The Best Powder Dip Nail Kits for a Picture-Perfect At-Home Mani
March 02, 2021
If you’re not already on board with the powder dip nail trend, well, you need to get on it ASAP. Instead of painting on liquid polish, you dip your nail into pigmented powder that’s buffed and sealed — no UV light required. The result falls somewhere in between acrylics and gel manis. Powder dip nails are loved for their staying power (they last between two and four weeks) and are a lot less time-intensive to apply than an acrylic set.
We also love them because you can pick up a powder dip nail kit that contains all of the tools you need to DIY it at home, which is especially helpful if your salon isn’t open or you’re not comfortable going due to COVID-19 restrictions. Here, we’re sharing five top-rated kits available at different price points to choose from.
