Dip manicures use a combination of colorful, fine-grain powder

Dip powder manicure is somewhere between a regular manicure and a fake acrylic nail. Dip manicures use a combination of colorful, fine-grain powder, adhesives, topcoats, and buffing to achieve a sturdy, acrylic-like finish. It looks like a magical dust that transforms into an even coat of paint. The results are incredibly durable, natural-looking.

Nails are filed, shaped and cleansed. The nail plate is brushed over with a bond polish to make sure the color sticks, and followed with a base coat. Then, one fingernail is dipped into a jar of highly pigmented powder in your chosen color. The process is repeated a couple of times depending on the color and product to achieve your desired look. Then, the rough, powdery layers are transformed into a smooth, glossy finish once a sealant is applied. The best part: Unlike the classic gel manicure, dip nails dry in seconds — no UV lamp or dryer required.
