SNS Pro - Blue Book Collection - #114

Code #114 of the SNS Pro Blue Book: a coral pink. Every code in this book is sold four ways on one listing: the 1.5 oz pre-bonded dipping powder, the 0.5 oz GelStar gel, the gel and lacquer duo, or the 3-in-1 set with powder, gel and lacquer matched to one shade.

Pinks and mauves are 40 of the 144 codes in the Blue Book, so this code has close neighbours listed below. Pick by undertone: this one is the shade to sample if you want a pink that reads clearly as pink rather than as a nude.

Why this powder

• Hands and toes in one code. The gel and lacquer duo carries the same shade as the powder, so a client can wear #114 as dip on the hands and lacquer on the toes.
• Nutri-Plus in the jar. We add vitamins and minerals to the base coat and the powder, and vitamin E and calcium to the GelStar gel.
• Acrylic-ready. Sculpt the same powder with monomer when the client wants length rather than an overlay.
• The cheapest way to own a code. The 0.5 oz GelStar gel is sold on its own.

Specs for #114

The 3-in-1 is the powder, the gel and the lacquer of one code in one box. The GelStar gel on its own is the cheapest way to own the code. Prices are on the selector above and are the same for every code in the book.

How to apply #114

Start with a clean, dry plate: cuticles pushed back, nail shaped, shine buffed off, alcohol wipe. Then pick the service.

1. Dip on the hands. Thin base, dip #114, tap, thin base, dip again. Activator, file, buff, activator again, top coat. Nothing to cure.
2. Gel on the hands. Cure a thin gel base, cure two thin coats of the #114 GelStar, cure the gel top and wipe.
3. Lacquer on the toes. Two coats of the #114 lacquer, left to air-dry.

To remove the dip or the gel, soak in acetone. Do not peel; it takes the top layer of the plate with it.

Pair the powder with base, activator and top coat from Dip Essentials, and the gel with a base and top from Base & Top Gel.

Questions about #114

Why does #114 look different on my screen?

Because screens shift color. The swatch photo above is the closest reference we can give online, and the physical Blue Book is the one to use for a client decision. Packaging may vary by batch; the shade does not.

Is this a dip powder or an acrylic powder?

Both. Over base it works as a dip overlay; with monomer it sculpts like an acrylic. One jar of #114 does either job.

How long does #114 last, and how does it come off?

Most clients get a few weeks from a dip set, though prep and lifestyle move that a lot. The dip and the gel both come off with an acetone soak; the lacquer with regular remover. Never peel a dip or gel set, it takes the surface of the nail with it.

Color swatches vary with screens and lighting. For accuracy, match against the physical SNS Blue Book. Packaging styles may vary by batch.
