The Ultimate Guide to Achieving Perfect SNS Nails at Home
Are you tired of going to the salon every couple of weeks to get your SNS nails done? Well, why not try doing them at home? Not only will you save yourself time and money, but you’ll also have the freedom to customize and experiment with different colors and techniques. Keep reading for our top tips on how to achieve perfect SNS nails at home!
1. Prep your nails: Before you start applying any product, make sure your nails are clean and trimmed. Use a nail file to shape and gently buff your nails. This will ensure a smooth surface for the base coat to adhere to. Don’t forget to push back your cuticles and apply cuticle oil to soften them.
2. Apply Base Coat: Apply a thin layer of base coat to your nails. We recommend using the SNS EA Bond base coat as it helps to strengthen the nail bed. Let the base coat dry for a couple of minutes before moving on to the next step.
3. Dip Time: Choose your desired SNS nail color and pour it into a small container. Using a brush, apply a thin layer of the SNS Gelous dip powder onto your nails. Make sure to dust off any excess powder in between layers to ensure a smooth finish. Repeat this step until you’ve achieved your desired opacity.
4. Activator Coat: After applying your final layer of dip powder, it’s time to apply the activator coat. This helps to harden the powder and ensures that the color lasts longer. Apply activator to all of your nails and let it dry for a couple of minutes.
5. Shape and Buff: Once the activator coat has dried, use a nail file to shape and buff your nails. This will remove any excess product and help to achieve your desired nail shape.
6. Final Coat: To finish off your SNS nails, apply a final coat of topcoat. This will add shine to your nails and protect them from chipping. Let the top coat dry for a couple of minutes before touching anything.
Voila! You now have salon-worthy SNS nails at home. With a little practice, you’ll be able to perfect this technique and customize your nails to your heart’s content. Remember to always use high-quality products and take your time with each step. Happy nail dipping!
