It has taken over four decades for the full potential of dip powders to be discovered. Nowadays, they have taken over the beauty industry. The fact that they do not require UV light or LED lamp to dry makes them exceptional. Furthermore, manicure lovers are not restricted to a single colour and that they take a long time before chipping thus giving the traditional gels and acrylics a run for their money. Dip powders bring in versatility into beauty industry where you get to try as many colours as you want. They make use of silica powder ground to dust and preserved in containers where the nails are dipped. A top coat is then applied when the polish layers dry out to create inventive designs with different embellishments.

The only distinction is that a clear set of liquid is applied after the application of colours which serves to make the nails robust and protect them against external pressure. It also prevents discolouration by acting as the sunscreen. In this process, you can opt to use the Kiara Sky, DND, or LDS dip powder color or any other dip powder colour that you wish to try. We have compiled, some of the simplest yet chic dip powder nail arts that you can try out for the best results.

On top of the curvatures, add a little white colour but make sure that it is a little off centre such that the pink can be easily seen.
