Ask Your Nail Technician to Sprinkle or Paint Rather Than Dip
This was something I wish I had known beforehand. By dipping your nail into the powder you're now more likely to pick up germs. While this is how the manicure got its name, it's highly unsanitary. If you decide to go through with a dip powder manicure, ask your nail technician to either sprinkle, paint the powder onto your nail, or pour some fresh powder into a separate dish instead. (This is something a good nail tech will do without having to be prompted.)
