How to care for your dip powder manicure at home
If you went to a salon and got a dip powder manicure, but want to remove it at home, here’s how you do it. Dip powder can be removed with acetone, so to remove it, you’ll need acetone. The closer to 100% acetone, the faster it will come off. You’ll also need a nail file. You can also use a drill, but that’s not necessary. Don’t worry, it’s fine to remove it at home, and here’s how.
Dip nails, dip gel, dip powder, dip powder manicure – whatever you call it, you had a dip powder manicure done at a salon (or did it yourself at home – if you want to do it yourself, you can get a kit here: https://www.revelnail.com/collections/dip-powder-starter-kits-one-and-four-color/products/build-your-own-dip-powder-starter-kit?variant=42784520405190 ) and now you want to remove it. Hopefully, your dip powder manicure should last more than two weeks without chipping, peeling or breaking. But eventually your nails will grow and you’ll need to remove it anyway.
Do not scratch. The dip powder adheres very strongly to your nails and scratching will remove the top layer of your nail. The safest way to remove it is with acetone.
The easiest and most hassle-free method is an acetone wrap. First, file your nails. You want to remove the shine from your nails, so this breaks the seal and allows the acetone to soak into the polish, making it easier to remove. Next, soak a cotton ball in acetone and place it on your finger, then wrap it in aluminum foil to secure it in place. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes, and you should be able to remove the dip powder with a nail polish stick or by simply rubbing it with a cotton ball.
If you plan on removing nail polish frequently, there is a quicker solution: Swift Soak by Revel Nail: https://www.revelnail.com/products/swift-soak-manicure-removal-system.
Swift Soak is a patent-pending removal system. It has a hot water chamber that heats up the acetone. Warm acetone is much more effective than room temperature, but acetone is flammable, so Swift Soak allows you to heat it safely. It also comes with a scrubbing pad that you scrub onto your nails, removing your nail polish in under 5 minutes.
A video on how to use it safely can be found on the product page: https://www.revelnail.com/products/swift-soak-manicure-removal-system.
Here are some tips to help you get the best results with Swift Soak.
- Use 100% pure acetone. Non-bleached acetone will leave a film on the bowl.
- Wipe it off immediately after use, or it will stick to the bowl.
- After use, you can soak up any remaining acetone with a paper towel.
- Scrub the fur with your nails, do not dig, as digging will damage the fur.
