Dip powder ombré HACK

[@75Bigsistr]

I have been dipping for 2.5 years and I thought I had seen it all, but NO! Thanks for sharing this, definitely going to try it this spring!

[@SipAndDip]

THIS right here is exactly how I felt!! 🤣🙌🏼 just when we think we’ve seen it all! Lol!

[@clairecoan6681]

Mind blown! That looks so much easier then the dip method, can’t wait to give it a go. Thanks Chelsea xx

[@SipAndDip]

Right?! My mind was blown too! 🤣🙌🏼 let me know what you think if you try it! 💗

[@Kamani2457]

I wasn't so good at the other ombre techniques, so I am excited to try this one!! Your mani is beautiful! Those colors are popping on your tan hands! It's still 32° in Wisconsin. We will not be having tans for awhile unless we go to a tanning bed.

[@mollyshores921]

This is awesome Chelsea! I may have to restart my search for a gel I’m not allergic to, just so I can try this 🤩

[@SipAndDip]

Oh nooo 😭 I’m sorry you have a gel allergy!! Have you tried any HEMA free gels? I had an issue with other gels until I started using HEMA free 🙌🏼💗

[@rileykelly4351]

I’d have to pick a classic, deep red. It never gets old! Thanks so much for the great tips on using gel polish! ❤

[@JessHotard]

Wow this is gorgeous and this ombré looks easy to do! Thank you again for another amazing video!

[@mslarlo]

Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to hear what you think if you give it a try! 🥳

[@TracyCampanella]

Love this idea! Will definitely try this. I love gel polish.

[@SipAndDip]

That’s what the original video had!! 🙌🏼 they did gel polish, then cure, then pressed the dip powder into it 🤯 so you could totally use gel polish if you’re more comfortable with that! 💗💗💗

[@BrooklynBlushCo]

Okay I’m officially obsessed!!!

[@SipAndDip]

Right?! 🤯 I saw someone do this with gel polish since it was “tacky” after curing and I’m likeeee uhm wait a minute!! We can do this with gel base! 🤣 I thought I stumbled onto something and then when I searched around apparently this is not new news 😆😆😆

[@TotallyKayla]

I'm about to go do an ombre! 😍😂 Wow! I've thought about this being an easier way but haven't been brave enough to try it lol

[@SipAndDip]

Ahhhh you’re back!!! 💗💗💗 you’ll have to let me know how it goes if you try it!

Oh wow! I love this technique! Definitely will try this technique out soon!!

[@SipAndDip]

So wild right?! I was shook! 🤣🙌🏼

[@TheMom2phoenix]

How does one remove this manicure? Does the warm water/baggie with acetone/paper towel method work, or do we need to file off the gel layers?

[@SipAndDip]

You can absolutely use the soaking method but as you mentioned, I would suggest filing down some of it first 💖 gel can be trickier to soak off so I use a 100 grit file to file it down before soaking 🫶🏻

[@TheMom2phoenix]

[@OmneyasWISH]

This is the only way I can ombre is with gel. It is so much easier. You don't have to race against a drying base. They came out so pretty. Almost looks like Tie Dye

[@SipAndDip]

So much yes!! I love that I didn’t feel rushed and could control the opacity more. Ahhh you’re right!! It does have a tie dye vibe!! I was thinking Easter eggs 🤣🤣

[@K119_]

These are amazing! Reminds me of cotton candy!!! You did AMAzing! 🤩

[@SipAndDip]

So many of y’all were saying cotton candy!! I’m here for it 🙌🏼🤣 I definitely thought Easter eggs lol! 🐣

Hey Chel’s. That’s so pretty. I just did mine yesterday also. I did a glow in the dark pink with a silver accent nail. ❤️🥰

[@SipAndDip]

That sounds so pretty!! Can’t go wrong with pink PLUS it glows?! Love it already! 😍😍😍

[@latishaw1474]

@@SipAndDip no you can’t. I’m going to order a glow in the dark blue . I really hope they have orange. That’s my favorite color. 🥰

Thank you so much!! 💜💙

[@Cornwall3]

I’ve seen gel ombré but not where you cure the gel first. Clever! Is that just one layer of dip and no filing? That would be great not having to file it! 👍🏻👏🏻

[@SipAndDip]

So I did 2 layers of white dip powder underneath for strength. You can absolutely do 3 layers if needed! Then activate, then file + shape. Then started the ombré 🥰

[@Cornwall3]

@@SipAndDip yes I meant you didn't have to file over the ombré.

[@SipAndDip]

@@Cornwall3 ohhhh! Okay!! I didn’t have to file over the ombré because I did before it 🥰🥰

[@Cornwall3]

@@SipAndDip yes that's great!

[@ruru6491]

This looks so cool!!!!!! It's going into autumn here down under, but why the hec not do a bright nail😆 I do have a question: do you still ableb to file and buff before the top coat and after the 60sec cure after all 3 colours are done? TIA😇🤔

[@SipAndDip]

I like your thinking! 🤣🙌🏼 So are you asking if you can file/shape after the ombré part? You definitely can! So instead of buffing beforehand, you want to buff after ombré? I would suggest putting something on top of the ombré to protect it from buffing/filing. So even just another layer of gel base on top, cure 60 sec, wipe off tacky layer, then buff/file. Then rubbing alcohol again before top coat. I hope I’m understanding! Please let me know if I misunderstood 💗💗💗

[@diri8659]

Mind blown! So quick question if you were to do just the french ombre tip, do you need to add clear powder to the bottom part of the nail to make it even or just put top coat after you finish the ombre? Would love to see a video of you doing a mani with the french ombre with that method!! Great video

[@SipAndDip]

Great question!! Honestly I would have to give it a whirl to see! I don’t think I would do clear though because clear + gel usually don’t jive well together. It leave lots of bubbles 😵‍💫 I almost think you’d be okay to just do the tip color and cure, then top coat! Because the base is on the entire nail and the powder is just being pressed into it 🧐 I’ll have to give that a try! I kind of want to try a baby boomer with this technique!

[@mslarlo]

Omg chels!!!!!!!I tried it and I'm obsessed with this ombre but I can't seem to post a pic. I did post it in the nailboo group

[@lodawnyoung]

Does the tacky residue get on your brush? If so how do you clean it?

[@SipAndDip]

Miraculously it didn’t!! But I would guess that may vary with each gel brand on if it’s tackier 💖

[@lodawnyoung]

@@SipAndDip Perfect! I can't wait to try. Awesome video!!

[@suzannewebb7661]

I really want to try this.💕 Can I use all dip powder and liquids if I don’t have gel?🤔

[@SipAndDip]

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t suggest pressing the dip powder brush into a tacky layer of dip base. Dip base is sort of like super glue. But you can absolutely do the scrub ombré method or tapping with dip liquids! 💖

[@suzannewebb7661]

@@SipAndDip Ok thanks!! Glad I asked.👍🏻😁

[@alanam9446]

That turned out so pretty! I can’t wait to try it. What do you use under your peel base though?

[@SipAndDip]

I apply peel base directly to my natural nails 🥰 so I push back my cuticles, dehydrate, then apply peel base. After peel base I apply a layer of dip base & let that dry. I find the layer of dip base helps slow the dry time down on the first layer of dipping. It also gives me an even surface since peel base can be finicky. Hope that helps! 🥰

[@pollyleasure4820]

How do you get the brushes clean

[@SipAndDip]

I use hot water and Dawn dish soap to clean them 💕

[@purpledragondc7532]

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!

[@SipAndDip]

Thank you so much!! 💗💗💗

[@lasallegirl701]

Hi Chelsea I have a question when do this is it necessary to do each nail separately or can you paint all the nails with the gel base, cure all the nails, ombré all the nails and then cure again? Thanks.

[@SipAndDip]

Absolutely!! Whatever you find easier and more natural for you 🥰 🫶🏻

[@lasallegirl701]

@@SipAndDip thanks. I’ll going to try this today. I’ll tag you on IG if it’s successful. Lol

[@kamillagirl]

My gel lamp is currently out of commission (cord went M.I.A.). Can I use this method with regular sticky base coat or the dip powder liquids?

[@daniellemadix1185]

Holy cow, so easy! Do you think this would work ok with glitters too?

[@SipAndDip]

Ohhhh !!! I think with a fine glitter, probably!! A chunky might need some hand placing but that’s normal even for a tap. I need to give this a try 🤣🙌🏼 thanks for the suggestion!!

[@carleyjohnson3420]

What is the first dip, the whiteish color?

[@ladyj6691]

So you’re curing over the powder again that you just placed on the tacky layer? Just making sure I get it because I’m DEFINITELY trying this lol it looks so cute and easy! I tried the scrub method the other day and it did not turn out well lol this looks way better.

[@ladyj6691]

I wonder if it would work with Revel Margo as the base…. I was planning on Margo for my next set and maybe Margo on all the nails with a Margo/pink ombré on one or two of them using this method. 🤔🤔🤔 I hate that I have a job and have to work, I wanna try it right now lol

[@tajuannalee3158]

Omg 😱 Mind Blown 🤯

[@SipAndDip]

RIGHT?! That was my same thought!! 🤣🙌🏼🤯

[@smileyface050208]

So I usually use gel with peel base over it. We’re yours just prepped and then peel base on natural nail? Just curious to try!

[@SipAndDip]

Yes! 💗 I apply peel base directly on my natural nails and underneath my dip powder. My manis last from 1-3 days ☺️

[@SuperGlitterific]

What is a good affordable gel base and top coat that has strength to it, isn't too thick or thin and does not yellow and stain? I'm asking because I have a severe reaction to dip liquids and need to start using the gel method. Pleeeeease help me.

[@dominicanchu1ita]

So pretty. 😍😍😍

[@SipAndDip]

Thank you! 🥰🥰

[@erikazuluaga3890]

Hello, I did it, but I feel that they are very opaque, how can I fix them? I smooth the top coat and apply more gel and more color?

[@SamanthaFrench-p9s]

I have an issue with my gel top coat peeling?? What did I do wrong for it to peel?

[@estefanyfermin6318]

Omg i love this if i want to do a baby boomer with this technique how would i do it just tap the white at bottom or tap the nude up top?

[@SipAndDip]

I want to try a baby boomer with this too! I feel like you could do it a few ways! 1. Do 2-3 dips tan shade then ombré the white on the tip 2. Do 1-2 dip of tan, then ombré BOTH shades on top I want to give this a try to see which blends nicer! I think both options are totally doable though! Let me know if you try it and how you decide to go about it 💗

When using peel base, how long do your nail last?

Around 1-3 days 🥰

[@tammyslatten]

After you ombre and cure. Can you use dip liquids not gel?

[@SipAndDip]

That’s a great question! 🤔 I imagine so! I would have to try it out. I’m thinking… maybe after curing the ombré… 1. Activator 2. Top coat 3. Top coat Like normal I just don’t know how the activator would react with the ombré/gel 🤔 if you try please let me know! 💗
