OPI Acrylic Dipping Powder: How It Works

Let’s talk about how OPI dipping powder can turn into nail perfection with the following easy-to-follow steps:

Always prep the nails
Scoop out enough powder into a clean container to prevent cross contamination
Stir the powder to blend the pigment
Brush the base coat onto the nail, leaving a tiny gap at the cuticle (prevents a build-up of product)
Immediately dip the nail into the OPI dipping powder at a 45 degree angle
Tap the excess powder from the nail
Repeat on each nail (making sure to prevent the base coat from drying out before dipping)
Dust off any remaining product with a clean sanitised brush
Apply a second coat of the base coat and repeat the steps above on each nail one by one
Dust off any remaining powder (specifically focusing on the cuticle and edges)
Apply one thin, even layer of the base coat
Dip each nail (one by one) into the Clear Colour Set Powder at a 45 degree angle
Tap off excess powder and remove leftover powder with a clean sanitised brush
Apply a thick, even layer of the Activator solution, making sure to cap the free edge
Leave for 4 minutes to dry
Once hardened, shape the nails and contour around sidewalls and cuticle area
Buff the nails with a heavy grit
Smooth the nails with a finer buffer
Remove any excess dust
Apply another coat of the thick Activator and let it dry for 4 minutes
Apply top coat and let it dry for a couple of minutes
Apply a second coat of the top coat and let it dry fully
