Dip powder nails, also known as dip nails or SNS nails, are a type of artificial nail that uses a powder to create a more durable and long-lasting finish. Dip powder nails are a hybrid between gel nail polish and acrylic extensions, and they are more lightweight than acrylic, which allows them to wear and tear better and last longer. Unlike traditional acrylic nails, which are made with a liquid monomer and a polymer powder, dipping powder nails use a pre-mixed powder that is dipped directly into a liquid solution before being applied to the nail. Dip powder nails are known for their glossy finish and natural-looking appearance, and they can last up to two or three weeks, depending on the individuals nail growth and activities. Dip powder nails can be harsh on your nails, so it is recommended to have a licensed professional remove any product for you. Dip powder nails are a relatively new trend in the world of artificial nails, and not all nail salons offer dip powder manicures.
