Prepping Your Nails
Start by shaping your nails with a file and gently buffing the surface. Push back your cuticles for a clean and polished look. Cleanse your nails to remove any oils or residues, ensuring optimal adhesion.
Apply Bonding Agent and Base Coat
Brush on a thin layer of bonding agent. Follow this with an even base coat layer covering the entire nail surface.
Dipping your dip powder nails
Dip your finger into the powder at a 45-degree angle and tap off the excess powder. Repeat the process for a second coat if you desire a more intense color.
Activate the Powder
Apply a layer of activator to set the powder and harden the surface. Allow it to dry for a few minutes, and resist the temptation to touch – patience is key!
Shape and Smooth
Once the activator has dried, it’s time to shape and smooth your dip powder nails. Use a file to achieve your desired shape and a buffer to create a smooth, even surface.
Seal with a Top Coat
Seal your dip powder nails with a high-quality top coat. This adds a glossy finish and protects your manicure, ensuring it stays flawless for weeks.
