Are you tired of your usual nail routine? Well, it's time to shake things up because the internet is buzzing with excitement over dip powder nails. This new trend has taken the beauty world by storm and it's no surprise why. Not only does it offer a fresh alternative to gel nails, but it also has the potential to cause less damage. With 43.7K posts on TikTok and a feed filled with aesthetically pleasing step-by-step guides, it's clear that dip powder nails have become a fan favorite.
To learn more about this nail polish hack, The Agency spoke to Yana Gushchina, the founder of Browfique. She shared all the details about dip powder nails, from what to ask for at the salon to the cost. So, what exactly are dip powder nails? They are nail colors that are applied using an adhesive polish and then dipped into colored powder. It's a simple yet effective process that creates a flawless and long-lasting look.
Wondering how nail technicians achieve this look? Yana explains that the first step is to prep the nail by removing any excess polish and oils. If you're getting extensions, they will also glue a tip to your nail. Then comes the fun part – dipping your nail into the colored powder. This process is repeated until the nail is fully coated and hardened with a protective top coat. The result is a beautiful and durable manicure.
Compared to other nail techniques like acrylics and gels, dip powder nails are known to be less damaging. Acrylics, in particular, have a bad reputation for causing harm to the nails. And while gel nails may seem like a safer option, they are often cured under a UV light, which comes with its own set of risks. So, is the dip powder look better for overall nail health? It could be, as Yana points out that some people may have allergies to acrylics and dip powder offers a safer alternative.
One of the benefits of dip powder nails is that they do not require a UV lamp. However, Yana emphasizes that proper preparation and removal techniques are crucial in preventing damage to the nails. Overfiling or improper removal can lead to weakened and damaged nails. That's why it's important to go to a reputable salon where technicians are trained to provide quality services.
Now, let's talk about the cost. Unfortunately, dip powder nails do come with a higher price tag. Yana explains that they are more time-consuming and cannot be refilled like other techniques. However, the results are worth it, especially if you love bright and bold colors. It's important to note that since dip powder nails need to be removed and reapplied each time, it can end up costing more in the long run.
While it may be tempting to try and recreate dip powder nails at home, Yana advises against it. The chemicals used in this process can be harmful if not handled properly, and it's easy to damage your natural nails. It's best to leave it to the professionals who are trained to use these products safely and effectively. Plus, going to the nail salon is a great opportunity to relax and treat yourself.
