Dipping powder/ SNS extensions

There’s a good chance that you’re familiar with gel nail polish and acrylic nails, but there’s another long-lasting option that you might be overlooking. Dip powder nails are a great option for anyone who wants a manicure that won’t budge at all. These manicures, also called SNS (short for Signature Nail Systems), are having a major moment right now, and if you’re looking to switch up your go-to manicure, they’re worth your attention.

Once the nail tech adds fake nail tips, they will file the nail down to the requested shape, and then use the “dip” technique to apply a thin layer of colored powder to the nail.
