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.
