As soon as you said, "I couldn't find the name on it anywhere," you turned it and the name was right there. Too funny lol 😹 Tailored For You is the color!
So glad you were able to try out Gelish. We love it when DIYers try out new products and is able to share their experience with others. Love this Marla. XO, Christina
Thanks again for sending all these goodies over for me!! I appreciate you!! 💕
I have been at home dipping since about march 2020, and when I first started dipping I use to get the dip flu really bad. I would have to wear a mask while doing my nails. Now I do not get bothered by it. Its like my body became immune to it after a while lol
Oh that’s awesome!! I’m glad you’re not bothered by it anymore! 🙌🏻
Took your advice and bought mani boss. Omg, I am in love. Works great on my clients as well. 2 week wear and time for clean up.
Yay!! 🙌🏻🎉 I knew you’d love her products!!
I did my FIRST dip set on Monday 😁 I’m 13 and have been doing nails as a hobby for 3 years , I convinced my mom to let me go a step further in nails. She agreed to it. We ordered the Nailboo dip kit. 🤩I did my grandmas set too and both our nails came out LOVELY because of your videos! ❤️
Omgosh you’re just the sweetest!! This is awesome!! I’m so glad you’re loving doing your (and your grandmas) nails! 💕 That’s a fabulous momma you’ve got there!
@@MarlaKris thank you! She is definitely the best 👍🏻👍🏻
My granddaughter does it too! 💅
Queen of dip flu here! Every symptom imaginable I get! I mask 😷, I use fairy glamour because I’m also horribly allergic to hema. I use a gel top coat (aimeile hema free). I will be ordering a dust collector for filing because breathing in these product particles is not healthy.
I’m a gal who has a zillion dip powders, gels, stamping everythings, you name it! I love nail stuff, unfortunately, I’m horribly allergic. My recommendation is use a dust collector, mask, use hema free products and keep as much of it off of your skin.
Marla, love your channel, avid follower! ♥️ For what it’s worth, probably not much, that new music you used is not very Marla. There has to be a better option than that lol 😂. Aside from the new music, you are perfect 🤩 💃🙏💅!
Oh I already 86d the music 😂 I hate it too!!
Thank you so much for sharing, sweetness! ❤️
Oooh, that blue is adorbs! It gives a denim vibe. That top coat was def giving a great shine.
Total denim vibes!! 😍
Thank you Marla! I’ve been wondering about the gel products. You do such a great job on your nails too!
Omgosh you’re so welcome! And thank you!!❤️
I love this video!! As usual lol
Also I suffer from dip flu and I absolutely hateeeee it. I have found 2 companies with liquids that do not give me dip flu. I use Dip Nailed It liquids and Color My World Dips Odorless liquids. Both of these are amazing and I have had zero issues since I switched about 6 months ago. I have tried at least 10 different ones before these. 😬
That’s good to know!! Thanks so much for sharing that! 💕💕
That blue is beautiful!
Right?! Obsessed!!! 😍
Oooooo...Love the blue!!!!;🥰😍🤩💗! Must go look, hopefully not sold out!😁😘 Only 4 left of blue powder now but I was fast enough 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Oh damn!! Glad you were able to snatch one up!! 🙌🏻💕
Adorable!! Color combo is perfect and the flowers are the cutest!! ❤
Omgosh thank you!! 🥹💕
That's the perfect blue for autumn!
Totally agree!! 😍
Oh I love these colors. Marla, you have addicted me to DIY nails, definitely save a lot of time and money with purchasing products from Amazon. I love you suggestions over the many years. I have followed you since the very beginning. Much ❤️ 😍
You’ve been with me FOREVER!! I can thank you enough for your continued support 🥹🥰
“I’m Marla. I don’t have a license.” 🤣🤣🤣. Love this mani! The salon I used to go to used a lot of Gelish products. They must like them!
🤭🤪
I can’t believe I’ve never used the gel polish before!
BEAUTIFUL! That blue is gorgeous!
Right?! Thanks sweets! 💕
Love the mani 😍. I was always under the impression that if I wanted a good mani I had to invest in high priced dips. I see you using makartt and gelish which is affordable for everything you get in the kit and still rock them. I know not to ever get violets dips lol 😆 I will be purchasing gelish dips I also fell in love with gellen pastel colors 💕 thanks for trying kits and giving us your honest reviews 🥰
Omgosh you’re so welcome! It’s my pleasure, sweets! 🥰
@@MarlaKris 💞🤗
Love this video I have been doing my nails for about 3 months and love seeing new products and your opinions help make good choices when going to buy product!! Thank you!! Have you ever tried Cali girl dips?? They have really beautiful glitters so your videos help in figuring out how to use them
I don’t think I’ve tried hem yet! Maybe I need to?
The color is “tailored for you”. It’s right above the instructions 🙂I’ve used their gel polishes forever. I dip now and sometimes use gel and gelish is my go too.
Pfft.. right in front of my face! 🙈
Such a pretty mani as always darling!💜💜💜
Thank you so much, lovebug! 🥰
I cannot use most dip liquids due to allergies. I did try Sundara and had no problems at all. Like you said, some do dry slower but does work.
Outstanding! Glad that worked for you!! 🙌🏻❤️
I love this mani! The colors are beautiful. Did you happen to swatch that third dip? It looks like a color I'd love.
I've only tried one Gelish product, a gel polish that I was not at all happy with. It's a great color but it takes 5 our 6 coats to get even coverage. I got so frustrated with it! That's when I started looking into dips. I wonder if they've improved any.
Maybe they reformulated? These were super opaque! I didn’t swatch it but it’s GORG!!! Midnight blue shimmer! 😍
may matter the color too. lighter shades require a lot more
@@erincampbell2284 It was a really dark red.
such a cute mani!!
Thanks darlin!!❤️❤️
Love this technique. They look fabulous. Did you cure after the nail art before the gel base coat?
Thank you so much!! Yes - I cure everything is stages so nothing smears!
blue gel polish is called tailored for you ,gelish polish all have weird names its above the directions on the bottle
Thank you!! ❤️
Cute set!!
Thanks lovie! ❤️
Gorgeous!
Beautiful blue! Almost a slate blue.
YASS!! 🙌🏻😍
Such a cute and easy mani! I have dotting tools now I am armed and dangerous for cute manis!! LOL you are a great teacher!!thank you!
🤣😂 do ALL the flower manis!!! 💕
I just bought the prettiest fall color by Gelish today. Took 3 coats to get opaque.... but I love it!! I just wish it had fuller coverage.... but it could've been the color I chose too.
Was it a lighter shade?
@@MarlaKris No, actually it is a really pretty brown-purple colored shade with glitter, named "Seal the Deal". Peeled off in less than a day with out using peelable base....😮💨 DANG IT!! lol
I'm torn between makartt dip liquids and sparkle and co liquids, which one would you choose?
I’d grab the Makartt!
So beautiful! 💙💙
Thank you so much, love! 💕
Gelish was my first dip kit that I got! I still use it for swatching. I feel like it does get contaminated easily if you activate. I didn't even think about skipping that step. I also think it has a very fast dry time so it was a little difficult to learn with. I have had it dry before I even got the powder on sometimes haha.
I can see how that could happen! Sometimes more is more lol
Hi Marla, first of all you are amazing! Thank you for all you do for us diyers! I am a dip flu and gel (hema incl) sufferer. I have found Royal Dips (Canada) works for dip flu. Still on the lookout for a gel option. Can you do a review of Light Elegance? (apparently it is supposed to be a solution). Thanks!
Omgosh you’re so darn sweet 🥰 Thank you for your kindness!!
It’s definitely on my list to try!! 💕
Hi your nails look good I been following you from day one I don’t know how I got onchocerciasis on my nails?Yet all the doctor told me was to stop using gel or dipping powder.
Oh no! Ok I would stop using gel for a while and see if things improve. If not, stop the dip as well.
@@MarlaKris Thank you,
I get up sooooooo early now that School is back in session!!! LOL! The County is STILL trying to educate me!!!!!!!!! Loud Laughter ensuing!!! I am up at 5am stumbling around. My son takes off around 6am & THAT is when I get a heaping Cup of Joe!!! HAHAHA! Oooooooh Ahhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhh!!! That blue is Magnificent!!! 2 very pretty Thumbs & nails up!!!!
Oye that’s way too early!! 🥱 Thank you so much, sweetness! 🥰
Does one have to “rough up” their nails to get it to stick well?
That’s totally dependent on your nail type. If you’re having adhesion issues, I would suggest trying to rough up the nails slightly ❤️
I've been seeing something from Gelish that looks fairly new. It's called, "Gelish dip ombre coat". I've seen a few short clips of the product but I'm still confused of what it actually is. Maybe you might be able to find out more about it?
I’ve never heard of it but I’ll do a little digging!
I notice you don’t wipe your base brush anymore after going over the first layer of color. Is that because it’s wiped off with the stiff brush so less likely to contaminate your base?
Yes exactly! Way less risk of contaminating when there less excess on the nail!
I get Dip Flu very bad - I have used Sparkle & Co low odor base since it came out and I love it. I use Revel's glass shield gel top coat most of the time with it (does not need a base coat).
Outstanding!! So glad you found something that works for you! 💕
Love this shade of 💙🥰
Me tooooooo! 😍
I found low odor/odorless liquids from Color My World (Etsy shop) and triple D. Both did a great job, didn’t cause me dip flu (I get it really bad, like a week long complete flu nasty nose & cough).
The triple D base doesn’t dry as fast but the top coat seems to dry in a normal time, I wait 5 minutes to be safe and it’s completely dry. I don’t remember how long color my world’s base takes to dry between coats but the top seems to dry in a normal length. I feel like the triple d too is a little more glossy but the color my world feels less brittle. Just had to order more and switched back to cmw
Yeah I’ve found the same with low scent liquids.. super slow drying. I’m so glad you found something that works well for you!! 🙌🏻💕
Marla!! Is this liquid fast drying or medium???
It’s a solid medium on the dry time! 🙌🏻
@@MarlaKris so how long would you say you wait before using your stiff brush???
Good morning. I haven't slept yet, but I wanted to watch first. Lol. #NailgicianAddiction 😂
Lady go to sleep!! 🤣
@@MarlaKris 😂
Beautiful 💅🏾
Thanks so much, love! ❤️
I have been dipping for a year and a half and discovered I had dip flu pretty early on. Since then I have gotten a respirator (they're on Amazon, not very expensive) mask that people.use for painting/fumes. That helps me. I make sure to leave the mask on until the fumes clear (15 mins) or leave that room entirely before taking off the mask. I tried gel prev and developed an allergy to that, too, even HEMA free bothers me. 🙄 I have to be very careful with application but I do use gel topcoat because I don't like dip topcoat.
I’m so glad you found something that helps! 🎉💕🙌🏻
Oh my goodness, both those colors are gorgeous, the lighter color could be worn with anything and the blue is to die for. Would love to see that third color they sent you it looked really pretty with sparklies in it.
It’s the prettiest night sky shade! 😍
What is "dip flu"?
It’s basically an allergy type reaction some people have to the dip liquids. Usually includes symptoms like congestion, cough, kinda like allergies
Let me begin by saying i love my gelish dip and all my nail harmony products, i haven't and can't bring myself to try another dip system. BUT.....
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THE DIP TOP COAT IT IS THE DEVIL IN A BOTTLE! Seriously i used to have 3 bottles on the go to get thru one hand, with 3 bottles of brush cleaner so i could top coat the other hand a few hours later.. you can wipe that activator till the cows come home and the top coat brush will STILL harden quicker and stiffer than Ron Jeremy!! What you should do with the top coat is a video using it in place of the base coat cuz it is bloody fantastic for that! It's so much thinner and doesn't dry in seconds in the warmer weather leaving a really shtty patchy powder pick up like the base coat does.. and the bottle of top coat won't be murdered by the xpress powder like the base coat, I've lost 5 bottles of base coat to the xpress powder within 7 months.. now i use the top coat as the base for xpress and only use the base as base with their original powders and I'm on a winning streak 😄
If you do attempt the top coat DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES breathe too close to it, have a fan or air con on, let anyone come close to you or open a door to cause a draft and do not move!! It will dry patchy 😬
Gelish dip has given me some pretty severe dip flu in the early days, i worked out it's filing off the base coat application in the middle of the whole process, slightly alleviated by wearing a face mask while filing, but ultimately does literally not occur if I just activate and file without the extra slather of base coat 🤷♀️
Here's a funny story for ya - i got the largest bottle of the prohesion monomer for a ridiculously cheap price super excited to use the original dip powders with it, except even after letting my trial beads sit for a coupla days they were still pliable and i could not work out wtf was going on.. i rang my national educator and she says "it's still dip powder you've still gotta use the activator for it to harden" ... i felt like the biggest idiot 🤣
This whole comment has be DEAD 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 ☠️
Thank you for the advice/warnings!! And the story lol we’ve all done the things!! My first dip experience, I decided I knew better and used NAIL POLISH BASE COAT 🤦🏻♀️
@@MarlaKris glad i could brighten your day 😄 my relationship with gelish dip is a "better the devil you know" situation now, I've got most of it worked out and I've overcommitted myself to making it happen and it's too much effort to start again with another brand 🤣 the new colours look fab! They usually launch in the land down under about 6 months after the US release.. it's going to be a long wait for that blue 😍
There is more useful info in this comment and this video than 15 other videos combined. 🙌🏼
gelish polish usually have a number only.
Hi marla😍
Hey lovebug! 💕
Awww how come up cut your nails I look your nails long
They’ll be back! ☺️❤️
The info was good, but...
