Really just wanted to say that I enjoy your weekly newsletters & I do follow you on IG too. probably a lot of people like me who forget that it's important to let you know :) I'm a recent convert to gel so will have to check out dip

I am also a dip convert and it does last 3-4 weeks for me! I make sure the nail tech cuts them short so they grow out nicely and aren’t too long by the end of the 3 -4 week period. I can see we’re all invested in your nails lol:) Also, thank you for the slow cooker rec... I need a new one for sure and I’m putting this on my Christmas list😉. Have a great week!

I am low-maintenance and all about saving time and money, so I am optimistic about this powder dip situation! Thanks for the tips :)

Isn’t it nice to have daughters that keep us on trend. Mine turned me on to dip awhile ago and yes it lasts long but it is not as good for your nails as they say. I have recently switched to Olive and June and I just give myself a manicure.

I’ve used gel nail polish for years (every 3 weeks) and recently switched to dip to avoid the UV lights. The dip is lovely if done right and does indeed last 3 weeks. It almost never chips or breaks. It takes longer for the entire process (if done right) but it will be worth the extra time and $$. And, by done right, I mean filed/sanded well otherwise it can appear too thick.

Thanks for your feedback, Stacey! I'm new to this and I'm also going to try at a salon near my mom's house (so not my normal place.). We'll see!
