Applying nail powder involves a specific process to ensure it adheres correctly and provides the desired finish. Here's a step-by-step guide based on the provided reference:
-
Cure the Gel: After applying a base coat or gel color, cure it under a UV lamp for 30 seconds. This step is crucial for creating a tacky surface that the nail powder can adhere to. According to the video reference, it is important to wait a moment for the gel to cool off after curing.
-
Pick Up the Powder: Use an applicator, such as a sponge applicator or a brush, to pick up a small amount of the nail powder. The reference specifically mentions using "chill pill powder," but the technique applies to most nail powders.
-
Rub the Powder In: Rub the powder onto the nail in a circular motion. This helps to evenly distribute the powder and press it into the tacky layer of the gel. Ensure the entire nail surface is covered for a uniform look.
By following these steps, you can achieve a professional-looking nail powder application.
