Love this. Baby Boomer era was mid 40’s to the early 1960’s. The time when WWII was over and all the soldiers came home, got married & started their family, thus a boom to the population.
That is AWESOME! I USE THE SAME BRUSHES FOR MY OMBRES!! They work PERFECTLY! I AM a licensed nail tech, and I do it the exact same way girl! GOOD JOB!! 😁😁🥰🥰
Incredible!! I decided to try dip powder for the very first time tonight. I have been doing DIY nails - everything from acrylic to plain polish for most of my life - but especially in the past five years. I go in spurts, and sometimes my nails look like crap for ages, my cuticles always look like crap. But tonight for some reason for the first time ever, I decided to try dip nails. Honestly, the only reason I never did before is because when I saw them on people, I didn’t like the bulkiness, not realizing that they probably just weren’t doing a great job. It seems like a lot of work. On a whim tonight I ran to my local Sally Beauty to grab a starter kit and came home to watch some videos. I mainly did it because I’m growing out my nails and one of them ripped a little and I wanted to repair it. Oh my God my life has changed forever. This was the easiest fastest thing I have ever done. I want to say thank you for your videos because while I have been watching a lot of them, I really enjoy yours and when I saw the thumbnail for this ombré I may have cried a little bit. So gorgeous! Anyhow, I love that you just get straight to the point of the video without a lengthy headshot and dialogue 😂
Extremely exciting for the ombré series!! I’m still struggling with it and I even have bought the same brushes to do it and I can’t seem to get it, also picking up the product and my tapping lol so I’m looking forward to it ALL and to learn EVERYTHING 🙂🙂💗💗
I just did a baby boomer set on my mom and she asked me why they were called that. I had to look it up too! This definitely will help me with my next baby boomer set. It looks gorgeous!
Love this mani! I’m brand new to dipping but I think I’ll try this-thanks for your great videos with clear instructions for us newbies. Your videos are my favorites!😊💕
That was really excellent - thank you. I had no idea how to do this look. Gorgeous result. I also appreciate that your video was short and to the point. I don't want to watch a demo for like 15-20 minutes when the same thing can be accomplished in 10-15.
popped in my feed I've started doing my nails again after a long hiatus. Just bought my first dip powder (holo) since I like that look and want to experiment/practice. Subtle is good too. Tail end of the BB era. You had me at 'hello weirdos.' Subbed.
I'm a "Baby Boomer"... born in the late 50s...Boomers are the generation born after WW2...the soldiers came home and there was a population boom! Lots a new babies...beautiful set Marla! The for sharing!
Taco bell is life! Fun story: right after hubby and I got married, we went through the Taco Bell drive thru in our wedding gear and everything. It was our "first" meal as a married couple. After 30 years together, it is still one of our go tos when we are craving tacos (most specifically craving Taco Bell!!) Thanks for sharing this beautiful mani and your stories. I look forward to them weekly. :)
I love this video! I don't usually do neutrals but they always look so pretty! 🙏🏼😎💕🥰🎉 You always add so much more to your videos than just the techniques and that's an added bonus why I love you! ❤️. Have a blessed day, @Marla Kris!
Another great video ❤️ I’d love to see a video doing ombré with a shimmer colour, either the top or main part of the nail and how to keep them separate. If possible? 🤷♀️☺️
Wow, I do ombres but I think this is the best combination of color. Stunning & I like my nails short like this. Thank you 🙋♀️ *I'm a new subscriber now! 🎉💚
That's the only thing I eat there. But you got me wanting to try those fries. BTW I just ordered some Hot Mess Marla cuticle oil. But forgot to add your discount code 🙄🤦🏾♀️
Marla coming in clutch again to brighten my day ❤. At least the Universe gave me a break for my birthday yesterday. BTW, I i love Taco Bell. It became a thing for my boyfriend and I 😋 Hope you and yours are well, Weirdo.
Yes!!! Can you do a scrub ombre gel base? That'll be very helpful because even when i cure it it still has a sticky residue! So if you can show us this? If it's even possible?
thanks for an fun and informative lesson ... I'm wondering what dip base liquid product your using... I didn't see it in products used section ... Thanks again!
I have very thin nails and can not keep a natural free edge to save my life! Do the dip powders work with nail tips? I have never tried them and this looks so much easier than using acrylic or builder gels.
Baby Boomers are the babies born to the GIs after they came home from WWII. So, those of us born in the late 40’s and the 50’s. I don’t remember pink and white nails from my childhood, the big thing was bright red. My mom always had red. I was a teenager in the 60’s and 70’s and we all wore all white nails. It was very cool! I swore I would always have white nails and plaid bell bottom pants! LOL!
Wowwww, what's this.i don't know about it. Pls tell me, whatsvthe base jel used, what's dip powder, is that acrylic powder or something different product? Pls enlighten me, I m a beginner
Not really looking like it's ombre but I think the way you sprinkle on product was great.. This has to be worked quickly.. I'm going to use your technique but lower on the white and I'll miss a little white n pink for the middle and pink ontop.. 💗 Let's see if it works
Love this look Marla! I see you have a few Wet n Wild brushes in your Amazon storefront. Which are the ones you recommend for this application? Thanks! You are my “go to” for technique and products!
@@MarlaKris there is a large eyeshadow blending, eyeshadow crease and large concealer brush. The crease brush looks fluffy? Which other one? Thanks for clarifying 😁
😂 As I’m watching this my husband is sitting on other end of couch and said “ that’s what she said AHA AHA” right when it popped up on screen! 😂😂 Love a classic baby boomer, yours are flawless as usual ❤️
Very pretty. I actually think when I try this I’ll flip it so that the pink is at the top. I don’t want it to look like my tips are messed up if that makes sense? I also think it would be cool to do this with light pink and light blue like cotton candy :)
I love the look of baby boomer nails! I have never done it on myself but I want to! Yes I absolutely love Taco Bell. Unfortunately so does everyone in my smallish town . There is always a crazy line…..LOl
Marla! You’re my new favorite DIY dip « not nailtech » girl! LOL Having two questions: -What is that pink and white brush that you use? The bigger and rougher one. -And why do you use it? Does it help with something in particular? Thanks ♥️
I tried to read through some of the comments before I asked, I see you used that stuff brush to wipe away loose powder, I feel like that would rake all of my Powder off. What am I doing wrong?
That’s a valid concern! But once the base sets (only takes a few seconds) the powder that’s adhered is not going anywhere. If you brush too soon (if the base is still wet) then yep, it’ll mush things up. I like to use a fluffy brush first to see if it’s dry enough to scrub.
Honest question.. if you haven’t applied the activator yet, why is the stiff scrubby brush not taking off your dip powder? Or perhaps you are lightly brushing? … absolutely love the look though! You mentioned you would put links to the products in the description box but I didn’t see a link for the activator or the dip gel (or whatever it’s called right before you apply the powder) could someone help me out with this info? And again thanks for the content on how to make such beautiful baby boomer nails!! ❤
I got you! So the dip base, which is glue, does air set. So as long as you give it enough time to set (only a few seconds really), you can scrub off excess with no movement. The activator makes the glue super hard and completely dry and ready to file. I don’t recall which liquids I used for this video but my current favorites are the azure beauty dip liquids! I get them on amazon 💜
I used dip liquids for this ombré technique. I’ll link the liquids I used so you can see them💙 www.revelnail.com/collections/dip-liquid-sets/products/dip-powder-liquid-set-glass
Thank you! Yes, perhaps you missed it. I definitely brushed off excess using 2 different brushes (one fluffy and one stiff) and activated in the video!
Hi Marla, you are an expert on dip powder system. I have been offering dip with gel base because I had some sort of allergy to the glue system. However I have many clients that said gel isn’t that strong compared to glue dip. Do you know any company with glue dip system that I could start offering that is very good but better for us as we have to breathe that?
Love your videos! I am a brand new at dip powders and did my first set last night. Would love to try the baby boomer white tip nail next but as I learned doing my non dominant hand was harder than I thought. Any tips for an ombré for opposite hand? Or just practice makes perfect kind of thing? Thanks!!
Well, perfection is definitely an illusion! Practice makes progress! As far as using your non-dominant hand, I do have some tips! - make sure you eat and avoid caffeine! Reduce the shakes - keep your hand/wrist stabilized on your nail desk as much as possible - go SLOW and light-handed - practice on swatches if possible - do your dominant hand first that way you’re not fatigued after doing your non-dominant hand Hope that’s helpful!! 💞
DAGNABBIT!!! This dern new iPhone 14 keeps selecting “thumbs down” when I am THUMBS UPPING!!! Ahhhhh!🤬🤬 I’m able to correct it, but I hope this doesn’t affect your algorithm! Ughhhh, it does it for almost every video I try to react to! Anywayyyy, I was in my office alone and you said “it’s ok! If you want to make a dip powder mountain, you do you…” and there I go laughing out loud! Love this tutorial and can’t wait to see the rest!
@@dianehedricks7860 UA-cam actually changed things so we can’t see how many people “thumbs down” our videos. Way better for a lot of the creators mental health 🥰
Hey Marla! How do you not cross contaminate your white with the pink? I wouldn’t worry about the white in pink. But I have anxiety about screwing up my white.
Super get it. And there’s def the smallest amount of contamination but not enough to make a difference. If you’re very concerned about it, you can always pour a small amount into a diff jar or a cupcake liner and discard it after you’re done 💙
I thought it was for the post-WW2 Baby Boomers (up to 1965), and it was a softer, more natural look for the BBs because we're not supposed to wear bold makeup with older skin and complexions. TIL!
Love this. Baby Boomer era was mid 40’s to the early 1960’s. The time when WWII was over and all the soldiers came home, got married & started their family, thus a boom to the population.
That makes total sense!!
I’m a 1964 boomer. The last of a dying breed. Literally 😂
1946 - 1964 to be exact!😉
Right but why is this look called that? Was it popular back then? I thought it was newer

I want to try this looks so natural
Love how baby boomer makes nails look longer.
These are gorgeous! I'm gonna try this method and hopefully get a successful ombre set
You so got this! 🙌🏻❤️

I have very thin nails and can not keep a natural free edge to save my life! Do the dip powders work with nail tips? I have never tried them and this looks so much easier than using acrylic or builder gels.
Yes!! You’ll want to prep the tip well so the dip sticks to it but it works great! I’ll be filming a tip application with dip powder soon 💜
Baby Boomer 2022! Thank you!🥰😍💓😘
Lol you’re so welcome!! 💗
Baby Boomers are the babies born to the GIs after they came home from WWII. So, those of us born in the late 40’s and the 50’s.

Nice work!!! 💗🙏💗
Thanks so much! You can completely customize these to fit whatever nail type you like!! ❤️
Wowwww, what's this.i don't know about it. Pls tell me, whatsvthe base jel used, what's dip powder, is that acrylic powder or something different product? Pls enlighten me, I m a beginner
Hey love! Yes, it’s acrylic! I’ll link my dip for beginners video - it explains everything!

Not really looking like it's ombre but I think the way you sprinkle on product was great..
This has to be worked quickly.. I'm going to use your technique but lower on the white and I'll miss a little white n pink for the middle and pink ontop.. 💗
Let's see if it works
Love this look Marla! I see you have a few Wet n Wild brushes in your Amazon storefront. Which are the ones you recommend for this application? Thanks! You are my “go to” for technique and products!
I always grab the 2 sizes of eye shadow brushes.. the fluffier is great to tap ombré and the smaller, more dense is great for scrub or press ombré 💜
@@MarlaKris there is a large eyeshadow blending, eyeshadow crease and large concealer brush. The crease brush looks fluffy? Which other one? Thanks for clarifying 😁
These are beautiful! I can't tell if you're actually dipping the nail or are you just pointing the nail down and dusting off the excess???
Yep just pointing the finger down ❤️
Beauuutiiifffuuullll
Thanks so much, lovebug! ❤️
Love this look!! How long did it take you to come up with your technique or did someone show you how??
It’s definitely not an original technique! I learned it a few years ago and it’s been a go-to ever since! ❤️
Super cute! Can you validate- is it 3 layers of the ombré and one layer of clear dip?
Totally depends on your nails and the opacity of the colors you’re using but I did 3 layers of ombré and one dip in clear 💞
😂 As I’m watching this my husband is sitting on other end of couch and said “ that’s what she said AHA AHA” right when it popped up on screen! 😂😂
Love a classic baby boomer, yours are flawless as usual ❤️
🤣😂 perfectly timed lol
Thank you so much, love! 💗
What is the link for the build powder after the set is ready to be filed
Down.
Also, did you use UNT peel base prior to the base coat? And why can we not get that peel base in Canada?!
I did.. I think Canada has some restrictions on any liquids coming from other countries right now
Very pretty. I actually think when I try this I’ll flip it so that the pink is at the top. I don’t want it to look like my tips are messed up if that makes sense? I also think it would be cool to do this with light pink and light blue like cotton candy :)
Oooh that would look beautiful!! 😍
I love the look of baby boomer nails! I have never done it on myself but I want to! Yes I absolutely love Taco Bell. Unfortunately so does everyone in my smallish town . There is always a crazy line…..LOl
🤣😂 gotta go at the right time.. after 4pm it’s insanity
Thank You ❤🥰
Marla! You’re my new favorite DIY dip « not nailtech » girl! LOL
Having two questions:
-What is that pink and white brush that you use? The bigger and rougher one.
-And why do you use it? Does it help with something in particular?
Thanks ♥️
Aww shucks 🥹 thank you!!
- it’s a stubby manicure brush! It just helps to remove all the dust and powder off the nail which can reduce contamination
Very nice! Which set of dip liquids are you using for this baby boomer application?
Thank you!! I believe those were liquids from Gigis custom dips but you can use any liquids you love!
Does dip powder make your nails stronger?
I tried to read through some of the comments before I asked, I see you used that stuff brush to wipe away loose powder, I feel like that would rake all

Hi Marla!!!! I love your nail tutorials! Just wondering, can you also do this with gel base and top coat with dip powder too??

@@MarlaKris thank you!!!! I’d love to see a tutorial like this using gel liquids! I’m still learning, but it’s so fun to watch!
This looks amazing!💅💖🥰 Are you just putting on the base and powder then dusting powder off? You dont need to cure or activate it to brush off excess?
Thank you! Yes, perhaps you missed it. I definitely brushed off excess using 2 different brushes (one fluffy and one stiff) and activated in the video!
@@MarlaKris yes.. my question was can you brush off excess without activating
@@adrialee8149 oh yeah! I wouldn’t recommend activating until you remove all excess.

Absolutely! The sparkle and Co low scent as well as the Sundara low scent are great! Essentially odorless. Stick with a gel top tho 🤍
@@MarlaKris I would love to but few clients really want the glue.
So I kind of have to because I don’t want to loose my clients

I’ve never seen dip powder applied with brushes like this. Taking notes lol!

I tried using the hard brush to wipe off excess powder and it moved the dip. What am I doing wrong?

Ughhhh, it does it for almost every video I try to react to! Anywayyyy, I was in my office alone and you said “it’s ok! If you want to make a dip powder mountain, you do you…” and there I go laughing out loud! Love this tutorial and can’t wait to see the rest!
🤣😂 thumbs down count as engagement so it’s actually helpful lol jokes on the haters!!
@@MarlaKris I’m glad! I correct it every time it does that ish, but it worries me that anyone would think someone is putting down their video.
@@dianehedricks7860 UA-cam actually changed things so we can’t see how many people “thumbs down” our videos. Way better for a lot of the creators mental health 🥰
@@MarlaKris I’m so GLAD! Mine was sooo unintentional!🥺
Hey Marla! How do you not cross contaminate your white with the pink? I wouldn’t worry about the white in pink. But I have anxiety about screwing up my white.
Super get it. And there’s def the smallest amount of contamination but not enough to make a difference. If you’re very concerned about it, you can always pour a small amount into a diff jar or a cupcake liner and discard it after you’re done 💙
I thought it was for the post-WW2 Baby Boomers (up to 1965), and it was a softer, more natural look for the BBs because we're not supposed to wear bold makeup with older skin and complexions. TIL!
Very well could be 🤷🏻♀️ and eff these rules 😤 wear what we wanna wear!!
