DIP POWDER MANICURE:
Indulge in the allure of Dip Powder—a soak-off system that provides over 2 weeks of resilient strength and flawless color. Experience the effortlessness of air-drying, freeing you from the need for LED/UV lamps. Dip into a world where beauty meets simplicity.
1. Prep your nails: Lightly buff nails and cleanse with 70%+ alcohol to remove oils and dust.
2. Apply one coat of Dip Liquid #1 Prep to all fingernails and allow 60 seconds air-dry time.
3. Apply a thin coat of Dip Liquid #2 Base on 75% of the nail, leaving space at the cuticle, then dip into Dip Powder #0 Natural at a 45° angle, tapping off excess powder. Repeat for all nails and allow 60 seconds for air-drying.
4. Apply a thin coat of Dip Liquid #2 Base to the entire nail, immediately dip into the desired Dip Powder Color at a 45° angle, tap off excess powder, repeat for all nails, and allow 60 seconds for air-drying. Note: shake jar well before use.
5. Repeat steps 4 until coverage and desired opacity is reached.
6. Apply a final thin coat of Dip Liquid #2 Base to the entire nail, immediately dip into Dip Powder #00 Clear at a 45° angle, tap off excess powder, repeat for all nails, and allow 60 seconds for air-drying. Note: shake jar well before use.
7. Apply Dip Liquid #3 Activator to all nails and allow 60 seconds for air-drying.
8. File, buff, and shape nails as desired, then reapply a second layer of Dip Liquid #3 Activator to all nails and allow 60 seconds for air-drying.
9. Apply two consecutive coats of Dip Liquid #4 Top, ensuring the second coat is applied immediately after the first. After applying the two coats, allow 5 minutes for air-drying.

CARE TIPS:
Preserving Dip Liquids: Keep your bottles of Dip Liquids in optimal condition by cleansing the bottle neck and brush with Dip Liquid #5 Brush Cleaner (or 70%+ Alcohol) after each use, and ensure a tight seal to prevent the Dip Liquid inside from drying and solidifying.
Do Not Force Stuck Bottles To Open: Avoid forcing stuck bottles to open, as it may lead to glass breakage. To open, soak the bottle in warm water for 2-3 minutes, then swipe #5 Brush Saver or 70%+ Alcohol around the rim, on any solidified Dip Liquid and open slowly. If the bottle remains stuck, repeat the process with warmer water.
Cleaning Hardened Brushes: Clean hardened brushes by inserting them into a bottle of #5 Brush Saver or soaking in 70%+ Alcohol and allowing a few minutes to dissolve.
