Step-by-step instructions for applying "Mocha Delight + Champagne Gold" Dipping Powder

Materials:

• Mocha Delight Dipping Powder
• Champagne Gold Dipping Powder
  
• Base coat
• Activator
• Top coat
• Nail file and buffer
• Dusting brush or soft brush

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

Start by applying your base coat evenly, then dip the entire nail into “Mocha Delight.” This will serve as your foundation color, giving the nail a smooth, warm-toned base. Once the powder is set and excess is brushed away, reapply a thin layer of base coat—this time focusing only on the upper half of the nail. Dip this portion into “Champagne Gold,” ensuring the powder adheres cleanly to the upper section.

Before the base fully dries, take a soft nail brush and gently tap along the line where the two colors meet, diffusing the edge of the gold downward into the mocha. This motion softens the transition, creating a seamless ombré gradient effect that blends shimmer with depth. For more intensity, repeat the layering process: base coat on the upper half, dip into “Champagne Gold,” and blend again with your brush. Continue until you achieve the perfect gradient balance, with a luminous shimmer that melts effortlessly into the mocha base. Gently tap off the excess powder and use a clean brush to remove any leftover powder.

Be sure to cover the edges well, but do not touch the skin around the nail.

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.
