I really need to grab this shade!! I am going to expand my OPI shades 🙌🏼 did you know you can OPI dip powders too?! 💓

I wholeheartedly relate!! I felt that same way when I started out! There are sooo many options with doing polish on top 🙌🏼

Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰 isn’t it so fun to look back on where we started with our nail hobbies? 🙌🏼

@@SipAndDip you're quite welcome, and yes it is.... sometimes it's a lil scary when we look at how far we have come. Lol

Ohhhh no! I’m sorry you hated it! That’s the worst !! How did doing polish over top go? 🤞🏼💗

So I have a set of towels that I use only for my desk and filming. After each set I take it outside and shake it out really good. It all shakes out pretty easily. Then I wash my towels in a separate load together 💗 So this mani was the longest lasting mani I’ve ever had with peel base 🤯 I think because of the amount of layers. But it’s the first time I’ve ever had to really work to pop it off. Which honestly… I kinda love 😆 because I’m so used to peel base popping off within 1-3 days. So it’s nice to know that if I want it to last longer but still not soak off, I have this option. If I were to skip peel base, then I would have used nail polish remover (not 100% pure acetone) to remove just the nail polish. That way I could keep my apex in tack but only remove nail polish. Hope this helps! 💗

Girl I feel you on the dry time! 😆 dip liquids have spoiled us all lol! 🤣🤣

Absolutely!! 🙌🏼 and that works amazingly!!

Yes, this is so clever.

@SipAndDip if u want to apply dip over nail polish, what will be the best method? Apply base coat over nail polish and dip, then after doing perhaps 2 dips then follow as usual? Activator, buff and coat? I ❤️ your channel, so grateful I came across it! Thank you so much!!

Great idea! Definitely wanna give this a try for a longer manicure with regular polish.

Yes! I love adding polish on dip powder. It’s easy to switch up too!

Yayy! So happy to hear this!! 🥰🥰🥰

You’re welcome!! 🫶🏻 it’s a great alternative to using up polishes and having more color options 🥰

@@SipAndDip absolutely! I have to give it a try 💕

So sorry to hear about your gel allergy 🥺 but I’m so glad you’re not giving up and will give polish a try! 🫶🏻

Thanks for coming to hang out Kathy! 💗🥰

Aren’t they just a match made in heaven ?! 🙌🏼💗

They really are!! 🙌🏼 the perfect trio for all year!

Thanks love!! Aren’t they so pretty?! Perfect to start diving into fall 🙌🏼🍁

@@SipAndDip yes beautiful.

🥺💗 thanks love!!

Ahhh thanks boo!! When you gunna come bless us with your presence on the YT playground?! 🤞🏼💗😆

@@SipAndDip who put you up to that question? 😂🤣😂

Girl same!! It was so nostalgic to use it again!! And believe it or not… I had to pop this mani off!!! I’ve NEVER had one not pop off within 3 days. So idk if nail polish layers are thicker or more like glue but I was impressed 🤣

Yesss! 🙌🏼 I couldn’t get over how it looked with only one layer 🤯

@@SipAndDip me either!🥰

Absolutely!! You could totally do that with those other types of products 🙌🏼💖

Aren’t they so gorgeous?! 🙌🏼 and thank you !! 💗

Right?! Same shine!! 🤯🙌🏼

I would suggest gently buffing/filing off the polish. I haven’t personally tried nail polish remover on dip powder but I wouldn’t want to risk it ruining the dip 🫶🏻

You could use non acetone remover. Doesn’t damage dip underneath.

Yessss totally!! That sounds beautiful!

Really?? 🙌🏼 I love that!! It really makes me want to go buy some more!

🥺🫶🏻 that sounds incredibly frustrating!! I am currently shopping for some nail polish base + top coats so I can add in more polish and dip powder content for y’all 💕 I was recently asked about this! Doing polish as the base and then dip on top to prevent having to buff the natural nail. I’m hoping to film this in July!

You have a few options! You could use nail polish remover and gently wipe away just the polish. You could buff off just the nail polish. Or you could apply peel base on the dip powder, then the nail polish. Then you would be able to peel the nail polish off. Peel base isn’t great for longevity but it’s nice when you change up colors often. Hope this helps! 💕

@SipAndDip sorry again, if u do it other way, could u apply peel base on top of nail polish then dip as usual?

Thank you so much! 💗

🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much!

Hmmm I would say yes!! I can’t see why not! You could apply peel base on top of the dip powder top coat (let dry). Then do the nail polish on top. So when you’re tired of the nail polish you can peel it right off of the dip powder 🫶🏻

I would say yes! I just would be very quick to not let it soak for long or rub too long!

Yayyy! Thanks for being here! 💗

I use peel base on my natural nails under the dip powder so my manicures only last 1-3 days (to keep up with my filming schedule). However!! So long you have a solid prep routine and clean application they should last like any other manicure 🥰

Hey there! That’s a great question! For regular nail polish, you could try gently wiping away the nail polish with nail polish remover (not 100% acetone). It could also be buffed off! I haven’t personally tried to remove nail polish on dip but my thought process is that since nail polish remover isn’t strong enough to remove dip powder that if rubbed off quickly and gently with nail polish remover on a cotton ball it would be okay. I think overly soaking could possibly affect the dip powder but it’s hard to say unless I tried. A safer route would be using a coarse buffing block and buffing the polish off. If it is UV gel then I would also suggest filing it off. UV gel polish would need 100% acetone which would affect the dip powder. I hope this helps! So sorry I don’t have more experience on that 🫶🏻

🥰 thanks for watching!

I would use just regular nail polish remover! NOT 100% acetone. That way it would only remove the polish and not hurt the dip powder. You could also use peel base on top of the dip powder and then nail polish if you wanted to avoid acetone 💗

@@SipAndDip thank you!!

Very pretty colors

@@SipAndDip yes. This

Hi Kellie!! Welcome! 👋🏼 💖 I absolutely understand your concerns and hesitation on using gel. When I am trying gels I do my best to make sure they are at least HEMA free. I do agree that some dip powder top coats are more finicky than others. I have had really great luck with sparkle and co glossy coat 2.0. Which top coat is giving you trouble? What is your top coat application process? After my 2nd activator dries (2 min) then I wipe it down with a dry napkin. For my first coat of dip top coat, I do 3 quick swipes on the nail. Then wipe the brush off on a clean napkin, front and back, before dipping back in the bottle. For my second coat of top coat, I’m more precise and detailed. Then wipe the brush off on a napkin again before going back to bottle. I have never tried a regular nail polish top coat on top of dip powder. I honestly am not sure! I would think you would want to skip the 2nd activator and cleanse with rubbing alcohol then do the nail polish top coat. Worth a shot if you want to experiment on a swatch stick! 💗 Hope this helps!

So depending on how much of a gap and ridge there is, you could repaint on top with the nail polish to fill it in. If you use nail polish remover and not 100% acetone that will take off just the polish and not the dip powder. I would personally remove the polish on top just to make sure that my dip powder doesn’t have any lifting. You could also do a fill on the dip powder too before applying your next set of polish on top. Hope this helps! 💗

Opi red nail Polish looks good, but I have a peach and a beige colored one, it looked like 💩

I used it with peel base for easier removal. Peel base let’s me pop them off without soaking. So it’s difficult to say on longevity. BUT I will say it’s the LONGEST lasting mani I’ve ever had with peel base. Normally with just dip it pops off within 1-3 days. But this one went on for a week and I had to file the sidewalls to remove. I think between the base, 2 layers of color, and top coat it really was on there good 😆

Have you tried odorless dip liquids ? 💕🫶🏻

I’m honestly not sure! I have never tried. With dip powder liquids, the base liquid needs activator to “cure” it. You can use gel base with dip powder and once you put it in the lamp, then that “cures” it. So I’m not sure if a nail polish base/top would truly air harden on its own 🧐 might be worth an experiment on a swatch stick! I would probably try to pour the powder over top just in case so you don’t ruin a whole jar dipping in

With the proper prep routine, weeks! 🫶🏻💖

@@SipAndDip Thank you!

🤣🤣 I feel you on this ! It’s definitely totally different going from dip dry time to nail polish 😆

I haven’t personally tried but I plan to soon! A few tricks I would try - 1. You could put peel base on top of the clear dip powder and then polish on top. Then just the polish comes off. 2. Use a nail polish remover (not 100% acetone) I’m not sure if this would affect the dip powder but I do wonder if done in a quick swipe that it could work 🧐 3. The last theory would be to just buff off the polish!

Thank you so much for relying and for the tips! Have you tried yet? Better yet, would love to see this in your next video. 🤗

@@immnotaboutthatlife2086 I haven’t tried yet but I’ve been getting asked a lot recently about polish + dip so I will try to schedule it for June! 🫶🏻

Oh my gosh! Really?! Was it just one particular brand or all sorts?

All sorts. I mostly use free of chemical brands, essie or Opi. Love your nail beds btw beautiful!!

Wowww! That’s crazy!! The only thing I can think of is try doing realllllyyy thin layers?! But wow!

Yea I know haha! Well thank you I will try that. I’m see if it helps it to use the polish during winter time with the dry time it’s seems quicker when it’s colder.
