    Thank you for doing this! The activator before more dips is something I had no clue about! Also, keeping the brush in zone 2 and fanning out is so helpful. I’m OCD, so I liked your tips!

    SO helpful!!! If I wanted to build an apex with builder gel, how would I do that?
    Also, did you do something different to your hair color? It looks really nice!!

    • @CaroleAnnette
      @CaroleAnnette  3 роки тому

      Have you applied builder gel before?
      I have a video on my process: ua-cam.com/video/MrmnMofNhKM/v-deo.html
      But when I’m ready to cure the builder gel, I flip my hand upside down and let gravity do it’s work. I let it remain flipped for 15-30 seconds and the apex will naturally form. Then I quickly cure it.
      And yes! I got a haircut! Much needed one 😅

    What tips do you use, I have super short nails and work at a hospital, I like my nails to be more of an active length, and I like the clear tips that you used, I would love to use those until my nails actually grow by using the dip, I am a newbie, so I am enjoying your series!

    Do you use tips? Also do you have a video on putting on tips? I’m new to dipping so I am watching all your videos. I have acrylics on now and haven’t been able to get to my regular salon and a friend started dipping so I though I would try it out.

  • @ashleacarnley
    @ashleacarnley 3 роки тому

    Awesome video! If you have tips on with two layers of clear then peel base, at what step would you use clear to start building an apex? Would you build your apex with the two layers of clear before the peel base? Would the dip color come off okay doing it that way? Thank you!

    • @CaroleAnnette
      @CaroleAnnette  3 роки тому

      Have you seen my peel base video over dip?
      I would build the apex in clear, activate and shape.
      Apply peel base, and dip.

  • @briannalarsen3601
    @briannalarsen3601 3 роки тому

    What is your best tip to prevent cracking on the edges of the nail? I didnt buff much on my current and first set of dip. Does the buffing of the sides and tip ensure longer lasting edges without breaks?

    • @CaroleAnnette
      @CaroleAnnette  3 роки тому +2

      My tip(s) would be:
      - don’t make the sidewalls and free edge tooo thin. It’s tempting because it looks nice, but when stress is applied to those areas, they can crack.
      - read reviews. Some brands have less than stellar liquids and customers have reported issues with them cracking.
      - apply a coat of clear dip on top of your solids/glitters to add extra strength. Since it’s clear, it won’t look super bulky, but you get the added strength you need.
      - cap the free edge with dip powder (clear) and/or with your top coat liquid. It’s important the free edge is sealed in.

  • @desertcor2269

    Just a question- what makes you put tips on when using dip powder as you know makes your nails grow out ?

    • @CaroleAnnette
      @CaroleAnnette  3 роки тому

      I only use them when my nail is short / I want a certain length

  • @laurenlambert5018
    @laurenlambert5018 3 роки тому

    Do we need to do a builders gel or is this what you are putting on to make the apex?

  • @zen_ccg
    @zen_ccg 2 роки тому

    Oh no wonder my nails always pop off when I get nails done at a salon. There's no apex because I got flat as nails, so there's no strength keeping them down

  • @MsTwirlyGirly1
    @MsTwirlyGirly1 2 роки тому

    In the video, you said you'd be following steps 4-9 from the Revel chart. But you skipped over step 5 (the layer confined to the join of the tip to the natural nail) and instead repeated step 6. I wish you'd explained why you did that.
    Also, it would be very helpful if you'd create a playlist of all the Beginner's Series videos. When browsing all the videos using a smartphone, the words Beginner's Series are cut off from most of the video titles. So to identity all the videos in that series, one has to click on *every* video to load it as that's the only way to see if Beginner's Series is in the title.

    • @CaroleAnnette
      @CaroleAnnette  2 роки тому

      I’ll rewatch the video in a few to check and see what steps you’re referring to.
      As for the series playlist, I do have one created for it: ua-cam.com/play/PLTg4My-2GEtg8khNM7YlyEW4klwib7zn4.html
      Edit: I also have the playlist linked in the description of every video in the series, so anyone who wishes to see the rest of the videos can click on the playlist.

    • @CaroleAnnette
      @CaroleAnnette  2 роки тому

      Got it! I know why I skipped step 5.
      Step 4 is technically not a step. It tells you to identify the zones of the nails, and explains the meaning behind each zone.
      Technically, the video starts following immediately at step 6, which focuses on Apex building.
      Step 5 only exists to make the nail flush to the tip. Since this video isn’t about tips, including that step would be including unnecessary steps that don’t apply to everyone, as not everyone wears tips. The tip on my nail is already flush to the nail and it makes no sense for me to apply a thin line of dip (step 5) in the middle of my nail where the tip is. It would add unnecessary bulk.
