    hey guys! i’ve gotten a lot of comments asking how long this set of nails lasted, and i found that it lasts anywhere from 2.5-4 weeks depending on how well you prep your nails as well as how hard you are on your nails :)

    • @katesnails
      @katesnails  4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Created by Annette you remove it just like gel polish or dip powder:) i file off the top layer and then soak with acetone

      Thank you so much for answering that I was wondering myself 😊. Do you find it better to do dip powder with gel instead of one system alone. Like only using gel or only using dip powder? Thanks for you time and this great descriptive video!!!

    • @gracia-dei4535
      @gracia-dei4535 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Adiary Munoz I think that this method is better due to the fact that it last up too 5 weeks

  • @lemonycatapult7300

    Just a tip for any beginners watching!! Cuticle oil before polish will cause it to peel, you should make sure your nails do not come in contact with any oils before the top coat is on. Don’t even touch your hair or face because the oils will transfer and the polish will not adhere properly. -a professional nail tech :)

    I started going to a new nail salon and this is how they apply the dip powder. They do the gel bade and dip powder cured even with dip color. It has lasted so long on my nails this way and my nails are not ruined. I get 3 weeks of a set, i could go 4 weeks but i hate the gap.

    I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video! Thank you, I've been wanting to do dip powder but honestly didn't want to spend the money. I knew there had to be some sort of hack for this. I'm definitely trying this tomorrow! I have everything I need. I didn't even need to buy anything extra. Doing polygel and acrylic take way to long for me. I think this will work better. I am going to use these short stiletto tips I just bought.

  • @spotteddog1716
    @spotteddog1716 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Little late to this video - I’ve been doing it this way for ever exactly the same technique with the basecoat and clear powder. But I’ve also been experimenting putting the basecoat down curing it then putting the clear powder in the colored nail polish. It totally works as well. Either way! Thanks for the video

    • @kiarahbrace4636
      @kiarahbrace4636 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Hayley Renee try dipping the nail the first time only 3/4 of the way and the second time a hairline away from the cuticle to prevent bulk and then the last time dipping the whole nail

    • @kctornado23
      @kctornado23 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I was having the same issue. What I found was to wipe off a bit more of the polish brush before starting at your cuticles on the second &third layers. This will prevent "flooding" where too much liquid pools around the cuticle and causes uneven coverage. Good luck

      GORGEOUSBAEBEAUTY if you are doing traditional dip powder kit you don’t need to cure them. There should be an activator that hardens them. I’ve been doing that for a year but I’m sick of it a little. I’m gonna try doing this instead and see how it turns out lol

      Actually you do need a base coat for the gel polish to adhere properly. If you don’t apply a base you Application will. It be smooth and the polish will peel super quickly. You always want to apply a base.

    I noticed you didn’t use a activator after you got done with the dipping powder process. I’m so used to using the activator. Is there a certain reason why you don’t use it? Would it cause an issue with my nail process if I did use it?

    • @katesnails
      @katesnails  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      i didn’t use activator in this case because i did not use resin with the dip powder. i used gel which does not need to be activated as it cures fully with a lamp. so therefore if you use resin you would need to apply the activator :)

      Carolina Roman Vlogs yes! instead of the clear you can do color and instead of the gel polish you can do a gel topcoat and get the same effect :)

    do you just remove all the powder/gel base coat as you would remove gel polish?
    also, can you do this on natural nails using base & activator or do you think it does damage?

      hi! yes, the powder and gel polish soaks off just like gel polish/dip powder. yes, you can use the base and activator on natural nails and i also like this method. i don't think that it damages nails if it is removed gently and correctly :)

    How would you remove this? By wrapping aluminum foil and soaking it in acetone?

      itsvytran yep, i find this is the best way of removal :) you could also file off but that would take much longer.

      file the surface bit off a little, use 100% acetone, leave for ab 10-15 minutes, gently scrape off what u can, and repeat until it’s all off (:
      oh and use cuticle oil afterwards to rehydrate ur nails, and the surrounding skin

    I may be late to the game.... Ive been doing dip for months and I've done gel in the past as well. But I'm curious, why combine gel and dip? What is the benefit? It came out beautifully.... Just curious on the why. Thanks! ♥

      hi! the main reason to use gel and dip is to avoid something called the dip flu (an allergy to the dip liquids). it also can sometimes be a little easier for beginners to use the gel and dip method!

    I have issues with my gel polish lifting and peeling on my dip powder

    • @katesnails
      @katesnails  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Simone Swindell the best way to avoid this is to make sure the dip powder does not have a smooth surface. gel polish needs to adhere to a rough surface, so file the top layer of powder before applying gel :)
