Instructions - Using Dip Liquids
Because our dip liquids are unlike any others on the market, these specific instructions must be followed for the fastest dry time and to achieve the BEST shine.
- Clean and push back cuticles and apply Step 1 (Prep/Bond)
- Apply Step 2 (Dip Base) in a thin manner and immediately dip your nail in the powder on an angle. (Alternatively, you can pour the powder over your finger)
- Using a cuticle stick (or dotting tool) trace around your cuticles removing powder from the area before it is dry.
- Brush any extra powder from your nails and repeat the previous step until you are satisfied with coverage.
- Apply Step 3 (Activator) liberally and let dry (approx.2 minutes) Dry time will depend on the number of layers and what type of dip powders you used (glitter, or solid/shimmer) etc.
- File and buff nails to shape. Clean nails with alcohol or cleanse with water, but make sure they are dry before moving on.
- Apply a small amount of Step 3 (Activator) on each nail.
- Wait no longer than 45 seconds, then apply 2 strokes of Step 4 (Dip Top), on each nail wiping the brush on a paper towel after every time you touch the nail.
- Go back immediately with a nice coat of Step 4 (Dip Top) on all nails and let dry. This takes approx. 2 minutes.
If your nails are taking too long to dry, your timing may be off. But, if your Activator is used very often, it may be time to replace it.
