DIP POWDER TUTORIAL - TIPS & TRICKS
- Sanitize hands.
- To begin, select the desired color(s) of powders, the liquids for steps 1-3, the brush softener, nail buffer, and cuticle oil.
- Cut nails, file and shape to your desire. Then remove shine from nails by lightly buffing the nails and dusting them off.
- Open desired color(s) powder and loosen powder with small stir stick
- Apply liquid #1 (Probase/ Ready) to first finger and then dip into powder. Dip the finger into the loose powder slowly and then tap the excess powder off of the nail. ** Be careful to not tap the powder jar as it could spill.
- Repeat this process for each nail and continuing with a second coat and third coat if desired. (In between each layer use an old makeup brush to wipe off excess powder, this will keep your #1 bottle nice)
- Apply a decent coat of liquid #2 (Activator/ Set) on all 10 fingers. Allow to dry 1-2 minutes.
- Once dry use a buffer generously to smooth out nails and file if necessary to smooth out edges. You may also use this time do any additional drilling preferred. Brush off dust from buffing.
- Apply another coat of liquid #2 (Activator/ Set) to both hands. Let dry 2-3 minutes. Wipe fingers gently with a paper towel.
- Apply first coat of liquid #4 (Finish Gel/ Shine) to both hands quickly with 2-3 strokes. Wipe brush on paper towel in between each finger to prevent stiffness.
- Continue on to second coat taking your time for a beautiful finish.
- After nails have dried for 2-3 minutes apply cuticle oil for moisture.
