the tip. It would generally be the same application as over a natural nail but you may need to add another layer through the stress area and also make sure you completely remove the shine from the surface of the tip if you are using the Conversion Gel method.
I totally appreciate your time and information! I feel more convenient in my manicures and able to educate my clients. And I can give my clients more choices. If you ever do classes in the Central Valley I’m totally in! 💝
Great Demo, Thank You for Sharing 😍💜 You Rock Tracey 😀💜
Thank You!!
Do you have to use the conversion gel or will any gel work? Same brand of course.
Conversion is our only gel that absorbs the powder this way.
Just tried this and its amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching
I love this. Using resin is had to remove using acetone soak off the cloth sticks and hard to
Pull off 🤦🏽♀️ this is easy to remove like gel polish 👍🏽
exactly!
How is this easy to remove?
How do you remove it the best way?
Haha omg the music and logos take me back ❤️❤️
Can you add glitter in the dip powder while use this method ?
Thank you so much !
Can’t wait to try it !!
Yes you can.
I normally do the regular process for dip and do gel top coat for shine but My gel top coat always peels off when I use it over my dip powder. Any tips?
Make sure to rough up the surface before applying the gel top coat. 😊❤️
Buff the dipped nail then apply a primer, then a base/bonding gel, then the gel top coat!
tack free no wipe gel top coat is different, and it won't peel off when used with dipped nails.
I agree with grace, mine was still peeling off in spots and the first time i used a no cleanse top coat my clients nails never peeled!
What color is that? This helps me alot I'm going to start using the slickpour like this.
Venus Rising 😊
YoungNailsInc thank you
So pretty! I want that color too!
Would you add any nail art like normal before applying the top coat? Would this work if I used the clear powder and applied gel polish over the clear?
yes you can apply the clear and then gel polish over the top.
Mind blown!!! This saved my life!
nice
Can you help me? So i tried this method and it worked and looked great but the next day, all nails were cracking...any suggestions?
so, before she put the base gel polish on and then poured dip powder on top.. did she use a "natural colored" dip powder on top of her natural nails and already use a nail drill and file to get her desired nail? or are those her natural pointy light pink nails lol?
What is the name of this slick pour? I love the vibrant color of this. I'm hoping you still have this and it wasn't limited edition!
I believe it is Silk Peony.
Can I use this over an acrylic nail? Then can I just sand off the color or do I need to soak off in acetone? Thank you 😊
Yes you can! Just keep in mind that it could add bulk to your nail.
Try making the acrylic part a little thinner than normal so when you add the dip powder it isn’t as bulky.
Hi young nails. Can I do this method with builder gel? Or what gel goes good with this technique and does it straighten the nails?
Very nice! As always, great class!!
Thank You!!
Can I ask if I can use acrylic powder alternative to dip powder using this method? :)
Not great it doesn't absorb the same
can i use the acrylic dip powders for gel nails or should i use the slick pour only??
Do you need the activator for this or no?
Not when used with conversion no
YoungNailsInc ok I’m going to purchase it now. I use regular dip liquids
I realy realy love you guys great tips thank you . my baby takes my all time . so this tecnique is going to save some time for me . kisses******
awesome!
So instead of doing a fill per say , you file right down to base coat then reapply as above?
I have a few questions if anyone will help me out. I love having my nails done but where I live the nail techs are terrible so I prefer to do them myself. I want to try this method but I'm wondering if you have to have the brand of slick and pour and the gel clear coat they use in the video or if it works with any kind of gel and dip powder brands? I tried to find a link to their website to buy what they use but there is nothing in the description of the video :( Any feed back is appreciated! This video is awesome. Thank you for letting the rest of us know!
I really don't want to have to put resin on my nails and I don't know of any other brands that have a system that use gel polish in placement of resin. Please someone help me? 😭
Yes we manufacture the products used in this video. our website is www.youngnails.com and the gel we used in this video is Conversion base and top coat and the powders are called Slickpour
Does it have to be the Conversion top coat? Can it be any gel top coat?
Slickpour works best with Conversion base and top coat 💖
haralynn I have the conversion system because when I do an overlay using this system it stays on long as well as the gel nail colours are so nice. I ran out of caption top coat recently and than used Gelish top coat cause that’s what I had at the time and use. The result was good and no chipping. I think you can use a good quality top coat of any brand and than cure it in a lamp. The conversion top coat is shinier than Gelish. I also use CND system and top coat is quality, durable and tough. Any top brand works as long as you cure in a lamp either UV/LED. Young Nails are promoting their product and not others. Also conversion top coat is thick and don’t need lots, I know cause I tried different ones.Its all trial and error.
I used the clear powder to add strength to my moms natural nails, but the gel polish is not holding up at all over the dip. I didn't add step 4, because I thought that was just for shine. Do I need to complete all 4 steps when I'm just using the clear dip powder with gel polish over it?
Step 4 is a top coat. Email katie@youngnails.com and she can help troubleshoot with you.
Brillaint Tracy !!!! Thank you
❤️❤️
If I want to glue a tip on before do I follow the same steps or is the method different if using a tip?
When you are using the Conversion Gel, we recommend prepping the nail as you would any other enhancement (push back cuticles, remove shine and cleanse with Swipe). After cleansing, adhere your tip, cut, shape and blend it. Using the medium sanding band or 150 grit file, remove the shine from the remainder of the tip and dust the nail off with a dry manicure brush.
Carefully use a lint free wipe with Swipe to cleanse the natural nail again, but avoid getting Swipe on the tip as this can smooth the surface out again. Apply a coat of Protein Bond to the whole nail and then you can begin your application with the Conversion Base and Slick Pour powders.
What's the difference between the mani que cleanse & swipe?? Can you also use slick pour with monomer for enhancements? Thanks!!
Swipe is used to cleanse the natural nail, mani q cleanse is used to remove the tacky layer from gel polish. Yes you can use slickpour with our monomer.
@@youngnailsinc If I dont have ManiQ cleanse is it ok to just you 90%IPA
Would this work with the gelish base? I would love to give it a try but I don't have a conversion base and I'm not sure if that is important or not. Sorry, newbie here!
Would have to try it we only test with our products.
I do it with reg base and it works
Hi. Did you clean the sticky layer of the base coat before starting applying base coat and dip powder together?
No, you don't remove the tacky layer.
To be clear we are applying angel base cost instead of dip powder base cost, then curing?
Question......do you need to wipe brushes off between applications to prevent contamination of the conversion gel and top coat?
You could but it really doesn't pick up much
So this can be also done on acrylic and on natural nails?
Yes it can be.
Will this technique work with your standard acrylic powders?
Unfortunately it only works with slickpour
YoungNailsInc can dry pigment be mixed into the clear or white slick pour?
Yes it does. research it.
I have an important question...I see her nails already have acrylic on them. I want to know , can I use the gel base coat as the bond with the powder and build layers over tips to make my nails ? Or do I need to have acrylics done before ?
Would be better to use acrylic if I'm understanding your question correct
I'm not a pro - just a hobbyist. I have lots and lots of gel polish colors that I'm sad to see sitting off to the side and getting no use. and I work on natural nails. If I understand, I do a coat of gel polish base, cure it, gel polish base + dip polish (clear or otherwise), cure, repeat, then gel polish top coat and cure, then remove the sticky residue. (I'm a step by step instructions kind of girl lol.) I have the Gelish gel polish system - does it matter what I use?
We have not tried using slickpour with any other gel systems. We have tried it with several of our gel systems and found that it works best using Conversion Base and Top Coat.
Cindy Cadman I have Gelish as well. It probably works best to keep within one system, but we [talented] hobbyists CAN'T GET YOUR SCHTUFF, YN ... sigh... so we have to make due with less than The Best. [tiny violin ...] ;)
yes you can on amazon :)
.@@tunnasch
Hi Tracy. I was why did you choose conversion base and top instead of mani q base and top? Can it be used with ManiQ also
We found that it works best in Conversion 😁
Hi! Can I apply gel polish first, then sprinkle on Dip Glitter for an ombre effect on top of gel?
Yes, you can. You may have to do an extra coat of top coat to seal the product & give it a smooth finish.
@@youngnailsinc Thank you so much! Thank you for your channel, Tips and tricks! Jesus loves you all! Y'all be well.
What is the liquid you use to cleanse the mail after the top coat?
lol be this idea cos I love both methods and you ave made them into one!!! 😍😍😍
Nice
Can you mix dip powders with hard gels for sculpting?
This seems so complicated. Other brands don’t have you cure your nails in between powder application. Is this suppose to make the product last longer?
This is a different method of using our slickpour dip powders with our conversion base and top. If you are looking for a method without using a light, you would be looking for the resin method.

Woah! Game changer! Excellent
Hi I tried doing nails with dip powder using this method with base coat but on ACRYGEL overlays product on mail but it all crumbles and comes off
Yes the perfect video whoot whoot thank u tracy
Game changer can I give you guy a big fat kiss, I’m doing this tomorrow 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Awesome!!! You will love doing it this way😊
@youngnailsinc how long do these last? Is it longer then gel polish alone? Is it longer then acrylic alone? Thank you.
Longer than gel polish, think of it as a blend of gel and acrylic. Flexible like gel but durable like acrylic.
