Application of Dipping Powder

Products Used:

- Premium Dipping Powder Starter Kit

Preparation

File your nails into the desired shape and gently push back your cuticles.

For optimal adhesion, lightly roughen/match the natural nails with a buffer block or the fine side of a file, before application.

Be sure to remove invisible cuticle and skin debris as well, to avoid lifting.

Do not apply oils or creams before use.

Step 1. Base Coat & Color Powder.

Apply a thin layer of Base Coat. The first coat should be quick and does not need to be too precise. Be careful not to paint the cuticles, as this can cause air bubbles under the nails and affect adhesion.

Then immediately, at a 45-degree angle, dip your finger gently into the color powder and tap off the excess powder. Next, remove the excess powder by lightly brushing over the surface. Repeat the process on the rest of your nails. Paint one nail at a time and then dip directly into the powder before starting the next nail.

Step 2. Base Coat & Color Powder.

Repeat step 1 for optimal coverage, adhesion and beautiful and stunning color intensity.

Step 3. Activator Coat

Apply enough Activator Coat over the entire nail surface, edges and also at the tip. The Activator Coat is the most important step in the application process, as it seals and binds the layers to the nail and prevents air bubbles from forming and ensures long-lasting adhesion. Let the Activator Coat dry for at least two minutes.

Step 4. Filing & Polishing

Now you can use the fine side of the file or a buffer to buff away all bumps and imperfections and bring the nails to the desired shape and thickness. It is important to file carefully so that you do not damage the surface and nails.

Step 5. Activator Coat.

Repeat step 3. Again, apply enough Activator Coat to the entire nail and its perimeter to seal the layers optimally. Then allow the Activator Coat to dry for at least two minutes. To make sure the Activator Coat is dry, you can clean the surface of the nail with a paper towel after 2 minutes. This is to prevent the Top Coat from curing due to contamination.

Allow 2-3 minutes of waiting time between Top Coat and Activator Coat.

Step 6. Top Coat

Apply a thin layer of Top Coat evenly with 2-3 quick strokes and let it dry for at least two minutes.

Step 7. Top Coat

Repeat step 6. Apply a second, thin layer of Top Coat to the nails. Then let this dry for 2-3 minutes.
