Quick Answer

To get a flawless manicure with Kiara Sky's Money Moves dip powder, prep nails properly, apply thin layers, and activate the glow with UV or LED light.

Why Money Moves Needs Special Care

Money Moves is part of Kiara Sky's Glow Dip Powder Collection, which features 48 unique shades that look beautiful during the day and glow bright at night. The glow effect requires activation with UV, LED, or sunlight, so proper application is key to making the most of this feature.

The neon green shade is vibrant but can show streaks if layers are too thick. Thin, even coats are essential for a smooth finish and even glow.

Step-by-Step Application Guide for Money Moves Dip Powder

  1. Prep Your Nails: Push back cuticles, buff the nail surface lightly, and wipe with alcohol or a dehydrator. This removes oils and helps the dip powder adhere evenly. Skipping dehydration is the most common cause of lifting later.
  2. Apply Base Coat and Dip: Brush a thin layer of base coat onto one nail at a time, then dip it into the Money Moves powder at a 45-degree angle. Tap off excess and brush away loose powder from the cuticle area. Avoid flooding the cuticle—it causes lifting and a messy edge.
  3. Repeat for Full Coverage: Apply a second thin base coat and dip again for even opacity. For Money Moves, two coats are usually enough; three may be needed if you want a denser glow. Too many layers make the nail thick and prone to chipping.
  4. Activate and Cure the Glow: After the final dip, apply a thin layer of activator. Then cure under a UV or LED lamp for 60 seconds (or as directed) to activate the glow pigment. Sunlight also works but takes longer. Without proper curing, the glow effect will be weak or uneven.
  5. Shape, Buff, and Top Coat: File and shape the nail to your desired length. Buff lightly to smooth any bumps, then wipe away dust. Apply a top coat for shine and seal the edges. Buff gently—over-buffing removes the glow layer and reduces intensity.
