Description

Green Book #011 is a seafoam green, one of the 120 codes in the SNS Pro Green Book, the dip and acrylic powder that sets without an activator. Pick the format on this listing: the powder alone, the matching gel and lacquer duo, or all three as a 3-in-1 set. The shade is the same in each.

Greens are a small family in the Green Book, so this one has few close substitutes. It is a full-set color for spring and summer and a strong accent nail against a nude.

Why this powder

  • No activator step. Base, powder, base, powder, file, top coat. The two activator coats of a standard dip service are gone, along with the smell at the table.
  • One code, three formats. The powder, the gel and the lacquer of #011 are built to one shade, so the hands and the toes match without a re-swatch.
  • Dip or sculpt. The powder dips over base, and it also sculpts with monomer like an acrylic, so one jar covers both services.
  • Our 5-in-1 formula. Bonding, strength, shine, protection and an easier soak-off removal in one powder, and our Nutri-Plus system adds vitamins and minerals to the base coat and the powder.

How to apply #011

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 #011 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 #011 gel and a gel top, each cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
  3. Lacquer. Two air-dried coats of the #011 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 #011

Which board is #011 on?

Board 1, which runs #001 to #030. The board is sold as one bundle in the same formats as this listing, so it is a way to fill a quarter of a Green Book wall in one order. The full book of 120 codes is sold the same way.

Are the gel and the lacquer the same shade as the powder?

Yes, by design. The same number is printed on the jar, the gel and the lacquer because the three are matched to one color. Resins and pigment loads differ between a powder, a gel and a lacquer, so the match is engineered rather than automatic. Check it on the swatch photo or the physical book, not on a screen.

Can I sculpt with the #011 powder?

Yes. It is a dip and acrylic powder: dip it over base for an overlay, or pick it up with monomer and sculpt it over a form like any acrylic. The same jar covers both services, which is why the format is named Dip/Acrylic.

Color swatches vary with screens and lighting. For accuracy, match against the physical SNS Green Book. Packaging styles may vary by batch.
