[@ManisbyMegan]

😍 I definitely feel like I have more control that way!

[@lauralindagarcia3779]

I love this Mani! You explain everything so well even for me an only 2 time Dipper lol. Thank you for explaining about adding more powder when it's still a little wet to absorb...that was a huge help to me.

When you took that file to your nail I was like omg what is she doing? Where do you get the products you use? Your nails are absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@agag3449]

Loved this video! Do you ever put tops on or just use your natural nails?

[@paulakay4398]

Where you dab pro base on around 8:00 I use activator instead and I wrap a snack sized ziplock or saran wrap around my finger so I can press my glitter down really flat! Then I apply my base coat & dip into clear to encapsulate!

[@BettyblacksS]

Definitely gonna try this I got this done at a nail shop and the lady mess it up.

I got the dipping powder and the base coat and activator. When I used the dip as you did, it was so thick and drippy. By the time I got to the glitter stage the surface was so lumpy and bumpy! When I filed and buffed them, the glitter started to peel off. Any tips???

[@nicollelosonczy9000]

Hi I am new at this and I don't have any products besides the glitter baseco and top coat. I don't know what an activator is and something else you used I forgot the name. They look beautiful

Thank you!!!! Of course you can do it!!! It’s so easy!

[@annettekrueger8814]

does your glitter actually lay flat and can you feel bumps on it when you are done? also, should you clean off your brush after applying base over the dip powder? thanks

[@TheAnya_Rodeny]

Do you have any tips for caring your nails...I noticed constant dipping my nails seems to be damaging my nails when I take them off

You can find them on Amazon! Just type in "plastic tasting spoons"

[@nnejdee5094]

I tried dip powders for the first time this weekend. My glitter was gummy when I tried to file that I ended up peeling most off. Then the it took FOREVER to dry and I smudged them all up. It looks so bad lol. Practice I guess, yours are gorgeous!!!

[@may142004]

I found you need to put a lot of activator on for glitter.

[@ManisbyMegan]

What Angela said! LOTS of activator!

[@TiaVaylik]

Hello! I love the look, my question is... Do you have a video for beginners? To teach you what you need to do dip? I am very new at all this, just started polygel, now seeing you video I would like to learn more. Can you do this look with polygel

[@chrissymeri4957]

What is the dip stuff? Is it just acrylic powder like they use at nail salons? I wanna learn to do my own nails because salons are just too expensive and tbh the fake nails are ruining my real nail.

[@amandafox29]

What file do you use, I'm scared I will go through the clear and mess up my glitter and I feel like buffing isn't cutting it!

[@ManisbyMegan]

I use a 100 grit! But you could probably use a 180 if you want something a litter finer 😊

[@loidacrisostomo2825]

Hi, Did You cure it with the dip powder ?

[@ashockablack1670]

What’s the base coat? The activator that comes with it or the clear nail polish 💅🏾 coat?

[@ManisbyMegan]

The base coat is one of the 3 dip liquids that you need for a dip powder manicure. You will need base coat, activator and top coat 😊

[@aprilhu5694]

[@dianahillier6501]

Do you have any tips for your removal? I tried the clamps and pure acetone with glitter and it didn't work very well. I don't want to soak my fingers if I can avoid it too.

[@idkidk2454]

Nail technician student here, it is highly recommended to soak you fingers in pure acetone to dissolve the hardening product on your nails. You are to soak the entire nail till the product is softened and to remove it simply use a pusher or wooden stick to slide off the product, if it is too hard, keep soaking your fingers for a few more minutes and try again. This method is used to avoid any damage to your nail beds and nail itself. I wouldn't recommend any other methods.

[@peekaboobabe17]

Someone recommended this to me and it’s worked wonders, needed to do more then one cycle but it really cuts down the time needed to soak the dip off Walmart Equate Nail Gel Remover www.walmart.com/ip/Equate-Beauty-Gel-Nail-Polish-Remover/947152027

I don't know if it's the brand I'm using or my technique, but mine comes out so uneven. The glitter tip is much thicker than the rest of the nail.

That happens to me, so I started taking some glitter and mixing it with clear powder in a separate container and dip my tips that way, comes out just right for me, I too cannot get it to do like she is doing.

You don’t dip at a 45° angle? Is there a reason why you choose to dip flat? I’m just starting out with this dip stuff and I would like to know the proper way to do it or the way to get a better clean dip

[@ManisbyMegan]

I lay my nail flat into the powder because I feel like it makes the application more even and leads to less buffing. Also, I’ve found that dipping into the jar at an angle can cause the liquid to push back, which leads to a lumpy mani that needs more buffing.

[@johnnierichardson3289]

Wow I see you putting the base brush back in the bottle many times without wiping it off, is this brand super forgiving?!! Is it hard to contaminate? Then I see you went in with the top coat within a minute of your final coat of activator without wiping off your nails with a papertowel! I have Double Dip liquids and they contaminate if I breathe. I hate them and am going to try something else! I am assuming this brand is incredible!
