Helps to speed the drying process and provides flexibility to the final Gelish Dip colour powder layer
To be applied after the second coat of Gelish Dip coloured powder and again after filing and shaping, prior to applying Gelish Dip Top Coat. Whether you’re a seasoned nail technician or building your reputation as a nail artist, this product delivers impeccable results for every client, every time.
Features and Benefits:
- Quick-Drying Formula: The Gelish Dip Activator accelerates the drying process, making it an essential tool for streamlining your workflow. Once applied, the activator works its magic, hardening the dip powder and sealing it in place. This ensures faster service time without compromising the quality, meaning you can accommodate more clients without the hassle of waiting for nails to dry.
- Smooth and Even Finish: Achieving a smooth, glass-like finish is effortless with the Gelish Dip Activator. It works to even out the surface of the dip powder layers, ensuring a professional-grade appearance. No lumps, no uneven patches—just flawless, mirror-like nails that your clients will adore.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: Nail professionals understand that durability is key for client satisfaction. The Gelish Dip Activator ensures that dip powder manicures stay chip-free and glossy for weeks. Its strong bonding properties make it a go-to for long-lasting, resilient nails, ideal for clients with busy lifestyles.
- Low Odour and Gentle Formula: Working long hours in a salon means that strong, overwhelming smells can become an issue. Fortunately, the Gelish Dip Activator has a low odour and is gentle on both clients and nail technicians, offering a comfortable and pleasant salon experience.
- Compatible with All Dip Powder Systems: Versatility is another major plus. While it’s optimised for use with Gelish dip powders, the Gelish Dip Activator works seamlessly with any brand of dip powder system, giving you the flexibility to use it alongside your preferred products.
How to Use:
- Prepare the Nails: Begin by cleaning and lightly buffing the nails to remove any surface shine. Push back the cuticles and ensure the nails are free of oils and residue. A base coat may be applied for additional adhesion if desired.
- Apply Dip Powder: After prepping, apply a thin layer of base coat to the nail and immediately dip it into the coloured dip powder. Tap off excess powder and repeat this process until you’ve achieved the desired opacity, usually 2-3 dips.
- Activate: Once the dip powder has been applied, it’s time to use the Gelish Dip Activator. Apply a generous amount of activator to each nail, covering the entire surface. The activator will speed up the curing process, hardening the dip powder almost instantly. Allow it to dry for about 1-2 minutes.
- Shape and Buff: Once dry, the nails can be shaped and buffed to your client’s desired shape and smoothness. Be sure to buff the nails evenly for a perfect, polished look.
- Apply a Second Layer of Activator: For added durability, apply a second layer of Gelish Dip Activator. This will ensure a long-lasting finish and further harden the nails. Allow to dry completely before the next step.
- Top Coat: Finally, apply the Gelish Top Coat for a high-gloss, protective finish. Let it dry, and your client is ready to go!
