Pinky & Co Beauty Bar Dip Powders

What is a Dip Manicure:

 Dip nails, also known as dip powder nails or SNS nails, are a long-lasting manicure option that combines the strength of acrylic with the natural look of a gel manicure. Instead of using liquid polish, your nails are dipped into a finely milled colored powder and sealed with a special activator, creating a durable, chip-resistant finish. 

The Dip Process:

1 Preparation:

  • We start by prepping your nails shaping, pushing back cuticles, and buffing the nail surface to ensure the dip adheres properly. 

2. Base Application:

  • We apply a special glue-like base coat to your nails.

3. Dipping:

  • Your nail is dipped into the colored powder of your choice. We can layer this for a more vibrant color or keep it light for a natural look.

4. Activation:

  • After dipping, we apply an activator which hardens the powder, turning it into a strong, flexible layer.

5. Finishing:

  • We buff the nails to smooth out any bumps, then apply another layer of activator and finally seal it with a topcoat for shine or matte finish.

Dip Benefits:

Dip powder manicures come with a range of benefits that have made them increasingly popular. Here's a rundown of the key advantages:

  • Durability: Long-Lasting: Dip manicures typically last three to four weeks without chipping or peeling, which is longer than most traditional nail polishes and comparable to gel manicures.
  • Strength: Long-Lasting: Dip manicures typically last three to four weeks without chipping or peeling, which is longer than most traditional nail polishes and comparable to gel manicures.
  • Natural Look and Feel: Natural Appearance: Dip powder can mimic the look of natural nails while providing durability. You can choose colors and finishes (matte, gloss, or even a natural look) that blend seamlessly with your nail bed.
  • Odor-Free: No Strong Smell: Unlike acrylics, there's no harsh chemical odor during application since the powder hardens with an activator rather than a monomer.
  • Quick Application: Efficient: The process can be quicker than gel or acrylic applications, often completed in under an hour, depending on the complexity of the design or extensions.
  • Healthier Removal: Gentler on Nails: Removal involves filing off the top layers and then soaking in acetone for a shorter time compared to gel polish. This method is less damaging to the natural nail than peeling off acrylics or soaking off gels for long periods.
  • Customization: Wide Range of Colors and Effects: From matte to glitter, there's a vast array of colors and finishes available. You can also easily add nail art, like French tips or subtle glitter, directly into the dip process.
  • No UV Light Required: Less Exposure: While gel manicures require UV or LED light to cure, dip powder cures with an activator, eliminating the need for UV exposure, which some people prefer to avoid.
  • Low Maintenance: Easy Maintenance: If you do get some chipping or lifting, touch-ups are generally simpler than with gel or acrylic, where you might need to remove everything and start over.
  • Cost-Effective: Longevity: Because dip manicures last longer, you might find you need fewer salon visits, potentially saving money over time.


Despite these benefits, it's worth noting that like any nail enhancement, there are considerations such as ensuring proper removal to avoid nail damage and giving your nails breaks between applications to maintain their health. However, when done correctly, dip powder can provide a durable, beautiful, and relatively low-maintenance manicure option.

  • Durability: Dip manicures can last up to three to four weeks, sometimes even longer, with minimal chipping or lifting. They're perfect for those who want a manicure that stands the test of time.
  • Natural Look: One of the best things about dip powder is how it can mimic the look of natural nails while providing strength. We can achieve a matte, satin, or glossy finish, depending on your preference.

 Dip manicure extensions are a method of adding length to your natural nails by utilizing dip powder or standard artificial tips or forms, such as those used with acrylics or gels.   

Pinky & Co Beauty Bar Dip Removal

Dip Removal

  • Maintenance: Your nails will grow, so you might need infills or a new set every few weeks. We recommend keeping your cuticles moisturized since dip can slightly dry them out.
  • Removal: When it's time to take off your dip manicure, we carefully file the top layer, then use a gentle soak-off method with acetone to remove the remaining product without damaging your natural nails.

Dip Aftercare:

Dip nails are strong and long-lasting, but proper care is essential to keep them looking flawless for 3-4 weeks. Follow these easy tips to protect your dip manicure and keep your nails healthy!


  1. Moisturize Daily: Apply cuticle oil daily to keep your cuticles and nails hydrated. Use a moisturizing hand cream to keep your skin soft and nails flexible. Hydrated nails are less prone to lifting, chipping, or cracking. 
  2. Avoid Using Nails as Tools: Don’t use your nails to open cans, scratch surfaces, or pry things open. Use tools or the pads of your fingers instead. This helps prevent cracks, chips, or lifting of the dip powder.
  3. Wear Gloves During Household Chores: Protect your nails when washing dishes or cleaning. Chemicals, water, and harsh cleaners can weaken the dip and cause premature lifting. Gloves help extend the life of your manicure. 
  4. Be Gentle with Your Nails: Avoid biting or picking at your nails—this can lead to lifting or peeling. If your dip manicure lifts or chips, book a repair appointment instead of peeling it off. Peeling dip powder off can damage your natural nail bed.
  5. Avoid Soaking in Water for Too Long: Minimize exposure to long baths, hot tubs, or excessive moisture, especially in the first 24 hours after application. Excess moisture can cause lifting or separation. 
  6. Schedule Regular Maintenance: Book a dip manicure fill or removal every 3-4 weeks to keep your nails looking fresh. Getting a professional soak-off removal ensures no damage to your natural nails. 
  7. Protect Against Heat & Harsh Conditions: Avoid direct heat exposure or chemicals that may break down the topcoat seal.
