My FAVORITE Dip Powders And The Red Flags You Need To Know!

[@SipAndDip]

What are YOUR favorite dip companies?! 👀

[@oliviasmith244]

I love Revel and Maniboss! Haven’t been able to try any others yet!

[@suziedavids4369]

I recently tried Rossi and really like them. I just started a couple of months ago and found you... happy I did!

[@SipAndDip]

@@oliviasmith244 both incredible options! 🙌🏼

[@SipAndDip]

@@suziedavids4369 so happy to have you here! 💕🫶🏻 we’ve got an awesome little dip community!

[@_KLP_K]

Kiara Sky- Do you like them?

[@Mday2107]

I have been SCOURING through KZbin trying to find videos like this. Thank you for making one!!!

[@SipAndDip]

So happy I could help! 🥰🫶🏻

[@kateb8079]

Yes thankyou! I’m about to dive into the dip world and the information is a lot to wade through! Hard to know what’s legit and what’s just paid/ supplied/scripted content 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m super rough in my nails too so I’m wanting to find something that is robust wearing. Thanks for the options! I’ll check a few out and see how it goes. Is it generally ok to mix and match the liquid bottles? Like, if I buy a few powders from different brands but just one liquid set?

[@Sn0wwh173]

Based in Australia, I love A(dip)tion. All women owned, small business. Phenomenal quality. Hundreds of colours (including glitters, glows, colour changing etc). They do a mystery mani every month where you get 3 small jars of surprise powders (that aren't on the store). They also put a lot back into the community and support two charities. Also their Facebook community is really welcoming.

[@SipAndDip]

Thank you SO much for sharing an Australian option 🙌🏼 I am sure this will be really helpful for others too 💕

[@CarolRyan-g1p]

I used OPI for the first time today. I was amazed how beautifully it covered in the first dip. Definitely will be purchasing more OPI. Revel is my original dips since I just started dipping 2 months ago. I love your videos too. I have learned so much from you Chelsea. Thanks

[@SipAndDip]

OPI really is such an incredible quality! I’m SO happy to hear you gave them a try 🙌🏼💕 thank you for the support and kind feedback!

[@ginarohal1586]

My favorite is Revel! I love all the options and selections. The coverage is good with two dips, the shimmers and glitters are gorgeous… plus Revel always has a great sale! Their customer service is second to none. These are just a small number of things that mean so much to me!

[@SipAndDip]

Yes yes yessss to all of this!! I totally agree! 🫶🏻💕

[@StellaMarisDips]

I’m LOVING Double Dipp’d and Dipology! DD’s topcoat has top-tier shine and both company’s powders apply perfectly!

[@SipAndDip]

I haven’t tried either of these yet! *adds to list 🤣💕 I loooove that dipology focuses so much on natural nail health 🙌🏼 I follow her on IG and love it!

[@ashley5415]

I started with Beetles and was constantly noticing cracking. Switched to Revel and it was such a difference! Sticking with Revel and their sales. 🤪

[@SipAndDip]

Oh wow!! I’m so glad you tried another brand though and found one that works better 🙌🏼

[@LuluMagoo74]

Revel and OPI are my favorites! Thank you for reviewing OPI a few months ago, you got me hooked!

[@SipAndDip]

OPI really is just “that” company for me 😮‍💨🤣 I hope one day they’ll dabble in foils/chunky glitters but I’m not holding my breath. I imagine they keep it super generic since the salons are their target audience. I need to grab some more solids from them 😆

[@kaitlynbrubaker6608]

Thanks for another helpful video! Would love an updated video on your fav dip liquids😛🤞🏼

[@SipAndDip]

It’s definitely on my to do list now after seeing so many requests! 🫶🏻 someone also requested a “red flags” for it as well 💕

[@carlakinsman3894]

My favorite is Revel, 2nd favorite is Igel. I love their powder and the price when they have the 60% off during the pandemic. I took a break from dip powder last year and now i am ready to get back again 🙂

[@SipAndDip]

I actually haven’t tried Igel either!! But those 60% off sales were crazyyyyy amazing!!

[@marybond7084]

I love Revel! The liquids rock! I glue on my full cover tops on with the base coat. I stick gems and charms on with it too. Great stuff!

[@samyrazeitzmann6807]

Kiara Sky is my favorite. I am going to try OPI cause their products are TOP! Will be using your code :) Thank you

[@mcgee3manis]

My #1 company that made me go WOW this stuff is amazing and has consistently been amazing is Mama makes her own dips. My #2 for unique, high quality powders is Confidips. Thanks for making this video, Chelsea! 🤗

[@SipAndDip]

So many of y’all have suggested mama makes her own dips! Sounds like she knows what she’s doing 🙌🏼💕 I love hearing about all of these awesome small shops!

[@namevale8835]

I have been doing my own nails since covid. I started with Color Street, then cheaper versions like Dashing Diva and Lily & Fox. About 1 year ago I started to try nail stamping and at the same time gel polishes. Well my gel polish journey was short lived, I can NOT get that stuff off MY NAILS! So a few months ago decided to try polygel...ugh...even more short lived than gels! I finally started dip about a month ago. I think dip powder is it, the thing I have been searching for! I really like it! I bought the KISS brand kit from Walmart with the separate 4 color set and honestly it was the perfect jumping off point for me because I have spent SO MUCH MONEY on the other things I have tried, so I didn't want to spend heavily to get started with dip powder. I was pleased with how easy it was to use, and my first try looked really good. I actually got compliments! Now I'm obsessed and I am ready to invest a bit more into a more quality dip system. I do recommend KISS to get you started on your dip powder nail journey Now I found this lovely KZbin channel @SipandDip, thank you for sharing with us. I was looking into NailBoo, but it is super expensive, and I have decided to try the Reval dip powder system. I only do my own nails, and the smaller jars seem like a good idea, plus it is cheaper than NailBoo. Anyone try the Kiara Sky dip powders?

[@awildavazquez1601]

I wanna test the waters for the first time, so I’m going with the budget friendly options!! Thanks for so many great videos!!!❤

[@SipAndDip]

You are so welcome! I’m here if you need any help 🫶🏻💕

[@munkee123]

I ordered too many things for the first time from Color my world yesterday, including Chelsea milky pink. Thank you for all the information and great techniques you provide

[@angelicabenitez3853]

Agreed re: ease of REVEL, except for their liquids! Their liquids constantly glue close for me, I much prefer CMW liquids. As you mentioned Amber puts a lot of heart into her products and her liquids are a nice, flowy and thin AND they don't dry too fast, letting me work on those cuticles hehe. Love VIVID GLAM for chunkies too!

[@SipAndDip]

I totally understand what you mean! It’s so funny how we all like to mix and match different products all from different companies 😆 I’m the saaame way!

[@latriciacason7670]

I started with NailBoo but haven’t used them in a while. Then I discovered Double Dip but sadly they are no longer in business. Now my go to’s are ManiBoss, Secret Sisters and West Coast Dips. I’m open to try others though. 😊

[@SipAndDip]

All solid small business options!! 🙌🏼💕

[@brendaschafer956]

Thank you so much, always watch your videos for refresher courses and new reviews. I love OPI the best so far. Tried Kiara Sky but I'm wondering if maybe it's my liquid as it marbled and that wasn't the effect I was going through, Have you tried those yet, would love a review on KS! Keep teaching PLEASE!!!

[@tracyw.7697]

Has anyone tried Sassy Saints? If so, would you recommend them, or another brand? Many thanks 😊

[@angelicajacobs584]

I got nailboo to start. It was because of price. The others to ship to canada...either didnt ship or toooo expensive. I heard of westcoast dip in canada so ill try them next !

[@TwistedTeaOne34]

I’m on my second DIY mani from a kit you don’t mention here. But, I think I’m hooked and now want to purchase quality products, so thank you! I appreciate your recommendations and explanation of why! Do you have similar reviews for liquids? I’m not sure if their quality can vary as much.

[@shanelle1743]

I tried Azura from Amazon (horrible). I stopped being cheap and got Kiara Sky. Best decision. Im going to try 2 colors from Revel based on her recommendations.

[@SipAndDip]

Can’t wait to hear what you think of revel 🫶🏻 they’re also available on Amazon if you’re wanting free shipping

[@amymarxer6559]

Great vid, Chels! Thanks for all the info! I think I have too many favorites to name. 🧐

[@SipAndDip]

🤣😆🤣 RIGHT?! It only took me 3 years to finally make this vid 🫣 it’s SO hard to narrow them down!! I still have at least 5 other small shops that I wanted to name

[@freedomreese9668]

How do you feel about fairy glamour?

[@SipAndDip]

I really like her collection themes and names, all super cute! I feel she has lotssss of unique glitters too. I’ve only tried like maaaybe 3-5 solid shades so I don’t feel I have a good gauge on them but the ones I did use, were a nice quality! I think her chunky glitters are on the sheer side. So nice as toppers but I personally prefer more of a solid color base and not as much clear. Again, personal preference. I wouldn’t say they’re necessarily “beginner friendly” but not many chunky glitters are 😆

[@munkee123]

Great tips. Would you maybe do a list of what to look for or red flags for the liquids for the dips?

[@SipAndDip]

I can definitely make a video for liquids as well and red flags! Thank you for the suggestion! 💕

[@munkee123]

@@SipAndDip thank you. Appreciate the time you take on your work!

[@tanishalane2581]

I love Revel for basic colors and I love sub bags for specialty dips and coordinating colors because I get overwhelmed with all the colors available and sometimes I want the thinking done for me lol. I currently love Nails Truly Co dip powder sub bag because it also comes with coordinating water decals which I love and it's not expensive at all. They always have super cute themes each month. I also love small businesses because they will have unique flaky or glitter dips that I can't get anywhere else and usually they will offer a sample size or small size so I can try it and I won't have it for years and years, but if I love a certain one I can order more of it. I love watching videos of different people who use dip powder because I can get product info or ideas :)

Revel is what I own the most followed by Sparkle & Co. love both equally for Large companies. Sparkle beats on quality IMO. So many small business gems CN Designer, Ritzy Dips, CCW (now 915) & Marullo. Ritzy is a personal favorite but I’m like you Marullo has blown me away.

[@larissao7614]

New to dipping powder. I just used Azure today and love it. I watched one of your videos trying to determine the ones to less cause dip flu which i got long time ago using a drug store brand but back then didn't know that's what it was. I remember immediately I got sick. I used a mask and made sure to be in a well ventilated area. Not bad, I didn't react however that Activator reminds me of moth balls🤨 i have a question can other's or animals in the home get dip flu? That's probably a silly question but🤔Revel is my next brand to try!

[@SipAndDip]

Hiii! Welcome to our dip powder community! So sorry to hear you had dip flu in the past 🥺🫶🏻 honestly… that is a great question about animals that I hadn’t thought of 🧐 I’m not sure on that! However, my husband used to have a sensitivity to it. It would make him really congested and sneeze a lot. So thankfully now I work downstairs and away from him. Whenever I have him do my nails for videos I also make sure he uses odorless options 🫶🏻

Azure beauty was awful imo. Everything was super tiny. The dip jars were so small and full that I could not dip my finger without hitting the bottom, spilling product, AND not even fully covering the nail. I don't even have long nails! I ended up having to pour the entire tiny jar over each finger then funnel back into the jar each time. Then to top off my bad experience, the activator did not work. It took forever for the glue to harden and I ended up just taking everything off after fighting to do one hand. I am not even a beginner with dip, I just wanted the "jelly" dip powder shades. But I will have to look elsewhere.
