Dip Application Instructions:

1. Prep your nails by applying pH Bonder and Bond. 

2. Apply Base Coat and dip your nail in your preferred dip powder. Tap off the excess and after 30 seconds, brush off to remove the excess powder. Repeat this step to create your preferred layers.

3. Apply Base Coat to the areas where you want to apply the Designer Flakes.

4. Apply the Designer Flakes using a brush/silicone tool and dab them on the nails.

5. To protect the Designer Flakes, cap them in clear powder. We recommend our Dip & Dap Powder - DP01 Clear.

6. Once the nails are dry, brush off the excess powder and apply your Activator.

7. File/buff your nails and wipe the dust with alcohol.

8. Apply Top Coat.

9. Apply Nourish Oil to rejuvenate the cuticles.

Acrylic Application Instructions:

1. Prep your nails with Ultra Bond Primer to extend the longevity of your manicure, then add Nail Tips for extra length. 

2. Dip your brush into our slow-setting monomer and push it all the way down to make sure the bubbles go away. Then, brush it against the side of the bowl to remove excess liquid. 

3.  Dip your brush into your preferred acrylic powder.

4. Apply the bead to your nails.

5. Dip your brush into the designer flakes and apply them to the nails.

6. Air dry. Once dried, apply the No Cleanse Top Coat, then cure.

Removal Instructions:

1. Trim off any extra nail length with a nail cutter.

2. Buff off the shiny top layer, and avoid buffing your natural nail bed. 

Pro Tip: Before applying the acetone, rub petroleum jelly around your cuticle and fingertips.  It will keep the skin around your nails from drying out!

• Foil Method
Thoroughly soak a cotton ball in acetone. Afterward, place it over your nail and tightly wrap your nail in aluminum foil. Do this for each finger and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Lastly, remove the foil, and gently rub the cotton ball along with the foil on your nails.

• Soak Off Method
Pour acetone into a small bowl and soak your nails inside for 15 to 20 minutes. If excess polish remains, soak it in for another 5 minutes.

3. Lighty buff the surface of your nails. Afterward, shape your nails with a nail file and create your desired shape. Then, nourish your nails with cuticle oil.
