thank you!

thank you so much 😊

I am so happy to hear this video was helpful! I find builder to be less damaging mainly because I do not have to remove it every time I do my nails. I just clip any lifting and fill in the regrowth. With any nail enhancement, proper removal process is key in not damaging the nail. Thank you so much! Have fun on your nail journey!!

I’m so happy it was helpful for you!

I would suggest filing the edge of the tip some along the seam near the natural nail. Try not to file your natural nail here. Then apply a strip of BG on the natural nail, along the seam between the natural nail and your tip and cure. This will help level that space before trying to do full layers of BG to finish the nail. Let me know if that helps!

Omg same

If yours says UV/LED….then I would go with the LED time. The ‘UV’ time is for the older lamps that use the long uv bulbs (rarely in use anymore). Just keep in mind that lamps do vary. Some are weaker than others from age or use so you may have to add to the time. Up to 60 seconds on regular power. Also always follow the instructions on the particular gel you use. Those can vary between brands too.

Can you clarify what you mean by a wipe formula BG? I think as long as it’s a builder gel….it should work with the forms.

You should not have to use a base gel over the buffed and cleaned BG to do gel method with dip. The BG acts as your ‘base coat’ here. And gel sticks to gel no problem.

Since I nail swatch and have to change my dip often for photos and videos, I have peel base applied to my nails prior to starting this dip. ❤️

I’m so glad this was helpful! ❤️❤️ thank you!!

Thank you for watching!

This is a pumice stone and can be cleaned with soap and water. It can be cleaned, but not officially disinfected. Hope that helps.

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much. I hope your recovery is going well. I am so happy this worked well for you. ❤️

Good luck ❤️

Hi Beverly! Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks so much for your order. You should be able to go straight into polish after applying builder gel without the top coat :)

Hi! Unfortunately this particular builder gel is not for gelX style nails, but I do have a 3in1 Base Glue Gel that is PERFECT for that. dipaliciousnails.com/products/3in1-base-gel-glue

Hi! I carry these files in store. They have a different color/shape now (pink/diamond), but still the same with the hard file on one side rand a sponge buffer on the other. Here’s the link to them :) dipaliciousnails.com/products/dual-sided-nail-file-soft-buffer-medium-grit-180-100

Thank you! The mylar is from the Glassware Collection on the website. They are pretty new to the shop. Here’s a link to them :) dipaliciousnails.com/products/mylar-glassware

@@DipaliciousNails thank you! I just checked them out and they are gorgeous! Wow!

I thought the same thing in some parts lol especially when she said “don’t worry if the edges are all crazy”… sounded just like her there! 😂

I was about to comment this

Her video is amazing, ive learnt so much from it. Ive watched it several times , its so helpful, she answers questions you didnt know you had. Her voice is lovely, However , i find it a little bit irritating when she says 'edge' . I cant explain why it just gets to me.

I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you so much!

Glad it helped! Thank you!

Try dipping with gel.. paint gel on , dip cure, repeat. Make sure you are buffing the shine off of the tips you apply.. if you don’t the acrylic has nothing to actually stick to

I'm so glad it was helpful! The number of manis you get out of 1 bottle can vary depending how long and/or how thick you like to make your nails, but I'd say on average like ~20ish.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! It's really pretty on. So clean.

I was thinking the same thing now wishing I would have got that light pink instead of the clear

Thank you! Hope it helps!

Hi! I usually do 2 coats of top coat. Sometimes, but rarely, I need a thin extra 3rd coat to absorb the excess activator.

Thank you so much!

A quick swipe with 100% acetone usually gets those matte spots out. :)

Sorry, it's taken so long for me to reply! I am still getting used to using TH-cam. I think glitters would be better to sprinkle on.

Andrea Severin I used activator before filing. You need to use activator either before or after you apply that last layer of base or it will stay wet. The activator is what makes the base dry.

helfTASTIC I think you’ll love the new Top Coat Only coming! Hope you love your opals! Thank you!!

CeCe Compton I use my brand of liquids (Dipalicious Nails). It’s a 2 bottle system - base/top coat in one and activator.

Brandi Turney you need something to protect the ombré otherwise you will buff off the color. You can do it with a layer of clear dip or you can do like I did in the video and use extra layers of base to encapsulate and protect instead :).

I wondered the same just now lol I would just go right to using the clear powder and then buff it.

Gaby Jean thank you! That is on the list!

Kheegan Williams thank you!

Carole Annette thank you!!

Carole Annette You only need one 🏀!
