Dip powder gives you strong, long-wearing color on your natural nails without extensions. A Dip Powder Manicure costs $50 at LUX Nails & Lashes and usually lasts three to four weeks.
How the service works
Your technician preps and shapes the nails, then applies a bonding base and dips each nail into colored powder. After a few layers, an activator hardens the powder and a top coat seals it. No UV lamp is involved.
Dip vs gel
- Dip wears harder and resists chips better for clients who use their hands a lot.
- Gel feels thinner and more flexible.
- Dip takes longer to soak off than gel.
Who dip suits
Dip is a good fit if your natural nails bend or break easily but you do not want acrylic length. It adds a thin, hard layer that protects the nail while it grows.
Removing dip safely
Dip must be soaked in acetone until it softens. Filing it all the way off thins the natural nail. Book a Nail Take Off ($15) and we will remove it gently. If you plan to switch to another service the same day, mention it when you book so we can hold enough time.
