We’ve all been there. One minute you’re walking out of the nail salon with flawless dip nails feeling fresh as hell.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Then suddenly it’s 3 or 4 weeks later and your dip nails have become french tips, but your schedule (or, perhaps, a global pandemic) has got you wondering how to remove dip nails… at home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Removing dip nails at home can be tricky, and many of us won’t even attempt it. But the good news is that dip nails differ a bit from gel and acrylic nails.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Unlike gel and acrylic nails, dip nail polish does not require a harsh primer containing methacrylic acid for adhesion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, in theory, dip nail polish is less damaging to your natural nails and your body.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Because no harsh adhesives are used to apply dip nail polish, and thus no scraping is required to remove said adhesive, removing dip nails is actually less damaging than other long-lasting color options. (Hooray!)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Like many of you, I had a fresh dip mani just before everything shut down.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, once I finally succumbed to the reality that I would indeed have to handle this sitch myself, I consulted a few nail experts for the best way for us to safely remove the dip powder and move toward healing our natural nails.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Turns out this mandated break from bi-monthly manicures might just end up being the best thing that ever happened to you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ok, maybe not. But at least your nails will be healthier.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
