Preparation

File your nails into the desired shape and gently push back your cuticles.

For optimal adhesion, lightly roughen/match the natural nails with a buffer block or the fine side of a file before application.

Be sure to remove invisible cuticle and skin debris as well, to avoid lifting.

Do not apply oils or creams before use.

Step 1: Base coat

Apply a thin, even layer of Base Coat to the entire nail. The first coat should be quick and does not need to be too precise. Be careful not to touch the cuticles or surrounding skin, as this can cause lifting and affect adhesion.

Dip all nails fully into “Baby Pink.” Tap off excess powder and gently brush away loose particles. Apply a second thin layer of base coat and repeat the dip into “Baby Pink” to build a smooth, even base. Brush clean and allow the layer to set before moving on to the design.

Once the base is ready, apply a fresh thin layer of base coat and allow it to remain slightly tacky. Using a small, soft brush, lightly pick up “Sunset Lover” and gently sprinkle it onto the left side of the nail, keeping the application soft and not fully covering the base. Leave some of the Baby Pink visible.

Next, using the same technique, pick up “Extra Day” and lightly sprinkle it onto the right side of the nail, again keeping it soft and not fully saturated. Make sure to leave a small empty space in the center between the two colors to create separation.

Apply a thin line of base coat in the center gap, then use a tweezer or applicator to place small pieces of gold foil along that middle area. Press gently to secure the foil without spreading it into the colored sections.

After placing the foil, apply base coat to the remaining empty spaces between the colors and dip those areas into “Crystal Clear.” This helps blend the design while keeping the center clean and defined.

To finish, apply a final thin, even layer of base coat over the entire nail and dip fully into “Crystal Clear.” This encapsulates the entire design, smooths the surface, and protects all layers underneath for a glossy, long-lasting result.

Be sure to cover the edges well, but avoid touching the surrounding skin to ensure proper adhesion and a clean, polished finish.

Step 2: Base Coat & Color Powder

Repeat step 1 for optimal coverage, adhesion and beautiful and stunning color intensity.

Step 3: Activator Coat

Apply enough Activator Coat over the entire nail surface, edges and also at the tip. The Activator is the most important step in the application process because it seals and binds the layers to the nail, preventing air bubbles from forming and ensuring long-lasting adhesion. Allow the Activator Coat to dry for at least two minutes.

Step 4: Filing & Polishing

Now you can use the fine side of the file or a buffer to buff away all bumps and imperfections and bring the nails to the desired shape and thickness. It is important to file carefully so that you do not damage the surface and nails.

Step 5: Activator Coat

Repeat step 3. Again, apply enough Activator Coat to the entire nail and its perimeter to seal the layers optimally. Then allow the Activator Coat to dry for at least two minutes. To make sure the Activator Coat is dry, you can clean the surface of the nail with a paper towel after 2 minutes. This is to prevent the Top Coat from curing due to contamination.

Allow 2-3 minutes of waiting time between Top Coat and Activator Coat.

Step 6: Top Coat

Apply a thin layer of Top Coat evenly with 2-3 quick strokes and allow it to dry for at least two minutes.

Step 7: Top Coat

Repeat step 6. Apply a second, thin coat of Top Coat to the nails. Then let this dry for 2-3 minutes.

And voila! With these simple steps, you will create beautiful, long-lasting nails with the 'Baby Pink + Sunset Lover + Extra Day + Crystal Clear' dipping powder. Have fun with your beautiful nails!
