Review on πŸ’… Revamp Your Nails with the American Manicure Dipping Powder Starter Kit - 1 oz. Per Jar Dip Powders by Monica White

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Like this system. As well as some guides and tips.

I like it very much. It's very simple and it works. My hands are constantly in the water for work and they stay in place very well. Feels as strong as acrylic and won't lift. However, the included instructions are a bit complex in the way they're written, and the video tutorials around the web are just as puzzling, albeit rich in wtf comedic value. My advice and conclusion of the instructions: 1: Polish the nail plates in one block to slightly roughen the surface and improve adhesion. 2. Apply Nail Prep to all nails.3. Apply the gel dip nail by nail in an even and thin layer, then dip into the Crystal Nail Powder Gel Base at a 45 degree angle.4. Repeat step 3 with crystal, white, pink or black powder several times or as many times as necessary until you reach the desired density and color. It's important to make the gel dip layer as thin and even as possible to get a smooth finish that doesn't require a lot of buffing and sanding. It's also important to note that if your surface appears uneven or bulky, you can file a coat or two to smooth it out, and keep this in mind when using colored coats. You can also apply multiple coats to just the bottom of the nail to thicken the tips. When you have applied enough coats, after the last dip in powder, gently apply the activator to each part of each nail. Buff and form.7. Apply paint of choice or top coat. Hope that helps!
