Step-by-step instructions for applying "Sunset Lover + Crystal Clear + Crystal White" Dipping Powder

Materials:

• Fandango Pink Dipping Powder
• Crystal Clear Dipping Powder
  
• Crystal White 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

Apply a thin layer of Base Coat. The first coat should be quick and does not need to be too precise. Be careful not to paint the cuticles, as this can cause air bubbles under the nails and affect adhesion.

For all nails except the middle and ring fingers, apply base coat to the entire nail and dip fully into “Sunset Lover.” Tap off excess powder and gently brush away loose particles. Apply a second thin layer of base coat and repeat the dip into “Sunset Lover” to build an even, solid color. Brush clean and set aside.

For the middle and ring fingers, apply a thin layer of base coat to the entire nail. Using a dotting tool, place three small dots in the center of the nail. Immediately dip the nail into “Crystal White” to form the flower center, then tap off excess and brush clean.

Apply another thin layer of base coat around the center dots. Using the dotting tool dipped in base coat, draw petal shapes radiating outward from the center. Once the petals are formed, dip the nail into “Sunset Lover” to define the floral design. Tap off excess powder and gently brush clean, being careful not to disturb the petals.

To encapsulate the design, apply a thin, even layer of base coat over the entire nail and dip into “Crystal Clear.” This will smooth the surface and protect the artwork. Brush away excess powder once set.

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