This page collects Chisel acrylic and dipping powder jars by tag, and the jars it groups are not open to order at the moment. Product pages always show their own status and stock, so open a listing to check it. If you are looking for a powder to order now, the cross-brand dip and acrylic pages on DTK list the lines that are currently on sale.
Some powders are sold as acrylic and dip powder, and the maker's label says which services it supports. Dip work uses a liquid system with a base, an activator and a top coat and no lamp. Acrylic work mixes the powder with a liquid monomer into a bead that air-sets. Follow the label of the exact jar you buy rather than assuming every powder works both ways.
A dip service needs the powder plus the brand's liquid system, which usually means a prep or bond liquid, a base, an activator and a top coat, and often a brush saver to keep the brushes soft. Use the liquids made for the powder's brand, apply thin layers, brush off loose powder between dips and follow each bottle's directions for the order of the steps.
An acrylic service needs the powder, a liquid monomer, a dappen dish, an acrylic brush and a primer suited to your prep. Prep the nail, prime it, then pick up a bead with the brush, place it and shape it, keeping the product off the skin. Acrylic sets in the air, so it does not need a lamp.
The cross-brand dip powder page groups SNS, OPI, LDS, Kiara Sky, NuGenesis, DND and DC dip jars and links each brand's own page. The cross-brand acrylic page does the same for acrylic powders and EMA monomer from LAVIS, V Beauty Pure, CND, Mia Secret, Young Nails and others. Both pages are a good place to find a replacement shade.
