SNS Pro - Pink Book Collection - #014

Code #014 of the SNS Pro Pink Book: a rust brown. 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 18 nudes and browns on the Pink Book card, so it is a natural step up from a nude for a client who wants more depth.

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 #014 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 #014

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 #014

Prep once: push back the cuticle, shape, buff the shine off the plate and wipe with alcohol. Then the service decides the piece.

1. Dip. A thin coat of base, dip into #014, tap off the excess, repeat once. Activator over the whole nail, file and buff, a second coat of activator, then top coat. No lamp.
2. Gel. Gel base, cured. Two thin coats of the #014 GelStar, cured after each. Gel top, cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
3. Lacquer. Two coats of the #014 lacquer, air-dried. Top coat optional.

Removal for dip and gel is an acetone soak, never a peel.

The dip needs a base, an activator and a top coat: they are under Dip Essentials. Gel base and top for the GelStar are under Base & Top Gel.

Questions about #014

Which board is #014 on?

Board 1, which runs #001 to #036. The board is sold as one bundle in the same formats as this listing, so it is a way to fill a quarter of a Pink Book wall in one order. The full book of 144 codes is sold the same way.

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 #014 does either job.

How long does #014 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.
