I really enjoy this video. You didn’t fill it up with a A bunch of useless chatter. You are right to the point, your details were very clear, and I appreciate it. I’ve been doing my nails for about two years and one thing I do dread is soaking off. I like to change my nails every week and this will be very helpful.
Girlllllllll!!!! NOW I know why your videos really are my cup of tea!!!! Us “lefties” have to stick together!!!! We are the only ones in our “right” mind! I’m loving it!! Ok, let me shup and watch this video! Learning a TON!!!
Good video, love the tip about a toothbrush! I hate the liquids that come with the dip powders, I always use gel base coat, cure 30 seconds, then dip and repeat. Then gel top coat. They are so much easier that way, and look fantastic!
I am the same about changing up my nails, I’ve bought all these products, and have been been seeing all these different techniques with dip powders, press on nails and dual forms and I can’t wait to try and them all.
You said it perfectly with perfecting the soak off time but my nails keep feeling thin - you did a great 😊 job and I can’t wait to try this refill method 😊
Thank you so much! This is wonderful. I just started dipping because none of my local salons would be willing to even attempt filling dip powder. I can’t wait to get an E file and you make it look very easy. Thank you so much
Excellent video, thank you. I just hate using acetone, so I'm going to be brave and use the drill to remove my dip nails. And thanks for recommending that we start off drilling on low speed. Xoxo
Girl - omg -- I cannot even begin to say how much this is so helpful. I've been dipping my own nails for about 2 years now and you're right - when I soak off, my nails are thin. I'm going to try this method because when I don't like the color - I"m basically stuck with it because I'm not trying to go through the whoooooole process again for another 3-4 weeks. And, I'm going to check out sparkle and co... I've been using revel and Kiara sky
Yay!! I’m so glad this helped you. You’ll love this method once you get the hang of it! It gives you soo much more freedom to do anything you want. I can’t stand soaking off. Lol. Let me know if you have any questions when you try it. 😉
God send! I just started doing my nails this summer but I was doing gel ex. Having to soak it all off and resize and reapply was annoying me so this is the new method I want to try.
Wow! I learned A TON! Your videoing is EXCELLENT!!!! I love how you lightly touch some remaining lifting areas!!! I could see EXACTLY what you were doing!!!! EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!🥰
Thanks for this dip powder info. I’m on the Sparkle website rt now b/c of you, getting a starter pkg. I’m a newbie at 68, wanted to find a product that’s user friendly. Ordering the drill too from Amz. You’ve provided great content, that has been really helpful. Very much appreciated. 💅 Subscribed💕
Thank you so much for these videos! I'm trying to get away from gelly tips, builder gels and UV lights because my nails are lifting from the nail beds a little. So I took everything off, cut them down and am waiting for them to heal. Once they do, I'm going to start following your method! I can't wait. ❤❤
Thanks for this because I really hate going to the nail salon so I have been trying to learn to do my own. I'm a little intimated by the drill part but I think I'm going to go for it. Anyway, I look forward to the peel color videos because I've never heard of that lol
You’re welcome! It’s really not as hard as you may think. The more you do it the easier it get. Have fin with it. If I can do this anyone can. It just takes a little patience. I’ll have the peel base video up soon!
How often do you do your refills? And how do you get it to last as long as you have without lifting or peeling especially on the free edge? Asking because I want my dips to last long too but they begin to peel around the free edge when I scratch. Great work btw 🤩
Hey! Make sure you use good quality products. I can usually go 2 week or so without issue. They are easy to fix if I have minor lifting. The process in this video is done about every 2-3 weeks
Very helpful! I’m new to dip powder and have only done the gel polish method because I’ve heard of the dip powder flu and that made me very nervous. What are your thoughts and how prevalent do you think the dip powder flu is
Dip flu is very person specific. I personally have never gotten it but I know others have. Unfortunately the only way to find out is to try. It’s likely that it won’t bother you at all.
Hey there. My base layer is simply clear dip powder. I do 2-3 layer of clear on my natural nails, activate, file, buff and apply my top coat. I apply my peel base and color on top of that. I hope that helps. :)
My nail tech told me that no one will do dip powder fills because dip powder is relatively soft and it’s easy for fungus/bacteria to form between the old set and the fill in because air pockets and moisture can get in between the old powder and the new powder. This powder is dry applied dry as opposed to acrylic, so it doesn’t adhere to itself as seamlessly as an acrylic fill creating the opportunity for air pockets between the sets. If that makes sense
Hmm….my nails as shown here in this video are after 1 yr doing this. I have never had a problem with ANY type of fungus. Not once. I wouldn’t try this with color dip powder because you can’t see if there is anything developing on the nail. I only do this with clear dip powder. If I see lifted areas I correct it before a problem develops. I honestly have never had a problem doing my nails this way. I hope that helps. :)
@cricket lavish I’m not a professional so I never said I personally know anything. Just what the tech said. Sorry if I didn’t explain that well enough for u. Thnx for ur input ;)
You always use activator twice once after applying dip powder and once after filing, you definitely need after filing because it cures the product again from all the filing, skipping the second activator application could cause your dip powder to chip and break quicker because it needs that final cure before top coating, hopes that makes sense😊
I actually didn’t see these on the Amazon site to add. I’m going to the beauty supply store I bought them tomorrow. I’m there all the time unfortunately. Lol. I’ll check for you and let you know. 😉
Ok so I have to try this because I was using sns clear dip powder for a year because my gel polish keeps peeling off and the soak off was thinning my nails. So I switched back to builder in a bottle soak off. I want to go back but don't know why my gel polish peels off the dip powder. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much for this video! My nails were thinning out so much from soaking off with acetone 🥲 I didn’t know fill-ins were an option for dip powder cus the nail salons I went to always did a new set for dips so that’s what I thought was normal. And thank you for recommending the ceramic file bits, I bought the set after watching your video and I love them!

Hahaha!! Yessss. Lefties unite! I love being left handed. It’s so unique. I love all lefties. My girl!! 😉

And don’t have to worry about hardening your top coat with the activator and you don’t have to buy all that extra bottles.
I am the same about changing up my nails, I’ve bought all these products, and have been been seeing all these different techniques with dip powders, press on nails and dual forms and I can’t wait to try and them all.
I always use this method. Much healthier. Not to mention quick! Great video. Thanks.
For sure!
Gorgeous nails, they look like gel!
Thank you!!

I'm doing this! Thank you thank you!!!!
You’re welcome
I just found you…how often do you record nail content? Loved watching.
Yay!! I’m glad you did. At least a few times a month! I’m a total nail junkie🤦🏽♀️🤣

Use a practice hand to start.
What bit were you using? Coarse? You were able to use the bit on your nail?
Love this! Thank you so much!
You’re welcome !

Hello wonderful video. My question is how do you do the original build so we don't have to soak off.

@@ItsCinnaMe I’m glad you’ve had success. It really is a pain to soak off the whole nail just for a fill!
@cricket lavish I’m not a professional so I never said I personally know anything. Just what the tech said. Sorry if I didn’t explain that well enough for u. Thnx for ur input ;)
Thank you so much. Great video!! New sub here!!
Yay!! Glad you liked it. 😊
Question....why did you use activator twice? I thought you apply activator then shape and file...then top coat. im confused! 🤔
You always use activator twice once after applying dip powder and once after filing, you definitely need after filing because it cures the product again from all the filing, skipping the second activator application could cause your dip powder to chip and break quicker because it needs that final cure before top coating, hopes that makes sense😊
You only need the second activator step to harden the top coat. Without that last step the top coat won’t harden. Activator is harding agent.
what is the grit of the last smooth buffer? I didn’t see it in your amazon list
I actually didn’t see these on the Amazon site to add. I’m going to the beauty supply store I bought them tomorrow. I’m there all the time unfortunately. Lol. I’ll check for you and let you know. 😉
So I went and checked today. Any grit 200-240 will work! 👍🏾
@@ItsCinnaMe thank you!! 💅🏻

The only way I’ve had success with gel staying in dip powder is to use a base coat.
