Step-by-step instructions for applying "Senorita + Marshmallow + Crystal Clear" Dipping Powder

Materials:

• Senorita Dipping Powder
• Marshmallow 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.

Next, immediately dip your finger gently, at a 45-degree angle, into the color powder "Senorita," or "Marshmallow," and tap off the excess powder. Then 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.

Apply a thin layer of base coat to the nail and create a design. Once the base coat is dry, you can create a design on your nail if you wish. This could be stripes, a French tip, or even negative space. Then, dip the painted nail into your chosen color powder, "Senorita," making sure to fully coat the part of the nail with the base coat. Gently tap off any excess powder.

Ready for some extra glitz? Here comes the sparkle! Dip your nails individually into the "Crystal Clear" glitter powder. You can either fully coat the nail in glitter for an all-over sparkle effect or use it to create specific accents within your design. Again, tap off any excess glitter powder.

For a bolder look, you can repeat the dipping process with both "Senorita" and "Crystal Clear" powders. Just remember to let the powder dry completely between dips.

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.

And voila! With these simple steps, you will create beautiful, long-lasting nails with the 'Senorita + Marshmallow + Crystal Clear' dipping powder. Have fun with your beautiful nails!
