SNS
SNS: Revolutionary dipping powder system offering durable, yet lightweight nail solutions.
Product Application
SNS, or Signature Nail Systems, is a unique, fast-acting product widely used in the nail industry. Unlike the traditional nail polish, SNS is a dipping powder system, used in beauty treatments for its impeccable look and durability. SNS nails are applied using a multi-step process. Firstly, your nails are washed and dried thoroughly. Second, a base coat is applied onto your natural nails. Each nail is then dipped into the SNS dipping powder, which immediately hardens when interacting with the base coat. Repeated for robustness, layers create a stunning high-gloss enamel finish, and an activation polish is brushed on to lock the layers together. The process is finished off with a glossy top coat. It’s a simple and speedy process that replaces the lengthy curing times of the traditional gel or acrylic systems. It's also quite a lot kinder to your natural nails.
The Result
SNS nails produce an incredibly resilient and lightweight natural nail enhancement. With their hard-wearing nature, you won't experience the chipping, lifting, or cracking common with traditional manicures. They replicate the shine of natural nails while adding strength and durability - perfect for those with a busy lifestyle. The finish is beautifully shiny and can also be styled neat and sophisticated or funky and vibrant, whichever suits your style preference. Additionally, SNS nails are enriched with vitamins A, E, D3, and B5, and calcium to nourish and protect your natural nails, promoting a healthy growth beneath the polish. So, when the SNS coating is removed, your natural nails are left healthy, undamaged, and primed for your next nail adventure!
