Dip powder colors and liquids to try

Purple Star emoji 15 items
Dip powder is where my nail addiction started. I was interested in doing my nails at home, but I wanted something that would last for several weeks, has a nice color payoff, and would add some strength to my nails. And dip powder satisfies all of the...

Solid dip color powders

You can't go wrong with solid or sheer dip powders. Use them as a base or create ombre looks with them!

This is such a pretty color for ocean or beach themed looks! It honestly doesn't look super green in person unless you do 4-5 coats, but I like the sheerness.

This is called Hot Date for a reason--this is the truest tone red I've come across for dip powders.

A beautiful deep burgundy purple that is a perfect base for foils and toppers.

If you haven't noticed I'm a glitter girl! Here's a variety of shimmer and glitter dips, from large to small.

I think this may be one of my favorite dip powders. It's such a beautiful, subtle glitter that (honestly, I love CN Designer Dips for this reason) is buildable.

If you have longer nails, thermal nails are a cool way to get a subtle ombre effect with very little work.

The glow effect lasts for a little over a week with these dips, which I think is pretty good given how bright these are! Just make sure to “charge” your nails in the sun.

This is bluer than the sample picture looks! The glow is also a subtle blue that is nice and bright.

This is a two for one! It is a color changing dip base with foil flakes that is perfect for the fall.

Foil dip color powders

Honestly the best for when you want to look like you put a lot of effort into your nails.

Starts off sheer but is super buildable. Great for creating a romantic set.

If you want a hot set, use this for an accent nail or two with red nails. Also starts of sheer but becomes more opaque after several layers.

The flakes here are much smaller than the others on this list. You do need to do at least 3-4 layers in order to get the full effect, otherwise it serves more as a topper.

Liquids and accessories

My favorite liquids for dip! Pro tip--if you're prone to dip flu, you can use gel polish (make sure you do the pour over method + cure between layers) instead.

Dip liquids are basically glue--and as a result, your brushes may start to stick together over time. Sticking a brush into dip saver will help soften and prolong the lifespan of your brushes, so this is definitely a must have!

I'm pretty prone to getting dip flu, and while this isn't odorless, this base isn't too overpowering.

If you have dip flu then I recommend these liquids! I will note that these don't have the same staying power as normal dip liquids, though. You can usually get 4-5 days out of a mani so these are nice if you like to switch things up!
