DND Dap Dip Powder - #002 Super White 16oz

A client wants super white and you run dip and acrylic: DND Dap Dip #002 Super White handles both. It comes in a 16 oz jar.

DND calls Dap Dip its premium powder. It works with dip liquids and with monomer, and Dap means dip in Vietnamese. The 16 oz size is the one for salons that go through a colour quickly.

In the box

• 1 x DND Dap Dip #002 Super White powder, 16 oz jar
• Colour powder only: dip liquids, monomer and brushes are separate

Why salons reorder it

• 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.
• Works with the DND dip steps: bonder, base, activator and top are sold separately, so you can restock each one on its own schedule.

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 Dap Dip #002 Super White, 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

• Salons that use Super White every day and want the 16 oz size.
• Techs who work with monomer as well as dip liquids.
• Pink and white sets, French work and overlays that call for super white.

Choosing between the options

Dip or acrylic? Dip uses a bonder, base and activator with no monomer. Acrylic uses monomer and a brush. This powder works for both, so choose by the service you run.

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.
