DIY Dip Nails
I shared on my Instagram stories that I tried out dip nails at home. I’ve gotten so many messages, so I thought I would just share all the info in one place! So far, I’ve only done it twice, but I learned so much after the first dip. It’s really not too bad. It’s way more relaxing to me than painting my nails. I’m the WORST at painting my nails. If I can do this, so can you!
What You’ll Need to Dip:
- Dip Starter Kit – color of your choice! I got the color Erica – it’s similar to OPI bubble bath.
- Electric Nail File -this makes it SO much easier to buff
- A Towel – to cover the table you’re using.
- Acetone & tooth pick – to clean up nails along the edges and cuticle
- Regular Nail File – easier to shape your nails with than electric
- Face Mask – Please wear one or you’ll have a runny/stuffy nose for for a few days.
The Process:
I got this picture from a Facebook group. (You should definitely join for all the tips, tricks, and inspiration.) I did not do this method the first time, and my nails chipped so easily. I did this the second time, and I haven’t had any issues with them! Honestly, the quality of this dip powder is pretty amazing. I think I’ll continue to do them myself and save the $50 a month from going to a nail salon. I can switch up the color more often too without feeling bad for paying full price. No more grown out nails!
I hope this has helped some of you! I can’t wait for you to try it out. Please let me know if you do by tagging me on social media.

such great tips! especially with all the salons being closed
I’m glad it was helpful! Yes, for sure!
I’ve never tried to this before. I barely ever even do anything to my nails lol. I’ll give this a shot and share photos when I do.
Yay! I can’t wait to see them! The dip gives them so much strength without hurting your nails like acrylics.
Really great post, you make it sound super easy! I definitely need to try this!x
Thank you! I hope you do get a chance to try it! Once you get used to it, it’s not so bad!
This is a great explanation! Super quick and easy.

Ive never tried that before but it doesn’t seems that hard! This is such a great and informative post!
Yes! Definitely worth a shot! It’s pretty affordable and once you get the hang of it, it definitely beats going to the nail salon every couple weeks!

During this time is been challenging to keep my nails, so thank you so much for sharing. Looks easy so I would like to give it a try.
All the best,
