Brilliant! Putting clear as the apex builder OVER the glitter is genius! I’ve watched easily a hundred videos by a few favorite TH-cam DIY dipper divas and never once have heard this suggested. Thank YOU for this knowledge! I can’t begin to tell you my disdain for glitter only because of the “pain” they cause me to work with them. This will make is much more tolerable. As a relatively new subscriber, I’m just thrilled with your videos and you always reply to my questions as well. Thank you so much!
First time watcher, I love how you didn’t work on the apex with the glitter nails until you were done with the glitter, then you used clear. That’s smart. I don’t have a apex naturally to speak of, I have very flat nail beds then the tip of the nails grow up on many of them. So I use tips. How would I begin that apex building? The same way? I’m so glad that you used a very chunky dip as well. Not many would tackle those. Great video! Thanks!
Love it! Thanks for all the great tips! I’m going to try your apex method next set I do to see how it works for me. I like how you did your glitter apex! And also thanks for the filing advice! I’m eager to get my cuticle line looking so crisp like yours 😉😉
Beautiful mani like always! Thank you for showing this especially the filing. I like my nails kind of coffin and i always end up having one side angled in too much and not aligning with my nail bed. I wasn't lining my file from my cuticle as you just showed, so thank you for this and i know this will def make a difference in my mani! Also I have flat nails so I try to build the apex with my BG first and now I can make it even better with the dip and filing like you do😍
You already have a really nice curvature to your nails and some kind of overlay or enhancement underneath the dip powder. Pretty much every TH-camr I've seen does. I have the flattest natural nail beds ever with no type of curve to them whatsoever. How do I achieve an apex with the type of nails that I have?
you always do the prettiest nails!!! from the colors that you use to the perfect shaping!! I have learned so much from watching your videos.
So very PRETTY ‼️👍🏽

Oh I'm so glad! I always try to make my dipping life easier 😅
Using clear over glitters to build an apex is just genius. I'm definitely going to try this.

Great video! Thanks!
Can you make a video on how to keep from building up to much dip by the cuticle?
Super helpful tutorial! Thanks 🥰

@@MelissasManis, awesome. Thank you!!
Should I build an apex if I am using full coverage tips?
@@Mspuddin67 yes, how much of one will depend on how long they are but a full coverage tip usually doesn't add much structure or strength.
@@MelissasManis Good to know. Thank you.
How do you remove when you have such a chunky glitter
I have peel base on so it pops right off. If I didn't I would soak it off just the same way I do any other dip powder
@@MelissasManis you put the peel base on your bare nail correct?
How do you personally make the naked nail smooth for the peel to adhere? TIA
