Dip Powder Manicure – The Nail REVELution You’ve Been Waiting For
Dip powder nails are stronger than gel, last as long as acrylics, and don’t require UV light curing – all ingredients for nail REVELution!
Nail technicians apply color powder by brushing or pouring it on each nail; due to hygiene reasons, it should not be returned back into its main container.
Once their nails have been prepared, the technician will use a clear liquid to harden and seal them.
What is Dip Powder Manicure?
Raise your hand if you can devote the time, money and inspiration necessary for regular manicures! That is why when gel polish and acrylic nails first arrived on the beauty scene they became immensely popular.
Dipping Powder Manicures provide an equally chic but much longer-lasting alternative: Dip Powder Manicure. Similar to traditional manicures, however, rather than applying liquid polish directly, the technician first applies an antiseptic spray or other sanitizer before dipping your nails in finely milled powder from a pot.
Manicurists then apply a base coat, clear color setting powder, colored nail polish (provided no allergic reaction occurs), activator and top coat – without needing UV light for curing! Once nails have dried out they’re then brushed and filed before finishing off with another top coat application that does not require UV lighting to cure properly.
Is Dip Powder Manicure Safe?
While a dip powder manicure might not be beneficial to your nails, as long as your nail technician complies with all necessary health and safety procedures – including using clean jars for each client and applying base coats without acetone – then it should be safe.
At the same time, it’s essential to use high-quality polish and refrain from biting your nails under your manicure – both actions may damage natural nails beneath acrylics and needless biting can damage them too!
Reputable nail salons will use sanitized containers for each client in order to prevent bacteria from infiltrating the powder. Double dipping, which occurs when one dips their nails into another person’s pot without prior cleaning, could expose their nails to germs that lead to nail infections or warts – this practice should never occur! It should always be strictly forbidden!
How to Remove Dip Powder Manicure?
Dip powder nails may provide an effective alternative to gel nail polishes when it comes to longer-lasting manicures that won’t damage natural nails – yet can still be difficult to take off at home.
Experts often advise visiting a nail salon to have them professionally removed, which can reduce the risk of damaging natural nails while saving you the hassle of collecting all necessary tools for the task at home.
But if you want to try removing your nails at home, be sure that both hands are thoroughly clean. Use a nail buffer to buff away polish, soak each nail in acetone, wrap each one in foil with cotton ball saturated in acetone soaked cotton balls to expedite the process and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes before carefully peeling away.
What is the Best Time to Get Dip Powder Manicure?
Dip powder manicures typically last four weeks. Plus, unlike gel nail polishes, they’re easier to take off at home!
Before beginning, your manicurist will clean your nails and apply a clear base coat as preparation for the pigment application process. After that is completed, they’ll dunk them in a container of colored powder which has been mixed with resin-type glue in order to adhere it securely onto your natural nail layer.
Your nails will then receive a final clear top coat to preserve the color and give them a shiny sheen. To keep them healthy and look their best, be sure to reapply cuticle oil and moisturizer often to avoid damage caused by hand sanitizers or harsh chemicals.
Do not be scared to try out this trend; dipping powder manicures can look stunning on any nail type and are sure to turn heads! However, not all nail salons adhere to proper protocols when offering these services so it is crucial that you visit one that does.
