SNS Pro - Yellow Green Book Collection - #021

Code #021 of the SNS Pro Yellow Green Book: a pale mint. 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.

Greens are a small family in the Yellow Green Book, so this one has few close substitutes. It is a full-set color for spring and summer and a strong accent nail against a nude.

Why this powder

• Fewer steps. Two thin coats of base, two of powder, then file and top coat. No activator coat at any point, and no lamp for the dip.
• Hands and toes in one code. The gel and lacquer duo carries the same shade as the powder, so a client can wear #021 as dip on the hands and lacquer on the toes.
• Acrylic-ready. Sculpt the same powder with monomer when the client wants length rather than an overlay.
• One formula for the five jobs. Bonding, strength, shine, protection and easy removal, with our Nutri-Plus vitamins and minerals in the base and the powder.

Pick the format on the selector above; the price shown there is the same for every code in the Yellow Green Book. The gel is not sold on its own in this book, it comes in the duo or in the 3-in-1 set.

How to apply #021

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 #021 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 #021 gel and a gel top, each cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
3. Lacquer. Two air-dried coats of the #021 lacquer for toes or touch-ups.

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

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 #021

Which board is #021 on?

Board 1, which runs #001 to #030. 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 Yellow Green Book wall in one order. The full book of 120 codes is sold the same way.

Are the gel and the lacquer the same shade as the powder?

Yes, by design. The same number is printed on the jar, the gel and the lacquer because the three are matched to one color. Resins and pigment loads differ between a powder, a gel and a lacquer, so the match is engineered rather than automatic. Check it on the swatch photo or the physical book, not on a screen.

Can I sculpt with the #021 powder?

Yes. It is a dip and acrylic powder: dip it over base for an overlay, or pick it up with monomer and sculpt it over a form like any acrylic. The same jar covers both services, which is why the format is named Dip/Acrylic.
