Love dip powder nails! For those commenting below not getting the point of trying this system: For me, this has been a Godsend after developing an allergy to the liquid polymer used for traditional acrylic nails (even though I had been getting them done for years). Now I get to enjoy the look and feel of regular acrylics but without the horrible allergic reaction, Looking to graduate to doing them on my own since this service is double the price of a regular acrylic full set/refill at my local nail shops in NYC. Thanks for the video!
I had been getting sns for about a year and took the pluge to buy my own supplies. I got the Quick Dip kit from Sally Beauty and have done 2 sets so far. Super easy. Honestly I think its easier than normal polish becuase you cant do it too thick ot thin and it dries instantaneously.
I LOVE dip nails! I've been doing my own at home for a little over 2 years. A couple of tips: - The "seal protect" is a resin activator. It's job is to dry and harden the base, so you don't have to wait for the nails to dry fully before you apply it. You'll get a smoother result if you give it a minute to let the surface set before you apply it, but you don't have to. - You can use this over tips. I usually add an extra coat or two for strength when I do that, and try to build a little bit of an apex by doing a partial layer where I need more height. (That's what the 3/4 nail natural layer is for.) - It's not as strong as acrylics, but is is considerably stronger than gel polish. (Gel polish doesn't keep my nails from bending and snag, but this is pretty rigid.) Plus it makes that satisfying "click click" noise. :) - I get the "bunching" when I've applied too much base. Thinner layers usually don't bunch, but then if you don't apply enough, it can look a little grainy. One tutorial I saw suggests shaking the powder to "fluff it up" before opening the container. - I definitely recommend leaving a tiny gap at the cuticle. It is much more likely to lift if it touches. To give myself some wiggle-room, I usually paint the first full-nail layer a little conservatively, then finalize the cuticle line with the last coat. I think that took me a year to get right, but then, I could barely paint my nails when I started... - You can also do some fun art with this system like ombre (2:06 here: ua-cam.com/video/QW3svEazLJs/v-deo.htmlm6s ), color tips (8:38 at ua-cam.com/video/iJlr2qQfRs8/v-deo.htmlm36s ), and gloss-on-matte effects (17:46 here: ua-cam.com/video/p2aKE-LYfks/v-deo.htmlm46s it's in Vietnamese, but you can figure it out by watching). You can also do a matte look by buffing the surface and skipping the top coat. I'm glad you're doing a french tutorial next! I think that's where this type of system really shines, since it makes shaping the smile line really easy. My only complaint with dip powders is that it can be really hard to tell what color you're getting. The powders often look very different from the finished product, and most manufacturers don't show real nail swatches. I bought 6 different dark purples before I found one in the right ballpark. Kiara Sky is great in that regard because they are matching their powders to their gel and lacquer colors, and it's easy to find real life images of those.
Hi Nadira, I know that I can use normal nail polish on top of SNS but can I put gel soak off/shellac nail polish? I have plenty of gel polishes I don’t want to throw into the bin
Hey Susie, quick tip! After dipping the nail, wait about 10 seconds and then brush off nail/finger with fluffy brush. This gets off any excess powder and keeps from contaminating the application brush ❤️
This video was excellently done! I enjoyed every second! I have dipped nails and was looking for way to replace having to spend $40 every 3-4 weeks on getting them done. They are actually WAY more comfy than acrylic nails. They feel like my nails. I recommend using your own nails, letting them grow, and then using multiple coats to get the thickness/strength needed.
Suzie, is a awesome teacher. I took her nail tec course. I no longer have clients but I love watching her videos to keep up to date, just in case I want to earn a little money on the side besides my chosen career as an EA. She is exactly who you see on the videos, fun and such a good teacher. She makes learning fun and informative.
I just purchased the all-in-one master collection as a surprise gift for my daughter. I'm watching this video to contain my excitement for her until they arrive.
Im 23 years old. I bit my nails until i was 15 then finally quit and hoped for beautiful nails. Ive tried to grow them for almost 9 years now and they break and peel so bad. I always said id never get my nails done but ive waited patiently for so long and ive given in. Im gonna attempt a dip system in a couple days with tips. I couldnt be more excited and ive been drowning in your videos the past couple days. You have an amazing channel. Thank you so much
This channel just calms me so much. It's so awesome. Thank you for teaching us all so much about nails. I'm going to do a natural nail manicure right now.
I buy regular acrylic clear powder, and brush on gel from Sallys. I dip 4 times brushing off the excess off,in between each dip. Then spray a resin cure then file like I would with acrylic nails, they are just as thick and last just as long. I do a fill every two weeks. And you can paint them like regular acrylics. I love them, it takes me two hours to do my own acrylics, because I don't have a drill. But doing the dip nails it only takes me an hour for a full set.
soychelsea don't you love it?! I buy everything at Sallys, and it lasts forever. I bought the nail tips there too. It took me a couple tries to get it perfect. But I wouldn't use primer and the dehydrate because for some reason the nails don't stick. If you file your nail and the nail tip you won't have any lifting and they last two weeks too. If you dip 3-4 Times give it plenty of curing time so they harden or you will file away in chunks and it will ruin it.
I just started with the dipping system a few weeks ago, and have found it’s helping my natural nails grow out as the coating is so strong. I went with the Revel system, as it’s a little cheaper, and customer service is great. They even comp you free powders every once in a while, and you can earn reward points for coupons. I love seeing you try these things out!
Nail Career Education how do go on to buy this ? it asks for a cop code to buy it on info I need to fill out but I'm from Canada Ontario so it won't allow me to order ?? how do I go abouts ordering something that I can't purchase because I live in Canada Ontario ....??? pls help thx
I just got my kit so excited I opted to buy the other kit though it comes with the dip powder recycling system which is a huge deal it’s kind of pricey by itself plus the French nail kit does not come with clear however if you do want that kit asp from Sally’s bonds wonderfully with it I’ve discovered it’s pretty universal can be used with other dips Amazon sells these couldn’t be happier with the product! If anyone has questions please ask I’m not a pro tech but I am a fellow diy nail enthusiast that has taken the time to really learn the art of nails I’ve also tried several dip powders including Walmart’s serendipity dip which I’d say the system sucks but the colors are workable!
in theory wherever the liquid gets put the powder stays. So if you put little dots of liquid or some design then there would be a design with the color.
Love how you teach. You're also a wonderful teacher. I want to find a school for nails that's inexpensive because I can't walk very well and this interested me from day 1!
I just love your videos. Your voice is so soothing. I you remind me of a sweet preschool teacher (your voice). Your nails always look amazing annnd you have the perfect hands for them. 😍
This lady is amazing I've watched many videos and never really understood how they do things. Her instructions how to do things are 100% spot on I get so focused on her videos it feels like I'm having a one to one tutorial with her
Finally!!!!’ An awesome video on how to tutorial! I bought the kit today and tried it with a dark color, highly do not recommend if you are not a nail tech. Play around with light colors and make sure you use a brush. Huge difference
@@tammyt.b.1078 Revel does have one where you get to choose more than one color. I just got it about 4 weeks ago. They do have a lot to choose from and they have afterpay too.
You are the first nails technician I saw on UA-cam and I love your videos. I find that you make them really fun to watch and I love hearing your thoughts on the product you test and I love hearing the ideas you might have to help improve or your ideas for different designs. Thank you for sharing
I get the SNS powder nails, which is pretty much just like what you did. they are so good. Ive had them off and on for years and everytime I get them taken off or they come off my nails are strong and not yellow.
Emily Caitlynn I have those too! But, whenever I take them off, they make my nails VERY weak because of how thick the powder is. I'm got used to the thickness and my nails break because they are so used to the thickness
yours turned out so much better then mine. and yes you can use tips. and tapping your finer over the power saves the power from getting g mixed up. to be the colors are great for spring and Easter.
Nail Career Education I noticed you don't shake any of your polishes, is there a reason for that? Because I've always thought that was necessary. Actually I shake the heck outta mine before I use it..
I just got my first kiara sky dip manicure at the salon and I am in love with it. I can normally do my own manicure with regular polish. I think after watching this and the nail tech, I might be able to do this own at home. I like that you don’t have to nuke your nails!
I have had SNS powder dip nails for a long time and I love them. They last a full 4 weeks between sets. My tech is quick and it takes about 45 mins for a full set. She does a soak off that is not acetone and smells quite pleasant. It is SUPER strong and I almost never have a break. When I do she either builds out a bit with the powder and base or uses a tip. I think they are MUCH stronger than acrylic.
I got dip nails in February (after all my nails broke and were short) and it's may and my nails still haven't recovered from the tech using an efile on my nails. I loved them but my nails would've grown out fine by now. Rip :( I love watching these videos. I have nothing to do with the nail world aside from getting my nails done occasionally and Suzie's voice helps me be able to sleep and chill out.
That step is just to build the apex, so it doesn't matter what color she did it in. She just did that step in the same color as the nail to make it easier
Hey Suzie!! I really appreciate your videos. You're so precise, classy, clear, and a nail god lol! I really like that you're so creative and aren't afraid to rock fashion statement nails like most women your age would! Most nail art UA-camrs who rock fashion statement nails have videos that are OVER-THE-TOP and annoying. I like that you show awesome nail designs, but in a mature way!! Thanks so much for your knowledge. KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING!!
This is too funny because this is the method we use in Quebec for years, it's the technique I use and what most nail techs use here, acrylic and gel is less common here, it's called resin and powder ... it lasts up to a month depending on how fast and careful you are with your nails and it is strong you can apply this on natural nails or on tips and build it up to make a stress point and all that good stuff like you would gel or acrylic...
Ya it's been around for some time now - this company has put it together in a very relatable way. This dip system IS acrylic. It's simply applied with Resin instead of Monomer, but your still using an acrylic powder. Which is great - I love acrylic. Good comment Sarah
Susie! I am impatiently waiting for your next video. I love your tutorials. I have started to do my own nails and have learned so much just from watching you work! Thank you for the education!
I just love the starter kit it just have everything you need, you do not find a lot of full starter kits like this. And I love your videos I love watching you work. I also learned about kiarasky products by watching you, I loved her products from your first video of her products
I have this system at home, and it takes my 5 minutes to get strong 'salon' nails. I am highly allergic to certain polymers in Gel or Shellac type polish. So this system is my life saver, as i am never allowed to do acrylics or anything similar. My nails are strong and long without the need of extensions. Important to always use acetone to remove, never to rip the overlay off - don't make my first time mistakes. It is expensive, but so worth it. It's one of those things that you only need to buy once and you never need to buy anything ever again. If i am bored or want to change it up, i use regular nail polish on top and remove with a non-acetone remover to keep my dipping system in place. Wish i got sent KS stuff >.< So lucky.
M.m. Belle hi ,im allergic to acrylic and gel so I wondered if this would work for me .from gel and acrylic my nals got red and swollen and really itchy,you had same reaction? Really glad to find your comment as my natural nails is so short and brakes easily,so i am looking for some alternative i can use on my nails as i saw they use this powders on tips as well.
Yes that sounds like me, i got a mixture of somthing called pompholyx and allergic dermatitis where the the fissues, swelling, cracks and itchyness comes later. Because i was stubborn i kept using shellac over and over and thus enforcing the allergy. As a result i now seem to have dermatitis permanently on the my pointer finger right hand and some on my thumb too. When they flare, i use a healing cream and cover them up with a strong bandaid and change every night. When its not flared its all good. I have used the system now about 4 to 5 times since i bought it in october and i have not 1 regret, i still have to master the system and take my time because of the impatient person i am, but i will get there and now i can at least enjoy strong nails that don't f*** up my hands. I like it how i can apply my normal nail polish on top to change colours regularly. Because let face it, im already stubborn and impatient, i may as well be fickle too! lol
That's what I am hoping to do. Use this as a base to keep my nails strong and then switch out the color with regular nail polish. Can you use this top coat/seal on regular nail polish?
Hi Suzie, Just wanted to say hi from a new subscriber. My 7 year old son and myself love watching your videos and he is now a big fan as well! We start every video with him shouting out "hello Suzie!" and he especially likes it when you do your "air dry" hand motions! Thanks again for all your clear and unbiased advice-it really does help!
wow...my little lad is SUPER excited that you replied-thank you so much for making him feel special! Can't wait till Kiara Sky becomes available here in England, then we can try to put all your advice to good use! 😊
I have my Kiara Sky a-May-zing bundle starter kit! It’s surreal I never in 1 year lol thought I’d have this in my possession. Thanks to you Suzie I’m accessing material Is always dreamed of getting. I’m super happy and excited to use it. 🥰 much love to Kiara Sky too.
Suzie thank you so much for doing all these videos and sharing them with the public. I know you've helped me tremendously through the usual trial and error phase. Watching your videos saves me time, product and brainstrain as I try to figure things out! LOL Believe me, there's a lot of brainstrain too!! I just wanted to let you know that you are appreciated. You've taught me so much. I'd rather learn to do something on my own than pay a nail salon to do it. I'm off to glue on some tips and begin to dip! Have a great day and a fabulous weekend... and always remember to smile, it makes people wonder what you've been up to!! LOL ;)
where can I purchase this exact kit? The one retailing for $99 on their website only has limited colors: light pink, medium pink and dark pink. I prefer the vibrate colors you have besides if I'm spending $99 I should be able to choose my colors of choice.
Nikki Nicz hello. To save money, go on amazon and buy step 1,2,3,4 bottles (1-4 retailed $38 Canadian dollars on amazon.ca)!! And just buy your desired powders.
I love that you tried different things, like pouring the powder. I just had a beauty school do revel nail on me, and my first thought was wondering how it would react with pouring etc. Great vid!!
What kind of efile do you recommend for someone using this system that is an a limited budget? Mostly used to help remove it. Also do you have a video on how you remove dip nail products? Any help would be appreciated. Tia.
This dipping system reminds me of crystal nails. They taught us about them in beauty school. Also using the same products as a fiberglass/wrap application
yes, it is advised for a couple of reasons - ( i got so excited I forget it on the last fingers ) you don't have to have it but it is recommended - I'll explain in French Dip Video
you have so much patience. I have no patience at all and I could not even last through the first nail it seemed like it took up so much time. I barely have enough patience to just regularly paint my nails, let alone do a process with this many steps lol. love the colors though and as always I love the videos.
Suzie, watching you do all those steps with those containers of powder open and sitting there was giving me flashbacks to the time I dropped an open container of glitter on my bedroom floor.
Hey Susie, I wanted to tell you that I dip powder my nails at home, however, I don't have a dip kit or any of the dipping products. I use clear, either top or base coat to my nails them dip in white acrylic powder. Buff lightly them do the same thing 3 or 4 times. Oh, I do apply tips. My first set lasted 4 weeks. I'm on my second set. I'm on my second set. I love this procedure over acrylic and gel. I am not a professional
Kim B. It is a finely milled acrylic. I just use brush on nail glue an fine acrylic powder and a resin activator to cure. Ive been doing my nails this way for over a year. They don't lift and no smelly monomer.
Patty Mulcahy Jones I've been doing dipping powders myself on my natural nails but these products are so expensive I've been testing alternative powders. Wondering what some other options were. Which particular resin activator are you using?
Kim B. I do the same process for my nails but i use the the cheapest resin activator from Amazon (can't remember the name sorry) and nail glue with cheap acrylic powder and ir works fine, they do start to lift though
The Challengers Exactly! she must have forgotten...I was just getting ready to comment on that. After applying the 3/4 coat of liquid (#2) the natural was supposed to go on THEN you put the #2 liquid on all the way to the cuticle and dip in the color. She just kept skipping the natural powder step.
It really doesn't matter, they are all the same. Besides with the first two you kinda saw the natural powder peaking through. the other nails you won't see it so badly.
Yeah, I thought the same thing but then I remembered that she didn't do it on her natural nails so I guess it really didn't matter to put it on a fake nail.
I use Serendipity from Walmart. Put it over my natural nails for strength. I absolutely love it!! It's the best of both worlds!! I have my own long nails with the strength of acrylic!
Hello suzie love your vidios watch them all the time, I went on the site for these color dips I think they are ott the top for all the work you have to do and there is only pink I think in the color kit , you can buy dipping powders now from different places now from Rio that are around 20 pound so to make it simpler Ii don't think that many people will buy it at the price .xx
i use dipping system in my salon. it is actually a very easy system. You can use tips with these systems also. Suzie is correct that very little filing is required. It is great for people wanting enhancements only for a special event.
I have tried gel and acrylic and finally settled into the dipping powder which I use exclusively because the other two always broke. My nails have always been thin and brittle and the dipping powder method keeps them strong and they do not break. I just love it
i swear this woman is the bob ross of nail art. i feel so nurtured and happy watching these aww

Brooke Boncimino which kit did you get? Was it the ASP one? I recently got sns nails done and want to try a kit out. Does it last long for you?
That's probably because you are allergic to HEMA and this product does not contain it. :)
Do they harden similar to acrylic? My nails dont have any strength to them without acrylic

I get the dip powder method done on my nails and I love it. I've gotten silk wraps, acrylic, and gel before and this is by far my favorite.

Wow, Revel is only 38.00. I like their finish better as well. However, you only get 1 color but you get to choose.
Holy shit 😫🤭
@@tammyt.b.1078 Revel does have one where you get to choose more than one color. I just got it about 4 weeks ago. They do have a lot to choose from and they have afterpay too.
You are the first nails technician I saw on UA-cam and I love your videos. I find that you make them really fun to watch and I love hearing your thoughts on the product you test and I love hearing the ideas you might have to help improve or your ideas for different designs. Thank you for sharing
I get the SNS powder nails, which is pretty much just like what you did. they are so good. Ive had them off and on for years and everytime I get them taken off or they come off my nails are strong and not yellow.
Emily Caitlynn I have those too! But, whenever I take them off, they make my nails VERY weak because of how thick the powder is. I'm got used to the thickness and my nails break because they are so used to the thickness
@@alyssa.nguyen How did you take it off? Because it shouldn't make them weak after being removed.
I am so thankful I found you. I'm a "beauty school dropout" and have learned more from your videos than any instructor I've ever had. What a gem!
Id love to see you go over the steps for doing dip on natural nails with and without glue on tip extension
It is definitely as strong as a gel polish! I have it on natural nails right now and I am super happy with the strength it gave my nails!
You deserve more subscribers!!
Lily Andres Yes she does ! She's under-rated but does the best nails. I wish she could do my nails one day
Lily Andres Susie is a real pro!
Lily Andres She is amazing I always like to come back and get some awesome tips from her channel. 😊
lorna young
yours turned out so much better then mine. and yes you can use tips. and tapping your finer over the power saves the power from getting g mixed up. to be the colors are great for spring and Easter.
hey Susie! another artist does alcohol ink stone designs. id love to see your attempt at it and give your comments on alternate tools or methods.
yes, I have seen this - and I LOVE it - it is definitely on my list of "Videos TO DO"
AntiqueUnicorn sorry her name is suzie not susie
Nail Career Education I noticed you don't shake any of your polishes, is there a reason for that? Because I've always thought that was necessary. Actually I shake the heck outta mine before I use it..
The internet tells me that shaking introduces bubbles into the polish and you don't want that but rolling the bottle between your palms is ok.
chessur5kat Thank you for the info. I just thought it was odd, I don't see her do either.
I just got my first kiara sky dip manicure at the salon and I am in love with it. I can normally do my own manicure with regular polish. I think after watching this and the nail tech, I might be able to do this own at home. I like that you don’t have to nuke your nails!
She is so pleasant. I almost feel like I wish she was my mom.
Totally agree! Coffee, feet up, massive recliner, and HER informative, soothing videos. This IS my happy place! 🤗❤️🤗❤️
I love you Suzie your videos inspired me to ask my my mum to help me get into a nail school 💜💜
I have had SNS powder dip nails for a long time and I love them. They last a full 4 weeks between sets. My tech is quick and it takes about 45 mins for a full set. She does a soak off that is not acetone and smells quite pleasant. It is SUPER strong and I almost never have a break. When I do she either builds out a bit with the powder and base or uses a tip. I think they are MUCH stronger than acrylic.
I must say, Suzie''s hair looks so wonderful!
Did my nail twice with this set. Getting better every time. It's already paid for itself. Thanks for reviewing.
Your aesthetic is goals😍😍
I got dip nails in February (after all my nails broke and were short) and it's may and my nails still haven't recovered from the tech using an efile on my nails. I loved them but my nails would've grown out fine by now. Rip :(
I love watching these videos. I have nothing to do with the nail world aside from getting my nails done occasionally and Suzie's voice helps me be able to sleep and chill out.
I also got my gel nails removed about 2 months ago and the nails still haven't recovered from the e-file. all bumpy, lumpy and thin :(
I just bought this kit!!!!! So excited to try it when it comes!
i love the way you pointed out the challenges as you went along. an honest review
She forgot to dip the last three nails in the natural before the color. She just went straight to the color
Tori Mussler also all the
Filing dust must've gone into the powders
lenolivia omg I was thinking the same thing! lol I'm such a neat freak and don't like things to mix or get contaminated lol
She did it with the first 2 nails with the color "Sweet Tooth" and forgot with the pinkie, ring, and thumb
That step is just to build the apex, so it doesn't matter what color she did it in. She just did that step in the same color as the nail to make it easier
That annoyed me too! This reminds me of SNS dip powder but I don't think its the same stuff. I've had SNS and I love it
Hey Suzie!! I really appreciate your videos. You're so precise, classy, clear, and a nail god lol! I really like that you're so creative and aren't afraid to rock fashion statement nails like most women your age would! Most nail art UA-camrs who rock fashion statement nails have videos that are OVER-THE-TOP and annoying. I like that you show awesome nail designs, but in a mature way!! Thanks so much for your knowledge. KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING!!
This is too funny because this is the method we use in Quebec for years, it's the technique I use and what most nail techs use here, acrylic and gel is less common here, it's called resin and powder ... it lasts up to a month depending on how fast and careful you are with your nails and it is strong you can apply this on natural nails or on tips and build it up to make a stress point and all that good stuff like you would gel or acrylic...
Ya it's been around for some time now - this company has put it together in a very relatable way. This dip system IS acrylic. It's simply applied with Resin instead of Monomer, but your still using an acrylic powder. Which is great - I love acrylic. Good comment Sarah
Nail Career Education yes exactly it is acrylic powder just applied with resin ;) I love your videos thanks for the reply happy holidays 💙💙
Susie! I am impatiently waiting for your next video. I love your tutorials. I have started to do my own nails and have learned so much just from watching you work! Thank you for the education!
those colors are so pretty. Makes me wish it was spring!
I just love the starter kit it just have everything you need, you do not find a lot of full starter kits like this. And I love your videos I love watching you work. I also learned about kiarasky products by watching you, I loved her products from your first video of her products
Do you have a preference between the Kiara sky kit and the Joya Mia?
I love watching your videos but I'm not sure which one to buy.
Which one is better?
Kiara Sky is very pricy.
I like it because it acrylic does not bunch up under your nail like most salons do when they moving to fast on your nails. Great job
I have this system at home, and it takes my 5 minutes to get strong 'salon' nails. I am highly allergic to certain polymers in Gel or Shellac type polish. So this system is my life saver, as i am never allowed to do acrylics or anything similar. My nails are strong and long without the need of extensions. Important to always use acetone to remove, never to rip the overlay off - don't make my first time mistakes. It is expensive, but so worth it. It's one of those things that you only need to buy once and you never need to buy anything ever again. If i am bored or want to change it up, i use regular nail polish on top and remove with a non-acetone remover to keep my dipping system in place. Wish i got sent KS stuff >.< So lucky.
M.m. Belle hi ,im allergic to acrylic and gel so I wondered if this would work for me .from gel and acrylic my nals got red and swollen and really itchy,you had same reaction? Really glad to find your comment as my natural nails is so short and brakes easily,so i am looking for some alternative i can use on my nails as i saw they use this powders on tips as well.
Yes that sounds like me, i got a mixture of somthing called pompholyx and allergic dermatitis where the the fissues, swelling, cracks and itchyness comes later. Because i was stubborn i kept using shellac over and over and thus enforcing the allergy. As a result i now seem to have dermatitis permanently on the my pointer finger right hand and some on my thumb too. When they flare, i use a healing cream and cover them up with a strong bandaid and change every night. When its not flared its all good. I have used the system now about 4 to 5 times since i bought it in october and i have not 1 regret, i still have to master the system and take my time because of the impatient person i am, but i will get there and now i can at least enjoy strong nails that don't f*** up my hands. I like it how i can apply my normal nail polish on top to change colours regularly. Because let face it, im already stubborn and impatient, i may as well be fickle too! lol
That's what I am hoping to do. Use this as a base to keep my nails strong and then switch out the color with regular nail polish. Can you use this top coat/seal on regular nail polish?
1:15 I died !! She just tosses it on the floor 😂😂😂😂👍🏼👏🏽
Hi Suzie, Just wanted to say hi from a new subscriber. My 7 year old son and myself love watching your videos and he is now a big fan as well! We start every video with him shouting out "hello Suzie!" and he especially likes it when you do your "air dry" hand motions! Thanks again for all your clear and unbiased advice-it really does help!
This is the cutest! Made my day Lizzie💑
wow...my little lad is SUPER excited that you replied-thank you so much for making him feel special! Can't wait till Kiara Sky becomes available here in England, then we can try to put all your advice to good use! 😊
I have my Kiara Sky a-May-zing bundle starter kit! It’s surreal I never in 1 year lol thought I’d have this in my possession. Thanks to you Suzie I’m accessing material Is always dreamed of getting. I’m super happy and excited to use it. 🥰 much love to Kiara Sky too.
I have been having trouble doing my own dip powder nails. I’ve done French and the colors. I wish you had more videos of techniques on this system.
Suzie thank you so much for doing all these videos and sharing them with the public. I know you've helped me tremendously through the usual trial and error phase. Watching your videos saves me time, product and brainstrain as I try to figure things out! LOL Believe me, there's a lot of brainstrain too!! I just wanted to let you know that you are appreciated. You've taught me so much. I'd rather learn to do something on my own than pay a nail salon to do it. I'm off to glue on some tips and begin to dip! Have a great day and a fabulous weekend... and always remember to smile, it makes people wonder what you've been up to!! LOL ;)
You can definitely build an extension with this when using a tip if built right it’s just as durable as acrylic in my opinion
You make this look so easy and you are an AMAZING teacher! thank you! very detailed, great video. I want to try this. I can't wait.
where can I purchase this exact kit? The one retailing for $99 on their website only has limited colors: light pink, medium pink and dark pink. I prefer the vibrate colors you have besides if I'm spending $99 I should be able to choose my colors of choice.
Nikki Nicz hello. To save money, go on amazon and buy step 1,2,3,4 bottles (1-4 retailed $38 Canadian dollars on amazon.ca)!! And just buy your desired powders.
I love that you tried different things, like pouring the powder. I just had a beauty school do revel nail on me, and my first thought was wondering how it would react with pouring etc. Great vid!!
curious on how long this dip system lasts on the nail
Eve K it last as long as acrylic
Eve K I use this technique it's called resin and powder and it lasts up to 4 weeks
Eve K it last a while! You just need to get full ins just like acrylic.
Sara does it strengthen your nail a bit more?
ttttttttp2 it doesn't strengthen but it makes your nails hard when it is on
I love Kiara sky. The beautiful colors always give me tons of options for my nails depending on my mood.
Hi Suzie! Ilysm! Can u try nail stamping??
Karine Allaire oh sorry I do don't see them I'll go and check them out! Thank u😘❤️
id love to see her do some more design videos.
AntiqueUnicorn yup I would like her to test the original clear stamper
YES!!!!!
Lvly_vids_by _lyn lol looks like she mustve saw ur comment if u havent already check out her 3d stamping video
I love your channel suzie! Ive been a nail biter my whole life and youve inspired me to take care of my nails and stop!
What kind of efile do you recommend for someone using this system that is an a limited budget? Mostly used to help remove it. Also do you have a video on how you remove dip nail products? Any help would be appreciated. Tia.
I have had dip nails done they were so fun but I got this nice glittery black and it was so bold
It's kinda cool but seems like so much work lol
It's a lot of steps, but a nice easy system to use I guess. I absolutely love watching your UA-cams, you make it look easy xxx
Its really not I do mine at home and if I go slow and take my time its maybe a 40 minute process with washing and prepping.
My little poney mind craft ❤ 💙 💛 💜 👄 Lol
A lot simpler than acrylic or gel. You don't have to shape it :)
Els B hi there I was wondering how highly would you recommend this product. I was thinking of buying it. Help please
This dipping system reminds me of crystal nails. They taught us about them in beauty school. Also using the same products as a fiberglass/wrap application
I thought you had to have the clear on before the colour?
yes, it is advised for a couple of reasons - ( i got so excited I forget it on the last fingers ) you don't have to have it but it is recommended - I'll explain in French Dip Video
Nail Career Education omg thank you so much for replying 😱💗
Suzie's like a kid on Christmas unwrapping the presents and throwing out the container.
Hey Susie I have the exact same measuring spoons! xD
lol arent they cute
Nail Career Education same!
Photo Shimmer where can you buy them? I fell in love the moment I saw the dragonfly!
R Publicover I got mine at a theme park 6 years ago
you have so much patience. I have no patience at all and I could not even last through the first nail it seemed like it took up so much time. I barely have enough patience to just regularly paint my nails, let alone do a process with this many steps lol. love the colors though and as always I love the videos.
Suzie, watching you do all those steps with those containers of powder open and sitting there was giving me flashbacks to the time I dropped an open container of glitter on my bedroom floor.
Hahahaha-I bet every nail tech has experienced that at least once - it's like an initiation 😀
Hey Susie, I wanted to tell you that I dip powder my nails at home, however, I don't have a dip kit or any of the dipping products. I use clear, either top or base coat to my nails them dip in white acrylic powder. Buff lightly them do the same thing 3 or 4 times. Oh, I do apply tips. My first set lasted 4 weeks. I'm on my second set. I'm on my second set. I love this procedure over acrylic and gel. I am not a professional
I also wonder if it's just an acrylic powder. do you think you can do a test?
Kim B. It is a finely milled acrylic. I just use brush on nail glue an fine acrylic powder and a resin activator to cure. Ive been doing my nails this way for over a year. They don't lift and no smelly monomer.
Patty Mulcahy Jones I've been doing dipping powders myself on my natural nails but these products are so expensive I've been testing alternative powders. Wondering what some other options were. Which particular resin activator are you using?
Kim B. I do the same process for my nails but i use the the cheapest resin activator from Amazon (can't remember the name sorry) and nail glue with cheap acrylic powder and ir works fine, they do start to lift though
lovewolves123 thanks
Kim B. it is acrylic powder, but it is finer, so you could use a full coat of clear, regular color, regular color, clear and u get a nice finish too
I love the way you just throw things behind the desk, i can really relate to that
I love this I seen this before a lot of steps but I feel like this is much easier than doing the acrylic nails that I haven't master yet!!! 🤓🤓
your right - it is easier. I suppose that's why it was developed. It is very different though:)
Thanks so much love your channel!!
i wish more people were as nice and patient as suzie♡♡
Why didn't she use the natural nail powder after the 1st 2 nails?!
The Challengers Exactly! she must have forgotten...I was just getting ready to comment on that. After applying the 3/4 coat of liquid (#2) the natural was supposed to go on THEN you put the #2 liquid on all the way to the cuticle and dip in the color. She just kept skipping the natural powder step.
The Challengers I don't think it made that much of a difference
It really doesn't matter, they are all the same. Besides with the first two you kinda saw the natural powder peaking through. the other nails you won't see it so badly.
HeyfaValico jjjj no kkkk
Yeah, I thought the same thing but then I remembered that she didn't do it on her natural nails so I guess it really didn't matter to put it on a fake nail.
I use Serendipity from Walmart.
Put it over my natural nails for strength. I absolutely love it!! It's the best of both worlds!! I have my own long nails with the strength of acrylic!
I was thinking you could try alternating colors with each dip/pour, and also a holo topcoat.
Cynthia Price Cristine (simply nailogical) did something like that already
ChelleMentu I meant with this kit.
A holo taco
I really enjoy watching this lady, this is the first time I have ever commented
I just had this method done on my nails and they put tips on me. My nails look the same as if they were acrylic.😊😊
Hello suzie love your vidios watch them all the time, I went on the site for these color dips I think they are ott the top for all the work you have to do and there is only pink I think in the color kit , you can buy dipping powders now from different places now from Rio that are around 20 pound so to make it simpler Ii don't think that many people will buy it at the price .xx
Did u ever try using Acrylic Liquid & brush to see if a ball forms?
Usually these powders are acrylic powders but they lack the additives (activators and such) that work with monomer to build an actual acrylic nail
I have & its just acrylic btw so it works...its just very very fine. :)
i use dipping system in my salon. it is actually a very easy system. You can use tips with these systems also. Suzie is correct that very little filing is required. It is great for people wanting enhancements only for a special event.
Too messy for me. I'll stick to gel polish! love your videos! Merry Christmas!
Thank you Suzie, I’ve been on the fence about buying the dip nails, and now I’ll be buying it for Sure. 😊
nice nails Merry Christmas and happy New year to you and camera man
awwww thats so sweet thank you :)
Nail Career Education Hey Suzie is your natural nail strong?
Beautiful colors and it looks simple
Can u do the boyfriend/husband voiceover challenge for one of your nail tutorials
Mo
I have tried gel and acrylic and finally settled into the dipping powder which I use exclusively because the other two always broke. My nails have always been thin and brittle and the dipping powder method keeps them strong and they do not break. I just love it
+cdiana91221 nice 💜
