This is exactly what I was looking for! I ordered a powder thinking it was a dip powder and turned out to be regular acrylic and I just did not want to go through the hassle of returning it. So this is perfect and I have everything I need to do it, except the pipette which is a great idea too. Thank you!!
This is the best nail tutorial I've seen in a looooong time! U explain everything sooo clearly, n u give the rationales so we can understand why certain products are necessary. N I've learned at least 3 new tips that I'd never seen before, especially the pippete tip!! I bet ur classes are awesome! Thanks so much for sharing ur knowledge and talent with us! ❤️
Your so sweet thank you! I really do appreciate your lovely comment. I'm glad to hear you learned something from my video. Thanks again for the love ❣️
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda Hello Thank You for this. I noticed you didnt add top coat after the seal protect and buffing the nail. U went straight into gel colour. Why is that? What are the benefits? Someone Please let me know. Thank You.
Great tips for doing my own nails. With cost of everything going up, I had to cut out a few luxuries. Salon nails were first. I have done the brush on acrylic, press on nails & silk wrap. I found this video an it looked so much easier than anything I have tried yet. I have all the products so am attempting the dip acrylic today! Wish me luck! Ill let you know how they turn out.💖
I’ve always had my nails done, from the age of 14... I recently found out about the dipping system and tried it .. first time was a disaster! Second time was better, still wearing them... but I’m so excited to try it your way!! You made this look so simple, and thank you for explaining what all these products do and what they’re for!! You’re so talented and your nails look gorgeous 🥰
Thank you. I'm a mom of 4 that loves to have my nails done, but I love saving money more so... this works perfectly. Those dip powders are crazy expensive.
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda Hello Thank You for this. I noticed you didnt add top coat after the seal protect and buffing the nail. U went straight into gel colour. Why is that? What are the benefits? Someone Please let me know. Thank You.
@@angelitagatica please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe she did not use top coat after the seal and protect and buffing because the seal and protect does exactly what it says, it seals the acrylic in. But for someone who did not have the seal and protect, and was using gel base coat/top coat instead of gel resin, would top with gel top coat to protect before buffing and before going in with gel polish. Hope that helps
This video was exactly what I needed to watch. My natural nails are weak and will break if they aren't covered with gel polish. I just started getting dip and I love dip nails but I'm never pleased with the shape or bumps left in my nails. I'm pleased to know I can used clear acrylic and use up my gel polish :) Thank you so much for all the tips!
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda I think I need a video on how to fix the chipped part of my nail also (with acrylic) - I noticed you did not use a heat lamp I like that so it is just a gel color but you dont need LED?
@@Izzywizzy74 it's gel polish I didn't show the curing process but all gel polishes needed or uv lamps to cure them hope that helps. Any chips you have I would file down a bit hydrate the nail the. Do base glue then dip until it's to your liking. You will probably get a lump in the nail since it's only a spot that needs to be done. Or you can remove that dip a d re do it so that it's a new nail.
Hello, I am self taught so always looking at new ideas and picking up tips and tricks. This is wonderful! I have tried, but keep failing, to perfect getting the perfect bead of acrylic using the monomer. Plus the monomer stinks and I end up getting some on my fingers I’m not aware of that causes irritation and reaction. Not good. I recently started using acrygel instead which works but I’m left with acrylic powders not being used so this lit up a 💡for me. The pipettes are such a great idea too. It’s more precise, quicker and less mess and wastage. A win win kind of situation. I’m so grateful to you for taking the time to share this with us and I can’t wait to try it. You explain/show clearly each step too, so much appreciated ❤️💅🏻🇬🇧💐👏🏻🥇🏆
The acrylic dip technique involves a few products: acrylic powder, nail glue, and a top coat. To begin, you apply a layer of glue all over your nail. You then dip your nail into any acrylic powder you choose while the glue is still wet. After taking out your finger, tap the excess powder off the nail and dust it away after the glue is completely dry. You repeat this process two or three times depending on your preference: layering glue and acrylic powder. Once you’re satisfied with the color, simply shape up the nail to make it smooth and add a topcoat!
Omg, I like that part! 😂😂😂 I think it's bcuz my cuticles are usually in shambles by the time it's time for new set. So I luv seeing that dead stuff slough off.
I'm sorry I have been trying to figure out how to turn the volume down but TH-cam editing doesn't have a volume change editing button. I will keep searching to figure that out.
Thank you so much for this video! Been doing this system since the beginning of covid in early March on my own nails (since I am a nail tech myself) and at the time I was running low on builder gel and couldn't get more because cosmoprof was closed in my area. I remembered back to my kit from school that I still had a bunch of acrylic powders I just wasn't getting use out of, so decided to try the dip method with them and holy crap it works. Have had nice nails this entire time and I love it.
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda so what do I need basically - acrylic powder, base coat and activator and top coat... I don't like gel polish as I don't want to use LED
Thank you for sharing! I use a Base coat then the Acrylic powder and put a gel color over and it us perfect! I will try it with the glue! Kind regards from South Africa 💕💅🤗🇿🇦
Yesenia Estrella De Anda hi! Wonderful job with your video! I’m a cosmetologist/hairdresser (always did nails just for fun) I just started using polygels! And I love it! But before that, I had bought a high definition acrylic powder in pink white and clear! Now I have no more nail clients (moved) and it’s too hard to use on myself lol I’m slow so I’m glad I found your video! I can use any acrylic powder for this method? And any type of brush on nail glue as long as I have an activator? Thanks for sharing!
Thank you 😘 I do cute the gel polish I just forgot to include it in the video. Any gel had to always be cured and I am trying my best to always include that part or say it in my newer videos. ❤️
I just subscribed. I found your video very helpful. I’ve used regular polish for years but have now expanded to gel and dip polishes. Your explanations are easy understand and your voice is easy to listen to. Tfs
Gels and dips are all new to me. I'm old school and duel licensed in CA and AZ. Took a break 10 years ago or so, and now trying to become current. Question, did you light cure your gel polish and top coat? Are all dips fine acrylics? TIA
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda I've never, ever seen that done before, but it's sheer genius!!! Makes so much more sense for conserving product, n prevents that weird clumping that happens when u accidentally get too much!❤️
Same here!! This is my preferred method of overlay with my clients, but I hate trying to 'tap' the perfect amount of powder off of the scoop. I am ordering a bag of pipettes now. Thanks for this frustration free, time saving tip!!
thanks so much for your video i've been a nail tech for 30 yrs and was having so many issues with dip because the activator was harding my dip top coat, im hoping to use up all the dip colors by doing as you've said and using a gel topcoat praying this will work as i have lots of clients who want dip nails
Excellent tutorial! Thank you because I have tried the dipping according to instruction and it was less than spectacular. I will try this and you speak clearly and not too fast, appreciate you. Thanks again.
I don't know how good it is, but I noticed at Walmart there was a dip kit and you can buy the activator with the kit or separate. Edit: This is the nicest set of dipped nails I have seen so far. I'm going to try your method. I already have a pipette to use as well. That idea is sheer GENIUS! I have watched a lot of dip nail videos and I haven't seen anyone use a pipette. Decorate them and get a patent, you could sell them.
From what I remember that kit has an activator. It should have everything you need to do your own nails and sometimes there on sale. Thanks for watching and for commenting ❤️
@@feliciabreshears48 I haven't tried it yet but I have it. I have been sick so I haven't felt up to doing my nails. This week I will do them and let you know. I'm sure it's going to work pretty well though.
Thanks for commenting, I have never had an issue with putting my glue brush back in the bottle after touching the acrylic powder. I would recommend cleaning it with acetone after you complete the full set maybe that will keep it clean and clump free. 🙂
I use to use spray but I hated the smell and how my clients ts would complain of it going all around there skin. The brush is definitely my preference but they both worth the same and do the job thanks for your feedback 😊💓
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda I bought a spray activator also, I didn't realize the spray is same as stuff with brush. The kids dip nail kit comes a spray activator. Thanks for tips!
I love this hack, I discovered a month ago bcs I was searching something to protect my long naturals nails (they start to broke up). And I wanted something that wasn't to agresive like the acrylic with monomer and this save my nails haha
Love u !! Great vid! Luv that u save money and are "no nonsense" shopper. I literally bought that SAME cuticle nipper at Dollar Tree yesterday.. I thought I recognized it in your video !!!!! You are BEST*
i love it, it is quick and easy to do and this is what i was looking for when you do my nails at home. i would normally use base code when i was doing dip with regular acrylic.
So I’m not a nail tech at all. I use clear acrylic and 5-second gel resin. The “activator” I use is acetone🤦🏻♀️ only because I noticed it melts it smooth. Thank you for sharing activators to use!
Hmm never heard of that does it work for you? Acetone dissolves and removes any artificial product like acrylic and glue. I highly recommend using an activator made specifically for dip nails so that your results last. No problem Sally's always has sales on them too. Thanks for taking the time to comment 💓
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda I don't soak the nail, just brush it quickly to "seal" it. It lasts at least 2 weeks. But I am going to try activators specifically for dip nails.
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda I looked at the kiss gel nail kit and chemically speaking that activator is nail polish remover it may not be pure acetone but its fairly close.
So I just started to do my own nails. I went to sally and was sold a powder and acrylic nail liquid. Been trying and trying to make a bead not runny. But it never worked. Today I took a close look at the powder. It is dip powder! I already did my whole left hand as best I could and then applied a sally Hanson gel polish. Didnt like the color so I went to put a gelish over the top. But stopped to read that label. Soooo I decided to put the dip powder over the wet gelish. Then put under the uv light. It dried nice and hard. Then I put on another round of dip and gelish polish, uv again then top coat and uv. Geesh... So I'm wondering if instead of using the base/top coat then dip then activator if I will just be able to use what I have on hand. I guess I will wait and see b4 I go and buy 2 more products. And I will not trust the salesperson to get me the right products!
Hi Angela thanks for commenting ❤️ no need to go and buy any more products you can. Just use gel base then apply the powder then cute it under the lamp. Almost Sam exact way I show you on my video excluding the activator and your base / glue is the gel base. I get what you mean and you can use dip powders with the liquid (monomer) you just have to use less liquid and more powder so that the bead is firmer. Hope that helps ❣️
Hey I've done great nails with this method and it doesn't even need much filing! If you want to build fake nails then it will take forever but just to strengthen your own nails then it's an amazing method. It lasts a month and they are still a little bit flexible!
@@i.8885 Kiara Sky has a great tutorial about building nail extensions with dip powders. Instead of brushing the base from cuticle area to tip, build in stages like u would with regular acrylic beads. Start just behind the tip, then from apex to tip, lastly the full nail. Hope this helps.
@@Rachruff1979 sometimes I just brush on an activator that came in a sprayer bottle .... No need to buy another product if you have product on hand that really is the same!
How do you know the white shedding is not from e-filing down your natural nail rather than your cuticle? I've always wondered this! If you have the answer that would be amazing
Thanks for asking for me it's easier to tell becouse I don't apply much pressure with my e-file and I have taken e-filing classes to learn how to properly file without damaging the natural nail. Another way to know is you can feel the heat and see the dips on the natural nail. The main reason I use the e-file is because I have fibromyalgia and it affects my hands the worst I wouldn't be able to file all my clients by hands it just not physically possible for me so I had to learn how to use a drill to help with my pain. I also have a e-file and drill bit video with info on it. Thanks for watching 💕
The way I learned was by just accidentally filing too much one time on a fill I did on myself. I didnt notice until the next time I did my nails... (There was no pain or heat when I was filing) I did a soak-off, and I could see a little dip in my nail. I learned my lesson, and just didn't do it again. You live and you learn. I don't do other people's nails though, so I don't ever have to worry about causing harm to anyone else ...
I finally feel like I can maybe do this myself. I love your videos! You make it so easy and not make us feel bad for wanting to save money. I just have one question? Did you use a UV/LED light at all to cure the activator & powder? I know most gels are cured under a lamp. Even though more and more are not having to be. I still think it helps some of them stay on longer. Maybe just me 🤷♀️
Thank you so much for sharing! Just bumped into ur video and I loved it. I learned many tricks and even had a couple questions answered that I didn't know I had lol. Thank you!
Wow I have had such luck with the Kiara Sky Liquids. I have the problem you described with the Revel Liquids lol weird. Beautiful jodvty for sharing sweets 😍💅💎
Hi!! I know I'm late to your video so I hope you can see this question. Can you apply regular polish to the dip powder? Or has to be gel polish? I have a ton or regular polish and I'm just getting started on this dip powder I would love to be able to use my regular ones. Thank you and awesome video!!
Never too late 😉 I always try my best to reply to as many comments that I can. Yes you definitely can just make sure you use your regular polish base for smoother application of regular polish. It's actually easier to switch colors using reg. Polish when ever you get bored of a color. Hope this helped.
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda thank you so much for answering back!! So should I put the activator, shape and file the nail and then put the regular polish base? Or should I still use the top coat that comes with the dip powder and on top of that the base polish?
I been looking at dip videos allllllllll day. Im like you know what all this acrylic I have im about to use it fir dipping. Its always a way around everything
Thanks for the review! My mom is getting older, and I paint her nails for her. She wants to get a dipping powder kit. Can you suggest a reasonably priced kit that contains everything? Thanks :)
Thank U ! This is 1 of the easiest nail tutorials I've ever seen I came due 2 the stay N place '19 '😷 But I'm planning on learning to save me money! THANKS AGAIN A new subscriber 👍🏾
that was exactly the question I was going to ask I have to aerosol cans of glue activator at to pump bottles of glue activator spray and I was wondering if they would work in this situation. Thank you so much!
Subscribed solely because of your awesome tips, attitude, voiceovers, and comment replies. Even if I don't do most of your techniques lol (but I do this 1, and agree with you on all of it)

Once you’re satisfied with the color, simply shape up the nail to make it smooth and add a topcoat!
Yes it does you just need to make sure you add a layer or two extra just in the well, where the nail tip meets the natural nail so that you have a strong Apex.
Can you do fill ins with this method? Also I watched your video and love it but I don’t have the activator or nail glue but I saw another video in the past where all they used was gel basecoat polish and the acrylic powder and then a top coat and gel polish also they used the light. Why is your way better or correct? I’m just wanting to learn.
That is so weird about your Kira Sky nail glue!!!! I have the set and that has never happened to my base 🤔 but I will be buying a little dropper tool for the powder!!! That is so genius!!!!
It is I heard amazing things but maybe I got a bad batch I got two bottles both as gifts so I just use the glue and por it in a different bottle. Thanks for watching 💕
I clean mine with a q-tip dipped in acetone...just wipe around the rim, making sure not to get it into the base...it works for me, hope it works for whoever is having problems with this..

Same here!! This is my preferred method of overlay with my clients, but I hate trying to 'tap' the perfect amount of powder off of the scoop.
I am ordering a bag of pipettes now.
Thanks for this frustration free, time saving tip!!
I noticed that the pipettes come in different milliliters what size do you use
Sandy Howard i was wondering the same thing! Is 2ml too small?
thanks so much for your video i've been a nail tech for 30 yrs and was having so many issues with dip because the activator was harding my dip top coat, im hoping to use up all the dip colors by doing as you've said and using a gel topcoat praying this will work as i have lots of clients who want dip nails
That music came out of nowhere, it was random 😆I would've rather just kept listening to you
Im sorru I had already uploaded it when I realized. All my future videos I do my best to hear them 2-3 through to make sure 💕
Me too 💙
Excellent tutorial! Thank you because I have tried the dipping according to instruction and it was less than spectacular. I will try this and you speak clearly and not too fast, appreciate you. Thanks again.
I don't know how good it is, but I noticed at Walmart there was a dip kit and you can buy the activator with the kit or separate.
Edit:
This is the nicest set of dipped nails I have seen so far. I'm going to try your method. I already have a pipette to use as well. That idea is sheer GENIUS! I have watched a lot of dip nail videos and I haven't seen anyone use a pipette. Decorate them and get a patent, you could sell them.
Did you try the kit with this video method? Can you tell me if you liked it?
From what I remember that kit has an activator. It should have everything you need to do your own nails and sometimes there on sale. Thanks for watching and for commenting ❤️
@@feliciabreshears48 I haven't tried it yet but I have it. I have been sick so I haven't felt up to doing my nails. This week I will do them and let you know. I'm sure it's going to work pretty well though.
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda You're welcome. I'm enjoying your channel. Thanks for the great content. 😊
Nice work! I would love to see how you do these powder nails when it’s time for a fill
I just use a regular gel activator - any will do just like you said. I like the color very much.
Me too!!
Thank you sooo much cuz I have been looking for this kind of video for years and I finally found it❤
Thank you ❤️ I have a few other dip videos as well similar to this one in my channel 😁 glad it helped 😊
You don’t have to wipe the nail glue brush in between applications of it? It doesn’t get acrylic stuck in it?
Thanks for commenting, I have never had an issue with putting my glue brush back in the bottle after touching the acrylic powder. I would recommend cleaning it with acetone after you complete the full set maybe that will keep it clean and clump free. 🙂
Wow! I love your dropper method!
Just a suggestion: I use a spray activator. It’s just easier for me.
may i ask where you get it from?
Rayito De Sol I get mine at Sally’s. Any resin activator works rather brush or spray. 🙂
Sally’s Beauty Supply.
I use to use spray but I hated the smell and how my clients ts would complain of it going all around there skin. The brush is definitely my preference but they both worth the same and do the job thanks for your feedback 😊💓
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda I bought a spray activator also, I didn't realize the spray is same as stuff with brush. The kids dip nail kit comes a spray activator. Thanks for tips!
I love this hack, I discovered a month ago bcs I was searching something to protect my long naturals nails (they start to broke up). And I wanted something that wasn't to agresive like the acrylic with monomer and this save my nails haha
Yes!!! This is what I've been looking for i dont have anymore monomer and have all this acrylic thank you so much!!!!
I’m so glad you did this because I accidentally brought the acrylic powder and was like oh no but I’m happy I can still use it
Awesome you can do so much with acrylic powder! Glad you enjoyed my video thanks for watching 💕
this is a life saver ! I'm done paying the nail tech so much money ! wow 😂
Once you get the hang of it you will love how much your saving and how good you get with time definitely try it ❤️
Yesenia Estrella De Anda thanks 😊
@@kayjames494 thank you for watching & commenting ❤️😘
Yesenia Estrella De Anda ☺
Love u !! Great vid! Luv that u save money and are "no nonsense" shopper. I literally bought that SAME cuticle nipper at Dollar Tree yesterday.. I thought I recognized it in your video !!!!! You are BEST*
Thank you so much ❤️ I try my best to save and spend smart while still getting great quality. I appreciate the love 😘
Good lord I love that pink color! It's like a strawberry donut glaze, ughhh ❤️
I love this! I’m Definitely ordering all these products. Your nails look beautiful!!!!
Thank you! Yes for diy at home this is awesome money saving and you can get creative 😍😘
i love it, it is quick and easy to do and this is what i was looking for when you do my nails at home. i would normally use base code when i was doing dip with regular acrylic.
So I’m not a nail tech at all. I use clear acrylic and 5-second gel resin. The “activator” I use is acetone🤦🏻♀️ only because I noticed it melts it smooth. Thank you for sharing activators to use!
Hmm never heard of that does it work for you? Acetone dissolves and removes any artificial product like acrylic and glue. I highly recommend using an activator made specifically for dip nails so that your results last. No problem Sally's always has sales on them too. Thanks for taking the time to comment 💓
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda I don't soak the nail, just brush it quickly to "seal" it. It lasts at least 2 weeks. But I am going to try activators specifically for dip nails.
@@jesskassy8759 yes I recommend the activator its specifically made to work with nail glue. Hope you end up liking the results! 😊
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda I looked at the kiss gel nail kit and chemically speaking that activator is nail polish remover it may not be pure acetone but its fairly close.
Yes, the ingredients in the KISS activator are-
Activator: Acetone, Ethyl Acetate, Dimethyltolylamine, Water (Aqua), Fragrance (Parfum), Benzyl Benzoate, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Limonene, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate, Citronellol, Violet 2 (CI 60725)
Really pretty pink!
Thanks 😘
So I just started to do my own nails. I went to sally and was sold a powder and acrylic nail liquid. Been trying and trying to make a bead not runny. But it never worked. Today I took a close look at the powder. It is dip powder! I already did my whole left hand as best I could and then applied a sally Hanson gel polish. Didnt like the color so I went to put a gelish over the top. But stopped to read that label. Soooo I decided to put the dip powder over the wet gelish. Then put under the uv light. It dried nice and hard. Then I put on another round of dip and gelish polish, uv again then top coat and uv. Geesh...
So I'm wondering if instead of using the base/top coat then dip then activator if I will just be able to use what I have on hand. I guess I will wait and see b4 I go and buy 2 more products. And I will not trust the salesperson to get me the right products!
Hi Angela thanks for commenting ❤️ no need to go and buy any more products you can. Just use gel base then apply the powder then cute it under the lamp. Almost Sam exact way I show you on my video excluding the activator and your base / glue is the gel base. I get what you mean and you can use dip powders with the liquid (monomer) you just have to use less liquid and more powder so that the bead is firmer. Hope that helps ❣️
Hey I've done great nails with this method and it doesn't even need much filing! If you want to build fake nails then it will take forever but just to strengthen your own nails then it's an amazing method. It lasts a month and they are still a little bit flexible!
@@i.8885 Kiara Sky has a great tutorial about building nail extensions with dip powders. Instead of brushing the base from cuticle area to tip, build in stages like u would with regular acrylic beads. Start just behind the tip, then from apex to tip, lastly the full nail. Hope this helps.
thanks for the video this really helps me. learning self taught how to do nails and I love this technique.
Pipette
This method looks like something that I could do.
Thanks 😉 yes it's super easy if you can polish your nails you could do this! Try it you might just love it! ❤️
You are awesome, thanks for sharing.
Shear genius! This will be my go to method when I'm too lazy to do polygel. Thanks for sharing. New sub btw 😜
It's so easy and fast for our lazy days for sure! Thank you. ❤️😘
LOveTHIS!!! Love the nails, love the nails, love the nails!!!!
Wow I can't believe I've been missing out on this video it has already been a year and this video is perfect and it works 100% great
This tutorial is the best so far.
Thank you 💓
Wipe your brush after going over the acrylic because your putting the product back into the glue and then the glue clogs and brush goes hard x
Thanks for the tips, yes I use activator I just prefer brush on activator than spray.
Yesenia Estrella De Anda never really used a brush on activator may give you a try 😊 your nails look beautiful xx
Do u cure yr nails with each coat u do?
@@Rachruff1979 sometimes I just brush on an activator that came in a sprayer bottle .... No need to buy another product if you have product on hand that really is the same!
I wipe my brush after applying and my glue still clumps up /: Does anyone have any tips??
Me encantaron. Gracias x compartir. Ese mismo método funciona con los productos de mía secret?
Muchas gracias, si funciona con Mia secrets. Cualquiera marca de acrylico y glue de uñas sirve. ❤️
How do you know the white shedding is not from e-filing down your natural nail rather than your cuticle? I've always wondered this! If you have the answer that would be amazing
Thanks for asking for me it's easier to tell becouse I don't apply much pressure with my e-file and I have taken e-filing classes to learn how to properly file without damaging the natural nail. Another way to know is you can feel the heat and see the dips on the natural nail. The main reason I use the e-file is because I have fibromyalgia and it affects my hands the worst I wouldn't be able to file all my clients by hands it just not physically possible for me so I had to learn how to use a drill to help with my pain. I also have a e-file and drill bit video with info on it. Thanks for watching 💕
I wonder the same
The way I learned was by just accidentally filing too much one time on a fill I did on myself. I didnt notice until the next time I did my nails... (There was no pain or heat when I was filing) I did a soak-off, and I could see a little dip in my nail. I learned my lesson, and just didn't do it again. You live and you learn. I don't do other people's nails though, so I don't ever have to worry about causing harm to anyone else ...
I finally feel like I can maybe do this myself. I love your videos! You make it so easy and not make us feel bad for wanting to save money. I just have one question? Did you use a UV/LED light at all to cure the activator & powder? I know most gels are cured under a lamp. Even though more and more are not having to be. I still think it helps some of them stay on longer. Maybe just me 🤷♀️
So you can use any nail glue to do this with any acrylic ?
Yes any nail glue with any acrylic the finer the acrylic the smoother application. ❤️
I love not wasting product thanks for the tip.
Thanks for watching ❣
Thank you for such a beautiful and well explained titorial.
Thank you 🙂💕
I appreciate you soooo much!!! Your videos have saved me a lot of money!!!!
You’re the first person I’ve seen use the dropper for the powder! That’s genius!
Thank you 🥰 I appreciate the feedback ❤️
Yes thank you for leaving your comment on the dropper!! I could not remember what they are called. 🙏😁
Thank you so much for sharing! Just bumped into ur video and I loved it. I learned many tricks and even had a couple questions answered that I didn't know I had lol. Thank you!
Thank you so much ❤️😊😘
Funny hack, the nail polish bottle holders are good for the spin brush in the bathroom, so it stands upright.
Nice! Didn't think of that 🤔 thanks for the tip! 😘
Love this. And that color is very pretty on your skin tone
Thank you ❤️😘
Wow I have had such luck with the Kiara Sky Liquids. I have the problem you described with the Revel Liquids lol weird. Beautiful jodvty for sharing sweets 😍💅💎
Really? I think I got a bad batch because my bottles are a pain lol thank you 💓
This is wonderful am definitely leaving monomer and doing the dip acrylic n dip gel thank u very much♥️♥️
So glad I watched your video I learned so much so I'm just checking that you used nail glue that you would uses to stick nail tips on thanks x
I thought so too
Yes if you look at a dip systems base it's ingredients say cyanoacrylate which is glue. So nail glue definitely works.
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda i know I shouldnt but I actually use super glue !!!! - I know... the nail glue I find always comes off...
Those plastic dropper is called a "transfer pipette."
Good video, very educational. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for watching ❤️
Hi!! I know I'm late to your video so I hope you can see this question. Can you apply regular polish to the dip powder? Or has to be gel polish? I have a ton or regular polish and I'm just getting started on this dip powder I would love to be able to use my regular ones. Thank you and awesome video!!
Never too late 😉 I always try my best to reply to as many comments that I can. Yes you definitely can just make sure you use your regular polish base for smoother application of regular polish. It's actually easier to switch colors using reg. Polish when ever you get bored of a color. Hope this helped.
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda thank you so much for answering back!! So should I put the activator, shape and file the nail and then put the regular polish base? Or should I still use the top coat that comes with the dip powder and on top of that the base polish?
@@cinthiachavez5458 yes exactly those steps no need for the dip top coat it's just glue. 😘
@@YeseniaEstrellaDeAnda thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your advise and help!! ☺
@@cinthiachavez5458 ofcourse ❤️ 😘
I been looking at dip videos allllllllll day. Im like you know what all this acrylic I have im about to use it fir dipping. Its always a way around everything
Thanks for the review! My mom is getting older, and I paint her nails for her. She wants to get a dipping powder kit. Can you suggest a reasonably priced kit that contains everything? Thanks :)
Also kiss from Walmart actually. The channel longhairprettynails does a bunch of diy videos with the prices and gets all sorts of kits.
I just got engaged n was looking for an easy diy set to do. Beautiful video n nails 😊
I definitely want to try this! Can you do this application with nail tips? I have short stubby nail beds. 😫
Yes i do. I also have small nail beds..
Works great on me ..no problems ever
You can just make sure to create an apex! Look for Kiara Sky videos
Yes you can just add more glue and product to the well, where the nail tip meets your natural nail 😍😘
Dipping last as long and is as strong as regular acrylic it's the prepping of the nail that has to be done correctly and you should have no problem 😊
Thank U ! This is 1 of the easiest nail tutorials I've ever seen I came due 2 the stay N place '19 '😷 But I'm planning on learning to save me money! THANKS AGAIN A new subscriber 👍🏾
Thanks so much I'm glad my video was helpful 💕 stay safe 😘
Also an activator spray will dry the glue immediately Iv been doing dip nails for 18 yrs before it become so popular x
Awesome! Glad to hear other professional nail techs that enjoy dipping 🥰😘 thanks for watching and commenting 💓
that was exactly the question I was going to ask I have to aerosol cans of glue activator at to pump bottles of glue activator spray and I was wondering if they would work in this situation. Thank you so much!
Which activator spray? The one for the hair?
Kakunaa Ngunaihe it’s called resin activator
What brand do you use?
I love this tutorial. Your nails are beautiful
Thank you so much❤️ your comment was filtered and u just saw it so sorry😘
Subscribed solely because of your awesome tips, attitude, voiceovers, and comment replies. Even if I don't do most of your techniques lol (but I do this 1, and agree with you on all of it)
Your so sweet thank you 🥰 I really appreciate the feedback ❤️
Gorgeous quick and fast, and very nice
Thanks you 😘
Thank you for sharing this video...I’m not good with acrylic..the dipping method has been working for me but I have wasted product this is a better method.
I'm glad to hear that it definitely helps save product. Thanks for watching 💕
The acrylic dip technique involves a few products: acrylic powder, nail glue, and a top coat. To begin, you apply a layer of glue all over your nail. You then dip your nail into any acrylic powder you choose while the glue is still wet. After taking out your finger, tap the excess powder off the nail and dust it away after the glue is completely dry. You repeat this process two or three times depending on your preference: layering glue and acrylic powder. Once you’re satisfied with the color, simply shape up the nail to make it smooth and add a topcoat!
@@paularooney1937 would this work by adding tips for length?
Gorgeous set. I love the color. Boy you made that look so so easy.
Would this work if you added a tip onto your nail?
It works for me
Yes it does you just need to make sure you add a layer or two extra just in the well, where the nail tip meets the natural nail so that you have a strong Apex.
Yesenia Estrella De Anda great tip!! I will be trying it!
Can you do fill ins with this method? Also I watched your video and love it but I don’t have the activator or nail glue but I saw another video in the past where all they used was gel basecoat polish and the acrylic powder and then a top coat and gel polish also they used the light. Why is your way better or correct? I’m just wanting to learn.
That is so weird about your Kira Sky nail glue!!!! I have the set and that has never happened to my base 🤔 but I will be buying a little dropper tool for the powder!!! That is so genius!!!!
It is I heard amazing things but maybe I got a bad batch I got two bottles both as gifts so I just use the glue and por it in a different bottle. Thanks for watching 💕
Yesenia Estrella De Anda of course!!! Loved your video and love dip
Powder nails! ❤️🙏🏻
I have the same issue with the Kiara base
I clean mine with a q-tip dipped in acetone...just wipe around the rim, making sure not to get it into the base...it works for me, hope it works for whoever is having problems with this..
Kristi good idea 😍
