It’s a game-changer for anyone wanting durability without the drama. Compared to acrylics or gel, dip is often easier to apply, making it a fave among home users. No UV lamp? No problem.

Getting started costs less than investing in a full acrylic or gel setup, but the finished look? Salon-worthy.</span></p> <h3 dir="ltr"><span>How to Use Dip Powder Like a Pro</span></h3> <p dir="ltr"><span>The “pour” in SlickPour comes from the technique—using a scoop or spoon (such as our </span><a href="https://www.youngnails.com/products/slickpour-dual-metal-pusher"><span>double-sided pouring spoon</span></a><span>)  to gently pour powder over the nail.
