Fantastic video - thank you ! Most videos irritate me and I can’t sit through the whole thing , but I have watched yours Twice back to back , it’s short sweet and to the point with all the info I need to do this right , I Love you !!
Thank you so much for this video. I have decided to do my own nails from home and they do not look like yours at all. I have learned so many good tricks to make them look better next time. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO!!!!!!
Welcome to our little DIY community! 💗 my first MANY manicures look like my toddler did them 😵💫🤣 but with practice and patience I got a little better! You got this!! 🙌🏼
I love the back to basics. I needed this. Get those scragglers lol I love it. Your cuticles always look amazing. Do you ever use anything other than the buffer?
Lollll those darn little pieces that hang on the side ! So depending on how they look after buffing, I will also run a nail file around the edges too if it’s needed. Today’s mani seemed okay after just buffing but if it doesn’t then I use the 180 grit file to clean up some more. Your application always looks flawless too! You definitely don’t need any advice from me lol!
@@SipAndDip aww thank you 💗😊 I am trying to focus on my cuticles more so I like to see what other people do. I just got glass files to try those around the cuticle area too.
Thank you for this very informative video... Can you use regular very light glitter instead of the dip powder kind? Also do you buff the glitter nail? Is thst why you put that coat on before? I forgot the name of what it was..I am just getting extremely into the dip art nowadays and wondering.. thank you for your tips and videos
I just got the glass cuticle pusher and am amazed at results. Excellent suggestion. I can’t wait to try your other application tips when I do my next mani. I do want to ask how thick are the Vividip liquids?
Yayyy!! I loveee the glass cuticle pusher ! 🙌🏼 can’t wait to hear what you think! VIVIDip liquids are amazing! Definitely on the thin side and don’t dry super fast either, so more time for clean up 🥳
@@jackiepowell3591 definitely great for ombré! 🙌🏼💕 we all started right where you are! I am still learning and practicing too ☺️ I love practicing on swatch sticks until I feel comfy with doing it on my nails too
I have definitely changed my normal dipping routine over the years. Previously, for solid colors I would do 3 dips of color. And glitters were 2 dips and 1 dip clear. Now, I do 2 dips of solid colors and 1 dip clear (same for glitter). I ultimately decided to start encapsulating everything because I was tired of clouding/ruining colors during file/buff process 😆 each brand and solid color behaves differently so as a precaution I decided to just encapsulate everything. It was really frustrating when it would randomly buff off color or cloud. 💖
Thanks for the video. I'm new to dip and this was very helpful. Just a quick question. I've seen on many videos that most people will say after they have dipped (before top coat) they file the side walls and shape like you did, but that they also file the top of the nail bed and do a "cuticle clean up" usually using an e-file. I didn't see that you filed the top (I saw you buff it). Given your method of 3/4 base first, does it eliminate the step for having to file around the nail and sidewalls/cuticle and top?
Hi Lesia! Great question!! So with the 3/4th method it definitely cuts down on the filing time. Recently I have been filing on top of my nail as well! Some of my recent videos I show it too 💕 I am working on showing as much as I can in videos but not having them be too lengthy/long 😆 I don’t personally use an efile because I am just more comfortable with hand filing ☺️ hope this helps!
Candi’s Skin Care, it was a limited seasonal scent but she does offer a “scent bar” option and should be able to make it! 💗 candiskincare.com/products/scent-bar
Hey love! Unfortunately I don’t suffer from dip flu so I have a hard time comparing the smells 😫💕 I’m so sorry!! I will say, it hasn’t bothered me personally and I don’t believe I’ve seen others say hers have. I’ve seen others say that having a fan on nearby and wearing a mask helped them. Sorry I wasn’t more help!
Yes! After you are done with buffing/filing, dust off your nails and apply activator. Then let it dry and wipe off with a dry napkin/paper towel before doing your top coat 💕
How do you prevent chipping on short nails? I tried capping my nails but they’re short so most of the liquid for capping them get on my skin not the nail.
I would suggest building up an apex then! So more layers, gradually building up strength towards the cuticle area. Here’s a video where I show a few methods 💖 hope this helps! DO’s & DON’Ts - how to prevent dip powder nails from CRACKING & CHIPPING th-cam.com/video/vhBz3q4riig/w-d-xo.html
Totally understand! You could wipe off on a napkin, paper towel or a lint free wipe 🥰 I usually use a napkin because of convenience. I also have these lint free wipes that I use to clean my nails ! amzn.to/2W0mEzz
Can you plz cover the dip flu... I am so sick. I love my dip powders but there killing me. I hope using gel will work for me. Otherwise I'm gonna have to stop using it altogether. Plz help ty
Hey love! I am so sorry to hear you are experiencing dip flu 😩💕 I do have a few videos up on my channel where I use gel liquids with dip powder! It could be a really great alternative for you!
Thanks for recommending a glass cuticle pusher. I'll have to try one. I love the look of clean cuticles but those nippers creep me out. And they hurt! Do you ever use a circle remover like Sally hansens with the pusher?
I’ve never tried the cuticle nippers because I’ve been so intimidated by them. But I do think I could use a little trim or possible try it with the efile. I know I am due for it 🤣🙈 so I did use the Sally Hansen’s cuticle remover when I first started out! But... I noticed I had a big lifting issue when I did. So unfortunately I had to stop. When I paint my daughters nails with polish I use the Sally’s on her and gently push hers back. I just didn’t have luck with using it but I know others that have!
@@SipAndDip very interesting. I've been using the Sally Hansen's and got lifting with gel polish so I gave up, lol. I'm just getting into dip but it seems to not be lifting nearly as bad on me.
@@lanoner I had gel peel on me too and Marla told me for gel to use a primer rather than a dehydrator. So for dip use dehydrator, and gel use primer 🙌🏼 I still need to buy a primer to test it out but it helped with her lifting
@@lanoner lately I’ve been really enjoying using VIVIDip gel liquids with dip powder too! Makes for a very clean application and no rushing. I also have been having fun with using gels for art too! It’s definitely been fun exploring the possibilities with gel 🙌🏼💕
Incorporating your tips and suggested products have really helped with my manicures. This video is especially helpful!

Ordered the cuticle oil after your rave review - got one in snickerdoodle, hope it’s amazing!!
Oh my gosh that sounds scrumptious!!! You’ll have to tell me how it smells! Helps add to my own wish list 🙃😂
@@SipAndDip it’s amazing! Smells like cinnamon & vanilla. Super yummy!!

Would you say ViviDip liquids have a strong odor? I’m trying to find liquids to help combat dip flu 😅 And I’m trying to avoid the gel method. Thanks!

Hi. I have a question. Do you need to apply the activator again after you have buffed and shaped your nails?
Yes! After you are done with buffing/filing, dust off your nails and apply activator. Then let it dry and wipe off with a dry napkin/paper towel before doing your top coat 💕
@@SipAndDip Thank you so much for responding back. I didn’t know you had to add activator twice. So glad I asked you. Thank you 💕
