What it is

A very fine polymer powder that is usually heavily pigmented and used with a resin-based system as an overlay.

How to use

Follow the complete matched dip system’s preparation, base, powder, activator and finishing sequence. Dispense a separate portion for each client and avoid skin contact with uncured products.

How to apply

Use the resin and powder in the sequence specified by the dip system. Pour powder over the nail into a disposable catch tray or use a separate single-client portion; do not dip multiple clients into a shared supply. Apply activator only as directed.

How to remove
Cleaning & hygiene

Discard powder that has contacted a client or used tools. Keep the main supply clean and closed; do not return collected powder to it.
