SNS nails, also known as dip powder nails, are a type of manicure that uses a powder dipping system to create durable and long-lasting nails with a natural-looking finish. SNS is actually a brand of dip powder, similar to how OPI and Essie are brands of nail polish. The process involves applying a base coat, dipping the nails into the colored powder, and then sealing it with a top coat.
Here are some key features of SNS nails:
- No UV light: Unlike gel manicures that require a UV or LED light to cure the polish, SNS nails do not need any curing time under a light source.
- No odor: SNS products are odorless, making them a good option for those who are sensitive to chemical odors.
- No liquid or primer: The SNS process does not involve the use of liquid or primer, simplifying the application process.
- Easy removal: SNS nails can be removed by soaking them in a similar way to gel polish.
- Added strength and length: SNS provides a bit of extra strength and length to the nails while maintaining a lightweight feel.
- Thinner than acrylic, thicker than gel polish: SNS nails are thinner than acrylic nails but thicker than gel polish, offering a balance between strength and a natural-looking finish.
