No wonder your nails are breaking. I have been filing mine from the outside to the middle my entire adult life ever since I learned that seesawing them weakens them and can cause them to break, I am telling you this because I am hoping to help you to prevent future damage and breakage. I love your videos and I do learn a lot from you so I don't want you to think my criticism is from a dissatisfied channel viewer, because I have subscribed and I am only giving you constructive criticism which I hope will help you in the future. Keep up your fabulous content I am a huge fan.

Great video! I like that it is straight to the point, while also giving great directions. I'm new to dip and was wondering, if I want to use a clear powder on top, would I add another layer, or replace your last layer of color with the clear?
@RaeNailCo Жыл бұрын
I am so glad you found it helpful! I would say it depends on how the color looks. If the color is how you want it before the last layer, you could replace it with a clear layer. If it is not, you could add on a last layer of clear. Just make sure you use a thin coat of base so the nail doesn’t get too think!

This method is the same as the other methods, just the order is different. I would think you should start with the partial coverage and end with the full coverage. That would make them smoother.

I have another brand I use. I am not happy with the base coat of that brand. It gets sticky and thick even after wiping my brush off on a paper towel. Do you think I could use the base coat of this brand until I use up the activator and top coat of the other brand? Could I mix them?

@jenfine2 жыл бұрын
Granted, I'm not on Tik Tok, but I do know a lot about dip powder. The only difference seems to be the order in which you build up the apex of the nail, which is typically done first (with natural or clear coat and then you work up to the cuticle with color dips. So it's in a slightly different order - It doesn't seem to create a different outcome, so I'm not sure of the point. Is this actually trending on Tik Tok? (This is not meant to be an attack on you, so sorry if I seem like a grumpy old women - just the idea that this is some sort of "trend" boggles my mind. It's not saving time or creating a different outcome.) Oh well, thanks for the video, and I do like that color a lot. You did a great job with your application.

Hello, thanks for your comment! You are absolutely correct, it is very similar to the apex method and provides the same result. It was a video that went viral on TikTok that I figured I would try out!🙂

This is method of doing dip called the Tiktok method! The goal is to help build strength on short nails (very similar to building an apex). It is 4 dips of color but it’s not covering the entire nail each time, so it ends up being just perfect. These lasted on my nails for around 3 weeks!🙂
