Step-by-step instructions for applying "Ocean Breeze + Coconut" Dipping Powder

Materials:

• Ocean Breeze Dipping Powder
  
• Coconut 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 an even layer of base coat and dipping your entire nail into "Coconut", a clean and neutral shade that gives you a smooth, soft base to work with. Hold your nail at a 90-degree angle while dipping to ensure full coverage, then gently tap off any excess powder. Use a soft brush to sweep away loose particles around the cuticle and sidewalls for a clean surface. Allow the powder to fully set before moving to the design.

Once your "Coconut" base is secure, apply a thin layer of base coat again, but this time use a slim detailing brush. With the brush, carefully draw two straight lines across the nail, or more if you’d like to create a striped or graphic look. While the base coat is still wet, pour "Ocean Breeze" dipping powder directly over the lined sections. The powder will adhere exactly where the base coat was applied, giving you sharp, defined lines against the "Coconut" background.

Tap off any excess powder and use a clean brush to lightly dust away the loose particles without disturbing the design. If needed, repeat the process for stronger color payoff and more precise definition.

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.
