SNS Pro - Burgundy Book Collection - #054

Code #054 of the SNS Pro Burgundy Book: a pale gray. Every code in this book is sold four ways on one listing: the 1.5 oz pre-bonded dipping powder, the 0.5 oz GelStar gel, the gel and lacquer duo, or the 3-in-1 set with powder, gel and lacquer matched to one shade.

Grays are one of the smallest families in the Burgundy Book, so this one has few substitutes. It is a fall and winter shade for the client who wants something quiet but not nude.

Why this powder

• The same shade in gel and lacquer. Every piece of #054 is matched to one color, which is why the same number is printed on the jar, the gel and the lacquer.
• Built as a system. Our Nutri-Plus system adds vitamins and minerals to the base coat and the powder, and the GelStar gel is formulated with vitamin E and calcium.
• Two services from one jar. Dip it over base with no lamp, or pick it up with monomer and sculpt it as an acrylic.
• Four ways to buy. Powder, gel only, duo or the 3-in-1, at the same price for every code in the book.

Specs for #054

The 3-in-1 is the powder, the gel and the lacquer of one code in one box. The GelStar gel on its own is the cheapest way to own the code. Prices are on the selector above and are the same for every code in the book.

How to apply #054

Prep is the same for every format: push the cuticle back, shape, take the shine off the plate, wipe with alcohol.

1. Dip. Two rounds of thin base and #054 powder, activator, file and buff, a second activator coat, top coat. No lamp.
2. Gel. Gel base, two thin coats of the #054 GelStar and a gel top, each cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
3. Lacquer. Two air-dried coats of the #054 lacquer for toes or touch-ups.

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

Pair the powder with base, activator and top coat from Dip Essentials, and the gel with a base and top from Base & Top Gel.

Questions about #054

Can I buy #054 as part of a set?

Yes. It sits on board 2 of the Burgundy Book, codes #037 to #072, and the board is sold as one bundle in each format, 36 codes at a time. The full 144-code book is also sold as one bundle.

How long does #054 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.

The SNS dip essentials: EA Bond on the bare plate, Gel Base for each dip, Sealer Dry as the activator, and Gel Top to finish. They are the same bottles for every code in the Burgundy Book, and they sit in the complementary products on this page and under Dip Essentials.
