What you need for your application:
Nice to have:
- Primer
- Nail & Cuticle Oil
- Brush Cleaner & Softener
- Care lotions should not be used before application, as the greasy surface of the nails reduces adhesion.
- Make sure you only paint one nail at a time and immediately dip it into the powder before switching to the next finger.
- Only apply a thin layer of the liquids at a time to avoid unwanted deformation or thickening.
- Gently brush off the excess powder after each application.
- Take your time between each step to achieve the best results.
- Take care not to coat the cuticles as well to avoid air bubbles under the layers.
- Observe the specified waiting times between Activator - filing - top coat.
- Apply enough Activator Coat so that the powder adheres optimally and no air bubbles form at the edges. Don't forget the tip and edges of the nail.
This is how it's done
File your nails into the desired shape and carefully push back the cuticles with the manicure stick. Roughen the nail surface lightly with a buffer and remove the thin layer of cuticle at the base of the nail plate.
Apply a thin layer of base coat and dip your nails into the base powder. This protects your nails from discolouration and creates a stable structure that makes your dipping manicure even more durable. You can easily remove excess powder with a brush.
Apply another thin layer of base coat and dip your nails in your favourite colour powder. Repeat this step for a particularly opaque result. You can remove any excess powder with a brush.
Apply a generous coat of Activator and leave to dry for 2 minutes. You can then smooth out any unevenness with a file and file the nails into shape again. Apply a second coat of Activator and leave to dry for 2 minutes.
All that's left to do is add the necessary shine: apply the first coat of top coat and leave to dry for 2 minutes. Then apply a second coat. After a further 2 minutes drying time, your manicure is ready to shine!
After the wearing time
Everything comes to an end, but we're making it extra easy for you to say goodbye: with the community-inspired remover tray, your dipping manicure will almost melt away and your nails will be ready for the next design adventure!
