SNS Pro - Green Book Collection - #004

The yellow at #004 in the SNS Pro Green Book. Three ways to buy it on this one listing: the 1.5 oz dip and acrylic powder that needs no activator, the soak-off gel and air-dry lacquer duo, or the 3-in-1 set with all three. Same number, same shade, whichever you pick.

Yellows are one of the smallest families in the Green Book, so this code has few substitutes. It is a summer and festival shade, and the dip powder gives it the coverage that a yellow lacquer usually needs three coats to reach.

Why this powder

• No activator step. Base, powder, base, powder, file, top coat. The two activator coats of a standard dip service are gone, along with the smell at the table.
• One code, three formats. The powder, the gel and the lacquer of #004 are built to one shade, so the hands and the toes match without a re-swatch.
• Dip or sculpt. The powder dips over base, and it also sculpts with monomer like an acrylic, so one jar covers both services.
• Our 5-in-1 formula. Bonding, strength, shine, protection and an easier soak-off removal in one powder, and our Nutri-Plus system adds vitamins and minerals to the base coat and the powder.

Specs for #004

The 3-in-1 is the powder, the gel and the lacquer of one code in one box. There is no gel-only variant in the Green Book; the gel comes in the duo or the set. Prices are on the selector above and are the same for every code in the book.

How to apply #004

Prep is the same for all three formats: push the cuticle back, shape, take the shine off the plate, wipe with alcohol.

1. Dip. Two rounds of thin base and #004 powder, then file, buff and top coat. This powder sets without an activator, so that step is simply left out. No lamp.
2. Gel. Gel base, two thin coats of the #004 gel and a gel top, each cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
3. Lacquer. Two air-dried coats of the #004 lacquer for toes or touch-ups.

Both the dip and the gel come off with an acetone soak.

Two bottles finish the dip service, a base and a top coat, both under Dip Essentials. If you run the duo as a gel service, the gel base and gel top are under Base & Top Gel.

Questions about #004

Can I buy #004 as part of a set?

Yes. It sits on board 1 of the Green Book, codes #001 to #030, and the board is sold as one bundle in each format, 30 codes at a time. The full 120-code book is also sold as one bundle.

How long does #004 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.

Is #004 used with an activator?

It is not. This is one of the two SNS Pro books whose powder sets on its own over base, so the service is base, powder, base, powder, file and top coat. Mixing the activator routine from the other books into this one is where mistakes come from, so keep the two routines apart.

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