Step-by-step instructions for applying "Stay Off The Lawn + Deep Forest Glamour" Dipping Powder

Materials:

• Stay Off The Lawn Dipping Powder
• Deep Forest Glamour 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.

For the main color, select either “Stay Off the Lawn” or “Deep Forest Glamour” and dip each nail (except the middle finger) straight into your chosen shade at a 90-degree angle to ensure a smooth, uniform coat. Tap off excess powder and gently brush away any loose particles from the cuticle area. If you prefer deeper opacity, apply a second layer of base coat and repeat the dip. Allow the color to fully set before moving forward.

For the middle finger design, begin by applying a thin layer of base coat over the entire nail. While still tacky, dip only the top one-third of the nail into “Deep Forest Glamour,” creating a precise block of deep, dimensional green. Tap off the excess and lightly brush around the edges to maintain a clean line. Once that layer is set, apply base coat to the remaining two-thirds of the nail, carefully avoiding the section already colored. Dip this lower portion into “Stay Off the Lawn,” allowing the brighter green to contrast beautifully against the darker tip. Brush away any remaining powder and make small adjustments to ensure the dividing line appears crisp and intentional.

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.
