1. PREP YOUR NAILS

File & Buff
Use a coarse nail file to file down the top layer of your previous dip powder, especially where you see regrowth. The goal is to create an even, matte surface.

Cuticle Care
Push back your cuticles using a cuticle pusher. This step keeps your refill clean and prevents lifting.

2. APPLY BASE & DIP

Base Coat
Apply a thin, even layer of Base Coat to the area with new growth, blending slightly into the existing powder.

Dip into Your Color
Immediately dip your nail into your chosen Dipping Powder color. Make sure the powder covers the Base Coat area completely.

Dust It Off
Wait 10 seconds, then use a soft brush to gently remove excess powder.

3. REPEAT FOR INTENSITY

Apply Another Layer (Optional)
If you want a more saturated color, apply another coat of Base and dip again just like before.

Dust Again
Brush off any remaining powder to keep things smooth.

4. SHAPE & REFINE

File & Shape
Once you’re happy with the coverage, use your file to reshape your nails and smooth the surface. Use the fine side of the file or a buffer for a flawless finish.

5. ACTIVATE & HARDEN

Activator Time
Apply Activator generously to the entire nail. Let it dry for at least 2 minutes to allow the powder to fully harden.

6. FINAL FILE & TOP COAT PREP

Refine Again (If Needed)
If your nail feels uneven after hardening, do one final pass with the buffer.

Wipe Clean
Use a dry paper towel to wipe off any remaining Activator before applying Top Coat. This keeps the shine flawless.

7. SEAL WITH TOP COAT

Top Coat x2
Apply two coats of Top Coat, allowing each layer to dry completely. This adds strength and shine like a fresh set, minus the full routine.

8. FINISH STRONG

Cuticle Oil
Massage a few drops of Vitamin Oil into your cuticles for hydration and that perfect finishing touch.
