Omg finally I found someone else who is allergic to gel!! Thank you for all of your videos. I was brokenhearted when I discovered I was allergic to gel. I do dip as well. Thank you again!
Amazing because, true story, I just woke up this morning wondering why I couldn’t use dip base instead of gel base/polygel that I usually do and I found your vid. So cool! 🕶 Also just a tip for anyone interested: instead of manually etching the inside of my tips, I’ve always used primer to chemically etch. Faster for me and I haven’t lost a tip yet. 😅 Thx again so much for sharing this technique! 👍🏽🥰
This is a huge help. I didn't know that I could use dip base to secure full coverage tips. And etching the tips will definitely save my nails. Thx for the info.
Thank you!! This post was so timely - my fingers are currently healing from a terrible gel allergy. Had to trim my poor nails down to little nubs☹. New to the nail game and didn't know I could apply tips with my dip base. Gonna have to try this 'cause I'm dying for a little length and color!
This was super helpful. I was doing gel x nails for 6 months and all of a sudden my hands became itcy,blisters, skin peeling off,swollen, etc. I wasn't and still am not 100% sure if it was the UV lights bc I was changing them weekly (awful I know,but I loved changing it up) or the gel polishes themselves, but I was obviously allergic and kneels I couldn't do them that way. I still have tons of soft gel tips, I can use those to do this how you did right? I'd love to pick your brain haha. I have my first dip kit coming but applied my full tips with just nail glue. Next time I will try the base as my glue like you did. You've made my day with your video. Thanks!
Beautiful! I'm going to try this method. I also have a gel allergy, and it's been heartbreaking to adjust to not having my nails done regularly. I didn't even consider that gelly tips would cause problems too *DUH*. My nails are extremely flat, so a lot of the full-cover nails don't work for me but I'm going to check out the ones you suggested.
Thank you for showing these steps! I am currently using gel and it's such a pain to hold my nails under the lamp while trying to keep them straight and not get air bubbles. Never thought to use dip base. 🌸
Thank you for showing me how to do this. They are as pretty and natural looking. I'm a diyer also and have taught myself everything through trial and error. Thanks again, Georgie in Georgia
Brilliant video thank you. Iv'e gone through I don't know how many YT videos to find 1 with Acrylic dip powder. Iv'e just overnight developed the worse gel allergy ever. Itchy cuticles and fingers, inflamed and red cuticles, fingers peeling. So I'm going back to acrylic. Just a question do you use monomer at the end to harden the acrylic powder? If not what do you use? Thank you for sharing❤
I've been doing this for a while now, and I love it!! It works so well, and lasts almost as long-- sometimes LONGER than the gel does!!... For me anyways😁💯... Thanks for showing others that this full cover nail tip hack truly DOES WORK!!!💯🔥🔥🔥❤
For people who can't use gel, you can use a bead of wet acrylic (with monomer). I prime the nail with acrylic primer and put a bead of acrylic on the nail and press the nail on and it does not come off until you soak it off like you would any acrylic nail.
The other thing I forgot to mention is the acrylic also helps build up the underside if the nail has more of a curve to it and you have a flat nail so it fills in the apex area.
Thank you for this! I've just recently developed a gel allergy I think(it's only a couple fingers) and to be honest I'm devastated. Builder gel had completely changed my nail game and now sadly changed it again for the worst. Just ordered some full cover tips so fingers crossed!
I feel your pain. I was a lover of builder gel and gel. And for a good few years it’s all I used. I was really starting to branch out with length and designs (and even colors) shortly before the pandemic started. Unfortunately, around Memorial Day 2021, I became allergic to my gel products. I was CRUSHED. Because doing my nails was what I did for “me time” when my kids went to bed. I was always so careful with my application and what products I used and stuff, so I still do not know how I became allergic. It was hard for me to wrap my head around for a few months. Thankfully I already had some dip products so I was able to switch over immediately and was relieved that I can use dip. But I also can’t use any gelly tips either, which sucks because some of tips I had apparently have gel in them and I didn’t know until I found out the hard way recently. I will admit I’m still bummed some times that I can’t use gel because I can’t use chrome powders or do certain nail designs. But thankfully I found Jewlz channel shortly after becoming allergic and have been able to do fun nails again. It’s not exactly the same but it fills the voids. 😬
So you found that with the gel tips, you get a reaction to them as well?! I just developed my allergy to gel nail products 😢, and purchased all the things I need to start dip manis. I plan to use tips, I guess until I don’t need to if my nail grows out better. :) I saw some tuts that show using glue (or what you did) on gel nail tips. Have you done that? Anyway, back to the gel tips, really?? That seems so crazy to me but, I believe it.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm sooo tired of this allergic reactions 😢 Trying different "hema free products" and nothing works. I start with the allergic reaction on August 2023 and since then my nails are awful and I wonder if all this allergic chain reaction in so many ladies, is because this companies are competing to have the best product and keep adding more crab and that's why lately to many have been suffering. I even try the dip powder products and have a reaction as well, so your video make me realize that maybe the tips that I'm using are also not good for me, it says acrylic tips not gel and they're from Modelones, I'm gonna try with the plastic ones and dip powder again and hopefully it's gonna be ok for me, thanks again!!
I also developed allergy and tried Hema free but didn’t work. Tried many brand, the only brand that ive tried that doesn’t give me a reaction is PRIMA from ikoniq nails. It’s not only hema free but even many more ingredients that is to fix and high chance. Had the gel on for almost a week now and nothing. You should check it out but it didn’t work so good with extension with tips tho, not so strong to hold it
Hey Julie! Love this video, so thank you for it 😉. Would you be able to do a video showing how you do your fill with these full tips and dip powder please? I’m thinking of using full tips that I have but not sure how exactly how to do the fill. Thanks love 😘
I found out the hard way a couple weeks ago, that I am also allergic to gel tips. I hadn’t touch tips for months after getting my allergy (back in May-June of ‘21) but recently I wanted to see if it would cut down the amount of time I spend building and filing my dip nails. Well, all the tips I own apparently have gel ingredients because within a day my fingers were so itchy and getting little blisters. I ordered another pack of tips on Amazon and even though they said plastic I’m convinced they’re wrong because they caused a reaction as well. So I’m grateful you posted this video because I need to find tips that won’t cause a reaction. I currently apply my tips with acrylic (because nail glue lasts maybe 4 days on me). But I’m starting to worry maybe the monomer is causing an allergy too because last time I did my nails they felt itchy. But I have to unfortunately test that theory to know for sure. So in the meantime while I give my nails a break, I’m going to try the dip base method and see how it lasts. Hopefully it lasts longer than nail glue.
I’m extremely allergic to all kinds of gel products. I made sure that these do not contain gel and I’ve been using them almost a year now with no issues
@@dipnailsbyjewlz Thank you SO much. I’m going to place an order for these tips. I typically do an almond shape, but I’m totally willing to shape them myself if I have to, if it means no reaction! 🤞🏻🙌 You are THE best.
Couple of Questions: 1. I can use the dip base with the gel-x tips? And since I'm not using the nail glue, I won't have a reaction? 2. There is no need to cure these tips on with a UV light? 3. Could I still try the gel polish on these? Or are you only using a specific dip for colors?
Great video! I ended up ordering nail cutter and tips! Curious how do you soak off full tips? I’ve soaked off partial tips just wondering if there’s a difference when soaking off a full tip? Thanks :)
Can you help with the following situation? It's so frustrating! So... the tips that fit my nail side wall to side wall and at the cuticle do not fit well from bottom to top (if I want them to stay near the nail at the cuticle, there's a gap at the free edge...). So you can imagine that there is a thick layer of glue between my natural nail and the tip (not awfully thick but definitely not as elegant as what I see in your video...). I can't file it off because my nail is short, and if I file right in between, I will have a gap between the natural nail and the tip. I see that the tip of your nail touches the gel tip. Any advice on how to make that gap between the tip of my natural nail and the gel tip less bothersome?
So I have a question. I use gelly tips (I do not have a gel allergy) but the process & all the steps of putting them on is kind of a pain. Problem is I have a lot of gelly tips. Do you think I could apply them with dip base or do I just need to continue with the gel until I use them up? I don't know if they'd last since they are gel tips with the dip base.
I don’t have a gel allergy but for some damn reason I suck ass at using builder gel when it comes to applying jelly tips it’s always very messy. Using dip base I do extremely well no mess and it’s a way faster soak off for me! So sorry about your gel allergy!
Im glad I found your video. I have gel allergy too from doing diy for past year and I want to try dip powder next since that worked when I last went to my nail salon. Im gonna try this too. Question- do you think you can use gel on top of this overlay making sure not to touch skin? I wonder if the layer of protection with tips and thin dip powder will allow me to use the gel polish I have. Please post more videos like this pretty please. Thank you!!!
@@dipnailsbyjewlz i wonder if it is the gel im allergic to if it helps to have the acrylic tip/powder underneath and if ill be careful not to touch surrounding skin. Im so sad i can no longer use my gel polish collection:-(
Thanks for the video I didn't know that you were able to just put glue on the tip!!! Will you tell me what you used to glue the tip to the nail?? I have a terrible time try to get the nail under the lamp to set the nail!!! Thanks again for the help.
So haven’t gotten through the whole video yet . Or looked to much into the brand . But the dip process usually has all the same stuff . Why is this the method of choice here . Is this a specific allergy you have e or? Okay so when I had one of my first over exposure allergic reaction. I was almost done with the reaction I guess you would say. And I just practice with some dip, and another occasion I just practice with acrylic. And not on myself either on practice hand. And I was having problems with breathing in the powers and having a reaction. Now it could be because I wasn’t done with a full reaction. Or maybe it’s because my allergy had something to do with the hema issue that’s in all of those products . ( I was full masked venting, fans , window opened , gloves.) but it was definitely another type of reaction. Felt like the asthma I had when I was younger. And I know this can happen. But like I said it could have been cause I was already having a current reaction or it’s just that. Idk just anyone’s experience with any and all products I need some help. I’ve moved on to a press on business for now. And as long as I’m careful about it I’m good. But I’d really love to continue to work on others and myself . I know I should get an allergy test done. But it’s not as easy with where I live I’d have to travel really far. Soo. Please help.
I thought it was in my head, but the Sally cuticle stuff legit tears my poor cuticles up :( I can't use it at all. I've resorted to using cuticle oil and gently pushing back the skin.
You look as though you have contact dermatitis from the products getting on your skin. I noticed you wiping the glue and the dip powder away with your bare fingers, then you go in with the product and get it all over your skin. That is what is causing the allergies.. You can use a tool to remove excess powder or liquid, and use gloves and remove the fingers from just above your nail. Having nice nails brings peoples attention to them, so you want your skin to look nice too.
Omg finally I found someone else who is allergic to gel!! Thank you for all of your videos. I was brokenhearted when I discovered I was allergic to gel. I do dip as well. Thank you again!
Same here! I was so excited to come across this video!
Me as well it's awefully painful. Pity Iv'e spent soo much money on gel products. I can't even use the gel tips
After my second pregnancy also got allergic to gel

How do you remove the tip?
Thank you for sharing this. I've been waiting for this video lol You're tips always look great!! 💗💗
You’re a genius. Can I ask how long they last using the dip powder base?
Thanks for the info! Floral scents give me headaches too, except for lavender LOL

What gel/ glue are you using to adhere the nail?
This is what I needed to do. Thank You for leaving the product information.

Hi . Thanks so much for your all video. My too i have gel allergies . I want to ask how removal the tips ? with which way ?

Hi! Are you allergic to the gel tips or the gel that is normally used with gelly tips?
This is what I’m wondering cause I’ve also seen gel tips are just marketing names.
So I have a question. I use gelly tips (I do not have a gel allergy) but the process & all the steps of putting them on is kind of a pain. Problem is I have a lot of gelly tips. Do you think I could apply them with dip base or do I just need to continue with the gel until I use them up? I don't know if they'd last since they are gel tips with the dip base.
Can you do that with a peel base?
