Know Before You Book
Durable color with a firm, polished finish.
Dip powder uses a resin system and finely milled color powder to create a hard-wearing manicure. It is an excellent middle ground for guests who want more rigidity than gel polish but do not need the sculpted length of acrylic. The application requires no lamp curing, and professional soak-off keeps removal controlled.

How long do dip nails last?
