Precautions & Warnings.

  • Use only as directed. Read instructions before use.
  • Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
  • Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhaling fumes. Do not ingest.
  • Store in a cool, dry place. Keep away from heat.

Base It And Top It.

Bonds skin and eyes in seconds. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. If bonding occurs on the skin, do not pull apart. Soak in warm soapy water and gently peel apart.

Patch Test Required.

Before using our Dip Manicure Set, it is essential to carry out a patch test on one nail to ensure you have no allergies or sensitivities, including a reaction known as "dip flu."

What Is Dip Flu?

Dip flu refers to an allergic-like reaction some individuals experience due to exposure to dip powder fumes or ingredients. Symptoms may include coughing, sneezing, watery eyes, or nasal congestion. Although not common, it’s important to take precautions to ensure your safety.

How to Perform a Patch Test:

Apply the products to one nail, following the instructions on our website.

Monitor the area for 24-48 hours for any signs of irritation, redness, swelling, or discomfort.

If you experience any adverse reactions or symptoms of dip flu, discontinue use immediately, remove the product if possible and consult a medical professional.

1 Step - NAIL PREP

Important Information
  • Don't wash your hands 60 minutes before the application. - moisture can affect the quality and overall lasting results of your manicure.
  • Make sure your hands are completely moisturiser & oil free. - Oils act as a barrier between the natural nail plate and product and will cause early lifting.
Product Needed

A metal cuticle pusher stands upright on a smooth, light-colored surface with a soft, blurred white background.

Now, gently push back the cuticles using the cuticle pusher. With the other side, remove all dead skin from the nail. Make sure there is no white tissue left, as this can make them prone to lifting. Repeat on all nails.

Complete!
✔
C:

Gently buff the entire nail plate with the soft side of your file (logo side), starting at the cuticle and moving to the free edge. Ensure all shine is removed—including near the sides and cuticles—to prevent lifting. Avoid overfiling to protect your nails, and finish by brushing away all dust with the powder brush.

2 Step - BASE + DIP.

Important Information
  • Wherever Base It is applied, powder will stick. It is crucial that you don’t allow any Base It to touch your cuticles or skin, this will lead to chipping, cracking and lifting nails.
  • Make sure to apply THIN layers of the Base It. if you apply the Base it too thickly the layers won't set properly.
  • Wipe your Base It brush onto the paper towel after each nail, this avoids cross contamination.
  • In this tutorial, we’ll discuss ‘capping the free edge.’ This technique involves swiping the brush along the tip of the nail plate after applying each layer. It helps prevent chipping at the edges, ensuring longer-lasting results.
  • When you're not using the bottle make sure to fully screw on the lid to prevent the brush from going hard.
  • Coat 1 nail at a time and DIRECTLY dip your finger into the powder. Base It dries quickly so working on 1 nail at a time is important.

Now it’s time to APPLY first layer of BASE IT + DIP

Work One Nail at a Time: Apply the base coat to one nail and dip it directly into the powder before it dries. Here is a detailed explanation:

  1. Apply a Thin, Even Layer: Use a light hand to apply a thin and even coat of Base It, ensuring you cover all areas of the nail, including the sides, and get as close to the edges as possible—without touching the skin or cuticle.
  2. Swipe the Free Edge: After coating the nail with base it, use the remaining product on your brush to swipe the very tip of your nail (the free edge). This ensures the entire nail is encapsulated in product for better durability.
  3. Dip Immediately: Dip your nail into the powder at a 45-degree angle (or backwards dipping for longer nails or extensions). Check the QR code for a detailed demonstration.
  4. Ensure Full Coverage: Make sure your nail is fully covered in powder. Then, gently tap off the excess powder before moving to the next nail.

Once you’ve done this on 1 nail (base + dip) you can move on to the next nail. Repeat the above on all nails.

✔
optional
D:

If the powder on your nail appears wet, you've used too much base coat and you need to redip your finger without adding more base it. Repeat on nails that appear wet.

Complete!

E:

After you've done all your nails brush off any excess powder with the powder brush. Repeat on all nails.

F:

Now clean up the edges & cuticle area with the back of the cuticle pusher (or the clean up tool from the manicure toolbox) so you get a neat cuticle. Repeat on all nails.

3 Step - ACTIVATE IT.

Important Information
  • The 2. ACTIVATE IT is the solution that hardens the nails to prevent
chipping & cracking.
  • Make sure to apply generously, VERY GENEROUSLY all over the nail plate.
  • The free-edge of the nail is most likely to chip & crack because it's the most flexible, make sure to apply generously on the free-edge.
  • Don’t worry if your nails are clumpy or uneven—this step will perfect their shape. It’s normal for first attempts to be a bit clumpy, but 97% of our customers get flawless results by their third try. You’ve got this!
Product Needed
A beige bottle of Sassy Saints - Brings The Salon Home 2. Activate It dip powder activator sits on a light surface with a softly blurred background, perfect for achieving a durable manicure.
Activate it
A beige nail file stands upright on a light-colored surface with the words SASSY SAINTS printed on it; the background is softly blurred.

powder brush
Two white paper towel rolls are placed on a wooden surface, one standing upright and the other lying horizontally. The background is softly blurred with green and white tones.
Paper towel (Optional)
STEP BY STEP GUIDE
A:

Apply 1 very generous layer of activator to the full nail plate. It's important to coat the edges and the free edge also. Use plenty, avoiding the skin around the nails. Repeat on all nails.

Complete!
✔
B:

Set your timer for 2 minutes and wait until the activator has fully hardened.

Complete!
✔
C:

Grab the fine side of the nail file and file until all bumps, and impurities disappear, leaving the nail perfectly smooth. Don’t hesitate to file until the surface is thin and even—the free edge of your nail should be roughly the thickness of a credit card when viewed directly.

If your nails are too thick, continue filing until you're satisfied with the thickness. However, if they’re thinner than a credit card, they may be too thin and more likely to chip. In that case, we recommend applying another layer of Base It & Dip to reinforce them. Repeat on all nails.

Complete!

D:

When you are done shaping: Remove the excess dust with the powder brush. Repeat on all nails.

Wait 2 minutes until all the nails are FULLY dry.

4 Step - TOP IT.

Important Information
  • When you're not using the bottle, make sure to fully screw on the lid to prevent the brush from going hard.
  • The 'Top it' sticks so do NOT touch your skin or cuticles to avoid premature cracking.
  • And if you apply a too thick layer of the Top it, a “blister” will occur, so ensure your layers are thin and even.
  • Remember to seal in the tip of your nail by capping the free edge to prevent chipping and cracking.
Product Needed
A matte beige bottle of Sassy Saints - Brings The Salon Home 3. Top It nail polish sits on a light surface with a soft, blurred background—ideal for adding a flawless top coat to your manicure.

Cleaning After Use

This step is important to ensure you keep your kit in great working order!

  • To prevent the neck of the bottle of step 1 & 3 getting stuck, clean the neck of the bottles after each use. Go over outside the neck of the bottle with the brush cleaner and clean it with paper towel. Also make sure to store them upright
  • Did your brushes harden? Start by cleaning your brush with a paper towel. Then, swap it with the Step 4 'Clean It' brush (be sure to also clean the 'Clean It' brush with paper towel before placing it into the other bottle). Leave the brush in the bottle for 24 hours to soften.
  • Hardened Powder In Brush? If there's any hardened powder in your powder brush you can easily remove it by filing with your nail file.
