Step-by-step instructions for applying "Girly Pink + Christmas Red" Dipping Powder

Materials:

• Girly Pink Dipping Powder
• Christmas Red Dipping Powder
  
• Base coat
• Activator
• Top coat
• Nail file and buffer
• Dusting brush or soft brush

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

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.

Dip the nail fully into “Girly Pink.” Hold the finger at a 90-degree angle to achieve smooth, even coverage from cuticle to free edge. Gently tap off excess powder and use a soft brush to remove any loose particles around the sidewalls and cuticle area. Allow this base layer to set before moving on to the design.

Once the base color is secure, apply a very thin layer of base coat only where you want the heart design to appear, keeping the rest of the nail dry to avoid unwanted powder adhesion. Using a dotting tool, dip the tip lightly into the base coat and carefully draw a heart shape on the nail—start with two small dots for the top curves, then gently pull them downward to form the point of the heart. Work slowly and refine the shape as needed while the base coat remains tacky.

While the heart outline is still wet, dip just the design area into “Christmas Red,” or gently pour the powder over the heart to keep the shape crisp and controlled. Tap off excess powder and softly brush away any stray particles, making sure the edges of the heart are clean and well-defined. If needed, you can repeat this step to intensify the color and sharpen the design.

Be sure to cover the edges well, but do not touch the skin around the 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 is the most important step in the application process because it seals and binds the layers to the nail, preventing air bubbles from forming and ensuring long-lasting adhesion. Allow the Activator Coat to 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 allow it to dry for at least two minutes.

Step 7: Top Coat

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