Baby boomer pink and white ombré with dip powder

[@luvsknitting4378]

Love this. Baby Boomer era was mid 40’s to the early 1960’s. The time when WWII was over and all the soldiers came home, got married & started their family, thus a boom to the population.

[@MarlaKris]

That makes total sense!!

[@SouLesSfAtaLiTy]

Incredible!! I decided to try dip powder for the very first time tonight. I have been doing DIY nails - everything from acrylic to plain polish for most of my life - but especially in the past five years. I go in spurts, and sometimes my nails look like crap for ages, my cuticles always look like crap. But tonight for some reason for the first time ever, I decided to try dip nails. Honestly, the only reason I never did before is because when I saw them on people, I didn’t like the bulkiness, not realizing that they probably just weren’t doing a great job. It seems like a lot of work. On a whim tonight I ran to my local Sally Beauty to grab a starter kit and came home to watch some videos. I mainly did it because I’m growing out my nails and one of them ripped a little and I wanted to repair it. Oh my God my life has changed forever. This was the easiest fastest thing I have ever done. I want to say thank you for your videos because while I have been watching a lot of them, I really enjoy yours and when I saw the thumbnail for this ombré I may have cried a little bit. So gorgeous! Anyhow, I love that you just get straight to the point of the video without a lengthy headshot and dialogue 😂

[@rebeccahollar6821]

I tried to read through some of the comments before I asked, I see you used that stuff brush to wipe away loose powder, I feel like that would rake all of my Powder off. What am I doing wrong?

[@MarlaKris]

That’s a valid concern! But once the base sets (only takes a few seconds) the powder that’s adhered is not going anywhere. If you brush too soon (if the base is still wet) then yep, it’ll mush things up. I like to use a fluffy brush first to see if it’s dry enough to scrub.

[@krislamotte489]

Honest question.. if you haven’t applied the activator yet, why is the stiff scrubby brush not taking off your dip powder? Or perhaps you are lightly brushing? … absolutely love the look though! You mentioned you would put links to the products in the description box but I didn’t see a link for the activator or the dip gel (or whatever it’s called right before you apply the powder) could someone help me out with this info? And again thanks for the content on how to make such beautiful baby boomer nails!! ❤

[@MarlaKris]

I got you! So the dip base, which is glue, does air set. So as long as you give it enough time to set (only a few seconds really), you can scrub off excess with no movement. The activator makes the glue super hard and completely dry and ready to file. I don’t recall which liquids I used for this video but my current favorites are the azure beauty dip liquids! I get them on amazon 💜

Do you know any company with glue dip system that I could start offering that is very good but better for us as we have to breathe that?

Well, perfection is definitely an illusion! Practice makes progress! As far as using your non-dominant hand, I do have some tips! - make sure you eat and avoid caffeine! Reduce the shakes - keep your hand/wrist stabilized on your nail desk as much as possible - go SLOW and light-handed - practice on swatches if possible - do your dominant hand first that way you’re not fatigued after doing your non-dominant hand Hope that’s helpful!! 💞
