This is the process I use to create perfectly manicured nails using the Kiara Sky Dip Powder System. See below for my step-by-step instructions:


Prep the nail:

  1. cut nails to desired length (skip this step if you want your nails to grow)
  2. shape nail (round, square, coffin, almond)

A few important tips!

Be sure to apply a thin layer of base coat to prevent your nails from becoming too thick

Prevent touching your cuticle with the base and top coat brushes to prevent the nail from lifting as it grows out due to the uneven surface. Your hair will catch on it and it will drive you crazy

The top coat can be tricky. Make sure you use very quick strokes to prevent the brush from hardening. I usually keep 2 bottles of top coat on hand just in case.

Make sure you don’t get the base and top coat polish on the neck of the bottle where the cap twists on. If you do it will harden and make it nearly impossible to open again. I’d recommend wiping the neck of the bottle before applying the cap and putting it away

Be patient with yourself as you learn this process!
