Dip nail kits online shopping from DipNailPolish? Attempting a dip mani at home can be intimidating for a lot of people. And it’s true, going the D.I.Y. route with your dip powder manicure is a lot more involved when compared to traditional nail polish, or even a gel manicure. However, the benefits a dip manicure – also called an sns manicure – has to offer your nails is definitely worth the time spent learning how to do it properly. Fortunately, we’ve come up with a few tips and tricks that will help give you glamorous nails even on your first dip mani attempt!

Buff the entire nail (natural & faux tip) with 180 grit buffer just enough to create a rough surface for the dip product to adhere to. Over-buffing will thin your natural nail, which we don’t want. Moderation is key. You can also use the buffer to gently push back your cuticles from your nail plates. PRO TIP: Especially buff down the area where the faux nail tip meets the natural nail to an even surface. The goal is to smooth out the faux nail tip to the natural nail to create a nice, even foundation for smooth dip powder application. Before starting dip application, sweep a generous coat of Step 1 Bond to the entire natural nail area, especially at the line where the faux nail tip meets the natural nail. This gets rid of oiliness that may prevent dip products from adhering.

Apply a layer of resin over the whole nail, even the tips. Paint that on slowly and evenly. Here’s another of those important dip powder nail tips to focus on: if you want colored powder, now is the time to do it! Dip your finger into the powder again, remove excess powder, and then add more resin. You can repeat this step again to get a slightly more thicker and stronger manicure. Now to seal the deal. Apply the activator in strokes just like you would regular nail polish. Allow the activator to sit for five seconds on the nails. Apply a second coat, and go ahead and allow that to sit for five seconds like the first coat. Find extra information at dip nail colors.

Oil-Free: The Way to Be: “For a long-lasting dip powder mani, you must first rid the nail plate of oil. Create a rough surface, and remove the natural shine with a medium-grit file. Then, apply a bonder or dehydrator.” —Clarissa Leon, marketing director, Kiara Sky. Shake, Rattle and Roll: “Dip powders tend to separate over time. To avoid dreaded blotchy color, shake and roll the jars before use. Storing them upside down can also help; when you flip them over, gravity naturally mixes the contents.” —Hellen Luu, educator manager, Bio Seaweed Gel.
