The method for removing chrome powder from your nails depends on whether you want to preserve the underlying manicure (acrylic or dip nails) or remove everything.
Removing Chrome While Preserving Acrylic/Dip Nails
If you want to keep your acrylic or dip nails intact, avoid acetone, as it will damage the acrylic polymers. Instead, follow these steps:
- Gently Buff: Carefully buff the chrome powder off the nail surface until you can see the base nail color.
- Clean: Remove any remaining nail dust with a bit of rubbing alcohol.
