Strong and Durable: Unlike regular polish, they are less prone to breaking or chipping.

Quick Application: The process is faster than gel nails, with little to no drying time.

No UV Light: Dip powder nails don’t require UV light for curing, reducing skin exposure to harmful rays.

Natural Look: Dip nails can offer a more natural look compared to acrylics while still being sturdy.

Removal Process: Taking off dip nails can be time-consuming and might cause damage if not done properly.
