Capital Waxing Salon - Nail salon 20036 - SNS Dipping Powder : Signature Nail Service is a type of manicure that involves repeated dipping of your nails into a colored powder that hardens into a matte finish on your nail. It’s fairly new to the nail salon world and is currently only available in a limited number of salons. It does not require a primer or UV light, and is a healthier alternative to shellac or gel manicures.

Are dip nails as strong as acrylic?

Dip Powder is here to help you solve all those problems. It's stronger than gel, lasts like acrylics, doesn't need a light, and won't ruin your nails. It's the nail Revolution you've been waiting for. The two types of manicures women get most often in a salon are gel polish or acrylic manicures.

What is Dip Powder?

Dip powder (also known as SNS, for the brand Signature Nail Systems) nails have grown in popularity, but before trying this trendy new service, there's at least one woman warning to proceed with caution. Most dip powders are a combination of a glue-type liquid and powder that hardens when it hits the air, and leaves long-lasting color on your -- nails minus the need for any ultraviolet (UV) lighting to cure or dry. There also isn't the pungent smell that's often associated with gel or acrylic.
