How to Apply Dip Powder to Nails:

Nail Prep:

Nail Prep Dip Application Activation Start with clean, dry nails. Gently push back your cuticles. File and shape your nails to your desired length and style. Buff the nail surface to remove shine and create a rough texture for better adhesion. Cleanse the nails with rubbing alcohol or a dehydrator to remove any remaining oils or dust.

Dip Application:

Apply a thin even layer of base coat to the nail, leaving a small margin at the cuticle area Carefully dip the nail into the dip powder at a 45-degree angle or gently pour the powder over the nail and tap off excess powder Repeat this process for all nails on one hand, working quickly to prevent the base coat from drying prematurely Use a soft brush to remove excess powder from both the nail surface and cuticle area after each layer.

Activation:

 Apply an even coat of activator to all dipped nails and let dry for a few minutes After the activator dries and the dip powder hardens, file and shape nails, then use a buffer to smooth the surface. Second activator application: Add a thin layer of activator, let it dry, and optionally wipe with a lint-free wipe to remove residue.

Top Coat:

Apply a thin topcoat avoiding skin and cuticles Let dry for 1–2 minutes Add a second even topcoat and let it dry fully Once topcoat is completely dry, wash hands and use cuticle oil or moisturizer to keep nails hydrated

Cuticle oil:

Apply on cuticles and free edge of nails

Cure the nail under a UV/LED lamp for 30 seconds.  Repeat this process for all nails. Use a soft brush to remove excess powder from both the nail surface and cuticle area after each layer. Add layers using the same method until desired look is achieved. We recommend 1-2 layers of dip powder per nail.

After all layers have been completed, apply a thin, even layer from the nail bed to the free edge, ensuring a horizontal stroke across the free edge for uniform coverage.  Cure in UV/LED Lamp for 30 seconds.

Gel Top Coat

Apply a thin, even layer from the nail bed to the free edge, ensuring a horizontal stroke across the free edge for uniform coverage. Cure in UV/LED Lamp for 60 seconds. Repeat second layer of Top Coat if desired for strength and shine.
