You don’t need uv lamp for this cause dip powder is attached with nail glue nd using monomer is exactly the same as acrylic powder just more creamer. I think anyways. I’ve been using dip powders cause there cheaper than original acrylics. 👍🏽

Dip powders ARE real acrylic powder..its just more finely milled. As far as the softness and cure times, the more pigmented powders have less acrylic and probably should be used as design elements instead of full nails.

I have been dying for someone to do this! Thank you for sharing!

Dipping powder is acrylic though... So I hope they apologised to you.

I have been using dip powders over a year and love it. I use it in a different way than demonstrated on this video. I brush on a base coat, gel foundation, dip or sprinkle dipping powder than cure in a lamp, again repeat process until you see the depth of your colour lastly brush on top coat cure than wipe off the dispersion layer and done. For people who have lamps that’s the way I found to do it and nails do not chip and stay on long without breakage. If no lamp than follow procedures like Anastasia did. At moment I did extension nails on me with acrylic dipping powders whatever brand you can afford to buy. Of course you prep and dehydrate the nail bed follow prep procedures really carefully not to have lifting. Thanks Anastasia as always🙏🏻

You could still use them as acrylic by having clear base for strength, then colour, then add clear to seal. Im very sure that would work.

Very useful information! Using the same monomer and brush is a good idea, it minimizes the variables allowing for a better conclusion. I will have to test what I have - my daughter wants acrylics, and all I have is clear.

I use dip powders as acrylics constantly. (I tried it in a pinch) But I cure them in the UV/LED lamp, then clear cap them for structure (either w clear acrylic or builder gel). I've had no problems.

Great video. You make it interesting. Thank you Anastasia. 💗💗💗

I know Young Nails Slick Pour can be used. They say to just use it wetter

My salon uses monomer with gel powders and it always works. I've gotten many ombres done with it. But I think they use quick speed monomer. They cure for about 2 min.

Thank you. I found some beautiful dips that I experimented with because I hate the dip process. I have used dip powder as acrylic overlay. You need to experiment with dryness of the bead/pearl. Some are not fine enough and look grainy. I don't think a lot are strong enough because they seem brittle. You can mix them with clear gel or acrylic to make sure that it's strong. I had a awful time filing though.

That last nail you did with the translucent glitter pink is GORGEOUS! that color is beautiful on it's own, i need it in my life lol

Love your eye brows..thanks for your video you answered my question. I will stick to acrylic for nails

I've been using dip powders for over a year now as design powders to encapsulate.

Guilty pleasure - the brown one from Kiara Sky - I think is inspired by chocolate :)

Max'es higly pigmented color acrylics are ment to use as regular acrylic, dip, ombre and 3D. I have a couple of them, but I have just tried one of them on my nails. And they dry really slow. It might be a lot better with his new an faster setting monomer 😉 Tfs hun xoxo 💕💕

I'm so glad that kiss powders work... I have tons of colors from them in dip... I'll be testing them out on my practice hand and I'll let you know if the colors work.... I'm definitely going to see if the white, red and blues work....

I was wondering the same thing if the dipping powder works as a acrylic powder ;) thanks for the experiment!

Glam & Glits’ first collection the one with all women’s names can be used as BOTH dip and regular acrylic powder. BUT I have found that a lot of them are lacking in pigmentation to be used as an acrylic & monomer system. All their other acrylic powders are extremely pigmented and work great with monomer. Hth.

Tfs hugs 💜.

Were those asking. About using regular acrylic powder for dipping, I’ve used it in the old application that used to be called acrygel. This was before the brand of acro gel that’s like poly gel. I prepped the nail, applied a base gel (at the time I was using Gellish foundation liquid), then applied the dip powder and cured it. I’ve been buffed it with a buffing block and repeated the process. You did have to buff it with a buffing block after you were ready to put on the two layers of topcoat because it was a little rough. You can use a small grinding mail with regular acrylic and make it finer milled. I’ve sent seen a pretty recent video from another nail tech using Kiara Sky dipping powder, and just using the gel in between coats and nuking it. She didn’t use the activator or their basecoat. Of course, there are two in one dipping powders, such as Not Polish, Chisel, IBD Dip and Sculpt. There are a couple of others you just have to google to in one dipping powder powder.

So I used my quick dip powders yesterday and mine didn’t cure at all I also tried to use the activator that came with the kit and it still didn’t harden .

Yes it is the only difference is that you will substitute the monomer with the resin activator well at least with the OPI brand.

I have been using Quick Dip by ASP (I believe is the co name). I purchase from Sally's. My question is, can I use any dipping powder with the liquids stage 2 and stage 3. Which are the liquid gel you brush on, the dip in the powder, and then stage 3, the liquid activator? I love the products, the are just getting so hard to find in Sallys since Covid. Even ordering online thru Sallys takes so long. I would like to know if mix matching products would be possible Thanks

I WONDER!!! if you do everything the same way you did in the video but at the end of each nail application you put the "hardener/ developer/ activator" … I don't and nevr did dip before so idk what its called that hardens it but I wonder if that would cure it fully, the WAH-LAH?

The blue reminds me of G&G Jennifer

The nail salon ppl used dip powder as acrylic on my nails and it works actually

Dip takes longer to cure with monomer if at all because they have a higher ratio of pigment to acrylic unless they are made to be used both ways.

Loving this ! Quick question which I couldn’t fine answer in any videos, you or someone can help me. After using monomer with dipping power, do we need to apply activator ? The dipping power has Base, activator and top coat. Does monomer will do the job as an activator ? Thanks

What if you apply the dip powder activator to get them to harder?

Hi, I was wondering for the Kiara sky dip powders, why does mines turn white with the monomer I use? Every colour I have turns white except black.

Does anyone know if the dipping powders from the brand SNS work as acrylic as well?

" Katerina Petrona Zamalochekova! But your dad just calls me Katya! "

What are you cleaning your brush with as you build your nail??? I noticed your not dipping it in the monomer? I'm so curious! Still learning... my brush always gets so mucky! 🙄

So I do dip power with as acrylic and just put the activator on after it works perfect
