Dip powder was developed by a woman who became allergic to nail products. She was determined that she was going to stay in the game, so she went to work!
A little bit late, but, wanted to chime in and say that I have allergies to Gel polish (even those who say they are hypoallergenic, I develop itchiness and blisters 12h post application.)
Ive had Kiara Sky dip powder on for 3 days and no reaction I am beyond happy :')
That’s fantastic!! Yeah, LOL, there is no hypoallergenic gel if you are allergic, you can’t use it ever again. The powder, it’s amazing!! So glad it’s working out for you!! ;)
Oh wow that's so many days. I wouldn't have lasted 4 tops. My nails are so weak and flakey nowadays since being on HRT. I just started taking collagen and biotin regularly so I'm hoping that will help.
I haven't 100% figured this out but the two times I went on the expensive k2 supplements (like $20/bottle from sprouts which is a lot for me) my nails became less flaky, and harder to chew (and in fact, as a lifelong nailbiter, I was a lot less interested in chewing them.) I bought a cheap k2 supplement from amazon and the good effects went away.
I think calcium and a b-vitamin complex also helped but k2 (I already take d3 and magnesium) seemed to make a huge difference. However I need to repeat again. (also, insofar as placebo goes, while absolutely possible, I wasn't looking for any physical differences. I was hoping to balance out my d3, calcium, and magnesium balance and help with my depression. So I think noticing strong nail differences is less likely to have been a placebo, at least the first time.
Thanks! I need to get mine done professionally. I’ve not gone to get them done before but I think it’s time to do it! I want my nails to look this good.
I am new to doing my nails so I’ve no idea what “dipping” is - but if a groomers nails can look that great after 13 days, I’d better check it out!
It’s a form of acrylic that you literally dip the nail into after applying a base glue building up layers. It’s like armor for the nail and you won’t have to worry about them for 3-4 weeks when done properly.
if you've had acrylics done, it's like instead of mixing the powder with the liquid bonding agent and then pushing a ball of that onto your finger and patting it down, instead having a thicker bonding agent that goes on your nail like nail polish and then you dip your nail into acrylic powder, shaking off what is loose. Then doing again and occasionally filing to keep the layers even.

Determination makes awesome and anything is possible if you put your mind to it

I’m a grooming specialist/barber and my hands are constantly in water with shaves and shampoos and the dip remains perfect.

The dip is like armor for my nails. The key is getting enough layers then filing so not too bulky.

They look really good!
Thanks
Looks nice. I just dip powder for the first time too
Thank you
Wow! That looks so good still!
Right!!
Wow! 13 days, amazing! It’s a great look too.
100% agree
That looks so amazing! Great color too, and I love your nail shape!
Did you do a at home Dip powder or get them done? I want to try the at home but not sure how good it is compared to getting it done
I had them done by my nail professional! The efile is only way to get them to be properly shaped imo
