How to Remove Your Dip Manicure at Home

How to Remove Your Dip Manicure at Home

Step 1- saturate a cotton ball with acetone nail polish remover, then wrap nails in nail clips or foil. I tried both ways, but like the clips because they didn’t seem to leak like the foil did.

Step 2- let nails soak. It took awhile honestly-30 min each hand. My right hand took longer…not sure why? At tip from my lash gal- you can put hands in a plastic bag in hot water and the water can help the acetone work faster, too.

Step 3- after nails are looking like the dip is coming off, use the little hook tool to scrape off excess dip polish.

Step 4- file off any excess polish and smooth out nails.

Step 5- wash hands, add the keratin treatment (optional). I’ve had dip on for years, so my nails felt so weird not having them on. Dip has really strengthened my nails, but I knew I needed some help, so I ordered this treatment.

Step 6- moisturize- your hands will be dry from the polish (and all of the hand washing!)

Removing my dip manicure at home wasn’t an easy feat and I honestly can’t wait to get my dip nails put back on, but I feel like it went as well as possible! Hope this helps you get your dip nails removed, too!

Have a great day! XO!
