DIY DIP POWDER NAILS AT HOME | The Beauty Vault

[@kimberlylegris]

i'm a nail tech and you're doing great! honestly, i know how much it hurts our business but getting such a luxury like your nails done is very expensive. i'm happy to see that at-home methods are available and that people like you teach other people how to do it properly.

[@TheBeautyVault]

This is such a nice comment, thank you so much! 💖 I have so much appreciation for nail techs and loved getting my nails done until I started doing them myself. I'll probably still splurge once in awhile and go see my fave tech/friend.

[@yetzelinalmaguer1382]

I have a question do we have to go over with the gel polish too or was that just personal preference?

[@kimberlylegris]

@@yetzelinalmaguer1382 it's personal preference because the dip powder top coat does not perform well.

[@tipsyvalkyrie6618]

I think the majority of those who do their nails them selves (like me) are not damaging the qualified nail tech community, because we would never be able to afford to have them done at a salon in the first place. We're not being taken away from salons because we would never have been able to have been clients in the first place 💅

How long do dip powder nails last?

[@dinahernandez2930]

That’s it. I’m doing my nails on my own from now on. This is a HUGE money saver. And is perfect for me because I love to have my nails done all the time and I’m very picky. So this way I have full control 🤩

[@isabellahu4606]

Its so much better to do at home😀

[@heatherhopereed2147]

I'm the same exact way. :)

[@meadahagain]

Dina Hernandez that’s exactly how i feel

[@jenniferbryan295]

I'm a 30 year professional, and I am really enjoying your videos!!!

[@brittp5434]

I appreciate how honest and thorough you are . It’s helpful to fellow diyers like myself ❤️❤️❤️

[@kenz13.]

A little tip I’ve learned is to wait to brush off the excess powder, I noticed my brush started getting clumps in it because the glue wasn’t completely dry yet when I was brushing off the excess. I usually move onto the next finger and then brush off the excess before putting on the second coat that way the glue has had some more time to dry. I’m not a professional either and just love doing my nails. I love your videos and how helpful you are!! 💕💕

[@TheBeautyVault]

Thank you! 💕 I totally noticed this too the other day, great tip.

[@GiGiLovingMe_24]

Great tip....I'm sometimes impatient 😵😵😵

[@CynamonKis]

This was a very comprehensive video, as it covered nail dipping, tips, gel, as well as the kiss drill set. I had the drill set but really didn’t know which blades to use before seeing this video. Thank you!

[@hannahruef6694]

I ordered mine from Google Express, and got $20 off because it was my first Google Express order. I love my kit! I got the color one as opposed to the french one. Thank you for this video!

[@Shell3m]

I have watched TONS of videos on how to do nails, but YOUR video is the only that breaks it down layer by layer. Thank you so much for this and I'll be using this video very soon for my own nails. 😁👍👍

[@superstarnails1]

Can you do a removal video on this/how to remove the dip powder? Thank you!!

[@thatpggirl]

i believe you can jus soak w acetone!

[@megan4203]

Soak with acetone and put cotton soaked with acetone it has to be 100% on each nail with foil wrapped over for 15-20min then remove and scrape the excess and file down and buff your nails! This should work and remove any tips! Hope this helped

[@TheBeautyVault]

Hi missed you hope you enjoy the video! Video starts at 3:10 Tip application 3:10 - 10:00 Dip powder deets + application 10:10 - 17:00 Gel polish application 17:05 - 18:30 Thanks for watching 💖 If you end up recreating this, tag #thebeautyvault on instagram so I can see! 🤩

[@joybowers4584]

The Beauty Vault You can use no wipe top coat instead. It's nice plus no sticky residue to wipe off.

[@emmyvee6938]

Be very careful ordering these kinds of items they amazon. These items are not meant to withstand high temperatures, and you have no idea where it’s been )sitting outside for ever,) or what’s inside is legit. For these reasons, as a cosmetologist, I told my sister not to buy gel polish on amazon but she did. Gave her herself chemical burns and messed up all of her nails. Be careful.

[@karaconigio5373]

Of course you have the perfect nail bed!

[@spiritualff]

Question: I probably missed it in the video so I'm sorry for asking but I'm trying to figure out if I am supposed to use a base powder and the color powder. Did you use the natural color just to make sure there wasn't a visible line? Thank you for the video!!

[@ThePackQueen]

Your intro was exactly what I needed to hear! First time I did my nails I got an upper respiratory infection, next time pnuemonia. Def using masks from now on! Thank you!

[@thecorner9397]

I can’t believe you’re literally going to make me buy this

[@wiscovirgo]

i feel like your nail videos have become the most popular ones on your channel because you’re so good at explaining what you’re doing and you go into detail about the steps & they are just great tutorials! i learned how to do my nails at home because of your videos!

[@Heythere8008]

Bubble bath is SUCH a gorgeous color, found out about it senior year of high school (2015) and haven’t stopped using it since

[@beautybyjosiek]

I really freaking love you !!! Your personality and your vibe seems like it would soooo awesome to be around ! ❤️❤️❤️

[@brendasierra3418]

I love that you give so many tips and that you work through what might work and what doesn't.

[@KnMn-lt2fr]

I love how you started this video with thanking your subscribers! And I like your voice. It's not all high pitch and annoying. I was able to to sit through the whole video. New subscriber right here!💜

[@nadastankovic5245]

K373n M00n , yes I like that as well by thanking her subscribers . I think in life people don’t thank others as we should. I thank someone no matter how little they do for me. I thank my children each day that they are good human beings. 👏🏻

[@n.k.4481]

So do you like the integrity of these nails or the (structure gel base) gel polish nails better? And yes your nail videos are the best! Please give us more!

[@michelleschryburt8933]

Wow! Happy to see you talked about ventilation. Started doing dip in December and was sick all winter. Took me months to realize it was the nail products. Horrible!

The way your explain and apply everything is so therapeutic! I seriously enjoy hearing and watching your videos. Thank you!❤️

So glad I found this channel. Definitely prefer you to not go into first impressions because people always do things wrong. The tutorial with all the extra helpful tips and techniques is what I live for!

[@sarathor8226]

THANK YOU for talking about dust and dust filters! I feel there usually is to little talk about ergonomics for DIY-ers. We need to protect our lungs!

[@kristinaappling4708]

Thank you so much for making this video. I am so glad this video showed up on my fed. I learned so much. I just recently purchased a dip nail system at Walmart. And I am so happy they came out with this system. Because for some reason the acrylic liquid irritates my skin around my nails. I always do my nails at home. I was paying to get them done. But money got tight and I couldn't pay to get them done. Now I have the dip system and it doesn't hurt. Again thank you so much for this video and teaching me more about this product.

[@whiterussian0889]

Wow wow wow such a beautiful job! One of the most cut and dry and CORRECT dip powder videos I've ever seen. Great job 😍

[@TheBeautyVault]

Thank you! 💕

[@krystynarohde9005]

So. Helpful. Thank. You. I’ve done dip for over a year at salons and am gonna start doing it myself. I love the idea of putting a gel top coat or color over the dip because I love the strength dip gives me but there’s so many cool glitter gel polishes our there!!! Thank you!!

[@Artbug]

This is the BEST BEST BEST dip powder tutorial I have ever seen! Im so happy I stumbled on to this video! Thanks hon!!!!

So question? Are the dip nails a nail building process? I have only seen them at Sally Beaty and thought with all the colors that they were just an alternative to polish. Can you please clarify? Thanks. Great video.

[@cindynguyen8982]

in love with the finished product. it looks professionally done!

[@TheBeautyVault]

Thank you! 💕

[@JustePruna]

I ALWAYS come back to this video before giving myself a full set 🙏🏾 I just started using dip powders (I was using builder gel before and that takes me a lonnnnng time) and it's very easy and quick once you get used to doing it on yourself! I love your video, so helpful

[@LisaJanette]

I use the dip system as well from Sally's. Quick dip. I find that I need to use the activator on every powder layer. Otherwise when I file, chunks tend to come off. I also dont even take the 'excess' powder off. I just leave it on. Great job!!

[@JenniferDufoe]

love all ur nail videos! i also do my own nails at home for many years. but for some weird reason i find some kind of joy from watching someone else do their nails. and u never know when u will find a great tip. like the mask. i will be using one next time for sure. my husband uses them for work, yet i never thought about asking him for one. thank u :)

[@TheBeautyVault]

Thank you so much 💕 I love watching them too, they're oddly relaxing. The mask will change your life (health)!

[@jolisamasucol5259]

This video was soo helpful. I'm so glad you shared some health and safety tips. I was always thought it was important but felt it was 'over the top' so glad to know this is the right way.

[@ashleyhall1185]

I didn't take you seriously about the dust collector when I first saw some of your videos, but I cough for days and have the worst congestion after I do my nails. I also sound like a smoker or like I'm coming down with laryngitis for a couple days. Definitely getting a dust collector!!

[@A.xo.b]

Definitely buying this because of you ! I always do dip powder but I moved an hour from my nail tech and don’t have any good places near me all google reviews under 3 stars no thanks I’ll save money in the long run doing it myself

[@ruthiedoeslife]

Flawless. I recently did my own fill using the dip powder and a kiss e file and they turned out amazing thanks to this video!

[@silviajackson4856]

thank you for these nail videos, I followed your tutorial and I figured out my mistakes, I had only tried twice before and after two days gel chipped but now it lasts two weeks! next step is applying tips, this video is very useful!

[@jumezz7861]

I love your nails videos! I'm going to switch from acrylics to doing diy gel manicures😊 I was wondering, could you by chance make a video about how you improved your nails and grew them out after acrylics? Mine are always so paper thin and in bad condition, I just go back to acrylics.

[@DeeKlemann]

LOVE this product! I just want to add that I am allergic to gels and acrylic but I can use Kiara Sky nail dip powders. So if any of your viewers have the same issue as me, they can probably use this stuff too! TFS. Kisses and well wishes from Toronto XOXO

[@zibbyzoo4379]

Loved this video!!! I wear regular and indie nail polish over my dip powder nails and it stays on like cement over this. No need at all for gel polish! I sometimes wear a peel-off base coat when I first get my nails done so I can keep them shiny and change the polish daily, but then I file them towards the cuticle and put it right over the dip nails and acetone them off. Your video gave me the courage to try dip nails at home instead of paying $45 dollars every 3 weeks at the salon. Thank you!!!

[@TheBeautyVault]

Thank you so much 💖 I've been looking for a good peel off base coat too!

[@zibbyzoo4379]

The Beauty Vault Unt...it really, really works perfectly! Put on a medium-thin coat and let it dry fully before putting polish over it.

[@caitlinchamalbide553]

I love this... I have been doing my nails for well over two years. When I watch these videos I feel so educated. Thank you!!

[@tnailz5563]

hi!! i am a nail tech and just a little tip to save some product, when applying any type of gel polish on artificial nails no base coat is needed because the gel will stick to any artificial surface that is properly removed of shine! On natural nails of course a base coat is needed!

[@imjustdoingmybest6236]

Please please please!!! Please do a budget beginner video. I don't want to spend $100+ on stuff I may never use if I feel like I suck at it. I'd rather work my way up. Amazing and beautiful work btw!!! ❤️

[@kcargueta]

Im Just Doing My Best I bought a beginner dip kit from the brand Kiss at Walmart and Walgreens. They ranged from $12-$20. I bought 2 because the first kit I bought didn’t have the nail tips. Anyways, it was a good introduction to Dip powders. I suck at it right now so I’m glad I didn’t buy the $100 Kiara Sky Kit I wanted lol

I know this is an older video but would you recommend the dip method over the normal brush/acrylic builder/monomer method? This definitely looks easier!

[@BeanSupreme414]

Good on you for including the PSA on wearing proper protection for your lungs. The monomer used for acrylics damages the liver and kidneys with chronic exposure, but even intermittent exposure poses some risk.

Wow! Your nails look STUNNING- hardcore nail envy. I want to try the dip, but I'm scared I'll get the base coat too close to my cuticle bed :( However, I've always been pretty good at doing my own nails (polish/shaping only) so I think I could do it. I also have soft brittle nails, so as much as I think the dip will ruin them (I've gotten them done at a salon before), it's also probably the least damaging way to harden them. Thanks for the video!! I know I'm late to the game, but just found your channel and subscribed!
