Morning fam! Happy Monday!! Hope y’all had a great weekend! Do anything fun?? 👀

@nsmithers1 11 месяцев назад

Wow, I love this method and that color is gorgeous. I love a nice apex. That is why I love doing my own nails, because I felt like when I had them done they never gave me the apex I wanted.

@MarlaKris 11 месяцев назад

Completely relatable!!

@marthahollowell1550 11 месяцев назад

So helpful . Cannot wait to try it. I cannot use dip liquids but have dip powder. Now I can use them. So happy TFS

I have a nice natural apex on all of my nails except my right hand thumb nail. Thank you for sharing this.

I LOVE a how to and why up to date refresher!!!🤩🥰. Love the color as well! My kitty lamp is coming today 🎉🎉🎉. I can't wait. When my nails get longer I need to use C- curve rods, as the sides of my middle and first fingers curve in. It's going to be a great game changer for me. Thank you again for showing it!🥰😍😘💓

@MarlaKris 11 месяцев назад

Omg I’m so glad you grabbed the lamp!!! It’s so flippin cute!!

COFFEEcoffeeCOffEE!!!! KAFFEFEFEFEFE!!!! Good Morning Marla!!! I moved & a shook! I made a WHOLE lasagna for my College son, spent 2.5 hrs laboring over it & after tasting it, my son called me to thank me for making him food! After the phone call I must admit I cried a bit, but I just am not over the bump in the road that he used to be 7 watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, loving explaining the reasons the turtles spent underground with the rat Splinter!!! Ooooooooh!!! Girlie Girl...Thank you!!!! I love a fab apex!!! Mmmmmmmmm!! That color, I Chrome To Win, is luxurious!!!!!! I watch your video's so intently, I must add!!! YOU have yourself a WONDERFUL day!!! ✌🏻

@donnadecker4218 11 месяцев назад

Can you tell me how big of an apex I need for nails that are 1/4 inch above the tip of my finger? Would that be a lot of dips? I don’t want it to be super thick. Your the best and have helped me so much on my dip powder journey!! ❤

@MarlaKris 11 месяцев назад

It depends also on your natural nail (if there’s a natural apex). You’re welcome to send me a photo of your nails to give me a better idea! Marlakrishelp@gmail or dm me on insta @marlakris_dips

@jessicamaurelli5238 11 месяцев назад

Good morning Marla! I love this apex idea I’m going to do it because my nails are so thin. I do have a couple of questions if you could help me out: so every layer that you do do you cure for 60 seconds? Also, I have seen some people do a clear dip on the bottom. Obviously, I heard you say clear and gel don’t mix and I know this question is kind of not pertaining to this video but when you are dealing with the dip liquids, how do you feel about putting a clear dip on the bottom? Thank you sorry for such a long comment 😊

@MarlaKris 11 месяцев назад

Hey love! Yes, I cure each layer for 60 sec. I don’t really see a purpose for clear under color UNLESS you’re planning on filing off the color and filling in the clear. If you’re just doing a soak off, you can skip the clear on the bottom 🫶🏻

@jessicamaurelli5238 11 месяцев назад

@@MarlaKris thank you for that advice because I have been doing clear on the bottom and then three full dips and then clear on the top and then having to do so much filing because they are too thick. This is so helpful thank you one more question because you are the best do you prefer a gel method or dip method and why?

@MarlaKris 11 месяцев назад

@@jessicamaurelli5238 aww you’re so welcome! I prefer dip liquids only bc removal (soak off) is way quicker and they seem stronger. They both have their benefits so it’s really just a matter of personal preference!

@b.c.9358 11 месяцев назад

Hello Marla, do you know if the gel method results in stronger nails or using dip liquids gives you stronger nails? I climb a lot and i want to protect my nails (the free edges and the front top surfaces).

@MarlaKris 11 месяцев назад

I wish I had a great answer. It honestly depends on you and your nails. For some, gel adheres better. For others, it’s dip liquids.

@b.c.9358 11 месяцев назад

@@MarlaKristhanks for your answer, I'll play around a little. I bought the azure beauty dip liquids on sale and I'm going to experiment.

@aprildegele1510 11 месяцев назад

Anything coffee makes me super happy! Nectar of the gods. I noticed that you're not wiping the brush to prevent contamination. Is this not a thing with gels? I also find that there is little clean up with gel. I want to be you when I grow up. I still have a lot to learn and my file/buff time is still so much longer than yours.

@b.c.9358 11 месяцев назад

Unrelated! I noticed when you upload videos in HDR my phone doesnt know what to do with them and washes them out, but when you upload without HDR the videos look great, just thought you should know. I had a very confusing time with one of your videos on the model ones dip power (i just bought some) because when you said they were very black they looked gray on ny phone 😅.

@MarlaKris 11 месяцев назад

Oh that’s interesting! Thank you for telling me! I’ll have to play around with color saturations while editing 🫶🏻

@b.c.9358 11 месяцев назад

@@MarlaKrishello Marla, I did a little bit of research and it turns out there's nothing wrong with your videos, it's a problem with RU-vid. Linus Tech Tips has a video on why RU-vid's HDR is so bad.

Hello , I hope all is well when whoever sees this comment. Also I wanted to just hit a few pointers if you able to. But can you hold the products that you uses close up to the camera so we can see exactly what your using. Also maybe a few times can you do both hands instead of one? I love watching all your videos and you are so inspiring to me thank you . And I hope your day is as beautiful as you are 😊😊😊 when I first watched your videos I was so shock that I wasn’t the only one saying that saying . I’m an upcoming content creator but I’m starting on my ig and that’s what I say before starting any of my videos. ❤❤❤❤ that’s all lol I hate when your videos end so fast and soon I can literally watch you all day also I am new to your channel btw. 😘😘😘 I also been trying to help you by clicking all your links in any videos I watch of you and order the products and put in your codes. I try all products dip, gel polish and also poly gel nails which I don’t lik that much and is very hard to get off but is this dip you have and in all you captions I think it’s called creamy snow or sumn lik tht but every time I click on the link it says it’s not available yet but I want tht color soooooo so bad lol but most of all I order everything you promo.

@jessicamaurelli5238 10 месяцев назад

Hi Marla! So I tried the dip powder with gel liquids and the very next day the tips of my nails are chipping. Do you have any suggestions on why this is happening? I really love the gel it’s easy and it’s so much shinier, but I never had this issue using the dip liquids the very next day, so I’m confused.

@MarlaKris 10 месяцев назад

Could be for a number of reasons. Walk me through your prep and how many layers

@jessicamaurelli5238 10 месяцев назад

@@MarlaKris you are the best for wanting to help me. So for the prep I am pushing back cuticles getting rid of excess cuticle if needed. I am using 150 grit file on the top of my nails because I thought they needed to be rough for gel, then I am dehydrating. I’m doing basecoat, then pouring over dip. Curing for 60 seconds. Doing that again for a second layer, brushing off excess after the cures then a base coat curing wiping with alcohol filing with 150 grit again wiping with alcohol base coat cure top coat cure

@jessicamaurelli5238 10 месяцев назад

I was thinking maybe not enough layers because I have watched so many of your videos with the gel method and I think I am doing it right but I need your help lol

@MarlaKris 10 месяцев назад

@@jessicamaurelli5238 so it totally depends on your nails - you may need an additional layer BUT I would highly suggest a gel primer (I like the young nails protein bond) in between dehydrator and gel base. It’s air dry.. let it dry completely. That acts like double sided tape for maximum adhesion!

@jessicamaurelli5238 10 месяцев назад

@@MarlaKris thank you so so much okay I will definitely try that I had another thought do you think I am curing too much or not enough? Because I’m always wondering if I’m doing flash cures and the full 60 second cure that I’m like burning the product lol
