Finally a dip powder nail that truly isn't overly thick. Better than salons even!

[alyssamendoza]

I’ve thought about giving up doing my own nails so many times but I just can’t justify the price of getting them done so I keep trying. This is the most helpful tutorial I’ve ever seen!!! Thank you so much! Going to try again ☺️

Your channel is so informational! I got a dip kit for christmas and have found so much value in your content. You are very thorough and clear in your direction. Thank you so much for your time and dedication to what you do.

This is such a great tutorial! It’s my first time trying dip powder and I tried different tips online, but haven’t found the one with the smoothest finish. You made me realize it’s all in the liquid 🤯 I barely had to buff thanks to this method!

[Lady_Miter_Saw]

Truly an exceptional video!! Loving the slower, real time video. This gives me a realistic appreciation and time estimation for how to properly apply, shape, & finish my nails as a dippin’ newbie. Your channel is a Godsend for learning to do dip nails! Thanks for your hard work!!

I love the fact that you use the dip top coat! I don't like when youtubers use gel instead of dip top coat because beginners usually have a dip powder kit with only the dip top coat and not gel (and I prefer the dip top coat anyway because I try to avoid the UV exposure). Thank you for this video.

I love the square shape on you(: your natural nails are everything!! can't wait to see what you create!

[amymiller]

OMG loved this...needed this!!! I took a step back from dip powder in the later half of 2023 and just used regular polish. After watching the video with this absolutely flawless technique you have reimagined dip nails for me, I think my next mani will be a dip mani! Thank you, Chelsea! Can't wait to your flawless technique on my next mani!

This is hands up the best application tutorial l have seen. Will be using this when I try my first application. Now going to look for your nail prep video. Thank you.

I'm going to try and not leave a mini novel comment, but I have so much to say😂
1st, this was a fantastic video. I'm new to the DIY Dip powder at home world. I have spent hours searching through videos until I came across you and Marla's channel. Both of you are incredible at explaining in detail and providing interesting, quality videos that are packed with substance instead of what I found with to many other's channel where they're flailing their fingers around like they're at a rave and talking like the Kardashians 😅sorry if I offended anyone but I can't stand that fake, 'Yassss gurl' talk. I'm sincerely thankful for you and Marla's channels and all the hard work put into making these videos. Sorry for the long comment 😅 😬 This video, among others of yours, is simply gold

Thank you for more helpful tips! I appreciate the real-time speed, it let's us know your human and truly put in the effort to get your nails looking flawless. Great Work! I definitely want to get my hands on the liquids you were using. I do own gel polishes, so I use a clear top coat gel to get that high shine I LOVE! I also LOVE a matte finish sometimes. The dip powder kit I have, I didn't try the top coat, I just used the gel top I have. I was worried it would look too dull and not shine enough, plus I am super impatient when it comes to dry time.

[annieroberts]

Love this tutorial. Getting ready to do my first dip ever and can’t wait to see how it turns out. Nervous but excited 😃

[sunflower]

Your instructions are very helpful and precise, I usually do gel dip powder method, but I’m actually loving the proper dip powder method.
I was going to sign up for a nail technician course and they were going to teach me how to do a nail manicure only using nail files. I can see why, it’s much more informative to only use nail files before you learn how to do it with a nail drill.

[HellenaHanbasquet]

I have those same glass files. I absolutely love them. So much so that I bought a second set for my desk at work. I like these videos. Ive been doing dip powder for quite a while but seeing a slower tutorial is great to remind me of certain steps and why i need to slow down. Thank you!

[nttybo]

Hi Chelsea! I just did my first dip set a couple of weeks ago and thanks to you and Marla Kris it went so much better than expected! It has held up great so far. Im getting ready to do my next set and this video came out just in time. I love the community you have 😊

[staceyhall]

Love this video! Thank you for all the details and real time. I do enjoy these for sure!

[kaihu]

Most exceptional video. I loved it. All instructions and guidance so perfect. I am not wondering about the use of clear powder before and after the color powder. I tried my first time yesterday. Wish had gotten to your video before. Loved the arch and buffing tips. I can never shape my nails right. Yours are so perfect. Thank you for sharing this.

[meganyoung.]

OMG! They look SO GOOD! I am ready now, for sure! Hopefully my cheaper kit will do just as good, but ur video has been _the most_ informative, helpful, and easy to follow that I've seen!
THANK YOU!🎉❤🎉

[LeaLopez-]

Love your videos, you have the best tips; do you have a video on how to remove gel polish on top of dip powder and also how to fill up dip powder please? Thank you so much 💅❤
