Dip Powder Nails Removal: Easy Steps for a Clean Transition
Dip powder nails are a popular choice for their durability and long-lasting shine, but eventually, you'll need to remove them to make way for a new manicure. Here's how to remove dip powder nails safely at home:
Materials You'll Need:
Acetone (100% pure is best)
Nail file and buffer
Aluminum foil
Cotton balls or pads
Cuticle oil
Steps:
File and Buff: Gently file the top layer of the dip powder to break the seal and remove the shiny finish. Be careful not to file your natural nails.
Soak in Acetone: Soak cotton balls or pads in pure acetone, then place them on your nails.
Wrap in Foil: Wrap each fingertip with the soaked cotton ball in aluminum foil. This helps keep the acetone in contact with the dip powder.
Moisturize: Once the dip powder is removed, apply cuticle oil or a rich moisturizer to hydrate your nails and cuticles, as acetone can be drying.
