Step-by-Step Instructions
Now, let's get started on how to do Kiss Salon Dip Nails at home:
Step 1: Prep Your Nails
Start by removing any old nail polish and shaping your nails to your desired length and shape. Use a buffer to gently buff the shine off your nails, and then wash your hands to remove any oils or debris. Push back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher or nippers, taking care not to damage the skin. Use alcohol or acetone to clean your nails and remove any remaining debris or oils.
Step 2: Apply Base Coat
Apply the base coat from the Kiss Salon Dip Powder System Starter Kit to your nails, making sure to cover the entire surface of each nail. Dip your nail into the powder at a 45-degree angle and tap off any excess powder. Repeat this process on all of your nails, making sure to brush off any excess powder before moving on to the next nail.
Step 3: Build Layers
Repeat the dip process 2-3 times to build up the layers for a more durable and long-lasting finish. Make sure to brush off any excess powder between coats.
Step 4: Apply Activator
Apply the activator from the Kiss Salon Dip Powder System Starter Kit to your nails, making sure to cover the entire surface of each nail. Let it dry for at least one minute.
Step 5: Shape and Buff
Use a nail file to shape your nails and remove any excess powder. Then, use a buffer to smooth the surface of your nails and remove any bumps or rough spots.
Step 6: Apply Top Coat
Apply the top coat from the Kiss Salon Dip Powder System Starter Kit to your nails, making sure to cover the entire surface of each nail. Dip your nail into the powder at a 45-degree angle and tap off any excess powder. Repeat this process on all of your nails, making sure to brush off any excess powder before moving on to the next nail.
Step 7: Apply Brush Softener
Apply the brush softener from the Kiss Salon Dip Powder System Starter Kit to the brush to clean any excess powder. Wipe away any product that may be on the bristles to ensure a clean finish for next use.
Step 8: Cure Under Lamp (Optional)
If you have an LED lamp, cure your nails for 30 seconds to one minute to set the powder and topcoat. This will help ensure your nails stay in place for longer.
Tips and Tricks
Now that you know how to do Kiss Salon Dip Nails at home, here are a few tips and tricks to help you achieve the best results:
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to ensure even application.
- Use a cuticle pusher or nippers to remove any excess powder that may have gotten on your skin.
