SNS Pro - Yellow Green Book Collection - #078

#078 is a violet from the SNS Pro Yellow Green Book. The powder dips with no activator and sculpts with monomer, the gel is a soak-off gel polish and the lacquer air-dries, and all three are matched to this one shade. Choose the format above; the price is the same for every code in the book.

Purples are a small family in the Yellow Green Book, so this one has few substitutes. It is a full-set shade that works in every season, and the matching lacquer makes it an easy pedicure pairing.

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 #078 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 #078

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 #078

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 #078 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 #078 gel and a gel top, each cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
3. Lacquer. Two air-dried coats of the #078 lacquer for toes or touch-ups.

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

Pair the powder with a base and a top coat from Dip Essentials, and the gel with a base and top from Base & Top Gel. No activator is needed with this book.

Questions about #078

Can I buy #078 as part of a set?

Yes. It sits on board 3 of the Yellow Green Book, codes #061 to #090, 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 #078 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 #078 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.
