When it comes to applying dipping powder , it's important to know how many coats to apply for optimal results. The right number of coats can make the difference between durable and beautiful nails or an unstable finish. In this blog, we will discuss how many layers of dipping powder are usually required to achieve strong and beautiful dip-powder nails.
Number of coats when using dip powder: The number of coats to apply when using dip powder can vary depending on the desired thickness and firmness of your nails. In general, the following guidelines apply:
-
Base coat: Apply a thin layer of base coat to your nails before you start applying the dipping powder. This helps with adhesion and extends the life of your nails.
-
Dipping powder: Dip your nails in the dipping powder and gently tap to remove any excess. Repeat this step including the layer of base coat until you have reached the desired color and opacity. Usually two to three coats are sufficient.
-
Activator: Apply a layer of activator to each nail to activate the powder and promote curing. Let it dry for 1 to 2 minutes before continuing.
-
Top coat: Apply a thin layer of top coat to each nail to protect the dip-powder nails and give them a nice shine. This makes the finish more durable and keeps it looking good for longer.
When using dipping powder, it is common to apply two to three layers of powder for durable and beautiful nails. It is important to apply each layer evenly and remove excess powder for best results. Experiment and adjust the thickness based on your personal preference, nail strength and desired results.
