What What Are Dip Powder Nails?​

Dip powder nails—also called SNS nails—are a hybrid between gel nail polish and acrylic extensions that involve "dipping" the nail into a carton of pigmented powder. The powder is then topped with a clear sealant for a longer-lasting manicure.

What are the benefits of dipping powders?

There are several benefits to using dipping powders for artificial nails. One of the main benefits is that they tend to be more durable and long-lasting than traditional acrylic nails. Because the powder is already mixed with the liquid solution, the resulting nail is stronger and less likely to chip or break. 

  • No curing with UV lights: One advantage of dipping powder nails over gel nails is that your hands don't have to be cured by UV lights, and your nails still dry in minutes. 

  • Wide range of color choices: With a growing demand for dipping powder nails, brands are scrambling to market with endless color options. Just like traditional nail polish, you wouldn't have any trouble finding the colors of your choice.

  • Great for nail designs: your technicians can also get very creative with nail design because you can dip, and sprinkle powders on your nails. Generally, it's a lot more simple to create beautiful nails design with dipping powder compared to acrylic nails. 

  • Less damaging to nails: Dipping powder nails also tend to be less damaging to the natural nail than acrylics, which can cause the nail to become weak and brittle over time. 

How long do dipping powder manicures last?

 

Dipping powder manicures can last up to two or three weeks, depending on the individual's nail growth and activities. This means that it is less likely to chip or break, and can therefore last longer without needing to be touched up. However, like any type of artificial nail, a dipping powder manicure will eventually need to be removed and redone to maintain a fresh, healthy appearance.

How should you take care of your dipping powder manicure?

​​

To take care of your dipping powder manicure, it is important to avoid activities that could damage the nails, such as typing too hard on a keyboard or using your nails as tools. It is also a good idea to avoid exposing the nails to water for extended periods, as this can cause the powder to become soft and weak. 

To keep the nails looking their best, it is recommended to apply cuticle oil or moisturiser to the nails daily to avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaning products that could damage the finish. Additionally, it is a good idea to have your dipping powder nails touched up every two or three weeks to maintain a fresh, healthy appearance.
