    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!

    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. :(

    hi! i actually don’t really know of another primer. however, it isn’t a necessary step and the nails will still last quite long without it! i’m glad you liked the video :)

    When you take off the tips will acetone dissolve the resin as well? If not, how do you remove the tips?

    Are you building up the fake nail with a regulars dip powder? Also, what can I use to color my nails? Can I use another dip powder on top of what you finished in the video?

    I loved this tutorial!! Thanks for sharing 💕 would it be very different if I used an actual powder kit with the activators instead of buying all these things separately?

    A great video thank you. Did you use a base coat on the finished dipped nails before you added a colour polish?

    thank you! you can use a base coat, or skip it. it doesn't really make a difference.

    Do you have to use clear tips ? Beautiful nails good job

    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.

    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🤍

    hi! i’m a little bit confused as to what you mean by the “yellow thin nail tips” for dip powder. i only use plastic nail tips for all of my manicures and i find them to be very durable!
