SNS Pro - Green Book Collection - #084

The pink at #084 in the SNS Pro Green Book. Three ways to buy it on this one listing: the 1.5 oz dip and acrylic powder that needs no activator, the soak-off gel and air-dry lacquer duo, or the 3-in-1 set with all three. Same number, same shade, whichever you pick.

Pinks and mauves are 33 of the 120 codes in the Green Book, so this code has close neighbours listed below. Pick by undertone: this one is the shade to sample if you want a pink that reads clearly as pink rather than as a nude.

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 #084 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.

Specs for #084

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 #084

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 #084 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 #084 gel and a gel top, each cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
3. Lacquer. Two air-dried coats of the #084 lacquer for toes or touch-ups.

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

The dip needs a base and a top coat and nothing else: they are under Dip Essentials. Gel base and top for the duo are under Base & Top Gel.

Questions about #084

Why does #084 look different on my screen?

Because screens shift color. The swatch photo above is the closest reference we can give online, and the physical Green Book is the one to use for a client decision. Packaging may vary by batch; the shade does not.

Is #084 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 #084 powder?

That is what the code is for. We build all three pieces of #084 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.
