DND Acrylic & Powder Dip Nails - 698

For purple metallic sets without a lamp, reach for DND Dip Powder #698. Dip the nail, or build with monomer if the service is acrylic.

What's included

• 1 x DND Dip Powder #698 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 #698 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 metallic by number 698.
• 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.

Check the colour first

Screens show powder colour differently, and a jar looks different from a finished nail. Make a swatch on a tip before the full set.
