How To Apply Dip Powder Safely & Effectively
Applying your dip powder manicure in a well-ventilated area is crucial to avoid dip flu. Dip-flu is not common, but it may affect those prone to sensitive skin and watery eyes. Symptoms include sneezing and irritated eyes. Here are a few safety tips to remember:
- Wear a face mask and glasses when applying your dip mani to help prevent eye irritation and accidental inhalation (if one is available).
- Keep your hands away from your face during application.
- Clean your workspace thoroughly after completing the dip mani process.
Nail Prep
Before getting started, prep your nails by gently pushing your cuticles back with the cuticle pusher. Doing this exposes as much of your nail plate as possible to ensure the even placement of the dip powder.
After pushing your cuticles back, shape and file your nails to the length you prefer. Wash your hands with soap and water to remove dust and oils from your nails, then dry your hands thoroughly.

Step 1
Step one is crucial in providing your nails with a solid foundation to prevent lifting. It also helps the color adhere securely to the nails and adds a protective layer over your natural nails. It is important to work each of these steps one nail at a time.
Coat & Build
- Apply the base liquid to one nail.
- Dip the nail into the build powder.
- Tap and brush the nail to remove excess build powder.
- Repeat on each nail.
Base Coat & Color
- Apply base liquid again, working with one nail at a time.
- Dip the nail into the colored powder.
- Tap and brush the nail to remove excess powder.
- Repeat on each nail.
If needed, apply another coat of base liquid and pigmented powder to each nail until you reach the color opacity you desire. Some colors are darker than others and require only one coat, while others need two.
Step 2
Step two is all about the activation. This step cures the layers without using an LED or UV lamp. The Nailboo activator hardens the powder and seals in color.
Activate
- Apply a thin layer of activator liquid to each nail.
- Wait for two minutes.
- Buff the tops and edges of your nails with the four-way nail file.
- Apply a second thin layer of activator liquid to each nail.
- Wait another two minutes.
You’re almost ready to flaunt your new mani! Just one more step to completion.
Step 3
The step three Nailboo top coat adds brilliant shine for a diamond-hard finish, and it seals everything in to prevent color fading. Simply apply a thin layer of top coat to each nail, and you’re done. Brilliant!
