Thank you Marla 😊 sometimes my dip looks lumpy but I decided to pour over and it helped significantly. Thank you so much for your help 🙏🏻 🥰 thankful to have you
This is so helpful! I just started using dip and there have been many yoga and downs so far, mostly with filling. I think I can do better after watching this. Mahalo!
Thanks for this very informative video! I think my problem is using too much dip liquid at the base of the nail before at dip. Way too much bulk. I think between working on that and filing as you showed us it may look a lot better. Thanks. You make it look so easy!❤️❤️❤️
I am in love with the way you shape your natural nails. I can’t seem to accomplish it though. I always end up too square or too round. Have you ever considered doing a video on that? I’d personally love to see your method. Your videos are fabulous by the way. I’m obsessed with your whole channel. 😀
Love how thin your nails look even with builder and dip! Would this be the same process for using gel liquids? Just wipe the inhibition layer off the last, file, then add a gel top coat?
Omg!!! Great video!!! I’ve already watched it three times. I’ve also added all those files into my cart. I’m a little confused the link to the 150 grit file doesn’t have 150. There’s 100, 180, and 240. I’m only a year into dipping and I struggle with my cuticles, big time!!! Also struggling with chunky glitters but that’s another thing. Lol Do I need to look for 150 grit or will another grit be ok? Thanks for your help!!!
Hehe omgoodness thank you!! Ugh, that happens sometimes when a product becomes sold out - I got you tho! Here’s another 150 grit (100 is too coarse and 180 is probs ok but I find too soft) amzn.to/3ZvWzUN
The buffing block is much fiber and meant to leave the nail ultra smooth while the sponge file is a slightly more corse grit and is more meant to even the nail - it will leave slight scratches 💞
I received a dip nail kit for Christmas and I don't want to try to learn to use it until I get an e-file. Can you recommend one that is good quality and is going to last, has everything I would need for mani/pedi and doesn't cost more than $60.00... if that's possible. Thanks!!
@@janellbrogan1168 you can use any efile on your natural nails.. it’s the bit that you have to use. You definitely want to use only fine sanding bands or diamond bits on the natural nail. No carbide, nothing with teeth ❤️
You do you, Boo Boo! Using the thin file for the cuticle area is genius. Your are a genius Marla! ❤
Well shoot 🥹 I lobe you Amuuuu 🫶❤️
@@MarlaKris 🤣❤️
Recovering from surgery and binge watching your videos while doing my nails. Wonderful tips as always ❤️
I hope you’re healing! 🙌🏻💞

Aww I’m so glad that worked better for you!!! 🙌🏻💞
@@MarlaKris yes so much better 🥰 you're awesome 🫶🏻
You make filing look easy! Thanks, Marla!
Once you find your routine, it’s easy peasy!!
THIS is where I need the most practice lol. Great refresher on filing, thanks Marla!
So glad to be helpful, sweetness! 💞🫶
I love the nail set it's so cute and Marla is very sweet person and amazing nail artist 🥰
You’re so darn sweet to me 🥰
Do you have an efile video for filing and buffing after (or during) gel method???
If you’re doing the gel method, you can use the same exact filing routine! 💞
This made such a big difference for me, thank you!!
I’m so glad! You’re so welcome! ❤️
You make it look so easy. I suck at shaping my nails evenly. I’ll keep at it, though. Lol Thanks for sharing!
Practice makes progress, sweets!! You’ll find your rhythm 🫶❤️
Thank you Marla!! 🥰❤️🙏🏾
Thank YOU!! 🫶❤️
Thanks for this, I definitely learned something’s. Do you ever use an e-file for this process or just for prep and removal?
Yes! Here’s my video on how I use an efile over dip th-cam.com/video/kAnWzvTRBOE/w-d-xo.html
@@MarlaKris thanks Marla!

Knowing is half the battle!! Pease let me know how the next dip goes! 🙌🏻💞
Thank you Marla!! I needed this.

Thank you so much!! So you’re looking for a square shape with rounded corners? Or a different shape?
Square with rounded edges. No matter how slow/careful I try to be, I can’t seem to get it right.
Thank you!! L❤ve your tips!! 💕

@@MarlaKris thank you!!! I should have my new files in a matter of days. Can’t wait!!!
Tyfs❤
You’re so welcome! 💞🫶
Thank you for this video.
What liquids do you recommend?
I had a horrible reaction to some UV liquids and I am still recovering. 😮
Oh no!! Ok def try mani boss. It’s my current fave liquids system! 🫶
What’s the difference of the sponge buffer and the buffing block?
The buffing block is much fiber and meant to leave the nail ultra smooth while the sponge file is a slightly more corse grit and is more meant to even the nail - it will leave slight scratches 💞
How do you prevent the no-chip top coat from chipping on dip powder nails?
Do you mean dip top coat, gel top coat, or polish top coat?

There’s one on sale right now by melody susie that I think is within your budget!! I’ll link it here for you.. amzn.to/3QBQvpP
@@MarlaKris thank you!! I need one for natural nails so this one won’t work for me, but I’m going to check more from that brand. Thanks again.

@@MarlaKris thanks for letting me know,I appreciate it!!
I cannot find a slim file anywhere locally. I'll use your amazon link.
Yeah they’re super hard to find in the wild lol
Good morning, Weirdo Queen 👸
Good morning beautiful!! 💜
Aww the slim ones are sold out 😞 hopefully they restock soon.
Here sweets! Found more! amzn.to/3X4o9GR
@@MarlaKris good, the others didn't really look thin, nabbed these
@@MarlaKris you are the best! Thank you 😊
@@tajuannalee3158 you’re so welcome! 🫶❤️
Been trying to find those slim files but your link doesn't seem to be slim? Oh maybe it is.... nm lol.
Lol glad you found them!
@Marla Kris via a different link you shared, those others had 2 one said thick but the deminsions were the same so didn't trust it .....
Good morning weirdo. First ❤️
Good morning gorgeous!! 💜🫶
I don't know if it is just me but the Amozon links are in Spanish
Well that’s odd 🤔
So, WTH was that thing that looked like a long drill bit? Scary for nails.
