I went 5 months without anything on my nails, I was using beauty guard which was garbage. I went back to doing my nails and in two weeks they grew more than in the 5 months I was using that product. I’m so glad I’m back to dipping lol
Marla - I need your help. I should already know the answer to these questions but I wouldn't be asking if I did lol. When using a gel top coat after using dip liquid process...I know you don't use the activator for the 2nd time after filing and buffing. But after filing and buffing the nail is then smooth and what not. So how does the gel top coat stick and not peel off? Really I'm just curious bc I thought gel had to have a rough surface to adhere to. Second, if I did not use a gel top coat in this process of your video and I did a dip liquid top coat ...what would that process be after applying these nail stickers? Step 1, then dip into clear dip powder and activate from there?
Totally valid questions!! Remember, I don’t go for longevity. My manis only last a day. So I don’t feel the need to prep for gel top BUT if I did, I’d for sure use a gel base coat first to prevent the top from peeling. So if you wanted to use dip liquids, you can activate right over the stickers and then go in with your dip top. OR, you can apply dip base and encapsulate in clear first. Whatever mood you’re in!
@@MarlaKris thank you thank you thank you!!! That all makes total sense once reading it 👍☺️ You are literally my go to girl for all things nails. So thank you from the bottom to the top of my heart ❤️
You talk too much? I don't freaking think so. I completely disagree. This mani looks great! I have some of those bamboo lids for my jars, I love them. 😊
Great job Marla! You still know how to dip as great as always haha! Wondering if you’ve ever tried the willow nail soak off bowl from Amazon since you mentioned that you use heat to speed up the removal process and keep your nails in acetone as little as possible. Just curious!
Your natural nails are beautiful. I have been growing out my natural nails with you and I swear my nail beds are now longer than they were a month and a half ago. Thanks Marla.
Love it! I would be kicking myself in the butt for using peel base, LOL! I also love your chatty, realtime videos 😊 Suggestion: I find that the pointed end of a glass cuticle pusher is perfect for cleaning up around my cuticles.
Hi. I honestly just started dipping my own using Kiara polish sets and Opi dipping, using clear but of course it was a little messy and cuticles don’t look as good as yours, I’ll say a little bulky from outer parts. Now how soon can I removed and do all over again? Definitely need to try your method and see your removal video . Ty in advance
Been missing you back in hospital hubby broke hip gave me Covid for early bd gift sigh great to see ur videos again ❤ happy new yr!! Wished I was home doing my nails😢
@MarlaKris there were several. On another of your videos too. I was disappointed cuz I really wanted the product....lol. I will have to go back and find it dear and send it.
I honestly don't know how you are able to come up with fresh ideas twice a week, but you nailed it once again! Love this simple yet elegant mani!! It's definitely a keeper!! 🖤🤍🖤
Ughhhh I hate filing too and don't get me started on shaping. I have so much trouble with shaping that I have gone to full cover nails when I do mine. I love your videos and recommend them to everyone starting dip.
Once again not disappointed. Love these nails love the color of your sweater 😊. Thanks marla for inspiring me to do my nails all the time. Always have something new to do because of you ❤
I use peel off base coat for easy removal. Because i wear polish so often, my nails are more porous and even with UNT peel off base coat, my mani can last a week before I pop them off myself.
Temu is a great place for supplies too.

If those stickers come in red it would be an easy way to do a candy stripe design for the holidays!!

I thought about it!! But I’m nervous I’d ruin the glass with the acrylic 🙈
Your nails are beautiful naked! They are fab with the plaid!
