How To: Make Your Own Dip Powder!

[@spop4471]

Love this! Getting started has been crazy expensive, of course part of it is that I need to have tons of options and can't just start small, but this is a great idea. I bet you can add foil flakes, glitter, etc. I can't wait to try. As always, great vid and thank you for sharing!

[@melissamorales3635]

This is awesome. It’s so fun to make your own. I’ve been making mine for 2 years now. They actually wear better than dips I’ve bought from dip companies. Meaning I hardly ever have any breaks or lifting.

[@Shashonie-dh1pr]

What powder do you use as your base?

[@Andrea-ur9pr]

Ready for the Marla Kris Dips Collection! Impeccable timing with this fun yet practical DIY. Love all your content! The kiddos have enjoyed the extra uploads too.

[@OmneyasWISH]

I used to make soap and have a bunch of micas and bought some more from the company I use to use a lot for this very purpose. I made 6 small containers to start. I tested them with monomer and they worked and I didn't use a magic bullet. I just shook it really well and also added some fine shimmer. I am gonna do some dips nails today too. I love greens and blues. They are my fav shades.

[@Nichol0824]

I used to make soap too and have tons of mica too, I’ve made some too just shaking it like crazy. So simple to diy dips.

[@OmneyasWISH]

@@Nichol0824 I just recently hauled two grab bags from nurture soap on my channel. haven't really shown the dips as I only have a few. Waiting on more acrylic now, but it was so easy

[@xXxMoondustedxXx]

I know I'm late to the party but that is gorgeous! I just started dipping my nails about 6 weeks ago & I'm addicted (and have dropped so much money lol). This is definitely a game changer for me!

[@KimLarae366]

Nice! There is a Facebook group on how to make your own dip powders. The glitters those ladies make are beautiful.

[@juleejayne]

Hi whats the name of fb group for this?

[@shannonevans618]

Well, I now have my new wish list for nail stuff! Love this color and would absolutely love for you to mix up more of your own colors. Awesome video! And definitely yes to more videos with Brian. 😎

[@KurosakiLys]

I have been dipping at home for an year and I just also figured this out!! and your toturial helped a lot with questions I had, so thank you very much!!

[@cindyrobinson2618]

They might not have turned out shimmery because of the grinding. I use a lot of micas for soap making and cosmetics and have heard that micas should not be grinder with machine or mortar and pestle because it could break down the pearlescent effect of the mica. Maybe just grind the acrylic powders then add the mica? Just a thought. Can dip powders be used instead of acrylic powders?

[@susans.5664]

OMG!!!! A custom set of dips from you would be incredible!! Yes!!

[@Rachphi2]

I have been loving your KZbin videos on dip nails, especially this one on making your own dip powder. Love the colors and variety.

[@ThePolishQueen]

What a pretty color you made! Thanks for sharing 💜✨

[@kathyfowler1991]

Love it this is amazing i made a pink the other day that i am about to use this week end

[@tmoni7839]

You just saved me money 💰 yessssss 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I have mica powder and I am ready for nail diy designs.

[@kateb560]

Great video! I just started doing dip nails and was wondering if I could make my own dip powder. So I did a YT search and found this awesome video. I just ordered the pigments, some glitters, and white and clear powders. I can’t wait to see what I can make with them. I never did my nails much because they never lasted very long since I’m hard on them but dip nails are amazing! I’m looking forward to checking out your other videos. Thank you!

[@pattipuglia6687]

Wow....love the color! This looks super easy and I have ao many mica powder left over from when I redid my kitchen counters! Can't wait to try this!! Thank you!!

I love making my own dip powders. I use a mortar and pestle and have even used eyeshadows that don’t work for me to make them. Definitely make your own collection!

[@vgarber83]

How do you use eye shadow? I have a ton of it and would love to put it to a good use.

[@pamelafoster3585]

@@vgarber83 I used a cuticle pusher to dig them out of the pan and used a mortar and pestle to grind them up really fine. Then you can use them as pigments to add to clear or other dips.

[@vgarber83]

What is mortar and pestle? Sorry super new to this

[@vgarber83]

Just googled it. :) Did you use that instead of the blender?

[@genahebert4]

Hi! Thank you for your videos! I’m new to doing my own dip nails, and have thought about making my own color..but can u use acrylic powder for dip powder? I have seen pretty “acrylic powder “, on Amazon, and asked if I could use it for a dip powder and it was a hard no? Lol..so I’m confused..

[@tasha-marielynch3099]

Just made myself some pearl white, super pigmented from what I can tell, because I kept adding Mica until my container was full...6oz container with 2oz clear, 30g translucent white, and the rest pearl white Mica... going to test it Saturday I think, or Monday... depends on when I can get to my salon during my weekend.

[@tasha-marielynch3099]

So the ladies at the salon I go to say that my current pearl white dip is a bit thick, so I'll thin it out with some more clear and white dip powders and then it should be perfect. Looks beautiful right now though!

[@nyreepieck2264]

I feel like I learn more every time I watch your videos!! Thank you so much!! I think a custom Marla Kris dip color giveaway would be Ahh-MAZING!!!! I'm blown away by how easy this looked to mix your own. I'd have such a hard time picking a shade..lol. Have you experimented with Chrome and dip? I LOVE wearing chrome on my toes all summer long. I get a ton of compliments and the gel color on my toes stays really nice. If I do gel on my fingers (car show, motorcycle ride..lol) I have to do sculpting gel underneath and that LED light HURTS on thin nails. Can I do a powder dip, with a gel top coat, and then chrome? If so, what do you recommend for the top coat so that the chrome looks right and the gel top coat?

[@MarlaKris]

Nyree Pieck yes ma’am I love chrome! It’s so tricky tho bc it definitely accentuates any tiny imperfections in the nail so it usually drives me nuts 🤣 but heck yeah - you can use it with dip! So your usual dip application, apply gel no wipe top coat and cure, rub on the chrome, apply top coat again and cure and you’re done!! I love the nail addict LA no wipe and also the model ones no wipe. Both awesome. Don’t use the modelones over white tho.. it yellows.

[@cobaltclam]

What fun! You could keep changing the ratio and get a fun gradient of a single hue across your nails.

[@MarlaKris]

cobaltclam yasssss! Exactly!!

[@idavasquezgonzalez6336]

Hi Marla, great job! That color really came out very pretty. Doing a line as a give away? I say 2 thumbs up 👍👍 You have a way of making all this look super easy. Once I get started (still waiting on my starter kit), I hope I have that knack for it like you do. Thank you for sharing!
