Using this DND Dap Dip Powder is easy. First, prep your nails by filing and buffing them. Then, apply a base coat. After that, dip your nails into the powder and tap off the excess. Repeat the dipping process until you get your desired color intensity. Next, apply a top coat to seal the powder. As for maintenance, avoid using your nails as tools to prevent chipping. Also, use gloves when doing household chores. If you notice any lifting, visit a professional nail technician. Keep the powder in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality.
