SlickPour Dip Powder | Applying SlickPour Using Conversion Base and Top

[@triciahoyt2645]

Instead of using 1-4 step slick pour steps. Using conversion gel base & top coat seems so much faster! Ty. I am definitely going to try it.

[@lesliecook6415]

I just love you guys. I learn so much from your videos. I'm a beginner on doing my own nails and I'm very happy with the out come of my nails even in a budget. Please continue reaching and helping other to improve on a beginner level and professional level. You never to old to learn new things.

[@Lisaida]

I bought this dip powder (velvet overdrive) and it is so pretty it’s like a grape lollipop type of color super gorgeous it’s one of my go to colors ❤I must buy more of this color in bulk because I love it so much I don’t ever want to run out of it 😊

[@youngnailsinc]

It's so good! We hope you enjoyed this video on conversion base and top with slickpour.

[@Anon_E_Muss]

The conversion base and top coat is such a great idea. I previously tried dip and hated the glue, resiny fumes and messiness of dip powder. This I can get behind! So glad to try it instead!

[@c.flores9196]

Yay! First one! Started with the conversions and under the radar! Can’t wait to use my new slickpours! 💕

Yay I love this conversion base and top coat and it's everything I thought it was gonna be! So exciting 😍💅 can't wait to get them and try out some of the slick pour colors!

[@mommabig_nafofella]

I can really tell a difference between using it with gel as apposed to resin. In my opinion gel has a seamless beautiful look. Very nice, and my preference by far.

[@sanahasnain8031]

Thank you for these videos! This seems simple enough, seems easier than a gel overlay. I really want to see how it goes. I do have a few questions though: 1) what is the advantage of doing this? Is this only to add strength when you don’t want to do a gel overlay? 2) will your normal base/top work? Or does it have to be the conversion base/top? And if so, why is that, I am genuinely interested in knowing what the difference is between different base and top coats 🙂 3) can we do this with your acrylic powders? 🤭 or dipping powders from other brands? I think that’s it 😅 Sorry I know it’s a lot of questions

[@LimeLady1010]

I'm wondering the answers to all this too .... Going to try and research to look for the answers

[@molinalizbeth86]

Omg thank you so much for the video , I got like 15 colors in my mystery 📦 and didn’t have resign but I definitely have base and top coat 🙋‍♀️ so excited to try this method 🤣😂

[@jasminvelez7644]

I am so excited that now I know how to use these products! I received the conversion base and top along with several slick pour powders in one of the mystery boxes I bought from the black Friday sale and I'm going to use it today lol

[@kerrymcintosh2930]

Would you be able to use the new Ultimate Finish or Stain Resistant as the top coat instead of Conversion Top? Thanks!

[@TheRoom2Breathe]

Marvelous!

[@kelleywood4498]

So much faster and easier than using the resins... Why would anyone want to use the resin method after seeing this?

[@carnitajohnson9974]

I hate using resin with the dip method. It has prevented me from offering "dip" services but I will try this when I get my mystery box.

[@sharonmcdonald1761]

He didn't say how long he was curing each nail after slick pour. Is it 60 or 30 sec per nail? Do you HAVE to do one finger at a time?

[@tlomax2768]

[@toniesolomon]

Can u do this technique with adding nail tips on the free edge ?

[@cathywellman4859]

Beautiful color tyfs

[@kappaoie]

Are you able to do fills on nails like this, or do you remove them and do them over like most places do with dip? My salon does something similar but we use a sheer pink powder with gel color over the top, and we do fills...just wondering if it's possible to use the colored powders and still do fills to avoid the soaking off every time!!

[@youngnailsinc]

[@kayy_71]

Thank you for the video! I was wondering what were the steps to use these. One quick question: can you do this with your full coverage tips? Thank you!

[@marinunez2982]

Could this method work using the mani-q base & top coat instead of conversion ?

[@starlightangel1990]

Swipe or cleanse? Wouldn't swipe mess with it bc of it having acetone?

[@youngnailsinc]

If Swipe is used sparingly and not over-scrubbing the nail, it can be used. If you are concerned about over-using it, we would recommend ManiQ Cleanse instead.

[@kimberleyking4356]

what is the difference doing it this way vs the traditional way/ im confused as I am new nail student. thanks !!

[@youngnailsinc]

Using Slick Pour with the Conversion Gels will give you a combination of the strength of the dip powder along with the flexibility of the gel.

[@oscarduran4975]

Que hermosas manos 🥰

[@triciahoyt2645]

When you need to change slick pour color to a new color. How do you prep nail & how much of old color do u remove?

[@youngnailsinc]

If you are using conversion with slickpour, you can file down to the base gel layer and then prep from there. The product still on the nail will help to strengthen it.

[@carnitajohnson8128]

What is the removal and reapplying process like? Are you able to do a fill or is it all soaked off. How long is the soak off process? Thanks!

[@nailedbyed]

I prefer this method over using any resins....

[@l1quidbeatz46]

I ordered conversion base to use with slickpour. In the excitement of the Black Friday sale of forgot to add conversion top to my cart. I have ultimate finish and gloss topcoat, could I top slickpour with one of those??? Thank you

[@youngnailsinc]

You can use either of those

[@thearb2003]

when using glitter would you recommend a layer of clear powder as your top layer so one doesnt file into glitter?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, when you are using glitters, it's best to cap them with clear (Under the Radar) so you don't file out the color or design. If you don't need to file the nails though, you wouldn't need to cap in clear.

[@eat.sleep.nails_repeat]

I noticed you don't really tip the finger to get the powder in the sides but you still get product covering from sidewall to sidewall.

[@jocelynisom2500]

I have always hated dip but I think I would like to try this!Can I use any color of acrylic powder or do I need to use the slick pour?

[@youngnailsinc]

We don't recommend using acrylic powder because it tends to look splotchy. You can use any of our slickpours though.

[@jocelynisom2500]

@@youngnailsinc thank you!

[@chelseab364]

Can you use ultimate finish instead of conversion top? If so, should I protein bond before ultimate?

[@youngnailsinc]

Just make sure to file the surface of your Slick Pour application with a 150 grit file to smooth/shape, dust off and apply a coat of Protein Bond. Then you can go right to your gel polish color, no base coat needed.

[@carnitajohnson9974]

Will you please demonstrate a fill in service using this technique?

[@jaynecristalpagan2509]

So I have tried this method exactly how you have done it... Major problem is it does not last long. A client was interested in slickpour and about 2 weeks in she said it came right off. This was done on her natural nails. What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

[@samanthaj7445]

Should I skip protein bond on natural nail if id rather soak off?

[@jn4030]

What’s stronger - Slickpour with resin or with conversion gel system?

[@thenailtechfiles7935]

What are the ingredients of the conversion base and too? Dip powder chemicals give me dip flu. It would be great if these don’t have same chemicals. Then I can do dip powders again

[@youngnailsinc]

All of our products are FDA approved for safe use when used according to the proper procedures. As with any chemical, over exposure or "flu" symptoms can result from excess contact with the skin/soft tissue or not using the products in a properly ventilated work space. For all SDS, you can email [e-mail] and she will help you.

[@stephanieb.457]

I did these steps exactly as presented and mine literally peeled off the next day. What did I do wrong? Can you tell me the cure times for each layer? Maybe layers too thick? I don’t know. Will give it a try again. Hope it goes better this time as I like this method..

[@youngnailsinc]

How are you prepping the natural nails? Are you using our conversion base and top coat?

[@stephanieb.457]

@@youngnailsinc yes. I did cuticles, arbor band, swipe and protein bond. Then base, cure, base, powder, cure etc as Greg laid out the steps.

[@youngnailsinc]

What color of powder were you using? If it was a dark color, it's possible you applied it too thick and it wasn't able to fully cure. Make sure you aren't applying the Base too thick or applying too much powder into it. It should be thin layers.

[@stephanieb.457]

@@youngnailsinc It was Claw to Spike. Might have just been layers were too thick. Will try this method again, hopefully will better luck!

[@addie3232]

Does it have to be the conversion gel used with the slickpour or can I use any gel?

[@KelciRapp-g7z]

How strong would you say these are?

[@youngnailsinc]

Slickpour with conversion is a bit more flexible than using slickpour with resin. I would say it's stronger than gel polish on the natural nails though.

[@britt1722]

Hello, I have a question on the difference between build powder and clear dip powder?

[@youngnailsinc]

The difference between a traditional acrylic powder and a dip powder is mainly the texture. Dip powers tend to be a finer grain than a traditional powder so you get a more consistent color/pigment mix.

[@katiebell8872]

Can you pinch with dip powders? Or colored acrylic in general?

[@NailsbyBunnyBear]

I’m shocked this cured it being such a dark color!!!! What grit buffer file did he use? I saw the file was 150 but I didn’t catch what the buffer one was?

[@youngnailsinc]

It was a 180 sponge buffer.

[@NailsbyBunnyBear]

@@youngnailsinc thank you.

[@NailsbyBunnyBear]

Why immediately dump the powder on the gel layer? Just curious

[@youngnailsinc]

That is how the powder is absorbed into the gel. Here is another way of using our slickpours with conversion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIGtmoyFidtooJI

[@Pocketsnuggies]

If you’re using glitter, do you encapsulate with base before filing?!? Thx.

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, we would recommend applying two coats of Conversion Base over your glitter application so you don't file off the glitter. Also, since the Conversion is a thin gel product, you don't have to file if your surface is already smooth, you can just go into your top coat after sealing with base.

[@BrokenArrow38]

So it's a 2 in 1 topcoat and base? I can't afford name brands and wanted to try a poor girl version but didn't know what to look for. I have dip powders I was given but they don't have any of the cure solotion or base coat. And SWIPE is like a 90%alcohol?

[@youngnailsinc]

We have a conversion base coat and separate conversion top coat. Swipe is an alcohol and acetone based product formulated to cleanse the nail perfectly for product. Here is a video about Swipe & how to use it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oonbo2OLYtB7oa8

[@lizmisner1100]

Can I use an orange mini buffer for this?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can.

[@daynax.3135]

I used the slick pour and her nails started chipping at the edge what can I do

[@youngnailsinc]

Most of the time, chipping is a result of not prepping the nail properly. Make sure you are using a 150 grit file or the medium arbor band on your efile. If you use a buffer or a file that's too fine, it won't leave enough texture for the product to adhere to. Also, if you are using the traditional resin system, make sure you are not using Protein Bond, but if you are using Conversion gels, you do want to use it.

[@ashlynnelefrancois8321]

Do you have a primer for extreme oily nail beds that can be used for this and acrylics? What do you recommend for the common lifters?

[@youngnailsinc]

We use our protein bind for everyone. 2 coats for heavy lifters.

[@kthazel2710]

Just ran across this video - can I use conversion base/top w acrylic powders and build out extensions ?

[@youngnailsinc]

No, conversion is not for extending the nails as it is a soft gel. Also, using acrylic powder with conversion can turn out splotchy as it is not as fine as slickpour.

[@GlitzNGlamNailz]

Can you use acrylic powder?

[@youngnailsinc]

We don't recommend it because it isn't as fine as dip powder and it can end up looking grainy.

[@solmendez2573]

Hi Greg I just want to see a fill with conversion or do I have to remove the whole thing even when the customer wants the same color?

[@jodiewagner9226]

[@samanthaj7445]

[@MariaMartinez-lu8fh]

Can this be used on top of gel extensions?

[@mary-janem1535]

Question - do I have to use conversion top or can I use a another top coat that I happen to have on hand AND to clean a dispersion layer (conversion top) can I use ManiQ instead of swipe?

[@youngnailsinc]

if you are using the conversion technique in this video you need to use conversion base and top for it to work properly. If you were using conversion top coat over gel then maniQ cleanser would be fine

[@KimberlyArwen]

Any advice for keeping an extension from getting too thick when using this process for slickpour on top?

[@youngnailsinc]

Using Slick Pour over an enhancement is not necessary, unless you are using it for color. If this is the case, you would need to create the enhancement slightly thinner than normal to give room for the product on top.

[@Wildly_unique1024]

Get a q tip put acetone on it and rub it on the tip and nail is what I’ve seen ppl do. Nails don’t come out bulky .

[@rachelsmith2689]

Are the nails as hard as traditional dip application using the conversion gel?

[@youngnailsinc]

No, with conversion the nails are a little more flexible.

Can u soak off instead of rebalance?

[@lisacarruthers9649]

Can you do this with flex as well?

[@youngnailsinc]

The technique would work with any thin gel (like Flex) but we recommend using the Conversion Gel since it is more flexible to move with the natural nail.

[@lisacarruthers9649]

@@youngnailsinc Thank you! I was asking because according to your SDS for flex, it doesn't contain TPO so I can use it (allergic). I can't find a SDS for the caption. Please could you insert one on the website?

[@peculiarone339]

How would you remove this? If an e file isn't an option, would you soak in 100% acetone and hand file?

[@youngnailsinc]

If you are not using an efile, you can soak the product off with acetone. We would recommend filing the top coat off with a 150 grit file to make the nail more porous and easier to soak off. Also, when you are doing your initial application, make sure to only apply Protein Bond to the free edge, not the whole nail, to make soaking easier.

[@veronicah1451]

Do you buff the nail if is glitter too?

[@youngnailsinc]

When using a glitter powder, you can apply one more coat of Conversion Base over it so it encapsulates the glitter a little more, then buff as needed.

[@SuperDebbie1012]

I noticed you don’t use activator, is there a reason for that?

[@youngnailsinc]

With this method you do not need an activator as the slickpour dip powder is absorbed into the powder.

[@rociomendoza7539]

How would you charge this service as?

You could offer it as an “enhanced gel manicure” since you are using both products. Start with your gel manicure price & then you can add $10-$20 for the additional service.
