DND DC Acrylic & Dip Powder - DC045 Pepperwood
Couldn't load pickup availability
A client wants cool french-inspired purple with gray undertones and you run dip and acrylic: DND DC #045 Pepperwood handles both. It comes in a 1.6 oz (45 g) jar.
DND describes this shade like this: A cool French-inspired purple with gray undertones.
The number and name match DC gel #045 Pepperwood, so a powder client and a gel client can ask for the same colour by the same number.
What's included
- 1 x DND DC #045 Pepperwood powder, 1.6 oz (45 g) 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.

Application steps
- For an acrylic service: prep the nail, then pick up a bead of DND DC #045 Pepperwood on a brush wet with monomer.
- Place the bead: lay it on the nail and pat it into shape, working away from the cuticle.
- Let it harden: wait for the acrylic to set before you touch it with a file.
- Shape: file the shape, then buff the surface smooth.
- Finish: seal with the top coat you normally use for acrylic sets.
Where it fits
- Fall bookings: purples range from soft lilac to deep plum, and both ends sell well.
- Clients who ask for cool french-inspired purple with gray undertones by number 045.
- 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.
