Am I the only one who loved the way the nails looked before she polished them lol? 😍 I love the natural, whiteish, matte look! Super pretty and unique.

Same!!!! I would always ask for a color similar to this at the salon and they could never match it. Now I know it’s just the base 👀😂

This tutorial is amazing. I feel like i could totally do this now!
You make this look so easy. It can’t be that easy. Your a pro girly.
I do mine for the first time next week. This video has helped with confidence. Love it thank you!
What a great tutorial! Looks like a subtle french fade before you applied the nail polish which i totally love!! 🥰💕

LMAO! It still amazes me how advanced nail supplies and youtube have become. Together, they've been a driving force for people looking to leave expensive salons. I haven't been to a salon since 2012ish and am just getting into wearing nails again. We didn't have detailed videos back then, and certainly didn't have the supplies!

Your nails turned out great! I need to learn how to apply the product this smoothly.
If you don't brush the powder off the nails after each dip into the powder it will make your base brush hard and not usable. Very important step. Nails look great.

You did a great job of demonstrating your technique! I’ve been a cosmetologist for 45 years and some people just have a knack for teaching and I’ve been in alot of classes, from colors, perms and nails and actually, I feel confident that I could use this technique after just seeing it once. Thank you so much!

I wanted to add that you said you weren’t sure what the activator does, it causes a chemical reaction that actually turns the soft unstable mixture into one hard substance with a completely different makeup! Very similar to porcelain, the type of glass type pottery that china cups and dolls are made of! This is probably the most important step in the process!! I prefer the porcelain to any of the acrylic, gel, or anything else. Again, great job!
Great video! I didn't know that Color Club had a dip set, that's the one I'll be looking for! Thank you!

Excellent tutorial. 👏 🙌🙌
GREAT JOB!!!

Thank you for this tutorial! I want to be able to do my nails at home, since the salon is costly. Thank you also for providing links! I've never seen the clear tips before. Sweet! Question: the primer you have listed says it is for use w/ a LED lamp on the package. Do you use a lamp at all? Does that impede its effectiveness for this SNS process?

Deborah Mason hi! the primer i used is primarily used with gel but for this video i used it with dip powder and it worked just fine :) so in this case, no you don’t need a lamp 😊
It’s almost too good to be true I wonder if it’s really that simple or you’re just a pro and make it look easy. I tried doing my nails before and failed miserably xD but I will try your method and ps I subscribed :)

This was great and I appreciate that it was short. I am surprised that you can cut/shape your tips without them breaking. Also, am I correct that you used regular nail polish on top of your dipped nails? Why not a colored dip powder? Do they stay on without chipping? Thank you!
I'm using this video as a reference to do regular polish with tips
This is genius 😭... I’m about to become a mail technician 😍😍!! Thank you!!

i always recommend applying very thin layers because this will combat the unevenness. also, filing is really the key to get a beautifully shaped nail! sometimes mine come out bumpy and uneven and this can normally be fixed with a hand or e-file.
When u put the base over the second and third etc layers of the powder .. does it harden the brush ??

Mya Jasmine it can, and to prevent this i always brush off the extra powder so there is less to stick on to the brush :)
Someone may have already asked this but which kit do you recommend getting? I know you used stuff from asp quick dip and the color club sensational. Which one do you think I should get? Or do I need both? Thank you🤗❤️

rachelheartsmakeup07 hi! i have tested many kits and honestly the color club and asp systems are very similar. i think the main differences are the price points and sizes. personally, i like the color club powders but the asp liquids. i also HIGHLY recommend the brand sparkle and co for dip powder. while they are a bit more expensive, the quality is very good. i actually recently posted a video testing it out so i recommend watching that. hope that helps!

I love this! The only thing is don't use too much dehydrator like you did. A thin coat it good enough.
This was very helpful. I especially appreciated that it was short and to the point. I'm assuming that you could have applied a top coat before the oil, if you wanted them shiny? Also, how do you remove the tips?

yes! you can apply polish on top of the dip powder extension. make sure to buff the surface of the extension smooth, cleanse the nails, and then go right in with the color application.

Anyone doing this at home please look up a video on how to prep the nail and for a smoother application brush off extra powder in between each coat of base
Great, easy to follow steps! I tried this and it turned out okay…my nails looked a little lumpy where the tip sits on my natural nail. Any advice for this?

i recommend trying to slightly file down that ledge to avoid a bump. also applying a thin strip of dip where the tip meets the natural nail can help even out the ledge!

If you have igel powder in heavenly sent it's the same as this and Emily from revel nails. All the same color of very close to this one. Great tips in your video

I’ve been interested in using nail tips. Do you find that they are pretty sturdy? I have a baby and wash my hair do pretty frequently and whenever I use press on nails, they pop right off.

hi! i find the makartt tips to be pretty strong especially with the addition of dip on top. if you’re very active with your hands, i’d recommend keeping the length on the shorter side. overall i’d recommend them though!
Love this video, actually makes me think I can do this! ha. Question. The primer - I know there are a ton but I was just going to try the one you used, but it's out of stock on Amazon. Was curious if you had another one you liked that you could recommend? @katesnails. Thanks again. Glad I found your channel. The glue press-on nails are not working for me since my nail salon has been closed. :(

@katesnails
7 ай бұрын
to achieve this specific look, i find the clear or natural tips look better. if you used a more opaque tip color (like white), it would just be more visible through the dip powder.
do you still have to buff your nails out like acrylic nails when doing this???
@katesnails

you do have to buff the surface before application.
wow! Okay so, I tried this the other day and it didn’t turn out well for me. I think I know why now. When you did the first dip and only dipped 2/3 of the nail I didn’t do that and I ended up having a weird dip in the nail where the tip was. So you did the 2/3 to kind of blend that with the nail tip. I’m gonna try again following this video to the T and hopefully it turns out way better🤍
