The BSG Dip System is an alternative no-chip nail strengthening nail system for a long-lasting manicure using BSG Dip Powder Colour and BSG Dip Liquids. This is an air-dry, soak-off removal system with no LED/UV Lamps needed.

Dip powder provides extraordinary strength without the use of an LED/UV lamp.

BSG Dip Powder is a 2-in-1 formula which means, it may be paired with your choice of a monomer to achieve an acrylic set. BSG does not carry, nor plan to carry a line of monomer. The BSG Dip System includes BSG Dip Powder Colours and 5-Free Dip liquids for a long-lasting dip manicure.

The shelf life of the BSG Dip System is 12 months after first use. After 12 months, due to oxidation the BSG Dip Powder may experience slight colour discolouration. Always keep the BSG Dip Liquids closed and tightly sealed before, during and after use to prevent drying out.

Since the Dip Liquids are air-dry products, it is normal that they can get dried over time.

To ensure they stay in their best shape, they must be cleansed and sealed tightly after each use. 
DO NOT FORCE STUCK BOTTLES OPEN. This may cause glass bottles to shatter.

We highly recommend to use #5 Brush Saver for bottles that are unable to open. The purpose of #5 Brush Saver is to effectively cleanse, and dissolve any solidified dip powder on brushes both in-between and after use

To open stuck bottles:
Place in very warm water for 2-3 minutes. This will help loosen the dried product.
After 5 minutes, carefully remove from water and swipe #5 Brush Saver around the rim of your bottle and open slowly.
If bottle is still not opening, repeat steps with warmer water.

To clean hardened brushes:
Simply insert the hardened brush into #5 Brush Saver and allow a few minutes to dissolve.
You can also opt to swap the #5 Cap + Brush with the hardened bottle regardless of which type.

Always properly wash and sanitize hands and tools before application.

For personal use, you may opt to dip directly into the Dip Powder container.

For professional salon services, we recommend pouring a small amount of the Dip Powder into a plastic cup for individual use. Properly dispose of the remaining Dip Powder after service.

With proper use and storage, depending on the length of nails, enjoy up to 30+ applications per dip jar.

With proper application, this system will last 2+ weeks.

It is our high quality traditional air-dry nail lacquer, it does not require LED/UV lamps.
