Gel Pads

Does it damage your nails?

No, not if the application and removal are done correctly. Unlike other manicure methods that leave nails brittle and weak, these gel pads give you a perfect manicure without harsh side effects.

Can I reuse them?

No. UV-free Gel Pads are single-use and must be thrown away after removal.

From what age can they be used?

They are not suitable for young children, but can be used by teenagers under supervision.

Can I wear them in the bath?

Yes, but avoid letting your nails soak in water for too long, as this could encourage lifting.

Can I use cuticle oil?

No, oils can interfere with the adhesive and cause lifting. Avoid applying any while you're wearing the gel pads.

Can I use hand cream?

Yes, no problem. But avoid applying any to your nails or cuticles so you don't reduce adhesion.

How do I choose the right sticker size for my nails?

Each kit contains 22 strips in different sizes to fit all nail types and sizes.

To find the ideal strip, we recommend placing your nail against the strips and always choosing a slightly smaller size. That way, the strip won't overflow onto your cuticles or skin, which ensures better wear.

The strips are 2.4 cm long and range from 0.71 cm to 1.70 cm wide. If a strip isn’t a perfect fit, you can stretch it slightly to adjust it.

Can you make extensions with these Gel Pads?

Our Gel Pads are designed to be used like real gel polish strips, not as tips for extensions. So apply them only on the natural length of your nails for optimal wear.

With regular use, your natural nails will grow and you'll gradually be able to give them the length and shape you want.

Can you apply these Gel Pads on bitten nails?

Yes, absolutely. They can even help you stop biting your nails and encourage their regrowth.

Simply apply them to the natural length of your nails.

We recommend starting with clear or slightly translucent designs for a more natural look.

Can I wear them for gardening / doing the dishes / household chores?

To protect your Gel Pads, wear gloves when gardening or cleaning.

Can you use them during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Absolutely, yes!

Do I need to let my nails “breathe” between applications?

No, since gel pads without UV don't damage your nails, you can use them as often as you like.

Dip Powder

What is Dip Powder?

Dip Powder is a manicure technique that uses a powder to give your nails a long-lasting, salon-worthy finish, along with natural nail strengthening, all without needing a UV lamp!

This method involves applying a thin layer of Base Coat, then dipping the nails in a colored powder, followed by the application of an Activator and a Top Coat.

The powder strengthens nails by creating a protective layer that is tougher and healthier, giving you much longer wear than a traditional manicure.

How long does a manicure last?

The Dip Powder lasts up to about 3 weeks without cracking or chipping. To achieve a perfect manicure with salon-worthy results, clique ici to see our tutorials

Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Apply the Base Coat and dip your nail into the Base Powder.
  2. Apply a second thin coat of Base Coat, then dip your nail into the colored powder.
  3. Repeat this step to get the coverage you want.
  4. Secure the layers with the Activator to set your manicure.
  5. Apply the Top Coat for a shiny effect and a professional finish.

How do you remove the manicure?

To remove the manicure, our Magic Remover is the ideal solution. It's a fast, effective method that doesn't damage your nails. Since this powder isn't a regular polish, it won't dissolve with a regular nail polish remover.

Can I do a pedicure?

Yes, of course. Our Dip Powder is also easy to apply and remove on toenails.

We have a tutorial video for pedicures that you can watch ici.

Can you get a manicure on nail extensions?

Absolutely! The Dip Powder adheres just as well to natural nails as to artificial nails.

Application on nail extensions is done the same way as on natural nails.

Endless designs? It's possible with Dip Powder!

How many manicures can you do with a single jar of powder?

A single pot of color powder lets you complete up to 30 full applications. This estimate is based on applying 2 coats of color per use.

What is Base Powder and what is it used for?

Although using the Base Powder isn't mandatory, it remains an essential asset for protecting your nails. Applied as a first coat, it acts like a shield, helping prevent the risk of nail discoloration.

Base Powder can also be used as the last step after applying the colored powder. It helps preserve the shine and intensity of the color, especially after filing and shaping, particularly for glitter or metallic shades.

If you choose to do a manicure with more than 3 layers, you can add a thin layer of Base Powder between two color layers to ensure a stronger, longer-lasting structure.

I get a thick / uneven result

Here are a few tips to avoid a thick or uneven result:

  • Apply a thin coat of base : It's essential not to overload the Base Coat, to avoid a finish that's too thick.
  • Stick to thin coats : This helps the powder adhere well when dipping and gives you a smooth result.
  • Gently remove the excess powder : Use gentle brush strokes to remove excess powder without altering the manicure.
  • Wait after each dip : Give the base a short moment to absorb the powder properly before continuing.

Liquids

How many manicures can you do with each bottle?

Each liquid makes about 20 applications. This can of course vary depending on how much you use and the number of coats you apply.

My Top Coat turns matte

The Top Coat can become matte or sticky if it comes into contact with the Activator before it is completely dry. It's therefore important to follow the recommended wait times between applying the Activator and applying the Top Coat.

Before applying the Top Coat, we recommend gently wiping the surface of the nail with a paper towel to remove any excess product.

If the surface of your nails already looks matte, don't worry, there's no need to remove all the layers. Just lightly buff the Top Coat, then apply a thin layer of Activator again. Wait at least 2 minutes for the Activator to dry properly. Then apply two coats of Top Coat, waiting 2 minutes between each coat for a perfect shine.

The Top Coat doesn't dry

Your Top Coat needs the Activator to harden in just a few minutes. That's why it's essential to apply the Activator before moving on to the Top Coat.

Make sure to wait 2 minutes between applying each product.

If your Top Coat stays sticky or doesn't dry properly, don't panic! No need to take everything off. Just lightly file it, apply Activator again, then seal with a new layer of Top Coat.

What is the role of the Activator?

The Activator is the key step in our process, a bit like the "UV lamp" for regular polish. It plays an essential role by hardening the layers of Dip Powder, which then lets you smooth out small imperfections with a file.

Even our Top Coat needs the Activator to dry quickly and give a perfect finish in just a few minutes. That's why it's always important to apply the Activator before the Top Coat.

Why does your Top Coat brush harden, and how can you prevent it?

If your Top Coat brush gets hard, it's probably because it came into contact with the Activator. Here are a few tips to avoid this:

  • Respect the drying times : Always wait the recommended 2 minutes between applying the Activator and the Top Coat.
  • Nettoie avant l'application : Before applying the Top Coat, you can wipe the surface of the nail
    with a piece of cotton or a paper towel so no Activator residue is left behind.
  • If your brush is already hard : Don't panic! Replace it with the one from the Brush Cleaner and let it soak overnight. The next day, it'll be like new. Before changing the brushes, make sure they're completely dry so the liquids don't mix.

What is Dip Flu? I'm having an allergic reaction.

At NailyPop, we care about the health and safety of our customers. If you experience symptoms like a cold or watery eyes after using our Dipping system, it could be what's called "Dip-Flu". It's a reaction some people have to the fumes from the base and top coats of the Dipping system, and not specifically to our products.

Here are a few tips to reduce these symptoms:

  • Apply the products in a well-ventilated area to minimize inhaling the fumes.
  • Avoid leaning too close to your nails during application, as it can increase the chance of a reaction.
  • If you're sensitive or do manicures often, wearing a mask can reduce the effects of the fumes.

We want to make it clear that these reactions can occur with any brand that uses the Dipping system. If you experience significant symptoms, we recommend that you stop using our products for your safety.

Your health is our priority!
