Tutorial For Dip Powder Nails with Dip Me

Who said doing your own nails has to be complicated? With Dip Me powders and polishes you don’t need to be a professional to achieve professional results. And in just five easy steps you’ve got salon-quality nails. Amazing. And Dip Me makes your life even easier, as it offers bundles of powders, polishes and more!

What You’ll Need:

  • Dip Me Nail Degreaser
  • Base Polish Dip Me
  • Dip Me Powder (color of your choice)
  • Fluffy brush
  • Activator Polish Dip Me
  • Nail file
  • Dip Me Top Coat Polish
  • Brush Saver Dip Me Polish
  • Dip Me Vitamin Oil

Step One:

Start by pushing back your cuticles. Then apply a thin coat of Dip Me degreaser on all your nails. This product is great if you have oilier tiles and your nails seem to be having a hard time keeping the product on. The degreaser will remove any excess oiliness and prep the canvas, guaranteeing a long-lasting manicure.

Step Two:

Next grab your Dip Me base polish and apply a thin coat to one nail. It’s important to do this step one nail at a time. After you have applied the base, take your preferred powder and a brush. There are two ways to do this step. You can either pour some of the powder on the nail and then brush away the excess. Or you can dip the nail into the powder and then brush away the excess. After the excess powder has been removed, apply another thin coat of base polish and dip again for a more vibrant color.

Step Three:

Now it’s time to apply the activator, which replaces the UV lamp. This step will help to harden the blend of powder and liquid and give that gel like hardness to the nails.

Step Four:

When the blend of liquid and powders has hardened, it’s time to file the nails into the shape you desire. Also make sure to file the nail on top in order to create a smooth texture. Then repeat from steps two to four on all nails.

Step Five:

Now it’s time to apply the Dip Me top coat layer on all nails. You will need to apply two layers to ensure that the products are sealed and to add a beautiful shine. Finally, take the Dip Me Vitamin Oil and apply it on the skin around each nail. It will help to hydrate and nourish the cuticles, thanks to its combination of vitamin E, sesame oil, and Aloe Vera.

Additional Steps:

Now that your nails look perfect, it’s important you take care of your brushes. Take your Dip Me Brush Saver polish and dip your other polish brushes in it a couple of times after each use. The Brush Saver helps to clean and dissolve any unwanted residues that may harden your polish brushes.
