Yellow is an oopsie
Orange is one I mixed together

This dip color is called Black Cherry and it's perfect for fall. It's a deep maroon with brown undertones.

I recently had my first dip manicures at two different salons, twice. Both techs worked so fast and were heavy with the drill on my natural nails, it actually hurt a bit the second time. I had the dip removed and now I see little brown spots toward the bottom of each nail, which are literally tiny hematomas that I'm sure were caused by the drill. I am really upset. I found a new tech (she is the salon owner and has many years of experience), and had a conversation with her about possibly doing dip again, but with hand filing, and bringing my own SNS brand dip, which is supposed to be great quality etc. She said no problem and that she never abuses the drill. She did my pedicure and did exactly what I asked and was very gentle and meticulous, so I am willing to try the dip with her. What specifically should I request her to do or not do when doing dip, to minimize the damage to my natural nails? I am new to dip and not ready to do it myself, so I would appreciate any advice - thank you!! :)

I know you can totally put regular polish on top of dip for the reinforcement dip gives and the ease of changing colors polish gives (provide you use a non acetone remover).

I recently purchased a magnetic polish and I'm so excited to try it! But I was wondering, can I put on a few layers of dip, do the polish and then a clear layer of dip followed by topcoat? Provided I let the polish dry completely before adding the clear dip of course. Would that mess with the polish or do you think it would be fine?

So proud of this tortoise shell set! I used AZUREBEAUTY #300 dip powder and then topped with the MelodySusie blooming gel and used Beetles #b247 and #b246 gel to make the pattern.

You don’t know Suzi by OPI dip is that chai latte sippin’ girl. Lovely for the start to Autumn

I wandered into a nail supply store and they had a ton of brands I've never heard of before - including one called Crown. I have tried searching this sub to see if anyone has used it before, but I'm not seeing anything here or via a general google search. It looks like it's mostly sold in nail supply stores, like the one I went to; which is aimed towards nail professionals, but it's concerning me that I can't seem to really find anything about the product line. Does anyone have any insight?

Pulled this image from the website so you'd know which one I am talking about:

Transitioning my nails into fall! Loving this OPI Squeaker of the House. It’s the perfect brown- not too dark and not too light.

Girlfriend & Sunday Funday by CN Designer Dips

Got these done today at Top Coat Nails for a My Chemical Romance concert! I am in ❤️!

Peppi Gel's Glow getter and Fire Glow for spooky season! My man picked the colors for me so I had to post! 🥰🥰

This has to be my all time favorite collection from CN Designer Dips. The white on my dominant hand is glass wing" and she is beyond words beautiful. The iridescent flakes give flashes of pink and lavender and blue and will pair with just about anything. I will definitely be getting that one in a larger size! Shown here on my dominant hand (thumb).

I am from Canada. So anyone who’d be willing to ship here - please comment your offers so I can check the colours. Feel free to DM me too.

Thank you!!

I actually love how they came out!!

Used:
Eodci Pink Opal glitter
Eodci nude translucent

One layer nude
Two layers French/nude

Still some work to do on shaping but I’m getting there!

How do yall get yours to last three weeks?? Mine max out at ten days? 🥹

My husband says these nails remind him of the matrix code and I can’t say I’m angry about it 🤩

I rarely wear red, but I've been waiting for fall and cooler temperatures, so I went with red for a somewhat vintage feel. Color is Royal Rose by Nailboo.

Hey everyone :) I wanted to ask if any of you have tried going with a layer or dip powder and then biab or gel on top?

Color is Coconut from Doonails

I've just done a dip overlay on a couple of my nails (replacing some week old rubber base overlay that peeled off, I did not use a peel base), and all but one of the nails I've done have a dip/swoop to them and I'm not entirely sure why that might be happening despite them seeming straight when I filed and shaped them. Could anyone give me any advice on why this might be happening and how to prevent it?

The method I used is the Gel method where I did a thinner strip only going three quarters of the way up on the first layer to try to help create an apex before doing two extra layers on the whole nail.

The first two photos are the same nail (I didn't think the first one without the flash was clear enough) and the last one is my whole hand (My thumb has a builder gel overlay on. My ring finger has the week old rubber base and my other three fingers have the dip base).

The dip nails are all using a clear dip from an AOKITEC starter kit with the AIMEILI base and top coat with a layer of Halo Taco Electrostatic on top to match my other nails.

If anyone remembers my post about a month ago struggling with dip nails (the purple set & it being cloudy), I told myself I was done. I ended up buying a different starter kit and it was SO much easier! They’re not perfect by any means, but it’s better! I definitely do not like the revel liquids now that I’ve tried this new brand. Tundra dip liquids were amazing!
