Step-by-Step Dipping Powder Nail Tutorial

Step 1: Prep Your Nails

  • Trim, shape, and buff nails for a smooth surface.

  • Push back cuticles gently.

  • Clean nails with alcohol to remove oils (ensures better adhesion).

Step 2: Apply a Base Coat

  • Use a non-sticky base coat for dipping powder.

  • Apply a thin, even layer—avoid touching the cuticles.

Step 3: Dip into Powder

  • While the base coat is still wet, dip your nail into the powder at a 45° angle.

  • Tap off excess powder and repeat for full coverage.

Step 4: Seal with Activator

  • Apply activator liquid to harden the powder.

  • Wait 2 minutes, then buff for a smooth finish.

Step 5: Finish with Top Coat

  • Apply a glossy or matte top coat for shine and protection.

  • Avoid water for at least 1 hour for maximum durability.

What is the best way to store Nail Gel?

Nail Gel Polish is light sensitive, so if it’s exposed to undesirable light there is a possibility that your gel polish could get clumpy and cure in the bottle. If you love our product as much as we do keep it safe from clumping! Make sure you’re storing your polishes in a dry and cool area.
