Liquid Essentials Dip Manicure | 0.5 fl oz | Step #2 Base Coat

Une nouvelle manière de faire ses ongles avec une grande facilité et rapidité. Je faisais mes ongles au gel,maintenant c'est terminé ! Dommage que ce procédé ne soit pas arrivé plus tôt en France !

J aime ces produits. Facile propre donne une une belle pose d ongle

Cette base est nécessaire à la poudre de la même marque. Facile d'utilisation. Je l'utilise régulièrement. L' odeur est réduit par rapport à une base classique UV. Je suis satisfaite de ce produit.

Ok life changing may be an exaggeration but really, this dip system is the greatest!! My nails grow super fast but are weak and thin, and my job as a bartender is incredibly hard on them so growing my nails past my fingertips was pretty much impossible. Once I got any kind of length I'd inevitably break one and have to cut them all down to match. I've tried nail strengtheners, gel, etc and nothing has worked as well or has been as convenient as this dip. For details, read on! So at the recommendation of a friend, I got this base, the clear powder (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MTYI9IM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1) and the seal (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LBID4W0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and my nails have never looked better! I do a layer of this base, dip into the powder, wait a few minutes for it to dry, brush off any extra with a clean makeup brush, do another layer of the base and the dip, wait for it to dry, brush off the extra then apply the seal. I wipe with alcohol, file any irregularities down, apply another layer of seal, then apply whatever nail polish I want over it. On me it lasts about a week before I've destroyed at least a nail or two and I'm ready to remove but I'd imagine on someone with a job that doesn't beat the crap out of their hands it would last much longer. On occasion I will fill in a spot that I have managed to break which is super easy. Just remove the polish with non acetone remover, apply the base to the bald spot and do the same process above, then file down the area until it's even and repaint. The nail will look brand new. I have these for removal (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018QN8V9O/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I cut cotton balls in half, soak them in acetone and apply them to my nails for about 20 minutes. I'll use a hair dryer to speed up the process if I am in a hurry as the heat activates the acetone. Then I slide the clips off my hands and the dip comes right off. I have used gel in the past but no matter what I did, the gel would be a struggle to remove and I'd always find myself having to aggressively file off pieces that refused to come off, even after soaking for 30+ minutes and the gel always managed to damage a nail or two which would result in breakage. It was also a lot easier to end up with uneven or thick nails with the gel, but with this dip any irregularities you end up with can just be filed away. My first application of this dip system was in mid January (the purple polish) and so far there has been no damage as a result of the dip. I have managed to break part of the tip of one nail which had to be cut down and the side of my thumb despite having dip on, but that was the fault of my job, not the the fault of the dip (and with the help of some acrylic tips and IBD resin from Sally's, you'd never know the difference!). So the purple nail pic (ILNP Zoe for anyone interested) was my original application of the dip and is the length I'm usually stuck with. You can see the progression of growth, the bright pink (ILNP Pucker Up) being the most recent at 6 weeks after the original dip application. I've yet to attempt to fill in growth which is probably very easy to do but removal is so easy I'd rather just start clean every time and dark colors do stain the dip so when going from a dark to light color it's better just to remove the dip completely and start new. If you've made it this far, thanks for reading my novel! Just cannot say enough good things about this dip. Buy it!!

Base géniale pour le dip powder, meilleure colle elle ne sèche pas instantanément et laisse le temps de bien faire le blanc et plonger ensuite dans le rose.
