DND Acrylic & Powder Dip Nails - 661

If the wall is short on purple powder, DND Dip Powder #661 fills the gap. It works as dip powder and as acrylic powder.

What's included

• 1 x DND Dip Powder #661 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 #661 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

• Spring lilac manicures: purples range from soft lilac to deep plum, and both ends sell well.
• Clients who ask for purple by number 661.
• 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.

Keeping the powder clean

Dust and leftover activator can spoil a jar, so brush off nails before dipping and cap the jar when you finish. Many salons pour some into a separate dish for each client.
