HOW TO DO DIP POWDER NAILS WITH TIP AT HOME | Revel Nail

[@paulsieswaim1862]

I have been using the dip method for 2 years. I have many tricks that work well and decrease the time it takes to perfect this technique. I use Kiss nail glue as the (glue)1st step. I use a small tray that holds the powder and place my nail on top of the powder gently. I do this to all nails, brush of excess and start again. 2-3 "dips". I then use the activator (purchased separately at Sally's) on all nails. Twice. Next I smooth and shape as needed. Use activator one more time. If you want, you can now use regular polish and follow with a topcoat. Or, if you have a colored powder, use regular top coat. Works well and I get 2 weeks out of this technique. You can buy everything separately at Walmart except the activator. Good luck!

paulsie swaim was it hard to change colors or takeoff?

[@paulsieswaim1862]

@@jordanquintana464 It isn't hard to change polish color. Just use a paper towel with remover quickly and buff the dip powder coat to remove any little rough bits, then polish again. I use the remover Soak it Off (blue) from Walmart to remove the acrylic. I wet a cotton ball with it and place it on my nail. I use those pink clippy things that you can get online (Amazon). They hold the cotton in place. I do one hand at a time. Usually takes 10 minutes max for each hand. I then rub the nails with a nice oil. This hydrates the nail. Good luck.-Joy

Thank you!

[@SheriMarieA]

So you flip your finger over upside down and then stick it in the powder? 😊

[@paulsieswaim1862]

@Sarah Lewis I use the activator from Sally's Beauty Store. The one I have came with a pump spray. I pour some in a clean nail polish bottle and use this to brush it on. Easier to control and not wasteful. You can clean an old nail polish bottle with a bit of remover. Then rinse it out and let dry completely. Good luck.

[@leechellwilbourn3044]

I followed this video step by step on a French tip set I had did on my self, and this is the best set I have ever done! This video helped so much. I did not use revel products, and the method still worked.

[@OTseven]

Very nice for me to learn. Your speed and diction are perfect. Not a bunch of story telling chit chat. Just to the point beautiful demo. And your voice is very kind. Thank you. This helped me a lot.

[@SweetTeaDelight]

I have dip kit and my first attempt wasn’t too bad but I didn’t know what I was doing so this clears up the mistakes I made. I haven’t tried to dip my nails in 2 years, so this was very reassuring 💖

[@GabbyAngelique]

Tressa Wells definitely try again! My first dip attempt was on my mom like 4 years ago and when I say it was awful....omg it looked like blobs lol

[@jillyoconnor5922]

Great video, I use a dehydrator or primer on the tip of my natural nail before adding the false tip and yes, the bond adhesive of the base layer really sticks to the nail and actually lasts longer than nail glue.

[@autumnkellicut8315]

Love love love this video!!! It taught me everything I needed to know about doing my new Revel nails with tips and they turned out as good as the salon! I love how she easily explains things and her voice is very calming to me... it was just my fave video I’ve found so far!!! Thank you Gabby! 💕

[@ericaj.m.1780]

Thank you so much hurrah I've learned a lot After spending 23 years of accrylic nails, im doing my own now and saving a fortune, practice practice But thank you for your help

[@deshadriancampbell7173]

This video ended up in my suggestions and I am very glad it did. I tried dip power almost a year ago and struggled and got rid of alot of the stuff but kept some jars in case I wanted to try again. Listening to you I know I made a ton of mistakes! I cant wait to try again. Thank you!

I've had a dip kit for about 2 years and haven't touched it but I will now! Thanks for this tutorial! Can't wait to try it now

Fantastic video! I'm so glad I came across you. I'm trying dip nails for the first time in about 12 years. My first attempt was yesterday and while it didn't go too badly I really wish I'd seen this video first. Still, you live and learn and I will re-watch this video again before my next attempt. I know it will make all the difference. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video for us :)

[@penelopesmith8425]

Hi, I just want to let you know that it was your video that I landed on and I can’t tell you how my nails turned out!!! They look pro!!! Lol 😆 it’s awesome THANK YOU! So much for this!!! I followed all your steps!

I just want to tell you that i try today after 10000000 trys that failed and yours its works so good, im so happy ! Thanks you 🥰

[@dpetty71222]

Great video. I have been doing polygel nails for a few months now and im tired of all the stickiness that comes with it. I just ordered my powders today so i will watching this video as i do my nails tomorrow. I have used a kit only once before (kiss nails) and i actually loved how they came out. So yea...THANKS!🙂🙃

[@VanessaLaNueva]

Your vids are easy to follow. No nonsense like so many others. Thank you!

[@haloluver147]

Can you use a gel top coat with this method?

[@brookeb98]

Ugh I needed this! I had a nasty nail break a few weeks ago and finally felt safe to soak my nails off today and rip to my baby nail stub😂 def going to try this

[@BeautyByNatalieAnn]

this video was so helpful! i tried dip nails with tips a couple weeks ago and it was an epic fail. i will try this next time. thanks for the awesome video lady!!

[@aimeekrieg9932]

❤beautiful, mine didnt look like that!😮

[@littlewifethatcould]

My best friend swears by dip nails, but every time I’ve gotten them professionally done, they are so bumpy and thick. I don’t have hours and hours to spend filing my nails until they’re all even. I don’t know how people perfect these! I would love to learn because it does seem like a nice alternative to my typical gel polish.

[@GabbyAngelique]

Veronica Anderson it really just takes practice! I like to take my time with the pro base to make sure I’m not getting a thick uneven layer of dip powder..also using a more opaque dip powder will help too that way you only need 2 dips so it won’t require too much filing

[@justinechoiiii]

I found that if my nail tech waits too long after applying the base and then dipping into the powder, the end result is uneven. I think the base may dry faster in some areas resulting in a blotchy finish. I would apply the base and dip right away! Also when applying the powder the dipping method is good because it’s an even in/out layer of the powder, but in the case like this video where the nail is too long then the technique she used is good. Definitely takes a lot of practice and a lot of the time nail techs are rushing trying to get to the next client. Wish you luck!! Love dip powders. 🥰

[@milicagelic2536]

@MadelineGrace I also use e-file but sometimes I destroy color of powder. I don't know what's the problem.

[@joanna9014]

you’ve just gotta find the right technician fr

[@littlewifethatcould]

@@joanna9014 Thank you for the suggestion. But I do my own nails at home. I tried dip at the salon, assuming they’d do it best. I tried a few times. My nails always came out terrible, no matter what salon I went to. I always had to fix them once I got home. So I have been doing them at home for about 6 months now, and thankfully I have perfected them so they look better than they ever did from a salon. I have been doing gel nails at home for years, so I’m sure that experience helped a bit.

[@Bronziee_Nailz]

Hmmm... as a beginner I will definitely try this! It’s seems very interesting! By the way how many times did you dip or pour the powder over your fingers?!

[@andie_stl]

This is GREAT... thank you! I'm new to dip powder and need all the help I can get! 😘

[@aimeekrieg9932]

These look amazing! I tried a kit 2 weeks ago, didnt turn out smooth, needed alot of filing. What buffer/ file did you use, how many coats of dip???

[@CandidlyCat]

Your voice is really nice to listen to. I have to turn a lot of tutorials off because their voice or the way they speak bothers me. 😂 But I keep coming back to this video when I do my nails.

You may want to do that on a darker background because you can't really see the nail tip when you file and when you work on it because it's clear

Do you have to apply a clear powder before applying the color powder?

[@mrs.z1172]

Good morning, can you do this technique with a full shape fake nail?

[@Alimaway]

Hope everyone is well. New subbie! I did dip powder with tips once. My first time ever having tips come off! Within 2 weeks, only 5 remained smh. The next nail tech I went too said they didnt do it right. I just purchased an led lamp as I plan on trying to do my own nails. I seen a video on a lady using dip powder and gel for the lamp. If its just dip powder you cannot use it correct?

[@justinechoiiii]

Alima Wilson Hi! I’ve also experienced nail techs use the lamps for curing. Maybe it speeds up the process? But a desk fan (got one from Amazon for like $5) works best for me! Make sure to face the fan away from your face so the excess powder and fumes don’t go into your lungs. I think also buffing out the natural nail and dehydrating it before putting on the tips work a bit better for me. I also like to place the tips a tinyyyyyy (I’m talkin like 1-1.5 millimeters) bit higher on the nail bed makes them feel more secure. Wish you luck!!

[@thismomlovestosave9447]

Alima Wilson I tried dip nails last week and I used a gel base coat and dipped my finger in acrylic not dip and I cured each layer and repeated and it lasted a week it would’ve lasted longer but I didn’t add tips and one of my real nails lifted underneath

[@Spookyvoids]

Girl. You're amazing. Thank you so much

[@foreverwetwo_1006]

Is a nail dehydrator the same as a primer ? Or is there a difference between those two?

[@Denisen70]

Hi, Do you have to do one nail at a time or can do one coat of dip powder on all nails and then proceed to apply a second dip powder coat to all nails? Thanks!

[@juliajohnson6562]

Can you use regular acrylic powder for this?

[@skylarweatherford5864]

Can you apply a gel polish over the dip powder? I think I want to use dip powder to create a stronger base than my natural nails and then use gel polishes for color.

Hey Miss Gabby! Just a quick question: I see you have tried several different kits from different brands. Which one do you like the best? Which one do you think is the best for beginners? I want to try dip powders, but I have NEVER dipped before lol... I just hate how thick and 'bubbly' they always look because of dipping 4x-5x... I mainly want to try them to grow my nails out a little longer.. but I want something that I only need to dip like2x to get good color pay off and add a bit of strength and protection. while avoiding that bubble-look lol. Looking forward to yours or anyone else's replies! Thanks yall. Stay safe!! ❤️️

I do love that color and I was also wondering how long they last. Can you let us know please. Thank you

[@GabbyAngelique]

Shannon McWilliams I didn’t do a wear test for these but typically dip last for 2-3 weeks! It really depends on the person, how they take care of them, and also how fast your nails grow

[@shannonmcwilliams6929]

@@GabbyAngelique thank you for that. I have one more thing I'd like to ask. I am from Michigan and when living there, I had acrylic nails on and off for 15 years and had no problems. I moved to Cali in 2006. After moving here the first time I had my nails put on was in 2015. When I had them on my real nail started lifting from my skin and my cuticles split so bad I had to get a prescription to heal them. When this happened I waited 9 months to put them back on. I went back to the same place. The same thing happened. I took them off and about 3 weeks later went somewhere new. The same thing happened at the new place. I have no idea why this all happened. A friend said she thought it might be that they use different chemicals in Cali than in Michigan. Do you know if there are acrylic products for sensitive skin or should I just give up on ever having acrylic nails? Btw, gel did the same thing to me.

[@dawnmichelle717]

@@shannonmcwilliams6929 some people are allergic to the chemicals in some of the products used to do acrylic nails. It could be that your MI salon used products which were hypoallergenic chemicals vs the CA salon which is most likely using regular acrylic ones. You may ask them if they use any hypoallergenic products there. If not check your area online, a lot of salons will advertise it. Good luck!

[@JulieeJuicee]

Shannon McWilliams I am allergic to acrylic monomer and gel polish (acrylates) and that caused a few of my nails to lift and my cuticles were really swollen and painful for a few weeks. You could have just developed an allergy. I have tried dip powder though and I’m not allergic to that.

can someone explain to me what the purpose of putting the white powder on first is?

[@clinsay]

Hi! So when you want to remove the color and you soak your nails, does the nail tip come off too? Or can you just remove color and change it with same nail tip? Just wondering if you have to put nail tips on each time until your real nails grow enough? Thanks!

[@GabbyAngelique]

hi! yes when you soak off the nails the tip will also soak off You could change the color by painting over the nails. You could also use normal nail polish over dip and change that color by using nail polish remover that doesn't have acetone, that way it doesn't soak off the nail

So I followed all steps exactly! (Very helpful by the way- thank you!) but the last few steps when you said to put the activator on & wipe off with a paper towel then wait about a minute & put your finishing gel on, I did that & my brush got hard. Any tips how to avoid that from happening again?

[@GabbyAngelique]

glad it helped! You can try letting the activator sit on your nail for about 2 minutes and then wiping it off with a lint free paper towel, or makeup sponge. Also, re-dip your top coat after each nail. Most dip kits also come with a brush cleaner so you can dip your top coat brush in there if you find it's still getting hard!

Awesome video. Only suggestion is wouldn't have mentioned was using acetone as a dehydrator because it smoothes out your nail which then defeats the purpose of roughing up the surface. Rubbing alcohol is good though.

[@GuidetteExpert]

Now I understand why mine look so messy. Its because I put the base glue for the powder to stick on to close to the cuticle :'D I taught always that nail techs went all the way near the cuticle when doing gel or powder nails but mine looks bulky when doing that compared to your nails.
