Dip: Antiquity

For a subtle shimmer: after your last dip, apply base before activator.  After 2 minutes, apply 1-2 more layers of base to encapsulate and protect the glitter from buffing. Let dry 3 minutes, buff/file as needed and continue finishing as usual.

For a more sparkly finish: after your last dip apply activator. After 2 minutes, apply 1-3 more layers of base to encapsulate and protect the glitter from buffing.  Let dry 3 minutes, buff/file as needed and continue finishing as usual.

For extra high shine and full color shifting effects: 

You'll need an eyeshadow applicator, no wipe gel top coat and a led/UV light.

1. Do the usual dip steps up to the first activator with this or any dark base color.

2. Shape and buff the nails as needed.

3. Apply a layer of No Wipe Gel Top Coat and under cure for 10-15 seconds (depending on your lamp).

*If you have issues with gel peeling or chipping, use a coat of Gel Base Coat and fully cure before beginning the steps.

4. Dip nail into powder and rub it in gently with an eyeshadow sponge. Dust off the excess.

5. Finish curing under the light 30-60 more seconds (depending on your lamp). 

6. Apply a final layer of No Wipe Gel Top Coat (glossy or matte) to make it smooth and shiny.
