Using our Low Odor Formula Dip Liquids

When using our Low Odor Formula dip liquids, these specific instructions must be followed for the fastest dry time and to achieve the BEST shine. These consist of the white plastic bottles.  Note only the Dip Base and Dip Top are low odor.  You can use any of our Activators with this system.

  1. Clean and push back cuticles and apply a Bond/Primer.
  2. Apply 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 or lay your finger onto the powder).
  3. Using a cuticle stick (or dotting tool) trace around your cuticles removing powder from the area before it is dry.
  4. Brush any extra powder from your nails and repeat the previous step until you are satisfied with coverage.
  5. Apply 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.  Note: Our Low Odor Dip Base dries fast!
  6. File and buff nails to shape.  Clean nails with alcohol or cleanse with water, but make sure they are completely dry before moving on.
  7. Apply a quick coat of Activator to all nails.
  8. Wait no longer than 30 seconds then (without wiping) apply 1 coat of Low Odor Dip Top to all nails.  (Wipe Dip Top brush on a paper towel before putting it into your bottle to avoid contamination).
  9. You may apply an additional layer of Dip Top, but you then need to first apply another layer of Activator.  (All layers of Dip Top require a layer of Activator to dry properly). If you are adding more than one layer of Dip Top, the Activator must be added after the first Dip Top is added but NOT completely dry.  When it begins to crinkle, add the Activator then top coat as above in Step 8. 
  10. Dry in approximately 3-4 minutes. 

NOTE:  These liquids do require Activator for the Dip Top to dry (but unlike our Original Formula Dip Liquids, Activator is necessary to dry each layer of Dip Top.)
