Thank you so much for such a high quality video! No lengthy introduction, no unnecessary explanations, just the answer to my question!!

[@mixedbnailz]

Quick & easy steps under 3min. No talk easy to understand ty

[@charnellpatrick4910]

I need to find a nail tech cause I’m sick of the local nail salons talking about you can’t get dip powder with fake nails...and here is the proof that you definitely can right here!!! 🤬🤬🤬

[@Marcia.Marcia.Marcia]

That's crazy cuz the salons around here will do whatever just to secure that bag.

[@charnellpatrick4910]

Ms BigMom not this one...I live in a small town...and it’s full of businesses and people stuck in their ways

[@luluann34]

I do it all the time. They just don’t want to do it for you. I can’t handle the primer used in regular acrylics so I get tips and dip.

[@shelleyrobinson6500]

Its the only way my local salon does them now

[@maddiesharp7888]

my salon used to charge 8 dollars PER NAIL for nail tips. they changed it now to 10 dollars for all the nails. i just stopped going there because I like doing them myself

[@emmaoreilly8743]

I copied this completely because before when I did it it turned really goopy and wasn’t nice. Following this made it so much easier and it turned out perfect. I used the exact same colors, the exact same everything and it pretty much looks the exact same. So helpful 😀

How strong was the nails?how long did they last?

[@CyraWolfire]

halla odom I do my nails like this and I used to do it with asp dip and they were always breaking and coming off I’ve had my kiara sky ones on for 3 weeks with none of the previous problems! These are strong powders and I feel with dip quality is better 💗

[@cherrylove34]

I followed every step in the video and I’m so impressed with the way my nails came out! I used to do them differently and every time my nails would feel weak and the tips of my nails would always break but this time they feel so strong and look professionally done! Thank you so much for the video!

[@aishaqureshi3860]

Could you please tell me how long they will stay?

[@cherrylove34]

@@aishaqureshi3860 hi! Sure. They stayed on for two solid weeks, after that the one on my pinky fell on its own but I think it was my fault because I put the acrylic too close to the cuticle on that one, the others were still sturdy.

[@kierrakeith5828]

I have Nailboo, instead or Kiara Sky. When applying the top coat, I experience the brush hardening while I'm using it. It's impossible to do a 2nd layer of top coat because of the hard brush. Does anyone else experience this? What can I do to stop this from happening?

[@jessicasavage9782]

@@kierrakeith5828 I watched a video earlier in which she said you might not be waiting long enough for the activator layer to dry, so it’s causing a chemical reaction with the base coat on your brush. Make sure the nail is dry, and wipe a little alcohol on it before using the base coat. She also said she keeps a paper towel beside her and wipes the brush off on it to keep it from getting contaminated.

Sooooooooo happy I found this video! I've been wanting to try nail dips for so long since the pandemic hit, but had been super nervous about it. I was initially going to get nailboo, but then I stumbled across your videos and, I don't know, I just like the way you advertise and do your tutorials so much more. Watching these made me gain incredible confidence that I could successfully do my nails using this product - with or without tips! Zooming to your store now!

[@Merdusa_x]

I love how this video is quick and straight to the point. Great angle to show the work. Perfectly applied! I have been doing nails on and off for years now but sadly, I’ve yet to perfect anything! I get so sad and discouraged and try my best over and over to try getting it all right. But watching videos like this pick up my spirits and remind me that it’s all in my head and to continue practicing what I love to do.

[@KiaraSkyNails]

We are so happy you found this helpful! We wish you the best of luck in your nail journey! 💗

[@delorismiller7635]

Had to watch because smaller towns frown upon tips that's not even long and making it costly. Yet if you're not looking, they'll skip something as simple as a base coat, saving money for themselves. You can give great tips and still receive nasty service and I mean all across the board. Very helpful video and now I just need the order. Thanks

[@tegansmith5621]

Hi! I love your video, I was just wondering if by getting the acrylic tip before the dip would that damage my natural nail at all or will it still help my nails grow out as a regular dip would? thanks!

[@leenasmiles4319]

Tegan Smith Acrylic will damage your nailbeds as with their dip powder will give it vitamin E and help strengthen your nail instead of damage it, Also gluing the tips on your natural nail won’t necessarily damage it when you rip it off is when it can damage your nail!

[@crux6331]

LeenaWow that is bullshit. They’re both acrylic. Dip is just formulated a bit different and a thinner powder but they’re still the same. That whole “vitamin infused organic dip powder” companies sell is merely just a marketing gimmick. Acrylic helps grow the nails out, and doesn’t damage as long as you know what you’re doing as a nail tech and the customer cares for them properly. You’re right though, pulling nails off (fake and gel polish, ruins your nails.)

[@jjanineM]

Can I use any base coat? And any gel top? I got a dip powder kit but it was missing the bonder but has the activator.

What did you use as the base? Nail Glue?

Hi! I was wondering if I can apply this but with full acrylic nails. I don't have the tip acrylic nails, I have the full ones. Will it last? Is there anything I should do differently for them to last longer? Thank you!

[@Carrot101]

Acrylic powder and dipping powder are almost exactly the same except they are applied differently. You should not use them both. If you do this method, specifically use dip powder as it’s made to work with its activator and glue

[@IAmDanii_]

I love these videos they’re always my favorite! Simple sweet & fast, I’m looking into purchasing but I was curious what’s the difference between dipping powder & acrylic powder? In any situation would you be able to use an acrylic powder to do a dip set ?

[@gladitsnotme]

There is no difference.

[@CandyxCoatedxBubblez]

Hey kiara sky 👋🏽👋🏽. I was wondering if it’s possible to use a matte top coat over the dip powder nails rather than the accompanying (shiny) top coat. If not, is there a way to make them matte? Maybe eliminating the top coat all together?

[@kalinabassin5377]

CandyxCoatedxBubblez my tip would be to use a shiny top coat underneath to really seal everything in, them go over that with a matte. I do this over regular polish and it lasts so much longer!

[@evajona4437]

Is it the dip seystem base ? I mean the glue one or just regular gel polish base coat?

[@Browneyegirl_13]

Informative video. What Base coat are you using? As I'm highly allergic to gel polish, top coats and base coats. What did you use to stick the nail tip to? Glue or polish? I also didnt see anything about the curing process

[@KiaraSkyNails]

Hi love! 💕 We only have one dip base which is the Kiara Sky Dip Essential! Glue is used to stick the nail tip onto your natural nail. 🫶 You do not need a lamp to cure dip powder! I hope this helps!✨

You can definitely put a nail polish over our dip powder! Follow the application steps for building the nail with the natural powder and after your last layer of natural, apply seal protect. File, shape and buff and then apply the nail polish of your choice.
