Yesterday I did my 1st gel dip. I did a Rejuvacote base and let dry 10min. I dipped instead of pour over so I did have to buff a little, but very little. I was skeptical that it would be so quick, but including the Rejuvacote drying & doing a gel base before the gel top coat it took 37min. Definitely beats the 2.5hrs it took me to dip. Thanks.

Ok so. Just so I have it right in my head. When you are doing top coat and want it to stay longer,do base coat then top. Do you wipe off tacky layer for base coat? Im so very interested in trying this but the potential gel allergy has be worried. Knowing my luck I would develop it for sure as i get the top coat for dip liquid on my fingers especially when capping. I bloody love your videos. So informative and have helped me so much with my applications
@SipAndDip Жыл бұрын
Exactly! So the gel base under the top coat is optional but a great tip for those that experience the gel top coat peeling. The steps would be 1. File /shape 2. Cleanse with rubbing alcohol 3. Apply gel base to all nails 4. Cure 60 sec (do not remove tacky layer) 5. Apply gel top coat to all nails 6. Cure 60 sec Done! 🫶🏻 Again, it’s optional but it can help with peeling 💕 I understand wholeheartedly about the fears of a gel allergy. Many times it’s due to application and user error. Which I am the first to admit, I am a DIY gal and not a professional. So I use gel sparingly just in case!

What part of the dip powder process causes the tiny itchy blisters on my fingers? Is there a way to avoid that as well?

@SipAndDip Жыл бұрын
You can absolutely mix and match liquids! So you can do your same process with the dip base, activator and gel top coat. As you said, it could be from buffing the nail too smooth. I would try using a 180 grit instead of a buffing block. Then if it still peels, then next time I would add in a layer of gel base to each of the nails (after cleansing with rubbing alcohol) and cure for 60 sec. Then do a layer of top coat and cure 60 sec. The gel base should help prevent it from peeling 💕
@ninavelez56228 ай бұрын
Hiii! Love your videos and I’ve been trying this method a couple times so far because I do get dip flu. It comes out great but the issue I notice is as my nails grow out it’s like the front edge of the gel/dip nail becomes pushed back to where the top of my natural nail is revealed and when it is, my nails underneath break. I don’t understand it because the nail grows from the nail bed not the top so something is causing the capped ends to become exposed (despite capping off the ends with base and top coat). Have you had this issue and if so, any recommendations to help it last?

Honestly, it’s hard to say! I feel like it’s so dependent on prep, having enough strength (layers), your nail chemistry, if your natural nails are brittle/peeling. Sooo many variables! I find gel peels/lifts more on me personally. However, I know others who have better luck with it! I will say though this is the longest my manicure has lasted with peel base. Normally, with dip powder liquids + peel base my manicures last 1-3 days. This has been on for almost a week 😳

Hey there, thank you so much for your very helpful videos! I have a question that I can’t find an answer to anywhere… have you tried putting clear dip powder on top of regular polish? (NOT sandwiching, NO dip underneath.) I polished and stamped my nails with a cool plaid pattern and was considering trying a coat of clear dip on top to see if it makes my polish last longer. I’m thinking of trying it on one nail just to see if it works. Please let me know if you’ve tried this and if it extends a regular nail polish manicure. (I do dip, but like to give my nails a break with regular polish, but only get maybe 4 days before chipping. Dip powder has spoiled me, but I worry about the health of my nails. Was thinking clear dip on top might extend my manicure.)
