Xpress Dip ColorFusion Powder is a unique powder formula for vivid color payoff and weeks of wear. Xpress™ Dip Powders have a controlled resin absorption process to prevent over-hardening and brittleness while giving more consistent color coverage. The unique integrated formula produces a combination of intense vivid colors with incredible depth without having to change the way you work. Each powder goes through a 6-step proprietary filtering process to ensure the resins and activators are fused together for the ultimate application. Xpress™ Dip sets faster and cures more complete.
