i used clear dip and then used regular nail polish on top!!🥰 i used the apex method and really loveee the nail polish on top! it makes it so much cheaper than to always buy new dip powder colors!

1. prepped & cut cuticles
2. glued on nail extensions & filed into shape i liked
3. applied one base layer and let it dry
4. starting dipping using the apex method
5. used activator & refiled, buffed, shaped
6. used activator again & let it fully dry
7. wipe nails with alcohol and then add regular nail polish base coat
8. let dry & add however many layers of color you want (allowing time to dry in between coats)
9. use regular nail polish top coat!!!🥰
10. let nails dry for at least 20min or more before using them!!

I did gel and builder gel for last 4 years until I developed an allergy late last year 💔 so I gave my nails a half year break and wanted to try out dip!! The shaping and dipping is a little rough looking but I’m crossing my finger that this won’t flare up my allergy!!

I used revel EZ systems with a white nude glitter dip color from azure beauty and then a clear dip from eodci! I got everything from Amazon and did a lot of research in this forum, so thank you for all your wonderful tips and tricks!! Also more than open to constructive criticism!!!
