How to Remove Dip Nails
Step 1: File the Top Layer
Materials:
- Nail file
Begin by filing the top layer of your dip nails gently using a nail file. This will help break the seal on the polish and make it easier to remove.
Step 2: Soak in Acetone
Materials:
- Acetone
- Bowl or dish
- Cotton balls or pads
Pour acetone into a bowl or dish. Soak cotton balls or pads in the acetone and place them on your nails. Wrap each nail in aluminum foil to hold the cotton in place.
Step 3: Wait
Allow the acetone to soak for 10-15 minutes, or until the dip powder has softened and is easy to remove.
Step 4: Remove the Dip Powder
Using an orange stick or cuticle pusher, gently scrape off the softened dip powder. Be careful not to damage your natural nails.
Step 5: Wash Your Hands
Once all of the dip powder has been removed, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to remove any remaining acetone.
Tips:
- To reduce damage to your skin, you can try using a nail drill instead of filing the top layer of your nails.
- If you want to free up your fingers faster, you can soak multiple nails at the same time.
- Be patient and take your time when removing dip nails. Rushing the process can damage your natural nails.
