How to Apply GLAMRDiP for a Perfect Manicure

How to Apply GLAMRDiP for a Perfect Manicure

🔨 STEP 1 – PREP

1.1 Prepare your nails

Find your cuticle presser. 

1.2 Push back cuticles

Use the spoon-shaped side of the cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles. This helps ensure good adhesion and a long-lasting result.

1.3 Shape your nails

Use your Deluxe Nail File 180 to gently shape the free edges.

1.4 Remove shine

Use the 240 grit file to gently file the surface of your nails. File just enough to remove the shine but not damage the nail.

1.5 Clean your nails

Gently brush away any excess with a clean brush.


1.6 Optional: Bond

Apply Bond generously to all nails to dry out and remove any oils. This is especially helpful if you have naturally oily nails.

💅 STEP 2 – DIP

2.1 First layer: Clear

Apply Base and dip the nail in Clear powder. If you don't have Clear, you can use the colour powder instead.

  • Avoid skin and edges – the powder will stick where the liquid touches.

  • Repeat the process on each finger.

  • Gently brush away excess powder.

  • Use the pointed side of the cuticle presser to clean along the edges

2.2 Second layer: Colour

Apply a thin layer of Base a little closer to the cuticle, and dip in the colour powder.

PRO TIP: Apply gradually closer to the cuticle with each layer to avoid build-up.

  • Brush away excess powder and use the cuticle presser to clean around each nail

2.3 Third layer: Colour

Repeat the same process, but this time apply all the way up to the cuticle line.

  • Repeat for each finger.

  • Brush away powder and use the cuticle presser to clean around each nail

2.4 Fourth Layer: Clear

Apply a thin layer of Base and dip in Clear again.

  • If you don't have Clear, use your colour powder again.

  • Brush away excess powder and use the cuticle presser to clean around each nail 

✨ STEP 3 – SEAL

3.1 Seal the manicure

Apply the first layer of Seal to each nail.

  • Let dry for 2–3 minutes.

  • Shape and smooth your nails with the Pro Nail File 180

  • Beginners may experience some lumps – that’s completely normal! Practice makes perfect

  • File and polish your nails thoroughly for best results.

  • Brush your nails clean

  • Apply a generous second coat of Seal and wait 2–3 minutes

3.2 Glow

Apply the first coat of Glow in quick, light strokes.

  • Repeat for all nails.

  • Wait 2-3 minutes and apply a second, thin coat for extra shine

3.3 Nourish

Last step – nourishing your nails. 

  • Apply Heal / Care around each cuticle

  • Massage in gently without touching the nails.

💖 Voila!

You now have a salon-perfect manicure – right from home.
