you always do the prettiest nails!!! from the colors that you use to the perfect shaping!! I have learned so much from watching your videos.

Using clear over glitters to build an apex is just genius. I'm definitely going to try this.

So very PRETTY ‼️👍🏽

Brilliant! Putting clear as the apex builder OVER the glitter is genius! I’ve watched easily a hundred videos by a few favorite KZread DIY dipper divas and never once have heard this suggested. Thank YOU for this knowledge! I can’t begin to tell you my disdain for glitter only because of the “pain” they cause me to work with them. This will make is much more tolerable. As a relatively new subscriber, I’m just thrilled with your videos and you always reply to my questions as well. Thank you so much!

Oh I'm so glad! I always try to make my dipping life easier 😅

First time watcher, I love how you didn’t work on the apex with the glitter nails until you were done with the glitter, then you used clear. That’s smart. I don’t have a apex naturally to speak of, I have very flat nail beds then the tip of the nails grow up on many of them. So I use tips. How would I begin that apex building? The same way? I’m so glad that you used a very chunky dip as well. Not many would tackle those. Great video! Thanks!

Super helpful tutorial! Thanks 🥰

So helpful!!! Thank you!

Thank-you so much, I will definitely will be using your pointers

Love watching your videos tyfs 💗 💖

Nice tutorial. It will help a lot of people

Beautiful mani like always! Thank you for showing this especially the filing. I like my nails kind of coffin and i always end up having one side angled in too much and not aligning with my nail bed. I wasn't lining my file from my cuticle as you just showed, so thank you for this and i know this will def make a difference in my mani! Also I have flat nails so I try to build the apex with my BG first and now I can make it even better with the dip and filing like you do😍

Yay! Yes how you file after is so important!

Can you make a video on how to keep from building up to much dip by the cuticle?

Nice decor

Love it! Thanks for all the great tips! I’m going to try your apex method next set I do to see how it works for me. I like how you did your glitter apex! And also thanks for the filing advice! I’m eager to get my cuticle line looking so crisp like yours 😉😉

You already have a really nice curvature to your nails and some kind of overlay or enhancement underneath the dip powder. Pretty much every KZreadr I've seen does. I have the flattest natural nail beds ever with no type of curve to them whatsoever. How do I achieve an apex with the type of nails that I have?

So pretty. Thanks for the tip!! Where did you get your bottle holder?

Should I build an apex if I am using full coverage tips?

@@Mspuddin67 yes, how much of one will depend on how long they are but a full coverage tip usually doesn't add much structure or strength.

How do you remove when you have such a chunky glitter

I have peel base on so it pops right off. If I didn't I would soak it off just the same way I do any other dip powder

@@MelissasManis you put the peel base on your bare nail correct? How do you personally make the naked nail smooth for the peel to adhere? TIA
