SNS Pro - Pink Book Collection - #143

Code #143 of the SNS Pro Pink Book: a red. Every code in this book is sold four ways on one listing: the 1.5 oz pre-bonded dipping powder, the 0.5 oz GelStar gel, the gel and lacquer duo, or the 3-in-1 set with powder, gel and lacquer matched to one shade.

A red like this does most of its work on a pedicure wall and on the client who books the same color every month. It reads as red under salon light and under daylight, so it photographs the way it looks on the hand.

Why this powder

• Hands and toes in one code. The gel and lacquer duo carries the same shade as the powder, so a client can wear #143 as dip on the hands and lacquer on the toes.
• Nutri-Plus in the jar. We add vitamins and minerals to the base coat and the powder, and vitamin E and calcium to the GelStar gel.
• Acrylic-ready. Sculpt the same powder with monomer when the client wants length rather than an overlay.
• The cheapest way to own a code. The 0.5 oz GelStar gel is sold on its own.

How to apply #143

Prep is the same for every format: push the cuticle back, shape, take the shine off the plate, wipe with alcohol.

1. Dip. Two rounds of thin base and #143 powder, activator, file and buff, a second activator coat, top coat. No lamp.
2. Gel. Gel base, two thin coats of the #143 GelStar and a gel top, each cured, then wipe the tacky layer.
3. Lacquer. Two air-dried coats of the #143 lacquer for toes or touch-ups.

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

Pair the powder with base, activator and top coat from Dip Essentials, and the gel with a base and top from Base & Top Gel.

Questions about #143

Which board is #143 on?

Board 4, which runs #109 to #144. 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 Pink Book wall in one order. The full book of 144 codes is sold the same way.

How do I remove #143?

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.

Do I need an activator with #143?

Yes. This is the standard SNS dip routine: base, powder, base, powder, then the Sealer Dry activator over the whole nail before you file, and a second coat before top coat. The activator is what sets the powder. The two no-activator books (Green and Yellow Green) skip it; the Pink Book does not.
