DIY DIP POWDER | DIP SYSTEM HACK

[@NailedbyNikki]

*PLEASE NOTE* THIS VIDEO IS JUST SWATCH & DEMO NOT FULL APPLICATION but as long as you prep well and add a layer of base (acrylic or gel depending on how u plan to use the powder) you can definitely get 2 to 3 weeks out of any of these methods 😊

Hey. Quick question. I would love to use nail foil strips but I do SNS on my nails. Can you do a video? Do I use the clear powder on top of the strip or gel top coat or either or? Please help

[@kyray9332]

I would just like to know how you're going to get the roughness off the top without filing it and how does it stand up to that? Maybe next video

[@NailedbyNikki]

Oh yes ma'am you have to file and buff! I have videos on dip powder and such... this video I just wanted to show you how I made them and what they look like. As far as filing they hold up exactly the same as any other enhancement... you should try it

I’d like to know the realistic durability of these techniques. Because as a licensed and educated professional I can tell you that although they look amazing all but the first technique do not have the basis to withstand even mild daily wear and tear.

[@NailedbyNikki]

Hi Kim. Thanks for stopping by😊 I was just Swatching colors here to see how they looked... I did not prep and prime or lay down a protection layer and things like that.... just wanted to have fun making new colors and I think they turned out pretty 👍🏽😊

[@oily__oddyssey6159]

Nailed by Nikki they absolutely did!!! I love the concept of custom blends 💕💕💕. I was just asking if you tested the long term durability? I saw something similar on another video and plan to start to make custom blends at least for personal use.

[@NailedbyNikki]

@@oily__oddyssey6159 As long as you prep well and add a layer of base (acrylic or gel depending on how u plan to use the powder) you can definitely get 2 to 3 weeks ... I will add this little message in my comments section so more people will be aware this was just Swatching and not real application... thank you for bringing that up

[@NailedbyNikki]

I say go for it! Whip up your own blends not only bc it's saving you money, but bc it is fun! Aaaaand you can make something no one else will have! 😊😘 add you a base layer before you use the custom blend and you will be fine! 👍🏽💅🏾

[@denasewell]

FYI: Due to the power of marketing most people do not realize that "Dip Powder" and regular "Acrylic Powder" are made from the exact same polymer, to create the powder. Often, it's a combination of ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) the difference is that "dip powder" is pulverized to a finer powder . Higher-end name brand "Acrylic Powder" like Young Nails are finer powder... the cost is higher because It takes much more processing. But dip powder can be used as a regular acrylic powder you just have to adjust how much liquid monomer you use which most nail techs do by second nature. great video/tutorial!

[@NailedbyNikki]

Exactly! Just a marketing ploy! 💯 thanks for watching

[@tugorditafavorita]

Whats a nail dip activator substitute??

[@emilyscott2109]

ItsAdriiiBitchez not sure but in her videos doing the dip with “regular” acrylic she doesn’t even use an activator. She just uses gel polish then dips, then light and repeats until she has all her layers then top coats. I do this also but I have an activator so I use it also (just in case) lol

[@karamoncrief9948]

... And if you mix it with builder gel it's polygel. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I appreciate all of you so much.

[@DanteVelasquez]

And this is why I make my own nail colors using acrylic powders, gels and pigments. so pretty!

[@mayizam]

I love dip nails. Once I tried it, I couldn't go back to standard acrylics. I had tons of supplies left over and found that all of the powders worked great. Then when I ran out of the dip activator, so I used my monomer and it worked perfect! And I love those shadows. I have used them for makeup, nails and even my clay sculptures. I mean, a dollar! How could I not try it. lol

Yup! Get you some mia secret acrylic and you are all set!

You sure can! At the time I had no idea what mica powder was 🤭

[@tmoni7839]

@@NailedbyNikki me too until I read online how many things you can create with mica powder I wish I thought of it sooner. The sets they sell on Amazon is expensive right now. But the mica powder sets go from 20 up to 53 different colors. So I figured with your idea 💡 mix the mica powder together and just order the dipping liquid set… and there u go we save 70.00 bucks or less on different colored acrylic sets sold online.

[@lucygutierrez2968]

You can even get 50mg bags of glitter for 2 bucks or 100mg bags .from aliexpress an wish that's where I get my glitters too . trust me Michael's and hobby lobby are to expensive all the stuff u can get on wish even the acrylic powders .

A cant afford it, B dont wanna wait for shipping from UK. And I just put big jar of Mia Secret Clear in my cart at amazon because I remembered I have these nail powder metallic chrome powders, like 16 of them by Artdone, that will make killer, shimmery, may even come out metallic gollds and coppers thatll make gorgeous new dip colors! Now to the dollar store to hunt for wickex pink and neon orange powdered pigments that I can imuse to try to dup the Not Polish colors. So wildly cool! Thank you for brilliant tip and channel.

[@maddellenamansi235]

My favourite is the monomer. Only because I've used it. I find it dissolves the powder, and I get a smoother finish. Love using the eyeshadows and chalk to create cheap coloured powders. xxx

[@NailedbyNikki]

😊😉

[@WickedWordzz]

I have a question. I have dip powders that chip very very easily. Do you know of anything that would help me make them stronger? Like, maybe adding extra clear acrylic powder? It annoys me when I have pretty colors, but they won't last a day.

[@NailedbyNikki]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipKbh3mQqd1lr6M Try to dip this way 😉😉

[@yvettealdrich1201]

I have so many make up pigments that I have gotten on clearance. I even have some beautiful MAC shimmers that I would never use on my eyes, but nails? Oh yeah! I knew that you could mix them with clear to make your own polish, but I never dreamed that you could make personal dip powder colors with them! Does regular acrylic clear powder work with the dip activators? With the clear polish it seems like it may not harden like acrylics or dip nails do.

[@NailedbyNikki]

Yes ma'am you can use regular acrylic and the activator bc the activator is drying the resin not necessarily the acrylic powder so you are good to go!😉

[@joyhammette7095]

Download the wish app and aliexpress app and once u do shop for all the stuff and its like couple bucks u won't have to make your own I promise u will love it you will be able to buy all colors for very cheap shipping does take like 3 weeks but I think its worth it to get 10mg jars of color powders and they are 1 to 2 dollars each they have everything . u will love it.

[@allyrose2890]

have you tried the dip powder with the regular nail polish on your nails (gold one)? Wondering if it helps make them strong like with the glue/bond or not so much? I don't like the idea of the crazy glue on my nails and was wanting to try it with regular nail polish so wondered if you did already. TY

Lasts longer than regular polish if you prep well and add primer 😉

Lol, as a paper crafter I have used those eyeshadows for all sorts of stuff (inc adding to acrylic powder). You can also use artist grade pastels to do this because they have a good strong pigment and can be bought cheaply. You can just scape them with a blade to get the powder.

This idea is genius, inexpensive and the end result colors are beautiful, but please dont hate on dollar store nail polish. I use almost exclusively dollar store polish for EVERYTHING with my nails, and if you know how to work with it, it makes absolutely no discernible difference. Literally no one believes me that I only use dollar store nail polishes until I show them my entire nail polish collection and they see that the only deviation is my polygel kit, which I still use dollar store polish over the top of my polygel nails.
