SNS Nail Dip Powder, Gelous Color Dipping Powder - Heirloom Pearls (White, Shimmer) - Long-Lasting Dip Nail Color Lasts 14 Days - Low-Odor & No UV Lamp Required - 1 OZ

Color was great

I like the color have not used it yet. It’s what I’ve been looking for.

Powder pictured is 'Great Blue Hole'. Color is relatively true to the product images and true to the color of the powder itself-- it doesn't change much on the nail. I gave it 4/5 starts because I had some issues with clumpiness which warranted quite a bit of buffing-- enough that I did not feel like shaping my nails as carefully once I was done dipping because it had taken such a huge chunk of time. I am using AZUREBEAUTY dip liquids, so this may not be the case with thinner liquids, though I haven't had this problem with the two other SNS dip powders I've tried (Natural Balance Out and French White).I built the apex of the nail using three progressively widened/lengthened layers of SNS Natural Balance Out, which went on absolutely perfectly, and then three complete layers of Great Blue Hole. I could not have gotten away with less than that or I'd have opacity issues. Next time, I will likely use white as a base so that the color comes out brighter.This set is over my natural nails, which I have cut and filed into an almond/claw shape. I have large hands so the nails are quite long. Aside from the clumping issues, you can see that the powder itself is extremely durable. I've used the same liquids with numerous other powders and SNS brand is the strongest by far. This is three weeks of wear and the powder has not cracked at all, even though this is a fragile shape. To be clear, every single other brand I've tried (Revel, AzureBeauty, Gellen, Aiilsa, Kiara Sky) would have cracked, chipped, lifted, or broken by now, at least a little bit. I followed the exact same process I always do. I am not gentle on my nails either, which is obvious given the dip top coat has started cracking away.I've hit these nails constantly, played competitive outdoor volleyball, gone to the gym and scratched them against metal bars and weights, and the dip is just as strong as the day I dipped them-- super impressive. I definitely plan on buying more SNS brand dip powders in the future and keeping this set until the powder cracks or they're so grown out I'm forced to.

Nails, SNS

The color is very different when used

Easy to use

This color claims to be white pearl. i thought it would be a little iridescent like a pearl. But it’s basically just white . Still a pretty color white .

This orange is more neon in real life than as dark/redish it is in the picture.
