What’s the difference between traditional acrylic and acrylic powder ?
Dip systems are perfect for those that do not have access to lamps or salon tools but still want to achieve a gorgeous durable acrylic manicure. Acrylic dip systems allow you to create professional acrylic results with less experience and technical logic. Dip technology also feels lighter on the nail, for those who’ve felt that acrylic was too thick or heavy on their natural nail. Acrylic dip is superior to traditional nail polish in its ability to provide durable strong wear for 2+ weeks. It’s a great alternative for those who prefer to avoid the LED or UV lamps that are required to cure gel polish and shellac. Powdered acrylic is designed to create a protective overlay on the natural nail while providing a shiny colour coat. The hard surface created is similar to acrylics but cannot be used to add significant length to the natural nail.
How long will my dipping system manicure last?
With the correct application you can expect 2-3 weeks of durable wear.
Can I apply nail tips before using acrylic dip ?
You certainly can! You can glue on a nail tip and use clear acrylic dipping powder to balance out the tip and the natural nail.
Are dipping powders sanitary ?
Dipping powders are sanitary. They do not provide an environment that bacteria can survive in. In order for bacteria to survive and spread it must be in a moist environment. If there is any moisture on your nail when dipped into the powder, it will attract the powder to it, not the other way around. The powder will not retain moisture in the jar and therefore does not create an unsanitary environment. Dipping system pots are built for continuous safe use. We hope this clears a few things up and gives you the inspo you need to take the plunge!
