what is dip powder

Dip powder nails, also known as SNS nails, are a type of manicure that involves "dipping" the nail into a colored powder acrylic mixed with a glue-type resin. This creates a more durable and long-lasting finish compared to traditional acrylic nails, as the resulting nail is stronger and less likely to chip or break. The process involves applying a base coat, dipping the nails into the powder, and then sealing with a top coat. Dip powder nails are known for their glossy finish and natural-looking appearance, and they can last up to two or three weeks, depending on individual nail growth and activities. The technique is considered to be more lightweight than acrylic, allowing it to wear and tear better and last longer. Unlike gel polish, which is cured onto the nail using light, dip powder nails do not require UV or LED light for curing. This technique is a popular choice for those looking for a long-lasting and low-maintenance manicure option.
