3. Application Instructions

Follow these steps for a successful dip powder application. No UV/LED lamp is required as the system air-dries.

Step-by-step guide for applying dip powder

Image: Visual guide demonstrating the three main steps of dip powder application: applying base, dipping in powder, and applying top coat.

Apply Base Coat: Apply a thin, even layer of the Base Coat to one nail.
Dip in Powder: Immediately dip the entire nail into the desired Dip Powder color. Gently brush off any excess powder with the nail brush. Allow to air dry for 60 seconds.
Repeat (Optional): For deeper color or added strength, repeat steps 1 and 2 once or twice.
Apply Activator: Apply a layer of Activator to all nails. Allow to air dry for 60 seconds. This hardens the powder.
Shape and Buff: After the Activator has dried, gently file and buff the nails to refine the shape and smooth the surface. Remove dust.
Apply Top Coat: Apply a thin layer of Top Coat to seal the manicure and provide shine. Allow to air dry for 60 seconds.
Final Activator (Optional): For extra shine and durability, some users prefer a second thin layer of Activator after the Top Coat, followed by another Top Coat layer.
Cuticle Oil: Finish by applying cuticle oil to moisturize the cuticles.

Important Tips:

Shake and loosen Dip Powder before use, as powder may settle over time.
Always brush parallel to the nail to ensure bristles do not indent the powder.
Dip at a 45-degree angle and pull straight back out. Avoid pushing the nail against the powder.
Ensure each layer is completely dry before applying the next to prevent smudging or lifting.

4. Maintenance and Removal

Maintaining Your Manicure:

The Modelones dip powder manicure is designed to last for 28+ days with proper application.
Regularly apply cuticle oil to keep cuticles moisturized and healthy.
Avoid using nails as tools to prevent chipping or breaking.

Brush Saver:

The kit includes a Brush Saver liquid. If any of your liquid brushes (Base, Top, Activator) harden during use, swap the hardened brush with a clean brush from the Brush Saver bottle. Place the hardened brush into the Brush Saver bottle to clean it for future use.

Removal Process:

For hassle-free removal, the dip powder can be soaked off. While specific detailed steps are not provided in this manual, a common method involves:

File Top Layer: Gently file off the shiny top coat layer to break the seal.
Soak Nails: Soak nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes. This can be done by wrapping cotton balls soaked in acetone on each nail with foil, or by submerging fingertips in a bowl of acetone.
Gently Scrape: After soaking, the softened dip powder should be easy to gently scrape off with a cuticle pusher or wooden stick. Avoid harsh scraping to protect the natural nail.
Moisturize: After removal, wash hands and apply cuticle oil and hand cream to rehydrate nails and skin.

5. Troubleshooting

Issue	Possible Cause / Solution
Nails chipping or cracking quickly	Ensure proper nail preparation, including buffing the nail surface. Apply thin, even layers of Base Coat and Top Coat. Ensure sufficient layers of dip powder for strength (2-3 layers recommended). Allow adequate drying time between each step.
Brushes hardening	This is common if powder gets into the liquid. Use the provided Brush Saver. Immediately swap the hardened brush with a clean one from the Brush Saver bottle. Clean the hardened brush in the Brush Saver for future use.
Uneven application / Bumps	Ensure Base Coat is applied thinly and evenly. Gently tap off excess powder after dipping. File and buff the nail surface after Activator application to smooth out any imperfections before applying Top Coat.
Powder not adhering well	Ensure nails are completely clean and dry before starting. Lightly buff the nail surface to create a porous base. Apply Base Coat quickly and dip immediately.
