DND Acrylic & Powder Dip Nails - 504

A client wants pink and you run dip and acrylic: DND Dip Powder #504 handles both. It comes in a 1.5 oz jar.

What's included

• 1 x DND Dip Powder #504 powder, 1.5 oz jar
• Colour powder only: dip liquids, monomer and brushes are separate

What it does well

• Works with the DND dip steps: bonder, base, activator and top are sold separately, so you can restock each one on its own schedule.
• No lamp for the dip: a dip service sets with its activator, so the powder itself needs no LED or UV light.
• Fine for colour work: pigment is already in the powder, so there is no polish layer to add over the colour.

Product details

Application steps

1. For an acrylic service: prep the nail, then pick up a bead of DND Dip Powder #504 on a brush wet with monomer.
2. Place the bead: lay it on the nail and pat it into shape, working away from the cuticle.
3. Let it harden: wait for the acrylic to set before you touch it with a file.
4. Shape: file the shape, then buff the surface smooth.
5. Finish: seal with the top coat you normally use for acrylic sets.

Where it fits

• Everyday short square sets: pink is the colour family most clients rebook without thinking twice.
• Clients who ask for pink by number 504.
• Salons that run dip and acrylic and want one colour jar for both.

Compared with the alternatives

If you only run gel services, a gel polish is the simpler buy. If you run dip or acrylic, a colour powder like this one goes straight into your existing routine.

Removing it

File through the top layer, soak the nails in acetone until the powder softens, then ease it away with a pusher. Avoid scraping, which is what roughens the natural plate.
