1. No Usage Of UV Lights 

The primary advantage of dip powder nails is that you don't need to cure your nails with UV light after you've applied a top coat to them. 

2. It's Safe 

The advantage of having your nails done with dips is that they are often safer than other nail manicures like acrylic and gel. They are safe and don't harm your natural nails because no harsh chemicals are used in their application. 

3. Odour Free 

The fact that the dip nails have no fragrance is one of the benefits that increase their value. The ingredients used in the powders and coating oils, unlike nail paints, are completely odourless. Regular nail polish has a strong fragrance that some people find triggers their receptors. 

4. Long Lasting Duration 

Dip-powder nails can easily last up to three to four months. When performed correctly by an expert, you can expect that your nails won't chip for up to a month.
