Nu Image Nails & Day Spa - nail salon 93101 - Santa Barbara : SNS nails aren’t new, but they haven’t been hugely popular until recent years. If you’re looking to switch your fingernail game up a bit, find out everything you need to know about SNS—a new, natural option for nail enhancements.

What Is SNS?

SNS stands for Signature Nail Systems. It is a branded powder-dipping system, accompanied by a brush-on, gel-based polish.
SNS comes in an array of colors and shades and consists of benzoyl peroxide, titanium dioxide, acrylic ester polymer, vitamin E and calcium.

How Is SNS Applied To Your Nails?

SNS nails rely on powder rather than layers of gel. The process of applying SNS nails is fairly simple. Let’s break it down:
Your nails are filed and shaped then cleansed with a primer.
The nail technician applies a coat of resin on the nail plate.
Dips each nail into the coloured powder, and secures the colour with a bonding liquid.
The process is repeated a number of times to create the required strength and structure.
Finally there’s the glossy top coat to give the look its luster and shine.
It will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour for the SNS application.
SNS nails cannot be infilled, so when you have regrowth you will have to do a full removal and re-application.
