So glad u showed the patch job! I’ve had this problem while filing my sides
Thank you for this video! You shape and contour your nails so well. They're beautiful! I never did the step debulking around the cuticle & sides! I love this tip!
Just when I thought you couldn’t make an even more helpful video...you did! Gosh I think I’m getting much better but I learned more from this and you actually addressed an issue I have when using a particular brand (the hump/ridge at the nail tip). You are a wealth of knowledge and again I am grateful to have found your channel! 💜💜💜
I have watched a ton of videos trying to learn how to do dip glitter. This is the best video. My nails look great AND feel smooth AND didn’t take for ever!
Thank you 🙏🏽 Thank You 🙏🏽 for all the great info in this video!! It’s nice to have videos dedicated to one specific type of issue.
Gurrrrll. You saved my cracked dipped nails with the very simple tip of stirring my powder. That did the trick. I had to subscribe. Thanks!
I learned more from this vid about what I'm doing right and figuring out what I've done wrong. Welcome to my life!
Super cute mani and a ton of helpful info!! 😄👍 You rock Marla! 😘
Thank you so much. I am new to dipping nails and my first attempt came out OK but with your tips I will improve.
I really le the color combo. This video was so informative, always learn something new from your videos😉👍
Great info. I do get the ledge occasionally too. Mani looks pretty!
The ledge! I feel like I get it on at least 2 of my nails every time. I know now what I was doing wrong 🤦🏼♀️ You teach me something every time! Thank you 🙏
I actually loved the colors! Thanks for the video!
Just ordered ‘stuff’ to do my own nails at home so excited I can’t wait.
Great video
Ur gonna save so much money . U will get better w time I learned watching UA-cam videos . Good luck
Me too, is too expensive going to the salon I love it but my pocket is feeling it 😔
These are quite lovely for a neutral themed mani. I can't do anything to 'loud' in my profession and wear a suit and tie. This is fun and feminine, if a little understated. Bravo!
Coffee & Mani's, perfect start to the day.
That's what I'm doing too 😂 I feel so seen
I actually love these colors! Thanks again for the amazing advice!
You are so welcome! 🫶❤️
I know I’ve said it before, but it warrants repeating; you have the most beautiful hands and nails. 😘
Aloha 🌺
Love this mani and the colors!
Hi Marla. I'm very new to dip powder and a new subscriber. I simply love your videos. They are helping me have the confidence to try it. Thank you so much!
Welcome to the family, love!! The pleasure is all mine! 💕
This was a very helpful video...thanks so much for this Marla we all struggle with one thing or another...lol...tysmfs...love ya chica💖💖💖
Brilliant by the way with the peel coat polish idea👍
Thank you that was great and beautiful, love the colors
I am a member on your fb group 🙌🤣, love your videos, very helpful.💜
I love this manicure u make it look easy x
Hi Marla Thanks for another helpful video. I was looking for the color you did on your middle finger. It is definitely not the opal dreams but it looks different from the latte-da on your other three fingers. It's very pretty. I'm a school teacher and I'm looking for subtle sparkle that's also neutral. Thank you!
Thanks for all the tips. Luckily I haven't had lifting or breakage issues. I have plenty of others though! Lol
I actually liked how your mani turned out, even the subtle colours.
your nails is soo perfect!!! ❤
Great video! Thank you for doing this!
Thank you this is really good! You answered many questions I had
You’re so welcome, darlin! ❤️
Love this mani! I always hear people say put clear dip before peel, but a lot of professionals always say not clear, but natural dip cuz it’s made for the natural nail and it has a lot more vitamins..
Need this video! Thank you. My biggest problem is filing. I just suck at it. I also can't ombre no matter how many times I've tried 😂
Katherine Pietras I have a new ombré video coming VERY soon and I think it’ll help ya 😉
Just what I needed as a beginner 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for another great video. Thank you Much 💜
I love this color combo OMG
Thank you this video learning new things always from you Marla 💅👏💯
Another great video!! I just stink at filing so this was very helpful! Also in the beginning when you said Moi - from that point I was only hearing miss piggy’s voice and it was cracking me up! I’m weird I know 🤪🤣
Kerry Dreyer 😂😂😂😂
Thank you this has helped me so much!
Thank you for this helpful video ♥️
Lots of great info! Thank you so much Marla!! 🥰
Love watching your videos tyfs ❤️💗
they look great! thank you!
Beautiful nails. I just grow my nails with regular nail polish. Brucci Polish was my go to now Sally Hassan. People I know use powder because manicures with it last longer. No chipping. As long as my nails don’t break, chipping I expect.
One issue I had this week when I did my first dip nails was I washed my hands just a little too soon after the top coat and my top coat on one nail turned whiteish and creased. I also had one that did that but just in one tiny spot. So I had to file all that off and try again.
Glitters stress me out! Since I do my nails to relax I never use glitters. Might have to try now!!
Great idea!! Thanks for this!! I need it haha!
Because of e-file “pretty color” envy and never having the guts to just order a random file from Amazon, I came on here to see what you use. Thanks to the iGel 60% off sale, I now have my first e-file on its way (not counting the crappy one I bought from F&M back in the early 90’s!) and too many colors of dip powder! Thank you for the great tips and videos. Natural nails only for me. Guess I’m still too scared of damaging my nails like in the salon in years past.
Thank you for mentioning this!
It’s definitely worth investing in a good e-file. Saves time too
I am just begining my dip manicure journey, I usually do my own gel nails. This was a very helpful video with great tips on problems that i have been having. I do have 2 questions tho 1)Can you mention in a video the issue people have with brushs hardening with both the base gel and the finishing top coat. 2) Which clear did you use and does it matter which one we use, as long as it is a clear? Thanks so much!
1 make sure the activator is 100% dry before top coating or your brush will harden! I wait about 2 minutes. Not sure about the base tho, I think maybe it just got exposed to the air too long. I use by genesis brand in the salon❤️ Hope this helps❤️
I've been lucky, I have not had any lifting or cracking but I am not a fan of Peel base. I always lose one peely within a day of application so I will glue it back on continuously until I decide to remove the mani. Then I have a hard time removing the other peelys and end of using the soak off method anyways LOL so i quit using my peely base.
Hi! I’ve watched a few of your videos and I love them! At the end of this you used the light, is that needed for Peppigel or revel? Thank you!
Raquel Noll thank you so much! No ma’am I just use the light bc I use a gel top coat over my dip nails. Not necessary for dip top coats
Thank you...i have used acrylic and other types of nail kits and the bumps I'm getting using the dip is driving me crazy!!!!
Ofcourse I attach tips and it's causing issues
Omg, I overfiled my dip earlier this week and fixed it just like you showed. I thought I was being lazy by doing that...lol!
...Sooo, I can actually use a "gel" topcoat with Uv light over the Dip powder?? So excited, if this is so! I hate the dullness in the dip powder top coat! Thanks! These are by far the best video for DIY dip powder manis! You rock
One. Hundred. Percent. I can't handle a part matte, part gloss top coat that I usually get with my no-light top coats. Maybe I haven't bought the right one, but I have all kinds of UV/LED top coats! 🎉
Great video! You could have titled it, " Priscilla sis, let's solve some of your issues!" Haha! I file off product all the time trying to get it smoothed out...so at least I can redo that. STILL have some lifting too...ugh...its a trial and error process. Thanks so much for this video!!! Have a great day!
Priscilla Kinkade 😂😂 it’s that sister telepathy! 🥰
Thank you. Very helpful
Thank you for your video. So many awesome tips. I would like yo ask if you or anyone here ever had the problem of white spots in some colors? I've done many colors, and always with the same steps, techniques and products, but there are some colors lime gray or wine red that get white spots no matter what I do. And also the clear color. Do you know why? Thank you
I love your brush 🤩
Great tips thanks!! Can you please do a review of SNS nails? Trust your judgment on products🙂🙃🌸
Anney Kotzee it’s coming!!
Opal Dreams!!! 😍. I think I just ordered that along with several other secret menu colors. Goodbye No Buy July! 🤣
Secret menu is my best friend
What does secret menu mean?? Can a non subscriber buy it?
Was that clear acrylic or was it a clear dip powder? Love your videos!!!!
Thanks for this great video. I tried it the first time a couple days ago. A mess. I‘m gonna do it again on the weekend but I wanted to wait a bit because I screwed up my skin badly while filing. 😣
The first time I tried - I used nail polish base coat 😳 yours can’t be nearly as bad!
Loved this video because I keep experiencing lifting on my hands but not on other friends hands. Lol
I had a thought. Could you try to do a nail extension with the clear polygel and not a tip? I know you repaired your nail with the polygel but I'd like to see it as a nail extension. I wanna try it out. But I'm not sure if you have to put the polygel on my whole nail or can just put it on like you would a tip and extend it?
Idk just a thought
Shannon Carter stay tuned!! There’s another polygel vid coming mid month! And it’s a complete overlay and extension with paper forms.
You can do either! Just as an extension or as a whole nail overlay.
Wow that E-file looks like a LIFE CHANGER! ...I've been using a regular 'ol fashioned file to do all that work! 🤯
I've been wondering if using cuticle oil contributes to the dip nail lifting??
Thanks for the video!
If the product is adhered, oil shouldn’t cause lifting. Unless it’s coming from under/inside your nail (your natural body oil)
How do I avoid lumps/bumps when applying dip? I just recently started wiping one side of the dip base brush off on the inside of the bottle and keeping the other side "full" of liquid to use on my nail. Whether I dip, lay my powder in the powder, or pour over, it seems I always have lumps and bumps more toward my cuticle (even though i start the brush in the middle of the nail, drag it down toward the free edge, and fan it back up toward the cuticle) and its not flat and smooth
Hi, iv come across your videos and love the fact you dip. Have you tried nsi simplicity dip system, I use it and I find it's great because it goes into a lamp, and you can do all your hand at the same time, instead of one at a time, and it is so easy to buff to get it smooth. You can get it online. X
I will check it out! Thank you! 💕
Am new to dip powder and your videos have helped me a ton! What is your favorite gel top coat? I don’t see it mentioned in that products used. Thank you!
I have a couple current faves: dipalicious, sparkle and co, and nail addict
beautiful set
Can I ask you what did you use after the vitamin base ?before you started applying colour?
My step 1 base coat is thick and stringy....anything I can do about that or do I need to throw it out?
I’m new here, stumbled onto you video, love the amount of great tips you have given me, gonna give dipping a try...see you in the next video
This was a great tutorial....even for those of us who have been doing this for a while. Damned if I don't over file...nice to see you do too!! lol. So when is your next live???? Anxiously awaiting!!!! xoxo Gabrielle
gablofaso not this weekend but the following! 8/16 I believe. A Sunday brunch style live!
I've never had cracking...never any lifting. And peel base...dont get me started..
😝😝
Marla, I love your basic video. I do have a question, though the applications that I have I have a one and three together and a two by itself so I have a topcoat and a basecoat together in one bottle and an activator number two in the separate bottle my question is I have a bottleof dip bond and I wondered is this the same as basecoat? It’s liquid dip bond is what it’s called because if it is the basecoat, then I can just eliminate putting the one and three together. Thank you, Liz.
Hey Liz! It’s impossible for me to say for certain because some companies refer to dip base as “bond” while others use that same term for a prep liquid (dehydrator). If it’s the same consistency as activator, it’s likely for prep. If it has the consistency or dip base, it’s probably that.
Love the ring color. What’s on the middle finger please? Doesn’t say in notes. Thx. Love your channel.
Beautiful!
Can you do a little clip in one of your upcoming videos that shows us your filming setup? I'm still struggling to get the right angle when filming my nails. I have different tripods, lighting, and filming camera + my phone. I've tried it all and I'm still struggling with the filming angles! Thanks Marla ♥
About That Mama Life I sure can! I’m prefilmed so wouldn’t e up for a few weeks but DM me and I’ll se ya some pics!
Hi
Please can you let me know what is the second bottle? After the one like bond. Thanks a lot
Hi Marla, why do I get a cloudy, spotty top layer after I clear incapsulate? You can really tell on solid colors. I use Mia secret clear acrylic.
What about when you buff the nail before top coat and you see little tiny like holes is all I can explain it as and its like the dust is settling in those holes? Would a clear coat over the color coat help with that? Or is there a different reason its happening
Does using a peel off base coat affect the longevity of the mani? Or does it simply just make it easier to remove?
My nails can look grainy mainly around the cuticle area which I think you solve that question for me. Probably more of lifting that’s giving that look. But sometimes I get that grainy look in the center of my nail. Any suggestions?
Maybe I missed it, but is chipping on the free edge the same as lifting? My free edge chips a lot lately 😢
I have an issue when I dip with lighter colors like pinks and light beige. When I apply activator I end up with what looks like patches or almost bubble like. Some areas are lighter than others and even after 2 coats of activator and 2 coats of clear they're noticeable. Is there a way to fix that or could it just be the dip I use?
Marla, what is the best dip to use to do an ombré?
Do you have a video on how to remove the dip to change colors? I’m so new to dipping.
Talk to me about the peel off base. How does it work when you want to remove your nail?
Can I just say how jealous I am of your GORGEOUS nail beds! They're so long and narrow! Mine are short, stubby and bell-shaped. I need to get back into doing my nails so they'll at least look somewhat nicer lol.
Hi 👋 first time here. Subscribed bc love ❤️ your work. Can I ask why does gel polish peel on clear powder ? Thanks 😊
Hey love! Welcome to the family!
Yep - so gel does need something to adhere to. Sometimes dip powder nails can be too smooth. I’d recommend using a gel primer before you go in with gel Polish. That should help prevent peeling! 💕
@@MarlaKris thank you my love 😍
Great tips, thanks! What color is on your dominant hand?
My right hand is “Cassiopeia” by MVP nail designs!
Very helpful video
Thank you for the tutorial 🍑🌹🌸⭐️⭐️❤️
Amazing video quality for iPhone. 👍🥰
I typically use the natural dip color from Kiara Sky and my finished nails looks grainy. They feel smooth and I don't have bumps, but they look bubbly/grainy. What am I doing wrong?
Love them💕💕
What’s another recommendation you have for a dehydrator? I’m overseas and Amazon won’t ship any of that particular brand to my location.
Rubie Lopez you can mix together 50/50 alcohol and pure acetone. Boom - dehydrator!
Hi love your videos, very informative. I do have a question. I keep messing up my bond brushes. I’ve bought 3 different sets and on first applications of each, my brush gunks up and can no longer be used...😣😣😣 can you offer any advise, I feel like I follow your proses but my brushed always get me stuck.... Help please!
Exactly, me too! I am following each step and didnt have any issues with my Beetles dip set but today I just received a new double dip liquidsset and they gunked up and hardened on the first hand! Who wants to have to use new brushes every mani too? Looks like Double Dip is not for me. 🤔
Buy brush saver to clean the brush
Thanks for this video. My issue is the top coat dries and it peels. I've done step by step and can't figure out why. Also when I file it looks terrible. Even if I cap in clear and buff it looks faded with spots...HELP ME
I have the same problem with spots after filing! NEVER looks smooth or shiny and dark colors look faded/cloudy. If you find help with that problem, can you please let me know what helped?
I bought a lot of different brands but haven’t tried them yet. But I’m confused since some came in jars small enough to do only one nail, is that the wrong kind
Thank you.
What was the peel off base you used?
