Step-by-step instructions for applying "Linen + Twizzler Berry + Crystal Clear" Dipping Powder

Materials:

• Linen Dipping Powder
• Twizzler Berry Dipping Powder
• Crystal Clear 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.

Carefully dip the entire nail into “Linen” to create a smooth, neutral base. Hold your nail at a 90-degree angle as you dip to ensure full, even coverage from cuticle to tip. Gently tap off any excess powder and use a soft brush to remove loose particles from around the cuticle area and nail edges. Allow the layer to fully set before moving on to the next step.

Once your base is ready, apply another thin coat of base liquid. While it’s still tacky, take a dotting tool (or a fine nail art brush) and dip it into “Twizzler Berry.” Using gentle pressure, create small, even polka dots across the surface of the nail. You can space them evenly for a clean, classic look or vary the placement for a more playful design. Make sure to let each dot settle before continuing, so the colors stay crisp and defined.

After the design has set, apply a final thin layer of base coat over the entire nail and dip into “Crystal Clear.” This step encapsulates and protects the design underneath, creating a flawless, glass-like finish.

Once dipped, softly tap the finger to remove excess powder and gently brush off any remaining residue for clean, defined edges.

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.
