What the AI looks for in Dip Manicure Powders
- Fine milling
- Choose finely or ultra-finely milled powders. Fine powder gives thinner, smoother layers with less filing.
- Colour opacity
- Expect full coverage in about two dips; sheers need more. More dips means thicker, bulkier nails.
- Liquid compatibility
- Powders usually work across systems but should be tested with your liquids. Some combinations cure cloudy or grainy.
Brands that matter
- OPI: Powder Perfection line mirrors its polish shades.
- DND: Dip powders colour-matched to its gel and polish line.
- Kiara Sky: Large shade library.
- SNS: Original salon dip powders.
What to avoid
- Coarse or gritty powders that clump in the jar
- Powders without an ingredient list
- Storing jars open or in humid bathrooms, which causes clumping
