What Are Dipping Nails?

DIP powder nails is a technique in which our nail technicians will dust or brush a pigmented power over your nails to create an opaque layer of colour. A few coats will be added for opacity, then our nail technicians will paint a liquid sealant on top to harden the powder, before being covered with a top coat for shine.

At Polish Nail Bar, we care about the health of your nails, which is why the dip powder that we use contains nourishing calcium and vitamins that will help to fortify your nails.

Maintaining a healthy nail bed is our top priority, which is why we take great care during DIP removal, using the beneficial nail oil from Oilab. Post-gel manicure, a cuticle oil or serum becomes your best friend. Due to the removal solution, your nails may be on the brittle side, so rehydrating your nails is crucial. At Polish, we prioritize the health and beauty of your nails, ensuring a positive and lasting dip experience.

Why choose DIP?

Durability: Dip powder formula is exceptionally durable, ensuring that your nails do not chip or break easily. This makes it ideal for individuals with hands-on work or those with a busy schedule who may not have the time for frequent manicure upkeep. 

No Chemical Smell: In contrast to acrylics, dip nails don’t come with the same unpleasant odor of chemicals, providing a more pleasant and odor-free experience for you at our salon.

Vitamins and Calcium: At Polish Nail Bar, the dip formula which we used is enriched with vitamins and calcium, delivering essential nutrients to nourish and strengthen your nails for overall health.

Option to add gel polish: Dip nails serve as robust base, giving you the flexibility to explore a variety of colours and designs. You can easily enhance your dip nails with vibrant gel polish, providing endless possibilities. 

Long-Lasting Gloss: Enjoy a consistently glossy finish throughout the entire duration of your manicure, adding a touch of glamour to your everyday look.

Treatment steps:

1. Removal process: If you have existing dip on your hands or existing gel polish on top of the dip, we delicately initiate the removal process using an efile to gently file down the layers. Following this, we let your nails soak in acetone for about 20 minutes, ensuring effective and thorough removal. 

2. Nail and cuticle preparation: We meticulously push back cuticles, clean and trim them, cut and shape the nails, buff the surface for smoothness and conclude with an alcohol cleanse to eliminate dust and excess oils, ensuring an ideal surface for the dip powder application

3. Preparing extension tips (optional): If you have opted for dip nails with tip to prolong your nails, we start by preparing the extension tips, filing and shaping them to create the desired look. 

4. Applying the dip: Your skilled nail technician will then dip your nails into the powder, brushing off excess. This process involves adding approximately 3 layers of dip for a durable and flawless finish. 

5. Liquid sealant and reshaping: Following the dip application, a liquid sealant is applied to solidify the powder. If needed, our nail technician will reshape your nails and buff them for an optimal appearance. 

6.Application of Sunscreen and/or gloves: Prior to the application of gel polish on your nails, we offer an additional service for our comfort. Would you like us to apply sunscreen to your hands or provide a pair of gloves to protect your skin during the process? Your well-being is important to us, and we’re here to ensure your experience is as enjoyable as possible.

7. Gel Polish Application (optional): If desired, we offer the option to apply gel polish. Each layer of gel polish is cured for 30-60 seconds. 

8. Top coat and cuticle oil: Lastly, our nail technician will apply a layer of top coat on your nails to give them that extra shine before finishing off with applying the oilab nail oil. 

*Please note that the duration of the treatment may vary for each customer, as it depends on the individual condition of the hands and nails. We take the necessary time to ensure meticulous removal, precise nail and cuticle preparation, and the flawless application of gel polish, tailored to the unique needs of each client.
