About this treatment
Dipping powder is a nail enhancement system that has become a mainstay of the salon. Unlike traditional acrylic or gel extensions, dipping powder offers a different route to a durable colour finish — the nail is dipped into a fine coloured powder and sealed, rather than cured under a lamp.
KD Nails offers dipping powder on natural nails and as a dipping powder extension, using SNS dipping powder.
Who it suits
- Anyone who wants a hard-wearing colour without a UV or LED lamp cure.
- Natural nails that need a little extra strength.
- Clients who prefer a slightly softer, less high-gloss finish.
In the appointment
- 01The natural nail is cleaned, shaped and prepped.
- 02A bonding base is applied to each nail.
- 03The nail is dipped into the coloured powder, and the step is repeated to build depth.
- 04The surface is filed smooth and refined.
- 05An activator and sealer are applied to finish.
Before your appointment
- Arrive with clean hands and no hand cream or oil on the nail plate.
- If you are wearing enhancements from another salon, tell us when you book — removal is charged separately and takes extra time.
- Please arrive on time. If you are more than 15 minutes late your appointment may be given to another client.
- Bring cash. The salon does not take card payments.
Aftercare
- When picking anything up, try not to use the tips of your nails — stress and strain lead to breakages.
- Always use cuticle oil to keep cuticles healthy and nourished.
- Always wear protective gloves when gardening or doing DIY jobs.
- Dry your nails individually.
- Never immerse your nail enhancements in any solution you would not put on your face.
- Some suntan lotions can dissolve and discolour nail enhancements.
