Best glitter dip nail colors online store? Now you’re really ready for your dip mani! If you’ve familiarized yourself with your kit, you know that you first start with an application of the base coat. This should be applied thinly and evenly coat to about 3/4th of your nail (which we’ll get more into later) before – and we can’t stress this enough – immediately dipping into the bottle of powder at a 45-degree angle. The base coat dries up really fast, so it’s a good idea to have the bottle of powder next to your finger when doing this. In line with this, it’s also a good idea to shake the bottle of powder before you even start applying the base coat, to loosen it up.
As always, wash hands, fingertips, and under the nails well before performing any type of nail application or removal process. Prep nails according to instructions and apply a coat of Step 1 Bond at the edge of the natural nail tips. Apply a small amount of nail glue to attach the faux nail tip – being careful not to miss the sides. A small amount of glue goes a long way! There’s no need to be too generous with it. In fact, if you’ve had trouble with staying power, you might want to test decreasing the amount of glue you’re using. Press and hold the faux nail tip to the natural nail. Wait a couple minutes for the glue to set, then trim faux nail tips to your desired length. This is also the time to shape and file your nails.
I’ve combined these two dip powder nail tips since they can be done quickly one after another. First, paint on the bonder in small strokes, and be sure to spread it out so it doesn’t well up near the cuticle area. Let that sit for one minute before brushing on the resin. Apply the resin evenly, dotting with the belly of the brush applicator, rather than in strokes like nail polish. Focus on creating a clean edge just above the cuticle. Be sure to shake the closed container of powder well first. Uses the nail stick or pusher to mix the powder, and then push your finger forward into the container. Roll your finger gently. Keep your finger in the powder for five seconds. Remove your finger and tap your knuckle to knock in excess powder back into the container. Once your nail is dry, use a nail brush to remove any more extra powder over a paper towel. Find additional information at dip nail colors.
Get Greedy: “Being a hoarder is OK when it comes to brushes. A blown-out, fuzzy acrylic brush is your best dip friend and can also pull double duty as a blending brush when doing ombree with dip powder. Just be sure it’s squeaky clean.” —Jess Alexander-Snyder, educator, Kupa. Base-Ic Knowledge: “Before jumping into color, apply the base layer by only painting the middle of the nail. Leave 10 percent of the space below the cuticle unpainted, as well as both sidewalls, and then use a natural or clear dip powder. This technique helps give the nail a C-curve, strengthening the nail plate while making cuticles look less thick. —Hellen Luu, educator manager, Bio Seaweed Gel.
