Plus, unlike its gel-based competitor, dip nails do not require UV curing.
If you’re not your own manicurist, you’ll want to visit the salon for a re-do.
Luckily, there are some easy ways to remove them as you lounge at home.
Use your nail file to thin down the hardened dip powder until it is a thin layer.
Cut your foil into pieces slightly larger than your fingertips.
Leave the cotton balls on for 15 minutes before removing them.
There is no need to worry if you don’t have foil or cotton balls.
You could also try soaking your dip nails in acetone for 20 minutes.
Before your nails soak, file off as much of the top layer as possible.
After the soak, wipe your nails clean.
Resoak your nails if any dip powder remains.
Your cuticles can also be sensitive to the acetone and become irritated.
You will want to give your nails a break from gels and dip powders every three to four months.
Your nails can still enjoy regular polish for the time being.
After you remove your dip nails, it will help to let your nails dry.
Filing and buffing your nails before adding a nail hardener and cuticle oil is a helpful practice.
