How to Safely Remove Your Dip Powder Manicure at Home

Are you ready to say goodbye to your dip powder manicure? While it's always easiest to have your manicure removed professionally, sometimes you need to do it at home. Here's a guide to removing your dip powder manicure safely, with or without a tool like Revel Nail Swift Soak.

Why Proper Removal Matters

 Dip powder manicures are known for their durability, but this strength can make removal challenging. Improper removal techniques can damage your natural nails, leading to weakness, brittleness, or even painful separation. That's why it's crucial to follow a safe removal process.

Steps for Safe Dip Powder Removal

  1. Gather Your Supplies You'll need:
  • Nail file
  • Acetone
  • Cotton balls or pads
  • Aluminum foil
  • Cuticle oil
  • Revel Nail Swift Soak (optional, but recommended)
  1. File the Top Layer Gently file the shiny top coat of your dip powder manicure. This breaks the seal and allows the acetone to penetrate more effectively.
  2. If using regular acetone::
    1. Soak cotton balls in acetone
    2. Place them on your nails
    3. Wrap each finger in aluminum foil
    4. Wait 15-20 minutes
    5. Remove the Product Gently scrape off the loosened dip powder using a wooden cuticle stick. If it doesn't come off easily, re-soak for a few more minutes.

 

If using Revel Nail Swift Soak:

  1. Fill the bottom bowl with hot water
  2. Fill the bowl with bristles with enough acetone to cover the bristles
  3. Put the lid back on and allow the acetone to warm up
  4. Place your hand through the lid opening and rub your nails against the bristles – be careful not to use a digging motion, as that will damage the bristles.
  1. Buff and Nourish Once all the product is removed, gently buff your nails to smooth the surface. Apply cuticle oil to rehydrate your nails and surrounding skin.
