Let’s get right into the video OK so the first thing you want to do is push back your cubicles and I don’t really have a buildup of cubicles right now so I’m just using this metal pusher electrical nail file, but if you do have a good amount of cuticle on your nail, then you can always use a cuticle remover a softener or even an e file, it’s really just up to you, so after you push back your cuticle, you want to remove the shine from your nail so I’m just gonna be using a nail file to do this, but again if you want to use an a file, you can do that too, and you’re just gonna repeat, these steps on every nail and if you’re wondering why my nails are really short little nubs right now it’s actually because I broke my middle nail and I was like you know what I’m going to cut them all off, but I mean I’m not even mad because now I can do short nail tutorials, nail growth videos and just keep adding tips to my nails and things like that, so yeah next I’m gonna be grabbing my nail tips and I got these Alpha Amazon it came in a two pack of natural and clear how to use an electric nail filer.And I actually liked them at first I was like because I realized I didn’t have a well but I feel like they were easier to work with for some reason, but anyway you’re just gonna take your tips and size them to your natural nail so you don’t want it too big like this where it’s hanging off onto your skin, but you also don’t want it too small to where it’s actually not covering your nail from sidewall to sidewall, so if for some reason you aren’t able to find one that fits you can also just take a nail file and file it down a little bit, so it fits your nail better next I’m going to be taking the Pro base and this is actually gonna be my glue for the nail tip which I didn’t even realize you could do, but rebel actually recommends this to their customers, so all I did was just apply it to the bottom of the nail tip and then place it on my nail and they recommend holding it down for thirty seconds, but it actually stuck on pretty fast like I was shocked so you can use this and you can also use nail glue, if you feel more comfortable with that it’s pretty much gonna do the same thing, but after that I did end up adding a little more of the Pro base underneath the nail tip I honestly I don’t know why I did this I didn’t do this on my other nails because I just felt like it was secure without that.Yeah you’re just gonna apply all of your tips, and then I’m just taking the activator and putting it over where my nail meets the tip so that drives pretty quickly and then you can move on to shaping and filing and guys I really I don’t like shaping and filing at all I just it takes too long, so what I’m doing is taking some scissors and just cutting down the length of my nail I feel like I kept them kind of long I mean at least for me so I did that, and then I’m just taking a nail file and going along the side of it just to sharpen it up a little bit, honestly I don’t even know what shape this is it’s kind of it’s almost a coffin but more like a tapered square I don’t know either way I didn’t want to do any shaping so I was just going with this but I actually think it turned out cute so anyways, I’m just taking the nail file and removing the shine from the tip and then I’m also kind of blending it into my natural nail and when you do this, you don’t want to file onto your natural nail, just try to focus on the actual nail tip and yeah I’m just gonna repeat this on all my nails and then move on to the next step.Next I’m gonna be taking this dusting brush and just wiping away the filings and this is what I’m gonna be using to dust off my dip pattern nails too and actually all of the tools that I’m using are from a toolkit, the rebel has so I’ll link that below too, so after that I’m going to be dehydrated my nail and I am using rubbing alcohol to do this, but I know you guys may not be able to find that right now, so you can also use acetone or just a normal nail dehydrate a and you’re going to apply that to the part where natural nail is OK, so I’m going to be using the Pro base and a clear dip powder for the next step and all I’m going to do is apply the Pro base to about three fourths of my nail and then while that’s still wet, I’m gonna dip it into the clear powder and when you do this, you want to make sure you’re applying your Pro based thin and as even as you can, and then you also want to make sure if you get any on your skin that you wipe it off before you go to dip that is like the biggest thing because you don’t want a bunch of dip powder like stuck to your skin, so I’m just gonna repeat that on all my nails and then lightly down.Off the excess powder and when you go to dust off I would do it after it’s been sitting for about a minute because you don’t want to dust it off too early and then it just like wipe off into the brush, so I’m gonna be using the shade aloha for these nails and I’m gonna be taking the Pro base again and applying it to I would say probably like 96% of my nail because I didn’t go all the way down just because I didn’t want the cuticle area to get too thick, so after I applied it I’m just gonna dip it into the powder and then flip my finger over and tap off the excess and you can use your finger to tap your finger or brush, honestly anything works and then you just move on to the next nail so one thing I notice is these nails are actually pretty long for the jar, and it was kind of hard to kind of dip out a 45 degree angle, like I wanted to, so I ended up pouring some dip powder into the lid, and then pouring it on top instead and I like this method so much better, so if you are doing nails with tips I would definitely recommend this and it just it makes life so much.Easier so again same thing you’re gonna flip it over and tap off the excess and then use the brush to wipe off the excess powder also when you’re doing dip powder nails I would put a paper towel down because it does get a little messy and this is just going to make cleanup so much easier, so after that I am going a little bit further down with the Pro basis time and then I’m just going to repeat the steps pour the powder over and tap off the excess and when you’re using dip powder you want to work on one nail at a time so like don’t apply the Pro base to two fingers because then you risk having one dry and then it won’t dip right and then you’ll just be sad, so this workout went big out of time and then yeah that’s pretty much it so with this color and the length of my nails I ended up doing three to four dips of the color I felt like after the third coat on a few nails I could still see a few spots where it needed a little more color, so again this is gonna depend on how long your nails are and what shade you’re using, but either way it doesn’t take that much longer to do an extra coat, this is actually my first time using tips with powder, but I like.You can have a little bit thicker just because the length is longer, so you don’t have to worry about getting bulky as fast you know and guys I seriously love this color, like my lighting was being really weird, while I was filming but it’s kind of I would say like a peachy neon kind of shade, it kind of looks different in different lighting, which I will show you guys later, either way I feel like this is such a pretty color for spring and summer and I feel like it could look good on pretty much anybody, actually I don’t know I don’t know why I said neon I feel like it’s not like super neon but it is pretty bright, it’s okay again it’s pretty colors so these are my nails after the three to four codes didn’t do a final coat of dipping my nails into the clear powder which I would actually recommend doing because it’s going to protect the color when you go to file but honestly I just forgot to do it, but I didn’t end up finally much anyway so it’s fine moving on you’re gonna grab your activator and apply this to all of your nails and then let it dry for about two minutes and then after this, you can shape and fire your nails, however you want and this is what’s going on. Harden your nails, so don’t try to file without doing this step because then you’re gonna be finally against a marshy nail and it just won’t be fun so next I’m gonna be taking a file and running across the free edge of my nail and I’m just going straight across and then going again up the sides just to kind of make that a little bit neater, so at this step is where you also want to file around the cuticle just so you don’t have that bubbly effect and just anywhere else where it needs to be smoothed down I was actually pretty happy with my application, so I only ended up filing along the free edge of the sides and then I’m just gonna be using a buffing block just to smooth out the rest of my nail, so this step is why you should end with applying the probate and then dipping it into the clear powder because again you don’t want to accidentally file too much to where you’re removing the dip color because I’ve done it before it’s actually really easy to do also side note, these tips I used are more on the thinner side but I feel like with the dip powder, they feel really sturdy, like I didn’t have an issue with them feeling like they’re gonna break anything and that’s also why I didn’t want to do a lot of filing because again.I don’t like filing, but also I didn’t want to have long nails because I just feel like that wouldn’t be durable at all, so here I’m taking the buffing block and again just going over my nails and you want to make sure you end with a buffing block even if you do file your nails smooth because you want to get out any scratches that the finally may have left because you don’t want those to show when you go to apply your topcoat, so after that you’re gonna rinse your hands off with water, no soap and then take the activator one more time and apply that to Oliver nails and this time you’re going to wait for about a minute and then you’re gonna take a lint free paper towel, IM free wipe or a makeup sponge and actually wipe off your nail and this is an important step that you do want to do because you don’t want your topcoat getting all gooey and weird like I don’t really know how it works, but it does appear top go okay guys we’re almost done so now we’re gonna move on to the finishing gel and we’re actually going to be applying two coats of this, so for the first coat you want this to be really quick, only two to three strokes and you wanna make sure you cap your free edge and you just.This by taking the brush and sliding it across the edge of your nails, so this doesn’t have to be perfect, you just want it to be quick and you’re gonna let this dry for about a minute and then going with your second coat, so for the second coat, you do want to be a little more precise with this, make sure your nail is completely covered, but you also don’t want to go back over the same spot too many times because I found that if you over brush, it gives that weird gooey effect and it messes up your top code, so try to be careful without having to keep fixing it and you’ll be good, so after you do that your nails will dry pretty quickly.
