SNS Pro - Yellow Green Book Collection - #028

The pale peach at #028 in the SNS Pro Yellow 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.

A peach like this one is booked as a sheer-looking everyday color, and it pairs with the pale nudes in the Yellow Green Book for a soft French. The powder lays down more opaque than the lacquer, so check the swatch for the full-coverage look.

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 #028 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.

Specs for #028

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 #028

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 #028, 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 #028 gel, cured after each. Gel top, cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
3. Lacquer. Two coats of the #028 lacquer, air-dried. Top coat optional.

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

The dip needs a base and a top coat and nothing else: they are under Dip Essentials. Gel base and top for the duo are under Base & Top Gel.

Questions about #028

Is the swatch photo accurate?

It is the best online reference, but a screen is not a nail. For a color decision, match #028 against the physical Yellow Green Book. Packaging styles vary by batch; the code and the shade are the same.

How long does #028 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 #028 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 Yellow Green Book. Packaging styles may vary by batch.
