Anyone done dip nail manicure themselves?

I'm not that much of a girly girl but I do like to have nice nails. But I am super hard on my nails and they are weak and tend to split and peel so I have just gone without polish most of the time. 2 of my best friends are doing the dip nails and they looked so pretty I decided to give it a try. I love it. It has been 2 weeks and the polish still looks new. But my nails grow fast and it looks like I can only go another week without getting them done again.

So I'm thinking I can do this myself. I've looked online and it doesn't look that hard. I was pretty good at painting my nails with regular polish. Anyone else done their own?
 
I agree dip nail manicures are the best. I can get away 3-3 1/2 weeks in-between manicures and my hands are constantly in water.
It is more expensive, but since it lasts almost a month I feel like it works for me.
I had no idea they sold at home kits, I don't know if I could do it myself though, I'm not good at polishing with my left hand.
I'm curious if it the home kits last the same amount of time.

Good Luck!
 
I would think it lasts as long. It looks like it’s the same stuff. I think the trick is getting it on smooth and not on the cuticle. It peels if you do.
 
I'm not sure what a "dip nail" is - but I do the gel manicures and they are GREAT! I go every 2 weeks, although I could probably stretch it to 3 weeks if I wanted to.
