How to Apply Acrylic Dip with Acrylic Nail Liquids

A fast, easy, and versatile way of applying dip colours to nails, especially when building out the extension. IBD Dip & Sculpt can be used with nail liquid to build or create colour overlays. Considered more hygienic and ensures an even colour application every time! 

SHOPPING LIST:

• IBD Prep - Step 1 (14ml)
• IBD French Dip & Sculpt Powder - Clear (113g)
• Your favourite dip colour (we chose IBD Dip & Sculpt Powder – Rose Lite District
• CND Sculpting Liquid Retention+ 118ml
• Dappen Dish & Lid
• Regal by Anh Hoang Pro Acrylic Sculpting Brush #14
• OPI Nail Polish Top Coat 15ml
• ProDip by SuperNail Cuticle Oil (14ml)

STEP BY STEP:

1. Brush on IBD Prep - Step 1 to the natural nail only, avoid touching the skin. This makes sure the product bonds well and there is no slick oil barrier layer to cause lifting.
2. Pour CND Sculpting Liquid Retention+ into the Dappen Dish filling it 3/4 of the way. Then saturate the Regal by Anh Hoang Pro Acrylic Sculpting Brush with liquid.
3. Remove excess liquid from the brush, then bring the damp brush to your chosen Dip & Sculpt colour and press into the powder until you pick up a bead.
4. Place the bead at the centre of the nail bed and press upwards so that it moves closer to the cuticle without touching the skin.

Repeat steps 3 + 4 until the nail is covered evenly. Repeat on all 10 fingers.

5. When the nail is set hard use the Nail File 80/100 to shape the nail and smooth out any lumps and bumps on the nail.

6. Buff using the Orange Block 100/180 or file to smooth out any ridges or filing marks. Dust off excess powder once all 10 fingers are complete.

7. Apply a coat of OPI Nail Polish Top Coat to all 10 fingers. When dry, repeat again for the second coat until the surface is shiny. Wait 5-10 min to dry completely.

8. Apply ProDip by SuperNail Cuticle Oil to the nails to rehydrate and nourish the skin.
