Dip nail polish is a type of manicure that involves dipping the nails into a jar of powder in the desired color, followed by a base coat, activator, and top coat to create a long-lasting, durable finish. Here are some details about dip nail polish products, including positive and negative aspects, and ingredients or materials:
Positive aspects:
- Dip nail polish can last longer than gel manicures.
- Dip nail polish can offer superb protection to natural nails with vibrant colors and finishes.
- Some dip powder systems, such as SNS, are designed for optimum nail health and include powder, bases, and sealers containing carefully selected ingredients that are known to nourish the nail bed and promote healthy growth and resilience.
Negative aspects:
- Dip powder is closely related to acrylic powder, and both require a removal process that is tough on your nails.
- Dip powder isnt exactly the healthiest choice you can make for your nails. Some cheaper dip powders can contain MMD, which is extremely harmful to natural nails and banned in NYC.
- Double dipping, which can spread bacteria and other germs from one person to another, should be avoided.
Ingredients or materials:
- Some common toxic ingredients found in many nail polishes and cosmetics, such as formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate (DBP), are not present in SNS products.
- Dip powder doesnt use any acrylic nail glue, which can include questionable chemicals.
- Some non-toxic nail polish brands, such as 100% Pure, are marketed as being free of 10 of the most harmful leading polish ingredients.
