SNS Dip & Acrylic Powder #028 Red, Blue Book Collection

SNS Blue Book #028 is a red, here as the powder on its own: one 1.5 oz jar of SNS Pro dip/acrylic powder. The same jar does two services. Dip it over our base for a dip manicure, or sculpt it with monomer like an acrylic. No lamp for either.

What is in the box?

• SNS Pro dip/acrylic powder, #028, 1.5 oz jar.

Dip or acrylic?

Both, from this one jar. For dip: base coat, dip, tap off, repeat, then activator and top coat. For acrylic: pick it up with a monomer-wet brush and sculpt as you would any acrylic powder. A tech who does both services stocks one shade instead of two. The dip liquids are under Dip Essentials.

What does #028 look like?

Red. The second photo is the shade on a nail tip, straight from the Blue Book swatch. Screens and lighting shift color, so if you are matching for a client, check it against the physical SNS Blue Book before you commit.

Does it match the gel and the lacquer?

Yes. We match the powder, the gel and the lacquer of each code to one shade, which SNS calls MasterMatch, and we hold that match to 98 percent by our own measure. #028 in gel and lacquer is the Gel & Lacquer Duo, the gel alone is GelStar gel polish, and all three together are the 3-in-1 set.

Where is the rest of the book?

All 144 shades of the Blue Book as powder are in Blue Book Dip & Acrylic Powder, and the multi-format listing of this code is SNS Blue Book #028. The full powder range is under Acrylic & Dip Powder.

Packaging may vary by batch.
