Is dip powder more expensive than gel?

There is a new nail trend in town that is revolutionizing the way we do our manicures - dip powder nails.

But wait, why is dip powder more expensive than gel?

Dip powder is generally more expensive than gel manicures due to its longevity and durability.

While the initial cost of dip powder nails may be higher, they can last longer than gel nails, which can make them a cost-effective option in the long run. The application process and the materials used for dip powder nails contribute to their higher cost compared to gel nails. Dip powder nails are made by dipping the nails in colored powder acrylic mixed with a glue-type resin that cures in the air, while gel nails are cured using UV or LED light after each coat of gel polish is applied.

The durability of dip powder nails makes them less likely to chip and break, and they can last up to four weeks, whereas gel nails typically last two to three weeks. Therefore, the higher cost of dip powder nails is often justified by their longer-lasting nature and durability.

NAGAIA™ has created a super fine dip powder that makes your manicure task extremely pleasant and effective in a seamless and done-well way, from the comfort of your home.

Dipping Powder Benefits

Dipping powder nails have taken the beauty world by storm in recent years, and for good reason. One of the biggest benefits of dip powder is its long-lasting power. Unlike gel polish that can chip within days or even hours, dip powder nails can stay intact for up to four weeks! This means less time spent at the salon getting touch-ups and more time showing off your fabulous manicure.

Another advantage of dip powder is its durability. The powders are specially formulated with ingredients that make them incredibly strong and resistant to cracking or lifting. This makes them perfect for those who lead an active lifestyle or work with their hands a lot.

One of the best things about dip powder is how versatile it is in terms of color options. With hundreds (if not thousands) of shades to choose from, you'll never get bored with your nail color choices. Whether you prefer vibrant and bold hues or classic neutrals, there's a dip powder shade out there just waiting for you.

Additionally, dip powder is known for being gentle on the nails. Unlike gel polish which requires UV light to cure by increasing the intensity of contraction strength and even causing pain, dip powder doesn't require any harsh chemicals or UV exposure. This means you can have beautiful, long-lasting nails without worrying about damaging your natural nails. Or at least the hazard-free routine your nail way.

Lastly, dip powder is easy to remove. Simply soak your nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes and the powder will easily come off without damaging your natural nails. This makes it a great option for those who like to change their nail color frequently.

In summary, some of the main benefits of dip powder include:

• Long-lasting wear (up to 4 weeks)
• Durability and resistance to chipping or lifting
• Versatile color options
• Gentle on the nails
• Easy removal process

Additionally, dipping powder nails offers a healthier alternative compared to other types of nail enhancements. Many traditional acrylics or gel contain chemicals like formaldehyde which can be harsh on your natural nails and skin. Qualified dipping powder manicures generally keep you away from harmful chemicals, making them gentler on your nails while still providing strength and longevity.
