How to Apply Dip Powder Like a Pro

Get Ready to Be Dipped in Diva

Dreaming of salon-quality nails without the salon price? Girl, we got you! Our dip powder kits are beginner-friendly and diva-approved. Here's how to apply them like a boss from the comfort of your vanity.

💅 What You’ll Need:

  • Dipped in Diva Dip Powder Color

  • Dip Base Coat

  • Activator

  • Top Coat

  • Nail File + Buffer

  • Orange stick or cuticle pusher

  • Lint-free wipes

Step-by-Step:

1. Prep Like a Pro
Push back cuticles, file your nails into shape, and lightly buff the surface to remove shine. This helps your dip stick!

2. Base Coat Magic
Apply a thin layer of Base Coat to 3/4 of your nail (avoid the cuticle!). Immediately dip into your powder at a 45° angle.

3. Tap & Repeat
Tap off excess powder and repeat on each nail. For richer color, do 2–3 dips per nail.

4. Activate It, Diva
Apply your Activator and let it dry for 60 seconds. This hardens the powder.

5. Shape + Buff
File to perfection, smooth with your buffer, and wipe away dust.

6. Seal with Slay
Apply two coats of Top Coat for that glossy, rock-hard shine. Let dry.
