Thank you so much!! 🥰

It definitely feels more "me"! So much faster and easier for manis too!

LOLLL well they feel like nubs after those almonds hahaha girl yesss you should totally try it again!! Your manis always turn out beautiful!

@@SipAndDip thank you. You’re so nice ❤️

The tray makes it such a breeze 🙌🏼💕

You got this!! 💪🏼

🥹🫶🏻 thank you so much!!

I can definitely give it a try!! I need to put my thinking cap on for the best way to approach that 🤔

It really is so handy! Can’t wait to hear what you think! 🥰

I completely understand! It took me 3 years to build up enough courage to try French manis 😆🙈 but once you get over that initial fear you’ll get better and better with each try! You got this! 🥰💗

@@SipAndDip 😀

You got this!! 💪🏼 🥳

Oh my goodness! You are so sweet! I appreciate the support and kindness!! 🥰 I would say my holy grail top coat would be sparkle and co’s glossy coat 2.0! 🙌🏼 it’s PHENOMENAL! Suuuuper high shine, faster drying and a great consistency. What I love is after you do the first layer (just a few quick strokes), then the rest of the nails, you can go in immediately for that 2nd layer (back to first nail). No need to wait 🙌🏼 hope this helps 🥰

@@SipAndDip Thank you so much!! Will definitely be purchasing the Sparkle & Co’s 😉😊

It’s totally optional! 🫶🏻 if someone has flat nails, long nails, or needing extra strength then I would suggest an apex. It can be built with a few layers of clear down the center of the nail and then follow the same steps for the French 💗

Hey Melissa!! Peel off base coat is totally optional. It will make your mani pop off between 1-4 days so that you don’t have to soak off ☺️ so if you want to change your mani up often it’s a great product! But if you want longevity then def skip it! I have switched over to using Mani Boss peel base now. At the beginning of the video I already had the peel base on so I just started with application. UNT peel base takes 5-7 min to dry so it’s just faster to have it done already 🤪 The revel products I used were only the dip powders. So Erica, Veronica and Vivian. And then I used Mani boss liquids because hers are amazing 🙌🏼 I am so sorry to hear about the gels melting your skin 😩 I have had to be super careful with gel lately too. If you’re still looking for a gel base or top coat I def suggest Mani Boss’s HEMA free 2 in 1. It’s a game changer and the only one that doesn’t make my nails sore 🙌🏼 I hope this helps! Please let me know if I missed anything 🥰

You’re amazing! Thank you for the explanation, mechanic in the military so I’ll opt out of the peel base, I need my French to hold up against the worst 😂 You’re a life saver for this video, attempting to do my own French with gels can literally take me 6+ hours fighting with acetone and a microscopic paint brush just to end up with sloppy, crooked smile lines. I can’t wait to give this method a shot, your nails look amazing & this dip tray looks like the ultimate time saver 😩😩

Meant what is the tray

Here is the link to the recycling/French manicure tray 🫶🏻 amzn.to/3fX070n

🤣🤣 a few of y’all have said that lol! And what’s funny is what I consider long some people would laugh at me and say that’s nothing 😆

I have definitely done that! For slowing drying liquids I usually will do 2 dips. So dip in, let powder sit, tap off, and dip again. I've also had that same issue if I do my liquid layers too thick. I would try doing another dip and/or just letting the powder sit on the nail longer so it can absorb/dry. Hope this helps!

@@SipAndDip Ahh okay I've never tried dipping again after I tap off but that makes sense I'll have to try that and thinner layers. Thanks!!

I promise they are worth the wait! I can't wait to hear what you think of them!

@@SipAndDip waiting for the restock!! ☺️
