dip Manicures

​About a year and a half ago my best friend took me with her to get a mani and I tried dip for the first time. I've been getting dip manis ever since and never looked back. Before that I never even went to get a manicure because I didn't like sitting there and it never lasted long enough for it to be worth it for me. Now I either get dip or do my nails at home when I'm giving them a break. So here's everything you need to know about it if you're thinking about trying it...

what is dip?

The nail color (what would be polish) is actually a powder that they dip your nails in. Also called SNS dip but there's other companies that make the powders.

Lasts two to three weeks with zero chipping- You'll only have to get them done again after they grow out. It just depends on how fast your nails grow

Natural nails grow out underneath: If you want longer nails you can get tips the first time but after that it's all "natural"

Does some damage- The nail underneath will NOT look pretty- Once I take a break from the dip my nails are brittle and break easily

Can remove it at home- You can remove it at home but it will take some WORK. It either peels off or you can use hot water, acetone and cotton pads. 
​

Your nails will look amazing for at least a couple weeks and it's definitely worth trying! It's perfect before special events or trips when the last thing you want to worry about is your nails.
