Dipping powder is a nail modeling technique in which a special powder is applied to the nail to create a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing surface. Unlike traditional methods such as acrylic or gel, Dipping Powder does not use a UV lamp. Instead, the system consists of two main components: the powder and the activator.

The Dipping Powder consists of finely ground polymer powders that are available in a variety of colors. These powders are often enriched with pigments to allow for a wide range of color and design options. From classic nude tones to vibrant colors or glitter, there are countless options to create the look you want.

The activator is a solution that is brushed or dripped onto the applied powder coating. The activator reacts with the powder and leads to rapid curing. This creates a durable and resistant surface on the nails.

One of the great advantages of Dipping Powder is its versatility in terms of colors and designs. By using different colored powders or combining powders with glitter particles, individual looks and styles can be created. In addition, various techniques such as ombre, French manicure or nail art can be achieved with dipping powder.

Dipping Powder allows nail lovers to style their nails with a simple yet professional-looking method. It offers a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for long-lasting nail creations.

Step-by-step instructions for using Dipping Powder at home:

Step 1: Preparing the nails

• File your nails into the desired shape and shorten them if necessary. Remove your cuticles with the cuticle pusher.

Step 2: Applying the base coat

• Apply a thin layer of base coat to each nail and dip your nail into the base powder.

Step 3: Dip the nails into the color powder

• Repeat this process for each finger individually, making sure the nail is completely covered with powder.

Step 4: Activate the powder

• Brush or drizzle the activator onto each nail to cure the powder.
• Allow the activator to work for two minutes until the powder has completely hardened.

Step 5: File and shape the nails

• Use a fine nail file to evenly smooth the surface of the nails.
• File the edges of the nail to achieve the desired shape.
• Remove any bumps or excess powder.

Step 6: Reapply activator and wait 2 minutes.

Step 7: Sealing the Dipping Powder

• Apply a layer of top coat to each nail.

After completing these steps, you should be rewarded with a beautiful dipping powder manicure. Remember that practice makes perfect, so be patient and experiment with different colors and techniques to find your own unique style.

No, compared to acrylic or gel, dipping powder is gentler on the nails. It does not contain harsh chemicals and does not require the use of UV light, reducing the risk of nail damage. However, it is important to follow the application instructions carefully and take nail care into account to maintain the health of the nails.

Dipping powder can last up to four weeks, depending on proper nail care. Regular care, such as avoiding nail hardening, wearing gloves when doing household chores, and using nail oils or creams, can help maximize the durability of the dipping powder.
