SNS Pro - Green Book Collection - #082

Code #082 of the SNS Pro Green Book: a periwinkle blue. This is a book whose powder needs no activator coat, and every code in it is sold three ways on one listing: the 1.5 oz powder, the gel and lacquer duo, or the 3-in-1 set with all three pieces matched to one shade.

Blues and teals are 21 of the 120 codes in the Green Book, so this shade has neighbours listed below. This one is a clear blue that reads the same on short and long nails.

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 #082 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.

Specs for #082

The 3-in-1 is the powder, the gel and the lacquer of one code in one box. There is no gel-only variant in the Green Book; the gel comes in the duo or the set. Prices are on the selector above and are the same for every code in the book.

How to apply #082

Prep once: push back the cuticle, shape, buff the shine off the plate and wipe with alcohol. Then the service decides the piece.

1. Dip. A thin coat of base, dip into #082, tap off the excess, repeat once. File and buff, then top coat. No activator and no lamp.
2. Gel. Gel base, cured. Two thin coats of the #082 gel, cured after each. Gel top, cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
3. Lacquer. Two coats of the #082 lacquer, air-dried. Top coat optional.

Removal for dip and gel is an acetone soak, never a peel.

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 #082

Which board is #082 on?

Board 3, which runs #061 to #090. 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.

Is #082 used with an activator?

It is not. This is one of the two SNS Pro books whose powder sets on its own over base, so the service is base, powder, base, powder, file and top coat. Mixing the activator routine from the other books into this one is where mistakes come from, so keep the two routines apart.

Will the gel and lacquer match the #082 powder?

That is what the code is for. We build all three pieces of #082 to one shade, which SNS calls MasterMatch, so the powder on the hands and the lacquer on the toes read as one color. Match against the physical Green Book or the swatch photo above rather than a phone screen when the decision matters.

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