12 Best Dip Powder Nail Kits to Get a Salon-Quality Manicure at Home
At-home manicures can save you a lot of money, but regular nail polish chips within days of application. That's why brands have started to sell at-home gel kits that promise long-lasting salon-quality manicures for a fraction of the price. Gel polish kits have taken over the market, but now there is a new-ish (maybe even better) at-home manicure method: dip powder nail kits.
What is a dip powder manicure? It's a long-lasting manicure that doesn't use UV light to harden. The color comes from dipping your nails into a pigmented powder, rather than painting on streaks of liquid. The result is a flawless, even coat, usually only achieved by professionals — until now.
Are powder dipped nails better than gel?
The biggest difference between gel and dip powder is longevity. Dip powder manicures can last up to a month, which is twice as long as gel nail polish. Also, dip powder manicures don't require light curing lamps. That means you won't have a bulky nail lamp taking up space in your closets or drawers, and you won't have to deal with UV exposure.
How do you apply dip powder nail polish at home?
- Prep the nail by pushing the cuticles back and filing the nail into your desired shape.
- Use a cleanser to remove oil and dirt from the nail bed.
- Apply a base coat to the nail once nails are clean and dry.
- Dip into powder color and use a duster brush to remove the excess powder.
- Repeat the entire process: double dunking ensures full coverage and a stronger finish for a chip-resistant manicure.
- Finally, paint nails with the activator, which bonds the color powder into a lacquered gloss, and apply a top coat for extra strength.
Are dip powder nails safe?
If you are worried about your nail health, don't fret: dip powder won't ruin your nails, but scraping and picking the manicure off will. Chipping away at your nails with a nail stick removes layers of your natural bed, weakening your nails.
Instead, to remove dip powder nail polish, stick to the same removal process as gel: dip a cotton pad in acetone and allow it to sit on your nails for 10 to 15 minutes before wiping the color away. If your manicure doesn't budge after 15 minutes, let your nails soak in polish remover a bit longer. Don't forget to add a moisturizer to your nails when you are all done!
