Base Coat · DND DC - #2 Base Gel - Dipping Essential 0.5 oz — The foundation step of any dip manicure — paint a thin, even layer right before dipping powder to lock the color onto the nail plate.

What It Does

DND DC - #2 Base Gel - Dipping Essential 0.5 oz is the base liquid in a dip powder manicure system. Brushed onto the prepared nail immediately before dipping into the colored acrylic powder, it ensures even powder pickup and a smooth, lifted-color-free surface. The base liquid is the moisture in the cured dip layer — get this thin and even and the rest of the manicure follows.

Why Pros Choose This

• Even powder pickup: thin viscosity prevents pooling at cuticle or sidewalls
• Pairs with any dip system: base → powder → base → powder → activator → top
• Built-in flat brush: fast painting, no bottle changes
• Salon-grade resin formula sized at 0.5 oz for working stock

How to Use

1. Prep nail (file, dehydrator, bond if used)
2. Paint a thin coat of Dipping Base on entire nail plate
3. Immediately dip nail straight down into colored powder, tap excess
4. Repeat for 1-3 coats of color, then apply activator and top coat per system
