SNS Pro - Green Book Collection - #116

The deep burgundy at #116 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.

This is the shade for a client who asks for red and does not want to talk about it further. It sits well next to a nude on a French-style accent set, and it is a safe pick for toes because the lacquer in the duo is the same code.

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 #116 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 #116

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 #116

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 #116 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 #116 gel and a gel top, each cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
3. Lacquer. Two air-dried coats of the #116 lacquer for toes or touch-ups.

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

For the dip you need our base and top coat, both under Dip Essentials; there is no activator to buy. The gel base and gel top for the duo are under Base & Top Gel.

Questions about #116

Can I buy #116 as part of a set?

Yes. It sits on board 4 of the Green Book, codes #091 to #120, and the board is sold as one bundle in each format, 30 codes at a time. The full 120-code book is also sold as one bundle.

Will the gel and lacquer match the #116 powder?

That is what the code is for. We build all three pieces of #116 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.

Is this a dip powder or an acrylic powder?

Both. Over base it works as a dip overlay; with monomer it sculpts like an acrylic. One jar of #116 does either job.

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