Dip powder nails are the newest trend to hit the beauty world. The question is, is this trend right for you? Instead of lacquering on coats of nail polish, your manicurist applies a base coat and then dips your nails into some powder for color that’s meant to last longer than even a gel manicure.
Dip powder nail polish also has a few surprising added benefits. For one, it’s free of the five most harming chemicals that regular nail polishes contain including formaldehyde and toluene. You can also get this long-lasting manicure without the UV lights that gel manicures require, which have been linked to cancer and other health risks. Plus, some of the dip powder products include vitamins and calcium to strengthen nails.
If you’re looking for a healthier alternative to gel manicures, this is the way to go! For natural, healthy nails, check out SNS, one of the major brands that create dip powder nail polish.
Or, if you’re interested in a long-lasting manicure you can create at home, check out Motives Cosmetics gorgeous range of nail polishes. I’ve tested them myself so I know they work just as well as any alternative nail polish brand.
