1. The nails are prepped: “Before starting any manicure you must make sure the nails are prepped by cleaning and freeing the nail plate of any dirt and oils,” Aaron says. This is also where you should push your cuticles back and clip any hangnails, and buff the surface of the nail plate.
2. Bonder is applied: Once you’ve cleaned and prepped your nails, Aaron says you may apply a bonder so that the product can adhere to the nail plate and lessen the chance of lifting.
3. Base and powder are applied: “Brush on the base just as if you were polishing your nails,” Aaron instructs, noting to go one nail at a time. Once you’ve applied the base coat to a single nail, dip the nail in the dipping tray of powder and repeat on each nail, making sure to brush off any excess. Based on your desired opacity and color intensity, you may want to re-dip your nails two to three times.
4. Wait a few minutes, then apply topcoat: “This step is to dry and harden the product,” Aaron says. “You should wait two to five minutes before beginning to shape and file nails after applying activator. After you shape and file your nails to your desired look, apply a topcoat.”

If you’re getting your dip powder done at a salon, your nail technician shouldn’t actually “dip” your nail into the powder pot. While this was the technique when this trend initially launched, hygiene concerns over different clients’ nails being dipped into the same pot have put this practice to a stop. Instead, your nail tech should brush the powder directly onto your nail or pour powder from the pot into a Dixie cup for single-use (this is wasteful, so most salons use the brush-on method). Here’s a video demonstrating the dip powder nails process:
