Your nails are my goal!! My nails are so weak and tear easily. I've been using Nailtiques 2 and 2 plus and have noticed growth!
Thank you! And that's fantastic!
Found you this morning in one of the Facebook groups that asked who had youtube videos. Your nails are gorgeous and I really love your video. Thorough, well paced, just well done.
Thank you so much for this feedback! It means so much to me as I'm still learning and growing ❤❤❤
New subscriber now great video
Thank you so much for such a clear instruction video! I’m completely new to dip and found your tips extremely helpful!!
Thank you so much for this video. I learned a lot!! xxoo
Your nails are seriously gorgeous!! Long nail beds look amazing!!
Thank you 😍
Through the algorithms I came across your a/c at the weekend just gone (your Pink Marble vid was the first I watched).
Happy I have stumbled across your as this is the best dip application I've seen to date.
The way you explained how to file upwards, to keep the Apex in check, makes so much sense.
I'll most definitely be saving this vid to my Nails: Dipping Powders list. 👌🏾💜
Thank you so much for the kind words! Happy to have you! ❤❤
Your share is stunning
Thank you so much!
Thank you 💜
Omg you are so talented, love this channel
How do you avoid getting white spots when filling!
I love the colors you used. If there is any chance they are still available what colors are they? Thank you. Great video!
I want to add nail stickers. Do you add the nail decor on absolutely last? After the last top coat dries? Thank you!
No you'll add it before top coating. How you do that and what kind of top you'll use will depend on the type of decor you use
How do you know when the dip liquid has dried under the powder?
Is it ok to cure the nails after you put on the activator? Then cure again after the top coat is put on?
You only need to cure UV gels.
Ok weird question i really hate the dip top coats does it cause a huge issue to use a gel top coat instead?
Not at all, you'll usually want to use gel base first then gel top. Just to help prevent peeling.
Thanks for the very helpful video. Just starting out and I think the grit on my buffing block at the end was too rough maybe??? Any recommended grit or brand you use for that step?
The blocks I like to use are pink ones I get from Sally's. They don't say a grit on them
I couldn’t really see which brand liquids you use? Is there a link? I’m starting to get dip flu with my current liquids 🥺
I use Double Dipp'd, but I can tell you that switching liquids is rarely an easy fix for dip flu. I got it a year into dipping.
Here's a video where I talk about that

@@MelissasManis I got it a few months in too. I saw a pattern and figured out that it was right after doing my nails. Which sucked! Thank you 😊
Hi Melissa, I found you via a Facebook group🤗. Which liquid set do you recomend for dip powder. Revel or double Dipp'd powder, please advise 🥰
Hi! I think I helped you in Discord 🥰
@@MelissasManis Yes you did. Thank you so much 🥰
I’m so excited I am waiting on my Double Dipp’d liquids I just purchased the base and activator. I skipped the top because I suffer from dip flu and I feel like it mostly comes from top coat. But I’ve heard nothing but good things about these liquids! 😍
They are fantastic liquids, especially for beginners! I've used 10 or so brands and these are by far my favorite.
What is dip flu?
When you use a peel off coat, do you still use the entire 5 liquid system?
With peel base I only use the dip base, activator, and top. I'll use the bond on the nail before builder gel though.
@@MelissasManis Thank you for the clarification! I appreciate it. My friends and I want to start helping each other with nails for cost reasons.
That's why I started also!
I know I’m late but what did you use after the file to make the nail shiny before applying activator and top coat
Between filing and activating I used a buffing block just to buff the surface smooth.
First here! 🙌🏻🥰 Whoop whoop! 🤣
I came to say the same thing! Lol..
Yahooooo! 😅🤣
@@PNWEmeraldQueen isn't awesome to be the first one. I got here 2 minutes after she uploaded and it had no views yet. I'm never that early! I was so excited lmao 😂
Kayla Strozina me either!! I feel like I miss everything!
Amazing!!! Those are so beautiful
Am I supposed to put activator on my mail after filing before putting on top coat? I dip color three times one dip of clear activate file then top coat.
Yes you need to activate again before the top coat. First activator application is to cure the base layers and dip, second activator application is to properly cure the top coat. Some liquids are different with timing regarding this than others.
is there ANYTHING, i can use with a gel and acrylic allergy
Ive never used dip powders but Im pretty sure all types of nail products will set me off. Makes me very sad as I got quite good at acrylics, then moved on to gel builders and had massive reaction, and remained allergic to all acrylics and gels after that :(
Do you know what ingredient in the products you specifically have an allergy to?
@@MelissasManis I've tried.to pin point by usin different brand and comparing ingredients. I also tried HEMA free products but they've all set me off to varying degree
@@Ova-bv4os oh no thats awful! Yeah I was thinking maybe HEMA/benzoyl peroxide as those tend to cause reactions for some people. I hope you figure it out!
Where did you get the cuticle stone?
You can get them on Amazon. Stone cuticle pusher
Awesome, thank you! I've been binge watching your videos all day lol
