OTHER SALON KITS
Ready to safely and easily remove your nails at home? In this quick tutorial, we’ll walk you through the proper way to remove your dip powder nails.
A: Start by filing the surface of the dip powder using the rough side of the nail file (be careful near your skin as this is sharp) You are aiming to remove the top layer of powder to allow the acetone to penetrate the layers of dip powder, the more you file the easier this will be, however take care to not file all the way down to natural nail as this will cause damage.

A: Fill 1/3 of a bowl with rice.
Make sure the bowl is big enough to fit your hand.
B: Add water to the bowl just so the rice is JUST under water.
Put the bowl of rice in the microwave for 90 seconds at 600 watt.
If you don't have a microwave, add hot/warm water that's comfortably hot to put your hand in. (The water can't be lukewarm
or the process wont work)

Make sure to use the Sassy Saints remover or 100% acetone.
Normal nail polish removers will not work. You will need 100% acetone.
Also, make sure there is ENOUGH remover solution.
Your whole nail should be covered in remover, if not, it will also not work.
A: Put the ziplock bag on top of the rice & add 5 lint free wipes to the removal bag and then add the acetone as well.
We recommend adding 1 tbsp coconut oil (or another oil) to the acetone to keep your nails strong and hydrated. You can just add this in the bag together with the acetone.
B: Put your hand inside of the removal bag and close the ziplock fully
so that no air can come inside of the bag.
Keep the ziplock back CLOSED at all times when your hand + acetone is in it or the acetone will evaporate.
C: Then place the bag in the bowl of warm rice. Ensure your nails are completely submerged in the acetone.
D: Set a timer for 15 minutes and wait. You'll notice the powder on your nails softening. While they're still in the bag, rub your nails with the lint free wipes, this will help the removal process.
Keep your hand in the bowl of rice, we just took it out to show you
the movement to make.
(see full motion in video below)
You can check in between whether it's fully removed or needs a little more time, but make sure to keep your nails inside of the ziplock bag with the ziplock closed.
E: Wash your hands with warm water and soap and apply cuticle oil.
F: Go back to step 1 & repeat on your other hand.
