DND Acrylic & Powder Dip Nails - 697

DND Dip Powder #697 goes on as a dip or with monomer as acrylic, in a brown metallic tone. Keep one 1.5 oz jar at the station.

In the box

• 1 x DND Dip Powder #697 powder, 1.5 oz jar
• Colour powder only: dip liquids, monomer and brushes are separate

Why salons reorder it

• Easy to keep on the wall: a dry powder in a capped jar stores neatly next to your other colours.
• Two services, one jar: use it as a dip powder, or with monomer for an acrylic application.
• Ordered by number: the number on the jar is the number on the reorder, which keeps client records simple.

Details at a glance

Using it step by step

1. Clean up first: shape the free edge, remove cuticle from the plate and dehydrate the nail.
2. Build the dip layers: use bonder, then base, then press into DND Dip Powder #697, tapping off the loose powder after each dip.
3. Set the powder: coat with activator so the layers harden.
4. Refine: file away any bulk and smooth the surface with a buffer.
5. Top it: apply top coat from your dip kit in thin, even strokes.

Best for

• Moody pedicures: brown looks richer on deeper skin tones and softer on fair ones.
• Clients who ask for brown metallic by number 697.
• Salons that run dip and acrylic and want one colour jar for both.

Choosing between the options

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.
