SNS Pro - Burgundy Book Collection - #086

Code #086 of the SNS Pro Burgundy Book: a taupe. 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.

Browns and earth tones are fall and winter shades on most walls, and this one holds up well as a full set or as the dark half of a two-tone. It sits with the 13 nudes and browns on the Burgundy Book card, so it is a natural step up from a nude for a client who wants more depth.

Why this powder

• The same shade in gel and lacquer. Every piece of #086 is matched to one color, which is why the same number is printed on the jar, the gel and the lacquer.
• Built as a system. Our Nutri-Plus system adds vitamins and minerals to the base coat and the powder, and the GelStar gel is formulated with vitamin E and calcium.
• Two services from one jar. Dip it over base with no lamp, or pick it up with monomer and sculpt it as an acrylic.
• Four ways to buy. Powder, gel only, duo or the 3-in-1, at the same price for every code in the book.

Specs for #086

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 #086

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 #086, 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 #086 GelStar, cure the gel top and wipe.
3. Lacquer on the toes. Two coats of the #086 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.

For the dip you need our base, the Sealer Dry activator and a top coat, all under Dip Essentials. The gel base and gel top for the GelStar are under Base & Top Gel.

Questions about #086

Can I buy #086 as part of a set?

Yes. It sits on board 3 of the Burgundy Book, codes #073 to #108, and the board is sold as one bundle in each format, 36 codes at a time. The full 144-code book is also sold as one bundle.

How long does #086 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.

The SNS dip essentials: EA Bond on the bare plate, Gel Base for each dip, Sealer Dry as the activator, and Gel Top to finish. They are the same bottles for every code in the Burgundy Book, and they sit in the complementary products on this page and under Dip Essentials.
