Before application, ensure the dip powder is well-mixed by stirring and shaking to achieve consistent pigment distribution and reduce density.

Always pick a minimal amount of liquids (except Activator). Wipe excess inside the bottle to prevent over-saturation.

Keep the brush parallel to the nail surface during application to ensure thin and even layers of base liquid, avoiding lumps.

Start applying the base three-quarters down the nail and push up towards the cuticle for each coat, progressively getting closer to avoid bulkiness.

If encountering rippling, experiment with pouring the powder over the nail instead of direct dipping.

Dip the nail at a 45-degree angle into the powder to facilitate a smooth surface.

Brush off all excess powder after each dip to prevent clumps and contamination of liquids.

File and shape nails after activating to refine the appearance and avoid bulkiness.

Consider using a dip tray tool for precise application. Pour powder into the tray, apply base, and dip nails with guidance for a smooth, clump-free finish.
