Hi – this is an old article but hopefully I’ll get a reply.
So – with this dip/gel method you are doing 3 base/dip layers followed with the sealer rather than an activator. So no activator at all? Then you do your gel layers and finish with the dip top coat rather than a gel top coat? Thank you.
I love this method, could you please explain how to just remove that gel layer and not the dip layer? The dip base layer is clear and I want to keep that layer.
Can you explain what you mean by “rough it, don’t buff it”?

Why does my gel polish always peel off of my dip powder nails after one week?
