Step-by-step instructions for applying "Warm Olive + Crystal White + Crystal Clear" Dipping Powder

 

 

Materials:

• Warm Olive Dipping Powder
• Crystal White Dipping Powder
• Crystal Clear 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 a smooth, even layer of base coat to the ring finger and pointer finger, then dip the entire nail into “Warm Olive.” Hold the nail at a 90-degree angle while dipping to ensure full coverage, and gently tap off the excess. Use a soft brush to sweep away loose powder around the cuticle and edges for a clean finish. Repeat this step for a second layer to build opacity and depth, giving the nails a rich, velvety base.

For the remaining nails, create the cross-block design by applying a thin layer of base coat diagonally across the upper half of the nail. While the base coat is still tacky, dip this section into “Warm Olive,” making sure the diagonal line is sharp and even. After brushing away excess powder, apply base coat to the opposite half of the nail and dip it into “Crystal White” to form the contrasting block. Once both halves are set, apply a final layer of base coat over the entire nail and dip into “Crystal Clear” to encapsulate the design. Lightly press down on the powder surface with a silicone tool or plastic wrap to smooth out any texture, then brush away excess dust. This technique locks in the crisp color-block effect while providing a protective, glass-like finish. 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.
