SNS Pro - Green Book Collection - #047

#047 is a light nude from the SNS Pro 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.

A nude like this is the workhorse of a color wall: full sets, French bases, and the client who wants her nails to look like her nails, only better. The Green Book carries 19 nudes and browns, so compare the neighbours below to pick the undertone that suits the hand.

Why this powder

• Skip the activator. This powder sets on its own over base, so the service is two coats shorter than a standard dip and there is no activator bottle to buy or to spill.
• The same shade in gel and lacquer. Every piece of #047 is matched to one color, which is why the same number is printed on the jar, the gel and the lacquer.
• Two services from one jar. Dip it over base with no lamp, or sculpt it with monomer as an acrylic.
• Built as a system. We formulate the base and the powder with our Nutri-Plus system, which adds vitamins and minerals, and the powder combines bonding, strength, shine, protection and easy removal.

How to apply #047

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 #047 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 #047 gel and a gel top, each cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
3. Lacquer. Two air-dried coats of the #047 lacquer for toes or touch-ups.

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

Two bottles finish the dip service, a base and a top coat, both under Dip Essentials. If you run the duo as a gel service, the gel base and gel top are under Base & Top Gel.

Questions about #047

Is the swatch photo accurate?

It is the best online reference, but a screen is not a nail. For a color decision, match #047 against the physical Green Book. Packaging styles vary by batch; the code and the shade are the same.

Can I sculpt with the #047 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.

How do I remove #047?

Acetone soak for the dip and the gel, ordinary remover for the lacquer. Wear is a few weeks for most clients, more or less depending on prep and what the hands do all day.

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