Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you start, make sure you have all your essentials: PLA Nails dip powder, primer, base coat, activator, top coat, a nail file, a buffer, and a cuticle pusher.
Step 2: Prep Your Nails
Start by pushing back your cuticles and shaping your nails to the length and shape of your choice. Use a buffer to gently remove the shine from the surface of your nails. This helps the dip powder adhere better. Dust off any excess nail dust, then apply primer.
Step 3: Apply the Base Coat
Apply a thin layer of the base coat to one nail. It’s important to work one nail at a time to ensure you get your perfect results.
Step 4: Dip into the Powder
While the base coat is still wet, dip your nail into the PLA Nails dip powder at a 45-degree angle. Tap off any excess powder and move onto the next nail, repeating the process on all 10 of your nails.
Step 5: Repeat for Full Coverage
Once you’ve dipped all your nails, repeat steps 3 and 4 for a second layer of dip powder. This ensures a full, even coverage and a more vibrant color.
Step 6: Apply the Activator
Brush on the activator to all your nails. This step is crucial as it hardens the powder, making your manicure durable and long-lasting. Be sure not to get product on your skin in the process. Always keep a clean up brush handy.
Step 7: Shape and Buff
After the activator has dried, use a nail file to shape your nails and a buffer to smooth out any rough spots. This step is key for achieving a flawless look in the end.
Step 8: Apply the Top Coat
Apply a thin layer of the top coat to seal in your fresh dip powder nails and to give your nails a glossy finish. Let it dry completely for the full drying time to ensure you don’t mess up your fresh nails.
