Product Information

Alcohol, Aqua, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Ethyl Acetate, Tocopheryl acetate, Acetone, Isopropyl myristate, C.I. Acid Red 33, Pigment White 6 You don't have to say goodbye to the perfect manicure if you have brittle or damaged nails with this kit. The color powders included are infused with biotin and calcium to strengthen the nails, all while adding color and shine. We love that it comes with everything you need—including a base coat, activator, and top coat—and it's simple to follow for beginners. Activator: Similarly, you’ll also want to make sure your kit comes with an activator, a chemical that’s used to dry the dip base and greatly speeds up the process, Totty says. Look for a comprehensive kit that includes the bonder and activator to be sure you'll have everything you need. I’m a short nails kind of girl and I love how Sistaco makes my hands look fabulous. I love how easy and fun it is and the richness of all the colors. It doesn’t fade and it lasts a long time. Best invention! (These are cerise and red metallic) We love this kit for anyone who wants to bring the whole salon home, as it really provides all the ingredients for an elevated DIY dip mani or pedi.

Tools: You'll need a variety of tools to accomplish dip nails at home, including a nail file for buffing and a brush to apply the product. Many kits on this list, including the AZUREBEAUTY Dip Powder Kit and the wakaniya Dipping Powder, contain replacement brushes as well. I love, love, love the holographic colours as they are so striking and really do look like something you’d have done in a salon. The purple in my carousel above is the holographic Violet Sky and it is just so fun! The key to holographic is to use the sponge to work it into the nail in small circles. Violet Sky was the first ever Sistaco shade I used, and as you can see, it looks really neat and tidy. I also applied thin layers of both the base and top coat, and to make it all really last, I actually applied more than one coat, so I think it went base coat, top coat, powder, top coat, powder, top coat – if I remember correctly! Just make sure you cure properly and it lasts absolutely ages. This kit is a playground of color that's perfect for rainbow nails, supremely glossy finishes, or even matte nails. The application process consists of a base coat, activator, and top coat, and this kit even comes with additional brushes so your liquids don't harden on you over time. One reviewer did say a jar of powder is only worth two to three manicures, which speaks to why there are so many colors to choose from and at such a budget-friendly price. Sistaco Mineral Bond is basically a nail polish in powder form, but not those horrible acrylic powders that leave a hard, fat layer of plastic on your nail that’s virtually impossible to remove without damaging the nail underneath, Sistaco Mineral Bond is literally a coloured mineral powder that you buff or brush on the nail surface and set with gel base and top coats. There are three types of finishes: Classic, Metallic and Holographic, and you can apply the metallic and holographic products in two ways to give you either a shiny or a glittery finish. The process is very similar to the application of your typical gel kit, you apply the base coat, cure it, apply the powder, apply the top coat, cure it and you’re good to go. There are variants on this technique (for example, for holographic and metallic you would apply the base coat, then the top coat, then cure, then apply the powder before following the top coat) but it’s all pretty simple and explained well within the instructions.

Writer Chelsea Avila first took note of how long-lasting powder manicures can be by word of all the women in her family. So when it came time to update this article, she made sure to do a deep dive into the user experience with each at-home kit and helped outline what makes them a worthy competitor to the salon. This dip powder kit is a great buy to create glittered accent nails. With silver and purple full-coverage glitter powders, you can coordinate the rest of the muted, electric, and neutral hues offered interchangeably. We do recommend this kit to someone who already has the dip powder liquids necessary to create an SNS manicure at home stashed away because reviewers note that the base and activator liquid that comes with this kit isn't as high quality as the powder itself. This affordable option is great for someone who wants to try out dip color without investing,” says nail artist Syreeta Aaron, a LeChat Nails Educator. (However, she does note that the results may not be quite up to par with what you’d get with other products.) Still, if you’re just looking to test the dip powder waters or aren’t concerned about the results lasting a super long time, this is a good option. You get one color included with the kit, a nude pink, though other colors are available.

Hi, I’ve just discovered Sistaco and also other at home dip powder systems (I rarely get my nails done, maybe once a year or less, and never do them at home), and I was wondering if you have also tried the Glamrdip system? I’m trying to find a comparison between the two so I can decide what to buy, as they are pretty much the same price point. I’ve been using Sistaco for a year now, and have not had any adverse reactions or Onycholysis (or however it is spelled). If you are allergic to the ingredients, it will happen with any program with the ingredients. The kit also provides all the tools needed for a salon-grade experience at home: a Pro Soak Removal Tray and Acetone, an Essential Dip Liquids, a Dip Powder Mini Tray (which isolates any mess), a Build Powder, and a Pro Powder Brush. If you're really particular and love to pay close attention to detail, you'll especially appreciate the included Four-Way File, Cuticle Milk Nail Serum, and Cuticle Tool.

Bonder: Also known as a non-acid primer, you’ll definitely want a kit containing one of these as it’s an essential prep step that will ensure a good application, says Totty. For one, the NAGAIA Dip Kit features primer and a base coat liquid, which work together to help bond the powder to the nail.

Pro tip: To achieve a smooth final look, have the patience to let the top coat fully dry and settle. Also, note that this kit doesn’t come with powder trays, so make sure your mani station is ready for the project. I love this product it lasts for weeks! Polish 'grows' off instead of chipping or peeling off. Once you've got the base coat, it's so easy to just add to the colours you’ve got, and I even mix mine to make my own custom colours! As the colours only need 1 coat the powders seriously last ages! Way cheaper than going to the salon and looks like you have!Nails have really upgraded over the last few years. From traditional polish to gel manicures to out-of-this-world nail art, expressing yourself through the tips of your fingers almost feels necessary now. It's why we're not the only ones obsessing over dip powder manicures. The name comes from its unique application—an adhesive base is applied onto a clean, dried nail, then dipped into a powder color made of a highly pigmented polymer of your choice. Several coats can be “dipped” and then coated with a glossy sealant.
