REMINDER

At NuGenesis Nails Inc. one of our main concern is to be sanitary when using our dip products.  We always instruct and teach nail technicians when using the dip powder process to always do the following first:

1) Inspect clients hands to ensure there is no fungus or open cuts;

2) Ask client to wash their hands and use a sanitary lotion (accessible via the nail salon) before being seated;

3) Clean each nail and apply alcohol for cleanliness before applying our dip powder

Similar to applying nail polish or acrylic where the same brush is repeatedly dipped into the polish or polymer we would encourage nail technicians to maintain a high standard of sanitary procedure even when choosing this much loved alternate process/technique.  

Do you have additional questions? We'd love to hear from you. Please contact a NuGenesis Nails Master Distributor here or DM our Dip Powder Educators here.
