Saving Money - DIY Dipped Nails

[@MamaRomm]

Yes!!! I’ve been doing dip on my nails for about a year now and it’s sooooooo worth it! So much cheaper, a trip at the salon is 50$ and each jar is 10-15$ on amazon and can get 24 manicures from one color. That’s 2 years of nails from one jar.... Can’t beat it :)

[@deederrs]

Just a FYI, the top coat can harden from that seal protect. That’s why it’s super important to clean off the top of your nails with that paper towel or lint free wipe before you paint on the top coat. Also you need to clean off the bristles of your brush before you put it back in the bottle. You can just use a paper towel and some alcohol or acetone. But wipe off your brush really well between each nail And before closing up the bottle. It seems tedious but TRUST me in the long run it’ll make it worth while. Thanks for making this vid ❤️🥰😘

[@viceads18]

deederrs I’m about to start this process - which bristles do you wipe off between uses?

[@amberlindberg3435]

They look great! Thanks for sharing! P.S. put a hand towel on your work surface, then you can just pick it up and shake it off outside or in the sink and voila, less mess for you to wipe up.

[@amandahollingsworth4505]

One of the best videos I've seen on KZbin yet! Straight to the point and you were thorough. Love this. Will absolutely be trying it out!

[@audreyortiz7671]

Yessss finally someone who budgets and does your own nails!!! I love doing my own I personally use Peppi Gel (an at home dip system) Owned by 2 amazing women ! Starter kits are cheaper I love it

[@catebobate1188]

I also started dipping with this kit and I’ve been doing my own nails for the past 8 months. Saved so much money!! Time-saving tip: if you use your e-file to take off the top layer of the nail (the top coat), and THEN soak your nails in warm acetone, it’ll take muuuuuch less time for the powder to break down. I also will throw in a textured cotton round/square in the acetone to rub my nails against while I’m soaking, which further helps the process along 👍🏼

[@Iheartpie1234]

Caitlin Balladares how do you warm up acetone?

[@Motti88]

Thank you so much for this !!! I’ve been wanting to keep my nails done for a while but the salon costs to get them done and filled add up quickly !! This is going to be a life saver !!! And thanks for all of your budgeting videos love them all !!

[@HowDebbieSaves]

I love how you're saving money and doing your own nails. I love budgeting channels. I started my own channel recently and I hope that it grows and is as successful as yours. Great job! Can't wait to see your next video.

[@BoldBudgeting]

Just subscribed to you! I started one too if you want to check it out :) I love the budgeting community!

[@karencarter3312]

My cat was watching when you were using the nail file. I think he liked the sound.

[@nicolethomas6992]

This video was sooo good! Thank you for taking this process slow and making it look so easy! Can’t wait to get my kit.

[@heathermathews3050]

Love this. Hot tip... I do a gel top coat for a more salon finish.

[@smandamakesitwork]

This is the most complete and helpful video using Kiara Sky that I've seen. Thank you for not editing out the whole process. I like that you sped up the video so we could see you do everything. Great video and thank you!

[@BoldBudgeting]

I started doing gel nails at home because of you and now I can wait to find try to the dip powder method! Thank you for sharing all of these great tips :)

[@glosellefenster3942]

BEST DIY nail dip at home vid!!! I’ve been looking at many vids the last few weeks during lockdown. Very thorough!! I ordered OPI nail dip system and can’t wait to get started! ❤️❤️❤️

[@nicolearguin8245]

Thanks for sharing. I have been getting my nails dip powdered on and off at a salon for awhile. Yesterday my daughter and I attempted to do the Makartt Polygel. It was much better for her than for myself. I bit the bullet and purchased dip powder off of Amazon today! I hope the dip powder goes better than the polygel. I LOVE Kiara Sky. My favorite is Spellbound at the moment.

[@yahairacasimiro2318]

I use this kit too and have done nails with it over 10 x. Love it. I started with the cheap drill felt like it took for ever. Got a melodie Susie drill for $50 on Amazon it is totally amazing.

[@gingermacphee7805]

I love my kit thanks so much for a great video and i love doing my nails now

[@Motti88]

Just did this the first time recommended by you and following your tutorial!!! Love ethe way it turned out not perfect of course because it’s my first time doing them 😂 but I’m sure will get even better with time ! Thank u so much ☺️

[@torihodge8923]

Can you do a video on what you do when you’re doing a fill in after your nails have grown out? Do you just soak them and then use the electric file to get the original dip off??

[@livingtheaz_life2029]

Kiara sky is best out there out the of ones I have tried. I have done 3 sets to cover the cost of the kit already

[@LaurenCobello]

I just started doing my own as well. I use the KISS kit from Walmart. It was only $20 and so far I've done my nails 8 times and I still have half the powder left! SO much cheaper!

[@LaurenCobello]

@@latonyastreeter1401 Around 4-5 days. But only because they start to pull a little bit away from my bottom nail and that bothers me. Would probably last longer if I wasn't so OCD.

[@c.nicole.n]

Thank you! Great video on how to save money on your nails. 🙌🏾👍🏾

[@teresa28ist]

I love it thank you. I been wanting to get my nails done but just didnt want to spend the money st the nail shop

[@jessicacavazos6778]

Super awesome vid! I’m all about doing my own nails! I use gel but wow I will have to try that system! Thanks cutie!

[@nbarnes777]

Ooooo I am so excited about this!!!

[@Meredithsellsoklahoma]

Oh my gosh!!!! I’m so excited! Thank you!!!!!!!!

[@KristinStones]

This was wonderful! I LOVE doing my gel mani/pedi at home but have been hearing that the powder is easier and comes out better...You did an awesome job, they look perfect! I love white nails but they never turn out as nice for me. The gel turns out pretty good but still a tad bit streaky...I might have to switch to the powder instead :)

[@tracydoyle310]

I use Sparkle & Company liquids and they are fantastic! I never get that goopy, dried up mess on my top coat bristles. The other dip top coats I’ve tried have all been a mess. They have tons of colors too and you can order them in mini sizes to try them out.

[@cynthiarochin3798]

I am so excited 😆💕 💅

[@erihead21]

Love this video! I’ve been doing it for 2 years now and I discovered that taking a spoon or something and pouring the powder over the nail each times makes a flawless result and I hardly needed to buff just shaped the nail. I also. Buy clear and add my own glitters to it!

[@mai_world]

I am totally obsessed with matte white nail polish!!!! I also have thin nails so color never lasts. I'll have to make a budget for this.

[@mai_world]

Thank you for sharing!!!

[@MandyWinkle]

I literally have this in my amazon cart cause we are in the paying off debt mode and I needed an affordable way to still do my nails.

[@lauramaurizi2778]

What watch is that? Love it!

[@MrsJulietteE]

Switch out the handle and brush part for the brush saver and the top coat. The company knew the bristles of the brush would harden and that's why they included the 'brush saver' bottle in this kit. You don't need to go out and buy your own extra anything, this kit was almost $100 after all! 😁👍

[@njhendritrini3234]

I think I might try this

[@robynfranzen5356]

I’ve tried a few different dip brands and always end up super congested for 2-3 days after I do my mani 😢 I just got the Modelones no chip kit Miko used to do and love it so far! Hoping it lasts!

[@23148214]

Robyn Franzen try wearing a dust face mask while doing them should help a bit.

[@jennywoods8604]

Robyn the same exact thing happens to me too! I thought I was the only one and was allergic to dip and have been trying to figure out for months why I get congested/sneezy for days after I get my nails done. Wonder what causes this?!!!

[@PlainAndChelsea]

I just ordered a dip kit and tools to do it with a couple days ago! So over going to the salon and paying $40 plus tip just for them to not turn out how I want :/ I can’t wait!

[@WhitneyTaylorW]

Chelseabellex0 what all did you buy/order?

[@90quiroz]

You made it seem so simple and straight forward . New subscriber . Do U have any tips on filing nails ?

[@mumilaide8477]

LAAADDYYYY!! FINALLY!!!!

[@peace-a]

Great video but I don't understand why you sprinkle the clear powder on your nails instead of dipping your finger in the container like in the other steps. At 10:00. Did I miss something?

[@Birdmom1823]

💕 Love your videos 💕

[@katiewhelan8178]

Just started dipping at home! This was helpful! How do you like to push or trim your cuticles? It sounds silly but I'm struggling with this part

[@PlainAndChelsea]

Katie Whelan the best cuticle remover I’ve used was by sally Hanson in a little blue/turquoise bottle! It melts it right off. You can get a little plastic cuticle pusher at sally beauty too.

[@andiebear17]

Chelseabellex0 thank you! I struggle with cuticles! I pick at them too so I will try anything!

[@maryxgracel]

So this method doesn’t require curing with a light to set? Looks really good!

[@nancyaguirre1784]

when I got dip at a salon, I was given the option to just add a clear shiny top coat, OR gel clear top coat which then needs the uv light!

[@CaroleAnnette]

Checkout Revel Nail - they have cheaper starter kits! Great alternative brand for new dippers.

[@TheLuzy18]

I’m curious why dipping over gel???

[@taryngeissler8797]

Off topic but...does anyone know what watch shes wearing?

[@MakeupJunkie47]

Wondering the same. I think it maybe a Samsung galaxy watch but I'm not sure

[@NellaMaeBehar]

Working on my budget I realize that I too need to cut down on some expenses and my nails is one of them. So thank you for doing this video and be honest about the time it will take but the outcome looks worth it!

[@leannabrannon5470]

Where did you get your drill? Do you have a link where I can buy it?

[@rubyellen2635]

Just found your video and it was so helpful! Can I ask where your rings are from? There so cute

[@melindajordon1829]

I have been doing the dip at home for awhile, but they only last about a week on me. Around day 7 they always lift at the cuticles and my hair gets stuck in them. Not sure what I do wrong.

[@christaross6339]

Melinda Jordon Make sure to really file around the base near the cuticle before your last step 3 seal and protect. You want it pretty flat in that area. I used to have the same issue. 🙂

[@heatherboiles4673]

Might need to use a good amount of rubbing alcohol or ph bond to really dry out your nail. You could be producing alot of oils.

[@dawnalynn4359]

Thanks

[@Stephhh.Cardenas]

Love this video and so helpful. I'm trying to get everything to start doiing my nails at home. I was wondering for the nail drill, is it still working for you? Has it over heated? Any problems? I like to ask because everything that I have seen so far on other nail drills has been a hit or miss. Some reviews say that it has over heated to the point of it almost burning through where you control the speed. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Have a beautiful day! xoxoxo

[@carlagentry6282]

1. Moved and new salon cut my skin to blood every time. 😟 2. Want to try this but only like natural colored nails. Is that doable with this? 3. Great , in-depth video. Thanks!

[@deven7910]

If you go on the Kiara sky website or any website for dip you can check out their colors. They do have natural nail colors though! Just gotta find one that works for you.

[@emeraldangelle]

Those arms !! You look great!! 👌🏼😍

[@Zig592]

Great video! I always paint my nails myself and put in a little extra effort to make them look salon perfect and people ask me if I get my nails done at a salon.

[@michellealeman3747]

Does it always dry your skin out when u soak ur nails ... definitely going to do them at home now, any tips on letting them grow out?

[@heatherboiles4673]

Get a good cuticle oil for afterwards. Using a cotton ball and clip, the plastic/silicone clips from Amazon, it keeps the acetone in a smaller area. Just on the nail and slightly around it.

[@nikkifowler2359]

How long does it normally take for a beginner? Or what is the total time it takes?

[@alissajacobson5330]

what do you do for your eyelashes? Do you still go in for those, or curious if you've found an at-home system that works well for you... lashify?

[@skstrietstd]

Why don’t you use the step 4 the sally Hansen polish on the two coats and you do one and one? Any particular reason @thebudgetmom

[@jenwessleman9317]

This is great! Thank you for sharing. Saving a ton of money for sure. Unless you dump any powder on the floor. Haha!

[@129kittykati]

I wish I had your job. It's a dream.

[@kivlogs7812]

Just curious, how long do these last?

[@jsassy2002]

She mentioned about 3 weeks

[@jennifer41190]

I've been doing this for a year and my first try was embarrassingly bad but I am sooo glad I stuck with it because I love how my nails look now and so does my bank account! Side note..what watch are you using???

[@mz5110]

What brand do you use? I bought serendipity at walmart to try buy i notice the nails only less than a week and they begin to chip (i don't do a lot of housework btw)

[@jennifer41190]

@@mz5110 I work at a bank now so that helps a lot with how long they last. I bought the kiara sky kit on amazon, but i follow the exact instructions for the gel polish finish. I bought the melody susie light and it's been going strong for 2 years. Highly recommend!

[@mz5110]

@@jennifer41190 light for dip powder? Never seen that before, interesting. It's probably the brand then, i need to invest in the kiara sky one instead looks like the quality is worth it.

[@jennifer41190]

@@mz5110 well you use the dip powder for the first like 2 or 3 layers. And instead of using a color powder, you buff down the last layer of clear powder to where its smooth and then switch to an actual gel polish and top coat and cure it with the light.

[@mz5110]

@@jennifer41190 ooh okay, why do you prefer that method vs the regular dip powder, is it easier?

[@fousies]

It’s too many steps for me. I don’t understand the second to last clear layer step then buffing it. I’m going to try it’s way too expensive at the salon. Thank you

[@Alyylease14]

Yes!!! And you can even get a kit and split the cost between some girlfriends!!!
