Everything you need to know about dipping powder – the revolution in nail design!

What is dipping powder and how does it work?

Dipping powder is a popular alternative to shellac or gel nails, offering you the opportunity to create strong and long-lasting nails – without UV or LED lamps. The process is simple: After applying a special base coat to your nails, you dip them directly into a fine colored powder. The powder particles adhere to the sticky base, and by repeatedly dipping, the color layer is built up. Finally, a sealing coat is applied, which ensures long-lasting shine.

The best part? They dry in the air, so you don't need a UV lamp. This not only saves time but also protects your nails from potential UV damage.

The advantages of dipping powder:

• Long-lasting: Dipping Powder lasts up to three weeks – without chipping or fading.
• Gentle: Since no UV or LED lamp is required, the application is particularly gentle on your nails.
• Strong and resilient: Despite its simple application, Dipping Powder provides a robust layer that protects and strengthens your natural nails.
• Wide range of colors: Dipping powder is available in a huge selection of colors and effects, from soft nude tones to bold and shimmering colors.

Dipping Powder vs. Gel and Shellac – Which is better?

You might be wondering if dipping powder is really better than gel or shellac. That depends on your needs, of course. Dipping powder is ideal if you're looking for a method that's quick, gentle, and long-lasting. Compared to shellac or gel, dipping powder is often easier to remove and less damaging to your nails.

Gel nails, however, offer a thicker layer and are ideal for nail extensions. Shellac, on the other hand, combines the advantages of gel and nail polish but requires a UV lamp to cure. Dipping powder falls right in between – it's stronger than traditional nail polish but easier to apply than gel.

How do you apply dipping powder correctly?

Applying dipping powder is easy, even if you're not a nail professional:

1. Preparation: Clean and shape your nails. Remove any old polish and degrease your nails for perfect adhesion.
2. Base Coat: Apply a thin layer of base coat to each nail.
3. Dipping: Dip your nail into the dipping powder. Make sure the entire nail is well covered.
4. Repeat: For a more intense color or a thicker layer, you can repeat the process.
5. Sealing: After drying, apply a sealing varnish to protect the color and provide shine.

With a little practice, you can create beautiful and professional nails in just a few minutes – without expensive salon visits.

Removing dipping powder – here's how

Another advantage of dipping powder: It's easier to remove than gel. You only need some acetone and cotton pads.

1. Moisten a cotton pad with acetone and place it on the nail.
2. Wrap your finger in aluminum foil to keep the acetone on the nail.
3. Wait about 10 minutes until the dipping powder has dissolved, and then carefully remove it with a nail stick.

Tips for perfect dipping powder nails

• Pay attention to proper nail care: Your nails should be clean and free of oil before application so that the dipping powder adheres optimally.

• Thin layers: Apply the base coat and powder in thin layers to achieve an even and long-lasting result.

• Experiment with colors: Dipping powder comes in many colors and effects – feel free to get creative!
