I love love love how much detail you went into on capping the free edge. This is the video I’ve been needing to see despite doing my nails for my whole life (gel/dip the past few years). Thank you for being so thorough. Sub’d.
Thank you, thank you for breaking it down for me. My dipped nails usually start falling off one by on day 2 or 3. I am going to do my nails this way for now on, so many hidden gems in this video, thanks again!
Thank you so much for this thorough demonstration. I felt like I was sitting at the table with my cousin learning the tricks of the trade. I subscribed for more kitchen table demos. 😊
I buff before applying Activator too. The surface is softer and easier/faster to shape. It takes me so long to do my dip manicure that I’ll take any shortcut! 😄 It ends up being a little gentler to the skin around the nails overall too.
If I try this chunks will come off lol I just use the glue and the dip.. wait till I feel they are dry and buff. No activator . It’s the lazy way lol or gel topcoat and dip. Cure in between ..
Several things can cause cracking or horizontal ridges; (1) aging, (2) poor/cheap products, (3) lack of moisture, or (4) vitamin deficiency - lack of Vitamin B or the need of Biotin.
I got mine done today and an hour later, I get home and notice they look like they shattered. Tiny tiny looking cracks. I like the color acrylic powder more then anything. Yours came out so pretty !
A lot of nail salons are cutting their dip powder/acrylic powder. Those “tiny tiny cracks” could have come from 2 sources: (1) someone could’ve CUT the top coat/gel with some type of additive OR (2) the powder has the addictive that counteracts with the top coat.
Thank you for the video! My nails always lift at the corner of my tips. I feel like I would end up filing off the dip on my free edge when I do my shaping. Should I do a few dips then shape my tips and do the remaining dips on the free edge? Thanks for all the help!
Are you pre-shaping your nails during the dry manicure process? Pre-shaping the natural nail minimizes your ability to over-file on the backend. Thus leaving more product/dip layers on the nail and minimizing lifting from the free edge. Thank you so much for your support & comment🥰
Thank you for the detailed video. Some dip kits have 3 liquids/bottles. Do you recommend going across the nail's free edge with each liquid (when used)?
Yes! You should make it a practice to sweep the free edge with each liquid step.. This will definitely minimize lifting and prolong your overlay application. Thank you so much for your comment 🥰
You can apply the dehydrator on your natural nail before you apply the Nail TIP. Once you’ve applied the nail tip, apply the PRIMER to the natural nails - Avoid the nail tips. Make sure you add some texture to the nail tips by using your nail file or buffer. Then start your dip overlay.
Welcome! Normally you would use clear or some type of neutral color as a base; I didn’t use one bcuz I was going to soak this set off within a few hours. Thanks for the question! 🥰
Yes, start with a dry manicure. Push your cuticle back (trim them if necessary).. To prevent cracking you should add additional layers to your application (meaning: if you normally use 3 layers of dip powder, try adding 1 or 2 more layers) this will definitely help. If the issue continues, try switching your dip powder brand!! Hope this helps!!
Can I accomplish this effect with an e file? I feel like I need one to get deep into those edges since I have so much skin on the sides that get in the way
@wandaray7644 - it still could the technique or it could be the products? Are you applying a primer or a dehydrator to nails prior to applying? Are you removing all product buildup and cleaning up the cuticle area?
Add more layers to prevent chipping (meaning: if you normally use 3 layers of dip powder per application, try adding 1 to 2 more layers) this should help.

Excellent video
Thank you 🥰
I have learned so much I’m going to buff before the activator🙄 Lol Thanks!!
Glad I could help 🥰..
The primer is a dehydrator not acid bond for those mayb wondering. As I was confused before.
Thank you for this video! Do you know what would cause horizontal cracking in my natural nail? I’ve had it happen twice when doing my own dip nails.
Several things can cause cracking or horizontal ridges; (1) aging, (2) poor/cheap products, (3) lack of moisture, or (4) vitamin deficiency - lack of Vitamin B or the need of Biotin.

I've had thay happen 3x at the same salon. Idk what caused it though
Thank you there aren’t many videos on dipping
I have a lot of videos coming 🔜 😉. Thanks for the support/comment!

Do I do the same with nails tips add the dehydrater an primer before putting it on?
You can apply the dehydrator on your natural nail before you apply the Nail TIP. Once you’ve applied the nail tip, apply the PRIMER to the natural nails - Avoid the nail tips. Make sure you add some texture to the nail tips by using your nail file or buffer. Then start your dip overlay.
Why did you not use clear powder first? Just asking I’m new💗
Welcome! Normally you would use clear or some type of neutral color as a base; I didn’t use one bcuz I was going to soak this set off within a few hours. Thanks for the question! 🥰
Hi, any tips to prevent cuticle lifting and preventing cracking? Thx
Yes, start with a dry manicure. Push your cuticle back (trim them if necessary).. To prevent cracking you should add additional layers to your application (meaning: if you normally use 3 layers of dip powder, try adding 1 or 2 more layers) this will definitely help. If the issue continues, try switching your dip powder brand!! Hope this helps!!
I love this! Ty..can I get this color?
Yes, this color is available. The color name is AMIRA & it’s available | www.naildipstudio.com
After buffing, did you clean your nails with water and soap or just wip the excess with dry paper towel?
Soap 🧼 and water, first! Then I wipe them down with alcohol.
Just what I needed!! Thanks so much!
Can I accomplish this effect with an e file? I feel like I need one to get deep into those edges since I have so much skin on the sides that get in the way
Yes, you most certainly can accomplish this look using an eFile.
How can I stop dip powder tiny pieces (chipping away] from breaking off?
You should watch my “stop dip cracking” video. I have tons of tips/tricks that could help you!
Thank you for this video!
So did you only use the 100 grit side while filing around the edges and cuticle?
Thanks for watching! I use the 180 grit side to file the cuticles/sidewalls. I use the 100 grit side to file off bulk.. 🥰
@@naildipstudio Oh so maybe I had it backwards, I thought 180 is coarser than 100. Is it the opposite?
The higher the number - the softer the grit. The lower the number - the coarser the grit.
Ok yup I had it wrong ha Thank you for clearing that up for me!
No worries 😉
Have you used an efile on your nails instead of buffing? What is your dip removal process?
Yes, I have used the buffing nail bit from my eFile unit to buff out my nails.
@@naildipstudio after I commented, I saw your dip removal video. I've been doing my removal all wrong!🤦🏾♀️
@huniebon - I prefer the double-bowl method for soaking off my nails. It’s definitely quicker 💅🏾
What type primer??
I’m using the NDS Primer (step one).. It’s currently available on my site / shop: www.naildipstudio.com…
Fyi the buffer she is using is 180
Thats whats needed i have one of those
I can’t hear you and it’s all the way up 😩 will save for later
I’m sorry!! I’ll record a new one!!
I've done all this and my free egde of my nail still lifts
@wandaray7644 - it still could the technique or it could be the products? Are you applying a primer or a dehydrator to nails prior to applying? Are you removing all product buildup and cleaning up the cuticle area?
@@naildipstudio yea..to all your questions
@wandaray7644 Have you tried gel & dip powder? The rubber base gel would replace Step 2; this might work better for you.
@@naildipstudio I do gel and dip powders
@@naildipstudio never heard of the rubber base gel
Omg this is so detailed and helpful thank you!! I’m going to be trying this tomorrow!
Thank you ☺️
How can I stop dip powder tiny pieces (chipping away] from breaking off?
Add more layers to prevent chipping (meaning: if you normally use 3 layers of dip powder per application, try adding 1 to 2 more layers) this should help.
@@naildipstudio thank you so much 😊
