SNS Pro - Yellow Green Book Collection - #012

Code #012 of the SNS Pro Yellow Green Book: a periwinkle blue. This is a book whose powder needs no activator coat, and every code in it is sold three ways on one listing: the 1.5 oz powder, the gel and lacquer duo, or the 3-in-1 set with all three pieces matched to one shade.

Blues and teals are 15 of the 120 codes in the Yellow Green Book, so this shade has neighbours listed below. This one is a clear blue that reads the same on short and long nails.

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 #012 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 #012

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 Yellow 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 #012

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 #012, tap off the excess, repeat once. File and buff, then top coat. No activator and no lamp.
2. Gel. Gel base, cured. Two thin coats of the #012 gel, cured after each. Gel top, cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
3. Lacquer. Two coats of the #012 lacquer, air-dried. Top coat optional.

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

For the dip you need our base and top coat, both under Dip Essentials; there is no activator to buy. The gel base and gel top for the duo are under Base & Top Gel.

Questions about #012

Can I buy #012 as part of a set?

Yes. It sits on board 1 of the Yellow 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 #012 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 #012 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.
