Preparation is key to achieving flawless nails with dipping powder application. Begin by shaping your nails to your desired form and gently pushing back the cuticles. To ensure optimal adhesion, delicately roughen the surface of your natural nails using a buffer block or the fine side of a file. It's crucial to remove any invisible cuticle and skin debris to prevent lifting. Avoid applying oils or creams prior to beginning the process.
Step 1: Marble
Pour "Senorita," "Latte," "Smooth Avocado," and "Sunset Lover" into an open container or a dip tray. To create a marble look, mix or swirl the powders using a toothpick or other pointed object.
Step 2: Base Coat
Apply a thin layer of base coat, ensuring to avoid painting the cuticles to prevent air bubbles and ensure proper adhesion. Press the nail flat against the powdered marble quickly.Repeat this process for each nail, working on one nail at a time.
Step 3: Activator Coat
Apply a sufficient amount of activator coat to seal and bind the layers to the nail surface, preventing the formation of air bubbles and ensuring long-lasting adhesion. Allow the activator coat to dry for at least two minutes.
Step 4: Filing & Polishing
Use a fine file or buffer to smooth away any imperfections, and shape the nails to your desired thickness carefully.
Step 5: Activator Coat
Repeat the activator coat application process to further seal and optimize layer adhesion. Allow the coat to dry for at least two minutes, ensuring the surface is clean to prevent contamination.
Step 6: Top Coat
Apply a thin, even layer of top coat and allow it to dry for a minimum of two minutes.
Step 7: Top Coat
Repeat the top coat application process for added protection and shine, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly.
