Instructions - Dip Powders

See instructions for Dip Liquids or Gel Liquids separately.

  • Always dip into the jar on an angle, lay your nail onto the powder or pour the powder over your nails.
  • Use a dusting brush to clean off excess powder after each layer is dry
  • Use a cuticle stick or dotting tool to clean around the cuticle after dipping each layer while still wet
  • When using dip powders with Foils, flakes and/or chunky glitters, pat down the layer with your finger or a piece of plastic wrap to make the layers flat.
  • Always encapsulate any dip powder other than a solid with clear dip powder before buffing/filing.  Don't risk filing color off your glitters or filing off foils, flakes or shimmers.  Clear dip powder will protect the dip powder.
  • At least two layers of dip powder (plus clear) is recommended, but some prefer more layers.
