More information about Dip Powder:
Dip Powders are a brand new trend taking over the nail industry, but a lot of people are learning about them for the first time and we hear a lot the same questions, so this is intended to answer a lot of questions and help get you started with Dip Powders!
What are Dip Powders?
Dip Powders started as a safe, healthy alternative to traditional acrylics and gel polish. The smell, the time to apply, and the effects on the nails all left customers wanting more. Dip Powders have no monomer odor when applied, can be done in about a third to half the time as acrylics, and soak off easier than gel polish, leaving the nail healthy and beautiful after removal.
Why are Dip Powders so popular?
Compared to acrylics, Dip Powders are faster to apply and don’t have an odor. They leave the nail bed healthy and undamaged. Dip Powders are more durable than gel polish and just as durable as acrylics, and can come in any color, with glitters and other color effects. You can get the same appearance as gel polish and also the perfect pink and white with same durability as acrylics. Clients are getting a product that is healthier for their natural nails and more durable than gel polish. Dip powder can stay on natural nails for 8 weeks (providing you want to let it grow out that long), good luck with just getting two weeks with gel polish. The other reasons why salon owners like dip powder is that it replaces doing traditional pink and white with acrylics because dip powder is just as durable as acrylics and you can get the perfect pink and white easily. Clients get a product that feels more natural and healthier for their natural nails. The application time for dip powder is very similar to gel polish, but this product is easier to remove than gel polish.
Why are Dip Powders Healthier?
To answer this questions, let us address the issue with gel polish and traditional acrylics. Traditional acrylics and gel polish contain ingredient called methacrylate and methacrylate is known for weakening/softening nails beds. Have you ever worn traditional acrylics or gel polish for a long time and had them removed and you noticed that your nail beds are extremely soft and weak? Well it’s the methacrylate in the formulation that weakens and soften your nail beds. People say that it’s because your nails can’t breathe, which is not true because your nail do not breathe at all! Traditional acrylic monomer uses EMA( Ethyl Methacrylate) and some salons even use MMA (Methyl Methacrylate – banned by FDA) as the main ingredients. Gel Polish contains some higher molecular weight methacrylates such as HEMA (2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate), HPMA (2-Hydroxypropyl methacrylate), Bis-GMA (bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate) as part of their formulation. These methacrylates weaken/soften nail beds. There are studies that have shown that roughly 25% of the population shows signs of being allergic to methacrylates and they develop noticeable skin abrasions around their nail beds. Dip powders do not use any methacrylates in the formulation. The liquids are based on Cyanoacrylate, which is similar to crazy glue or glue that is used in the hospital to seal a cut rather than getting stitches. Although, the hospital uses Octyl Cyanoacrylate and the nail industry uses Ethyl Cyanoacrylate because it is harder and more durable. People that are allergic to methacrylates can wear dip powder without any issue. Since dip powder does not contain methacrylates, your nail beds do not soften at all, you will notice after the first application how strong your natural nails are and especially how strong it will be after wearing it for an extended period of time.
