Admittedly, I feel like this is more general "nails" than dip powder. But I wanted to share, as so many people are moving to the gel method to avoid dip flu, that you can use dip powder as the base to get the strength and then do designs on top.

I took inspo from tessa.lyn.nails on Instagram and recreated the look.

​

I used Beetles gel base and Dipwell's Natural Pink for the dip powder base. Then a super cheap nail art kit from amazon for the design. Gel top coat is OPI Stay Shiny.

​

I'm interested to see how long the design lasts, but generally with the gel method, I change my color every 2 to 2 1/2 weeks due to lifting at the cuticle and general nail growth.
