Dip powder

  • Time: 55 to 75 min
  • From: $50
  • Lasts: 3 to 4 weeks

Dip powder builds strength through thin layers of bonding resin and finely milled powder. It is a great option if your gel manicures tend to chip at the tips, or if you want a little extra structure on short natural nails.

Dip removal takes longer than gel, so please book the combined service

We never double-dip fingers into a shared jar. Powder is poured over each nail from a single-use cup, so the product in the jar stays clean for the next guest. The result is a smooth, glossy nail that lasts three to four weeks.

What is included

  • Removal of your previous dip or gel
  • Shape, cuticle tidy and buff
  • Hygienic pour-over powder application
  • Two to three color layers and activator
  • Hand-filed smoothing and glossy sealer
  • Cuticle oil finish

Questions before you book

Neither is unhealthy when applied and removed properly. Dip is thicker and stronger. Gel is thinner and more flexible. We will recommend the best fit for your nails.

Shared jars can carry bacteria between guests. Pouring powder from a single-use cup keeps every application clean.

Yes. Book a gel manicure and add removal. We soak off the dip gently first.

Client reviews

  • Priscilla N., South Lamar says:

    May 2026

    They pour the powder instead of dipping in a shared jar. Lasted almost four weeks. Saturday wait was about ten minutes.

  • Marcus, Travis Heights says:

    August 2026

    I asked for tidy brows that did not look done. Dani got it exactly right and explained what she was doing the whole time.

  • Leah, Bouldin Creek says:

    August 2026

    My skin is sensitive, so I was nervous about a peel. Marisol started me gentle, checked in halfway and there was no redness by dinner.
