Step-by-step instructions for applying "Sweater Weather + Sky Drop + Baby Pink" Dipping Powder

Materials:

• Sweater Weather Dipping Powder
• Sky Drop Dipping Powder
• Baby Pink Dipping Powder
• Base coat
• Activator
• Top coat
• Nail file and buffer
• Dusting brush or soft brush

Preparation

File your nails into the desired shape and gently push back your cuticles.

For optimal adhesion, lightly roughen/match the natural nails with a buffer block or the fine side of a file before application.

Be sure to remove invisible cuticle and skin debris as well to avoid lifting.

Do not apply oils or creams before use.

Step 1: Base coat

Apply a thin layer of Base Coat. The first coat should be quick and does not need to be too precise. Be careful not to paint the cuticles, as this can cause air bubbles under the nails and affect adhesion.

Start by dipping your nails into "Sweater Weather" as the base color, ensuring even coverage by tapping off excess powder and brushing away any loose particles. For the accent nails, use the color block method with tilted angles: apply base coat, then tilt your nail and dip the top portion diagonally into "Sweater Weather," followed immediately by tilting and dipping the opposite angle into "Sky Drop" to create a split-color effect at the top. Once that layer is done, apply base coat to the middle section of the nail and dip into "Baby Pink" to  complete the color block design.

Tap off any excess powder and brush away loose particles. Repeat this process for each nail, working one at a time: paint the nail, then immediately dip it into the powder before moving on to the next.

Be sure to cover the edges well, but do not touch the skin around the nail.

Step 2: Base Coat & Color Powder

Repeat step 1 for optimal coverage, adhesion and beautiful and stunning color intensity.

Step 3: Activator Coat

Apply enough Activator Coat over the entire nail surface, edges and also at the tip. The Activator is the most important step in the application process because it seals and binds the layers to the nail, preventing air bubbles from forming and ensuring long-lasting adhesion. Allow the Activator Coat to dry for at least two minutes.

Step 4: Filing & Polishing

Now you can use the fine side of the file or a buffer to buff away all bumps and imperfections and bring the nails to the desired shape and thickness. It is important to file carefully so that you do not damage the surface and nails.

Step 5: Activator Coat

Repeat step 3. Again, apply enough Activator Coat to the entire nail and its perimeter to seal the layers optimally. Then allow the Activator Coat to dry for at least two minutes. To make sure the Activator Coat is dry, you can clean the surface of the nail with a paper towel after 2 minutes. This is to prevent the Top Coat from curing due to contamination.

Allow 2-3 minutes of waiting time between the Top Coat and Activator Coat.

Step 6: Top Coat

Apply a thin layer of Top Coat evenly with 2-3 quick strokes and allow it to dry for at least two minutes.

Step 7: Top Coat

Repeat step 6. Apply a second, thin coat of Top Coat to the nails. Then let this dry for 2-3 minutes.
