READ THIS BEFORE YOU COMMENT

First up, I want to thank the members of this sub for being such a kind, helpful, and uplifting community. Y'all consistently show love to each other whether it be fresh newbies looking for advice or highly skilled long timers showing off their creations.

But -This is a reminder to anyone who finds themselves tempted to show their ass in the comments.

The rules clearly state that criticism is not welcome unless OP specifically asked for criticism and if they did, it MUST be constructive criticism. And once again just to make sure you have understood - ONLY IF THAT WAS REQUESTED BY OP.

We will not tolerate ugly, nasty behavior. And if you violate this rule, expect to meet swift consequences. I have zero patience for anyone who wants to bring down the positive atmosphere we have here.

Most of you do not need to hear this and for that I am so grateful. Unfortunately we have had some issues in the last week or so that made me feel like this needed to be said for anyone who might wander in here with a chaos gremlin agenda.

And for the 99.999% of you who are amazing - please please report this nonsense if you see it. I promise we care very much about it and will absolutely handle it.

Virgo & Gem 'Little Black Dress' over Revel 'Barbara'. I've done a 'Little black dress' by itself before, but in order to make it non-translucent I had to do several layers and with the glitter it just got super thick. So this time I did two layers of Revel 'B​arbara', which is a solid black, and then did one layer of 'Little black dress' over it. I think it came out very well!!

Help! (Need Advice) Peely Base over Dip

1 Upvotes

Hi!

Not new to doing professional nails at home (I used to use hard gel but hated the tedious removal) but new to dips. I have purchased the Gelish Dip system (I already own files so I just got the Basix liquid set and a big jar of a sheer natural dip) and intend on using it to add some strength and bulk to my natural nails. I do like nail lacquer though, and own hundreds of bottles of nail lacquer from various brands.

After finishing my nails with the dip top coat, when it’s dry can I paint over them with a peely base before lacquer? This is not to make the dip peel able, it is to make the colour peel able, I have edited my post to clarify

I have the one from Cosmic Polish and I change my colour all the time, so I purchased the peely base to ensure I don’t accidentally fuck it up with acetone free remover as I do not know if dip top coats react to acetone free.

Please let me know if it is viable, I’d love to finally have long nails again without the risk of hard work breaking it off!!!!!!!!!

Help! (Need Advice) How can I remove DRY dip powder from skin and desk?

2 Upvotes

I am a newbie to this. (Got a grab bag at goodwill for $10. Over $300 worth of dip and acrylic powder!!) I spilled the powder on my desk and while trying to clean it up, it got on my hands 😭 it's still in its POWDER form so I brushed as much off into the trash as possible. And then used a baby wipe to clean off the desk, but it stained it. Can I remove that somehow? And no matter how many times I wash off my hands, they still feel powdery. Any tips?

Help! (Need Advice) Sticker Removal

I tried using these stickers for the first time (I've used stickers before but not this particular kind) and they reacted really strangely when i applied topcoat. Id like to remove the stickers and redo the topcoat but I'm wondering if anyone has had success with that? Im worried about messing up the nail entirely with acetone, maybe it'd be better to take it off with a file/e-file? Would love some advice!

Today’s mani nail dip

I did my usual 4 week mani dip today and I was surprised when he only did two color dips. I have always gotten at least 3 and sometimes 4. Now I am home and looking at my nails in bathroom light and I can see through them. (I’ll share a picture in replies). Should I return tomorrow? This has NEVER happened before and I’m not sure if I should act or not.

Color My World: Lovely Bouquet

First pic is frigid, cold hands, because I'm always freaking cold. Second pic is after warming for several minutes around a mug of hot tea. I know the warm color isn't as pink as what her product images show, but this is most likely a result of my severe, chronic anemia limiting my circulation rather than any failure of the product itself, lol.

Don't worry - my hematologist is starting me on iron infusions later this week to see if we can finally resolve the anemia.

CMW powder is going on SO SMOOTH! there are two other colors from my first order that I haven't tried yet. Salted Caramel and Prophecy. I think I'll do Prophecy next week!

I just did my first set with a glitter dip powder (mossy majesty by sassy saints) and I guess I could have anticipated how much glitter would go everywhere but I’m pretty sure I’ll be finding the fallout from these nails for weeks 🫠😭😅

SNS products, salon manicure chipping within days

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I bought this complete set from SNS Nails, with the goal of trying to do the dip manicure on my own at some point, hopefully after watching the salon tech a few times. I took these products to a salon and had it done by the salon owner who has over 20 years of experience. She applied everything in order, with four layers, natural set-color-color-natural set sheer (same as the SNS website instructions, I checked). Within 5 days they started chipping and by week three this is what they look like (second picture). I had dip nails done twice before at a different salon with OPI products I think, and had zero chips after three weeks each time. SNS is supposed to be the OG brand, so I don't think it's the products, and the tech has an excellent reputation and tons of experience. What could be the problem here? Thanks!
