Well, after watching this I tried it myself. Used light green dip powder and a greenish blue glitter. Came out somewhat okay. I think the green was too dark. Kinda covered the glitter, but def will try again. Thanks for video.

[@MarlaKris]

Yeah they key seems to be a lighter glitter. You got this!! ❤️

[@MarlaKris]

Did ya do it????

[@cc51cemonuk96]

Hey Marla, I just saw a peekaboo video on KZbin where she did the color on the nails first and then put the glitter at the bottom. I don’t think I’m gonna try that way but I must say I think your way is much better. 😉

[@MarlaKris]

Sounds like a glitter ombré type design! Those are really pretty too! 💞

[@cc51cemonuk96]

@@MarlaKris it’s actually listed as a peekaboo. It was very pretty. Nice blue. I’m going to try your way in a couple weeks before my next cruise. :)

Lol omg I so thought the same thing this morning 🤣😂

[@LASartor]

Can you do this with builder gel or is it too heavy? I struggle with BG anyway, so thick, but I want to use basically as my color (in general).

[@MarlaKris]

In theory, yes! It’ll depend on the color

[@laurensawyer1380]

Ace makes a pear cider. That is amazing. I don’t know if that’s the one that you were talking about. By the way I also love this look definitely gonna do it with my reveal dip powders soon! ❤

Haven’t heard of that!! I’ll be on the look it tho! Thank you! 💞

I love H&M for my kiddos. Such cute clothes at an affordable price. I have found things for me too.

[@KendraTrueCrimeGoth]

I'm playing catch up. I tried to quit smoking using the regular vape, but it wasn't delivering enough nicotine nor was it enough like a cig. Then I found out they came out with vape liquids called Nic Salts. Smaller vape to carry around and it delivers more nicotine plus is a throat drag, like smoking a cig. I am happy to report I'm cig free for 8 months now. I highly recommend this. Any vape shop can help anyone trying to quit figure out which is best for them. My fav Nic vape flavor is Strawberries and Cream. :D Lovin your channel. We have very similar nail shape.....long nail beds. Lol

This is outstanding!!! So glad you found something that works for you! Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤️❤️

[@dominion1999]

Hi Marla. One question: I tried Dip Gel for the first time. I applied 3 coats of Dip gel color, then the hardener, then the top gel. I usually do lots of cleaning chores on a daily basis, and my nails began starting to fall. I’m I missing the transparent dip in order to prevent this? I find that dip gel is not water friendly. Let me know what I can do. Thanks love your videos

[@MarlaKris]

Hey love! So longevity is usually based on your prep process. Walk me through how you’re prepping your nails before dip

[@sharicool9870]

LOVE this... been wanting to try so watched your video just now & going for it...but I'm doing pink Thanks always for your awesome video's :)

[@MarlaKris]

Do you get any chipping? Less filing sounds awesome but if it’s too thin mine tend to chip.

[@SandeepKaur-ln3in]

Hi, can anyone tell me how long these nails last for you. Thank you

[@MarlaKris]

Longevity completely depends on your prep and the state of your natural nails. They can last up to 3 weeks!

[@norasalinas591]

Hi Marla we can use our base gel on dips as well or is there a special gel just for that. And about the lamp i have a up led lamp does a led work the same?

[@MarlaKris]

You can use any gel base! Yep, same lamp but I like to double the cure time to ensure the light has time to pass through the dip - especially if they’re super opaque or dark 💕

[@Scarlette150]

Im trying this next!

[@maryschiffler5592]

What's the best way to apply the powder

[@MarlaKris]

Hi Marla! I have been wanting to learn this!!!

[@MarlaKris]

Hey sweets!! Hope this was helpful for you! ❤️

[@ginad2827]

I hope I'm not too late to ask, but do you think you could do the peekaboo with gel polish?

[@MarlaKris]

Yeah absolutely!! 💞

[@VillyT]

Hi Marla! Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday. Can I ask you something about filing/shaping? Not sure how but I seem to be taking away too much product from the edge of my nails when I shape/file and then have micro breaks. How do you keep your free edge both secure with the acrylic and not bulky? I use a 150 grit for shaping (I hand file, my e-file died on me) and then a buffing block to smooth everything out.

[@MarlaKris]

Hey sweets! That’s a great question. How many dips are you doing? Also, the r pressure you apply when filing makes a huge difference. If you’re a little heavy handed when filing, try a 180 grit file instead!

[@VillyT]

@@MarlaKrisI do 3-4 dips in total. A clear base on the bottom half of my nails for side length strength, 1 or 2 full dips of my color (depending on color opacity) and one more clear. Is that too many dips? I have an 180 grit, will try it next time! I follow your filing routine but maybe I am too heavy handed?

[@MarlaKris]

@@VillyT is there a reason you’re doing so many dips? Maybe instead of the half nail dip, try a thin stripe down the center of the nail from halfway down. That may decrease bulk a little and cut down on the amount of filing you need done ❤️

[@VillyT]

@@MarlaKris I used to do the 2,5 dips only but then most videos I see instruct on clear cupping so I added that. OK, I'll try the stripe instead of the half dip as well

[@jeanniecawley1686]

Grapefruit beir and pomagranate beir so good german brand

[@Makeuploveculture]

im a new watcher and I'm wondering what you mean by peelies? Do you actualy peel them off when you want to remove them?or is it still soak off? or do you just do it a certain way to quickly remove them because you do them often for videos? I'm trying to learn your technique

[@MarlaKris]

Hey sweets! So because I do my nails so frequently, I use a peel off base coat under my manis. They pop right off! But peel base isn’t meant for long wear. I usually get a couple days out of a mani.

[@Makeuploveculture]

@@MarlaKris ohhh I see! I like watching your videos because you do the short nails. Normally I do have extensions on but not right now. I put builder gel on and then base gel and then gel polish. I was pretty happy with them but I did still get lift up which then makes me pick at them. So next time I will use your idea to put the primer on anyway. And next time maybe I will give dips another try. I have the brand from Sally’s and I was not impressed.

[@MarlaKris]

@@Makeuploveculture if/when you’re ready to give dip another shot, send me and email or a DM (all in the description box of every video) and we’ll chat about products. I’ll make sure you get the good stuff!
