Dip powder
Durable, long lasting color with no light needed. A favorite for guests who are hard on their hands.

What is dip powder?
Dip powder is a colored powder that's layered onto your nails with a bonding liquid and sealed with a hard top coat. There's no curing light, and the finish is thicker and harder than gel polish.
Guests choose dip because it's tough. It holds up well to typing, cleaning and busy hands, and many guests wear it for three weeks or more.
