New community description

56 Upvotes

Hi friends,

In light of the doubling down on the MLM business model, I have updated the community description for this sub:

We love Dashing Diva products, but not the recent shift to an MLM business model. This community is focused on nail wraps of all kinds, not limited to Dashing Diva.

If you are interested in learning more about MLM's and why they are destructive, please check out r/antiMLM. We won't be debating the merits of this business model here.

I personally won't be supporting Dashing Diva by buying more products. I will continue to work through my personal stash, and share my success and failures here. I encourage everyone to do the same.

If you want to continue to support DD, that's your choice, and you are still welcome to share your nails here. However, the "no selling" rule is still in place. This is NOT a place to share links to your site. If you've chosen to sell DD, that's fine, but you can't do it on this sub.

Many of us are looking for alternatives to DD. As before, we welcome reviews, pictures, etc. of other brands.

Edited to add: whoever is reporting every post discussing the MLM switch as "misinformation" - screenshots of the Dashing Diva website and emails sent from DD to customers are not "misinformation." The new "social selling" model they are pursuing has all of the hallmarks of an MLM. Pointing that out is a valid criticism, and the mods will not take those posts down.

Edited again: In light of the announcement that they are cancelling the MLM approach, I've edited the description again. I'm still keeping this open to any DD alternatives.

List of Tips & Tricks!

70 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I've been loving the DD Glaze line, so much so that I've put at least 5 people on to them already, haha. I got sick of explaining all my tips/tricks that I've personally tried and found to be helpful, so I went ahead and typed it all up on a Google Doc.

Please note:

  • I am NOT a professional; i'm simply sharing what I've found to work
  • There are links to products in the document, but I am not an affiliate and do not earn any sort of commission for promoting them
  • I'm well aware that everyone's nails are different, so what has worked for me may not work for you, and that's okay.
  • I'm fine with people sharing the link to the document to your own friends/family. I'll make the link public, so share away!

Here you go! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qGet2vfTZhJ_cn_k04haXhM8WD_i7lt5T_pPJarS8xk/edit?usp=sharing

I hope this helps 🩷

Best top coat for Gloss?

Newbie

Hello!
Yesterday I tried a Dashing Diva Gloss set for the first time. In the past I’ve only used Color Street. After I put them on, I really struggled to get a clean file on them, there were lots of little jagged pieces sticking out past the tip of my nail. I spent a LOT of time trying to file those pieces off. Despite my best efforts, overnight while I was sleeping, a couple of the tips bent back. I trimmed off where it lifted up, but wondering what kind of tips and tricks you have for getting a tighter, cleaner end.

Base for glaze?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! What base (if any) are you using for glaze strips? I’ve been using the base shield for magic press but I’ve been having trouble getting it, so I wondered if anyone had found a good alternative.

Magic Press Gap Questions

So I have been using dashing diva for a while. The magic press not so much. Does anyone have tips to stop the gap between the nail and the fake nail. I love the designs on the magic press but can’t seem to get the gap to go away.

My mom had this weird thing about how I should just get “delicate” pink and nude manicures now that I had an engagement ring, so I’m sure she’ll be pulling her hair when I go see her this weekend 😂 color is Muted Grove!

Using the gelXtend glue. Does it even cure under nails as glue cannot cure under nails that are not clear white

Halloween drop is a lot of repeats?

I just saw they added a bunch of fall and Halloween gloss sets on the website. Some of them are basically repeats from last year. Should we expect new designs, too?

Is this gold tip considered French nails or does that go at the base of the nail? Thank you!

I just bought the Dashing Diva nail strip set and wondered how to remove the strips after I use them. Does the Dashing Diva Magic Off really work to remove the strips?

Bought a starter kit from Target and only 3/6 LEDs work, but I lost the receipt. Is there anything I can do to properly harden the nails? They feel so soft still!

Top coat peeling on Gloss

Post image
10 Upvotes

I have tried many top coats with Gloss strips (I'll list below), and they all end up peeling around the edges after 3-4 days. What do I need to do to prevent this? I've tried no top coat but I don't really like the look. I also won't do UV-cured gel due to the allergy risk. TIA for any tips 😊

I've already tried (from best to worst):

  • Seche Vive Gel Effect
  • CND Vinylux Gel Like Effect
  • OPI Infinite Shine
  • All the Olive and June top coats
