How do you remove dip with peel base?

Published in Nail Care 2 mins read

To remove dip powder applied over a peel base, gently pry off the dip using a cuticle pusher.

Here's a breakdown of the removal process based on the provided information:

  1. Loosen the edges: Use a cuticle pusher (preferably the sharp edge) to gently pry up the edges of the dip powder. The peel base should make this easier than removing dip applied directly to the nail.
  2. Carefully peel off: Once you've lifted an edge, continue using the cuticle pusher to carefully separate the dip powder from the nail. The peel base allows you to peel off the dip instead of filing and soaking.

Important Considerations:

  • Gentleness is key: Avoid forcing the dip off, as this can damage your natural nails.
  • If it's difficult to peel: If you are having a very hard time, consider lightly scoring the top coat with a file to allow some acetone to get in, then wrapping with acetone soaked cotton balls. Give it 10 minutes before trying to peel.
  • Moisturize: After removal, moisturize your nails with cuticle oil or lotion to rehydrate them.
