Guppy & Daybreak by CN Designer Dips

I think this may be my cleanest set yet! this is Galapagos by CNDD. I find when my nails get a bit longer, it’s easier to stay clean…. Just ignore the short pinky nail that I broke before it was time to do my nails lol

the last set DID turn out to be the engagement nails 🥹💍. and that means no more neutrals for a while, back to fun colors!

Is there anyone in this group who would be interested in buying mini jars? I got into doing my nails at home a few years ago and went deep down the dip powder rabbit hole. But it was for sure an ADHD hobby 😆🤷🏻‍♀️ and I bought waaaaaay more than I could ever use. My hyper-fixation eventually turned toward some other outlet and now they’re just taking up space.

I’ve got 350+ colors, including 152 from Sparkle & Co. alone. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Many of these powders have only been swatched and never used on my nails.

I have swatches for most of them but not all and will include them. I’m willing to sell them for $2-5 depending on brand and size, or I’d make a deal if someone wanted the whole lot!

I’m not interested in selling 1-2 individual colors at a time because that would take foreverrrrrr. I’d like to sell the jars in bundles of at least 10-15, but preferably more. I think ideally I’d sell bundles of 25 for $75 plus shipping, and the bundles would be comprised of Sparkle, Revel and miscellaneous brands. But I’m open to suggestions from buyers regarding how best to destash.

I also have supplies galore! Nail tips, swatch sticks, stickers, brushes, dust trays, a drill with extra bits, buffers and tools, etc.

I will list below what I have just to show what I’m working with. Let me hear your thoughts, offers, etc!

After I made a post mentioning dip flu that got some attention, a comment about using a respirator gave me hope and I gave it a shot. It feels extra as hell, but so far so good!

This time around I experimented with shapes: rounded square on the left, almond on the right. Usually I like a rounded/oval and the true sharp corners of a square would drive me nuts but thoughts on how these look on me?

Liquid: Kiara sky
Powder: Revel. Pink is thermal, D847 wild berry. The sparkly one is uh, CM Freebie 2020. They use some weird names.

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 was given a bunch of dip powder from a family member who no longer used it. Does the actual powder itself expire? I already anticipated buying more activator and such.

Continuing to use sassy saints pearl provocateur (been about 5 months since I last did my nails so hoping the liquids will stand up)

Quick Dip Glacier Blue powder.
Mix of Revel and Beauty Secrets liquids.

Used same process as always - file nails to prep, primer, 6 coats of dip using Apex method (this made them very thick so spent A LOT of time filing). Mostly manual filing and used an e file mostly around cuticles but a little on entire nail also. Noticed the cloudy look before the top coat and thought it might go away with top coat application but it did not.

CNDD never fails me.

Thermal: CNDD Winter’s Kiss
Lavender flakey: CNDD Pixie Petals
Pink shimmer: CNDD Glow Getter
Clear: Revel Vivien
Also added CNDD Make it GLOW! Blue

Virgo and Gem top coat

I use Revel Nail dips and liquids. No gel used in this mani. It took me forever and the best part is that it glows in the dark!

Both colors from CNDD. The teal is Seascape and the yellow is Sugared Lemon.

Hi! This is my second time getting dip (no tips) it cracks/breaks off at the corners.. is this normal?
I got this set done 4 days ago and by the second day I noticed chipping. Am I too rough on my hands? For reference I work in the dental industry

Sometimes I look at all of the dips I have that I've never used and decide to use as many of them as possible at once. Is it just me?! I almost feel guilty when I use a single color, like I'm neglecting all the others. Hahaha

Colors used:

• Pinky: Opalite (Color My World)
• Ring: Gossamer (Dipnotic)
• Middle: Periwinkle Ice under Sky Opal (both Dipnotic)
• Index: Starlight (Fancy Fingers)
• Thumb: Enigma (Color My World)

They’re not perfect, but that’s okay. The hearts are my very first attempt at freehanding a design so I don’t even care that they’re messy- they’ll be perfect to do again a year from now and see my growth.

I use modelones liquids with Aillsa tips.

Top to bottom colors:

1. Blue is Moonlight and pink is Pink Drink both by 915 (advent colors) (yes I know I gotta shape the tips a bit better lol)

2. Yellow is Hayride with dash (advent) sprinkled on top and blue is Blue Lagoon all by 915 (my colorblind husband actually picked these colors, completely unintentional that it turned out to be a snowehite-esc set lol!)

3. Pink is Love Bug by 915 and gold is Big Nail Energy by Nailboo

4. Sparkly purple is Galaxy Glam by Nailboo and periwinkle is Beyond The Wall by 915 (sub color)

5. All Lovebug by 915 with regular black polish for the hearts

6. (Very last slide, I’ve lost a nail lol) black is Magic Moon by Nailboo with a custom mixed red using both 915 and Nailboo on the middle fingers!

Just in case anyone is thinking about giving up, I was doing such a terrible job a couple of months ago but this sub has been brilliant with advice! And I’m finally getting there 🤭

How can I prevent the antique look to my nails? It seems to happen to all liquid brands. Is it a curing issue? Am I too hard on my nails? And yes I have a clubbed thumb or bracydacty-whatever-it’s-called, been living with toe thumbs for 40 years.
