Why does my Dip look uneven, patchy, grainy, lumpy, or wavy?Updated a day ago

Dip powder finishes vary by formula. Traditional dip powders typically use acrylic-based ingredients to create their signature finish, while Olive & June’s non-acrylic, plant-based Dip Powder takes a different approach. For the best results, buff your manicure until the surface is completely matte, smooth, and even before the final Dip Activator application and Top Coat. This helps create a beautifully natural-looking, smooth finish.

• Use thin, even layers of Base Coat.
• Avoid double-dipping.
• Swirl the Dip Powder before and throughout application to keep it fluffy.
• Dip each nail immediately after applying Base Coat.
• After the first Activator application has dried fully, buff with the coarser side followed by the smoother side of the buffer until the nail is matte, smooth, and even. Then continue with the final Activator and Top Coat steps.
