Dip nail liquids - which is best? UK

Hi, I began doing my own dip powder nails a few months ago as my own nails break easily. I had a family wedding to attend and wanted them to look decent as everyone else seems to get theirs done which I can't afford as an ongoing expense !

I bought a Saviland starter kit on Amazon which was recommended on several different sites and I'm really pleased with the results so I've kept up with doing my nails. I'm now at the stage where I need to start looking for new liquids as mine are running low (tons of powder left!)

Please can anyone recommend a brand that they use, that's available in the UK, as Saviland don't sell their liquids individually? I just need the base liquid and an activator as I do clear dip nails and varnish them and then use an "ordinary" top coat..? Thanks for any tips/ suggestions!

I dont have an answer to your question, but how long do the powders last?

I bought the Saviland starter kit about 3 months ago and I've barely used a third of the powder. The actual nails ( if I've misunderstood your question) can last 3 weeks or more depending on what I'm doing. If I catch a single nail I can just remove the dip powder and put a new layer on. I've also got a set of tips (bought for the glue when I ripped a nail really badly and had to try to fix it) and they're a great answer if you actually manage to break a natural nail despite the dip!

I used glamourdip but switched to dipd which last longer. Do you know if they are generally safe to use in pregnancy?
