Had to come back and comment on this bc I am PISSED. This worked in under 4 minutes and I spent OVER AN HOUR trying to soak of my nails at least 4x in the past 2 months. You're a hero.

Because of rona I'm here. My dip mani had a great run but now it's like, "sis set me free". Thank you for this upload!

Who is here because Rona 2020 ?

3 week old dips. At least 3 layers of color plus all the clear, or whatever it is(I'm new to the dip world). I filed off the clear and it took about 7mins of soak per hand. My water was HOT. Soooo easy.

2 words-GAME CHANGER

A few thoughts on this after trying it: Does it work: Yes Is it really that fast: Maybe The MAYBE is because it will depend on a number of factors. When I did this, I had powder dip on which consisted of: 1 clear layer of powder, 3 color layers of powder, and 1 layer of UV cured gel polish. That's a LOT to break down. It took 25 minutes on the first hand, without breaking the seal on the polish. 22 minutes on the second hand after breaking the seal of the polish. It was far easier and cleaner than using foil and cotton balls. It was not as fast as my technician doing this in the salon though. If you don't have many layers on, then it's going to be faster. If you've got a lot of lifting already, that will allow more space for the acetone to penetrate under the powder/gel. If you don't have a lot of lifting then breaking the seal is going to help tremendously. Here's what I learned and what I will do next time when I go to remove the gel polish I'm putting on now: 1) Hot water is key. Like THE MOST important factor. Heating the acetone is what makes this work faster. The water will cool down pretty quickly, so make it as hot as you can stand it. She says this in the video and I want to reiterate it. It will sting but just take your hand out briefly and go back in. I'm considering a kettle of water nearby next time to 'top it off' if I need to. 2) Break the seal if you've got a lot of layers like I did. If I'd kept better tabs on my water and broken the seal on my 5 layer (and 5 week old) powder dip, I think this would have been faster. But I'm still plenty happy to discover this and this I'll continue to use it.

I think in the YEARS i have been watching youtube i have commented twice! This would be my third time and i would say by far my best valued comment. Literally LIFE SAVER!!!!!! 👏🙌🏻 tried and true ONE 👏..... HUNDRED.... 👏PERCENT!!!! 👏👏👏

OMG this video is a LIFE CHANGER. 2 layers of GLITTER dip, 4 minutes per hand. Done! This just shaved 45 minutes of frustration off my mani!

Newbie here. THANK YOU! Nobody told me it would be so difficult to remove these. Now, I can try this and not lose my mind. You rock!

I do this exact same method this is why I love dip powder with resin because it doesn't take all day to remove like gel, polygel and other nail enhancements the resin just literally melts right off. Tip: adding oil(I add jojoba oil) directly into the acetone helps prevent your nails and cuticles from drying out.

You are a blessing. This worked in 5 minutes. I used the drill to remove the top coat, and added olive oil to the acetone. You rock!!!

This actually worked! The first couple of minutes I thought nothing was happening but after 3 more minutes they all came off! This should be more known!

nail tech here, and I am definitely trying this tomorrow !! I have been stressing how to get this off and it not take 45 minutes !!

This is absolutely amazing..I just soaked off three layers of dip in about 9 mins with no buffing..and the vaseline tip mentioned above worked like a charm.it used to take me at least 30 mins with the aluminum foil method..THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Here because I sadly have to cut my natural long nails due to my dip lifting and cracking in a few spots. I’ve had this dip on for weeks and weeks. Stuck in quarantine and can’t see my nail tech any time soon. Oh well I can always get tips later and my nails can always grow back. Thank you for this!

I'm Dominican, and when you said "alicate" it got right to my heart, I know the struggle with some words.... You're so cool.

I know I’m late to the game. But I just started doing my own dip nails. This method REALLY WORKS! Literally no scraping or buffing at all. I think it takes me 7-10 minutes depending how many layers I used (still learning). Just wanted to thank you 🙌🏻 (I slather lotion on my hands & then cuticle oil on the cuticles) to protect my skin

Had to come back and comment. I am brand new to dip nails and so I decided after doing one hand, I wasn’t happy. Found you after watching one video that suggested an hour to take them off. YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 min, and I was back to round two and I was able to knock it out AND I was happy. When I switched hands I felt the freedom to “fix” the mistakes without worrying that it would take forever to get my nails done. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

OMG!!! I can hardly believe how great this is. 5 minutes to remove 3 layers of color!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!

I was so skeptical because this seemed too good to be true - girl you saved my LIFE!!!! thank you so much!!! this took off my tough, nail-salon set!!

Omg...OH MY GOD!!!!! This worked like a charm!!! I put a tsp of coconut oil in the bag with the acetone and this worked within 5 minutes on 3 layers of dip! It can take me 45mins- 1hr at home to soak my nails off....what am I gonna do with all this extra time?!?! 😂🤣 THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!!!!

Just started doing my own dip nails and taking them off was grueling. This video changed all of that! Life changing for nail dips and removal. Thank you so much!!

I read comments, watched your video and am not easily impressed. Your ease of delivery and confidence won me over and I went to Lowes to get Acetone. Once home and all supplies ready, the dipped nail was removed in under 5 minutes on my first hand. I AM IMPRESSED. The hot water made all the difference. I am a fan now, what else do you have for us? Thank you!!

Just watched this video. I was extremely skeptical. Got all supplies together and amazingly it works! Only took 3-4 minuets per hand with 3 layers of powder dipped nails. Thanks!

Omg! How is this not being shouted from the rooftops. This worked so great. Thanks!!

This honestly worked so well! I just took off my dip powder nails using this method and took everything off in about 15 min. So glad I don’t have to goto the salon anymore to take my dip powder off! Thank you for this video 🤗🤗

Hi just adding to my comment I rubbed vaseline all around the skin that is going to be exposed to the acetone, careful not to get on nail. Worked really well.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!! I’ve been DIYing gel polish and dip acrylic for a long while now and I typically will steam soak them off. That doesn’t work well at all for the gel polish and works to melt off the acrylic ok but takes over an hour if I want to do both hands and this technique you showed literally took 5-7 mins combined and I can’t thank you enough. With my teenager toddler and preteen I just don’t have the time to wait to take it off to start anew and you have saved me so much so thank you again! This is awesome!!

At first I was like “no way, this is fake” but the comments were positive so I thought I mine as well try and omg it worked 😱 had dip nails on for way over a month, nothing opened to remove due to corona virus so thanks for the huge help so easy quick and hassle free🙏🏽

You can use olive oil or coconut oil, they work well. 🤗

This worked!!! I put the baggie in warm water and it started dissolving the dip powder! Thank you!!

Omg! I just did this. Removed my acrylic and dip powder. Minimal filing. I was so scared to do this but it actually worked. TY!!!

I doubted this method and wasted 20 mins on one hand! I tried this and it literally took 5 mins! SO IMPRESSED! THANK YOU! (I’ll never doubt you again) 😂❤️

I am AMAZED at how fast and easy this is! I am a cosmetologist and I have NEVER found a way as easy on the real nail bed as this to take off old nails!

Cant thank you enough! Was about to quit doing my nails as it took over an hour to buff, file, soak, scrape and pick. And I had shoulder surgery a few months back to top it off so I was killing myself to do my nails! This video is a total life saver!!!!!

I just followed your directions and this is the best ever. It normally takes an hour and a half 🙃. It took 8 minutes cause I had glitter on one of my nails 💅. Yeah thx you so much for posting this 🙂

I have not tried dip nails because of the mess. Now I have a good solution. Thank you

Thank you! I tried this method this morning and happy to share it worked beautifully! I added jojoba oil to the acetone (game changer!) and used the Vaseline tip someone posted in the comments (I applied it liberally after the cuticle oil). Nails (and hands) look and feel great. I also used a tea kettle with hot water to top off the bowl as that water cooled. Thanks, again, for the upload!

Oh my!!!! This works REALLY GOOD. I had stoped doing my nails because it took so long to remove them but I finally gave this trick a try and it makes it stress free! Thanks for this post.

This worked super fast just like you said it would and I had three coats on to remove 🙌🏻 thank you

Wow!!!!! Total game changer on dip removal! I was about to give up on doing it at home because of the removal process until I tried this. Thank you for posting!

I’ve never commented on a KZfaq video, but this actually works-thank you! I tried the foil method last year and actually broke down in tears because it was so frustrating. I even had tips, and this worked in 7 minutes flat with none of the optional tools!

Thank God I found this. Got my nails done with tips, ombre, and glitter 4 weeks ago. Nails were still on completely. Tried drill, soaking and was about to do foil. My skin was suffering and my nails were still on! Multiple sessions. This STILL took 15 minutes but at least the oil trick saved me and now I know how to do it next time with my diy home nails which will be much easier.

THIS WORKS!! I NEVER COMMENT BUT THIS VIDEO IS WORTHY OF IT

You are the bomb my sister's surprised me and sent me a whole kit of the dip powder. and now I'm ready to take them off watching KZfaq videos thinking I'm not going to tell her I'm never going to use this kit again because it takes too long to take them all off but you have saved me from not lying to my sister! I can tell her I love it!! Thank you!!!!

Great tutorial!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m so amazed how quickly and well it worked plus I found an acetone that includes coconut, vitamin E, and grape seed oil🤩🤗

I did this and I was shocked! It worked so well and so fast! Lifesaver! Thank you!

I just did this and it was so fast. Less than 10 minutes. Im shook!!! Thank you for sharing this hack. I just came from the nail salon and had a nail dip done and it was so thick and she shaped the nail completely different than what I asked. And not to mention she cut my hand in 2 places.

Worked for me in 8 mins with a new very messed up glittery application of dip, I couldn't believe it. THANK YOU!!!

Hand down!!! The best how to video ever!!! I’m speechless! Thank you so much! You saved me so much time soaking these nails off

LITERALLY ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS ON KZfaq!!!! Lifesaver!!!♥️🙌🏾🙌🏾

So much better then the nail salon grinding them. Thank you for sharing.

OMG!!!! This is a life saver. I just only spent 16min total on both hands to get 3layers of dip thick glitter powder off.. omg thanks so much.

By us having to be inside because of Cov-19, and the nail shops are closed 😞, I really appreciate you, hun! Life savor!! 🥰

This is the best thing I have ever come across on KZfaq. Saves so much time and so much wear and tear on my nails. Thank you!!

This was AMAZING! I just had my first NexGen set put on a couple weeks ago and it was already looking worse for wear...I didn't want to go back and spend half an hour and pay $10 for my nail salon to remove them as my aging nails can't hack the drill like they could in my 20s. This did the trick! Took about six minutes on each side. Didn't even have to go buy acetone since my husband had a can of it out in the garage. Thanks Lowes and thanks Favrielle! :)

Thank you thank you for this! The first time I took off dipped nails and put them back on it took me 1 1/2 hours to complete the process. First time mind you, but the second time wasn’t much shorter. This is awesome!! So easy so fast!! 😄😄

Holy moly I have to remove my SNS soon because all the ms techs are closed due to the pandemic. Try this in a few days, thank you

This is a first for me. I had to find this video again so I could comment. This method worked so well for me today. So simple. Thank you for this post.

SHOOK! Just did this; it works!!!! Thank you for posting!!!

Okay, I never ever comment but I had to on this video! It worked so well it two two minutes for mine to come off!!! I’m so impressed and thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love dip powder but it’s always so hard to get off. This is literally a game changer !

i cant believe this works im so happy thanks for sharing!!!

This works AMAZING! Just tried and it saved my grown out corona nails

I can't believe how quick the powder came off! Heat & acetone!! Thank you :)

Stuck in quarantine and also a nail tech (who misses her job hence why im here 😂). I have been telling people this for YEARS! 👏🏻 except i use a plastic bowl with extremely hot water and a glass bowl for the acetone and i fill the glass bowl with acetone and place it in the plastic bowl then i place the hot water in the plastic bowl. And definitely dont forget two paper towels in the glass bowl! Its just easier than wasting two sandwhich bags 😂

I’ve never commented on a KZfaq video before! But I was shocked at the results! Had three layers of dip nails and following this method took them off with ease!!! Thank you!

Girrrrl, I didn’t think it was true... I’m a believer... thank you so much! I just tried this and I was so impressed when I took my hand out of the bag in less than four minutes.

I'm so excited to try this!! I've seen others use this method, and one even used rice instead of water. Since I've seen the water method used more, I'm just going to try it this way. I've also seen different ladies use a scoop of coconut oil, (it's supposed to turn into liquid from the hot water) one also used olive oil. If you're on a fixed income, like many of us are, using the latter would be your best bet! 😀

This 100% works. I had on three layers of dip powder, and it came off in less than 10 mins for both hands. Amazing!!!.The one thing I did differently was I used old dryer sheets. The abrasiveness of the sheets worked better than the paper towel in my opinion. I HATE sitting in the salon waiting for it to soak off. This is a game changer.

MY HAT OFF TO YOU. 5 minutes(literally) to do one hand. Thank you.

Thank you!!! Took 7 minutes for me and I removed the extra residue with some acetone soaked cotton & foil for an additional 3 minutes. SO much quicker than just the foils alone.

You are a lifesaver!!!!! I just had to reheat the water and it was off in less than 5 mins!!!!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Oh. Did I say Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I love this. I have psoriatic nails that become easily damaged by drills. I found a salon that does no drill removal by where I live. It’s similar to this video, but they don’t protect the skin as she does here. SO IMPORTANT!It’s sad to me that considering the expense of the service, the safety and integrity of the workers and the client aren’t considered more important than they are.

I am shook 🤯 this is literally the #1 useful and successful video I have ever seen in all my KZfaq viewing life. I am so grateful to you girl for this video and that I came across it !!!

I am SO sorry I doubted that this would work!!! I've only tried to remove my dip powder once before and it was so annoying and took forever. Instead of using cuticle oil on my entire hand, though, I just used coconut oil. It's less expensive and I love the smell. Thank you!

OOOHHH MMMYYYYY GOOOSSSHHH! I feel liked i stumbled across a miracle! THANK YOU!

Thank you!!!!! I just tried it and it took about 10 minutes per hand. I had three coats on plus glitter. I did shave it down a bit because I knew the glitter would be an issue.

THANK. YOU. That was such a quick and painless way to remove dip nails. One tutorial I watched said set your timer for 20 min... LOL. Mine were glitter so I did remove the top layer but... took 7 min. My nails are still strong and healthy. This is awesome thank you.

This actually works!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 I found just soaking them off in a bowl of acetone left gunky powder residue on your skin which would take a day or two to come off 😖 but not this way, so happy I came across this. I have a question, I recently brought the SNS SenShine Matt Top and wandered if anyone has used it also? For some reason when I apply it, it turns my whole nail white! Is anyone else having problems or can help me on how to stop this? I’ve searched and searched on the internet but there is nothing on KZfaq or any website about how to apply it and you can normally find a video for everything! Please help, any advice would be much appreciated 😊

thanks for sharing this! your step by step detailing was very good and your humor (pretend smaller bag) is hilarious and makes this more "real"!! this will be my 1st time trying this method because I don't want to spend 1hr plus trying to remove. I have 3 layers with glitter color so finger crossed. **UPDATE: less than 25 mins to get it all off HOLY SH*T!!!

I am so trying this today. My salon uses water and acetone mixed I think because the liquid is VERY warm. But what a life changer to do this at home and save time at the salon.

This truly worked!! It took about 5 to 7 minutes for each of my hands but it absolutely worked!! I will continue to use this way. Thank you

So glad I found this. I'm about to remove 3 layers of 3 week old dip plus the layer system for gel polish (base, 2 layers of color, topcoat). I am hopeful this will make dip a win win nail method for me.

Careful with 100% acetone it is very flammable and evaporates completely at 130 degrees F. The vapor is highly flammable. The bag should help contain vapor but be careful that nobody smokes in the vicinity, cigarettes or otherwise.

Holy cow this works soooo well. I used to hate removing dip it would take SO LONG this takes about 5 min and takes it off with no damage.

I just tried this yesterday, and it's so much faster than w/out the hot water!!! Glad I came across this video! Thanks for the info.

Wow! I can't get over how easy this was!! 🤯 Thank you for sharing this game changer. Both hands took less than 8 min with chunky glitter. I did buff off the top layer of clear first.

Thanks for the tip . It took me 6 min each hand with 3 coats!!! Now I can get back to doing the nail dip

It tried this methot yesterday!!! It actually helped but I removed my sns first doing the way showed in the video for like 15 minutes( didn’t need the paper just acetone in the bag) and this removes a fair bit on top. After I still use foil and cotton with acetone for another 10 minutes and all came off!!!!! In the bag I put normal nail polish with acetone. Didn’t have enough pure acetone. So i kept it for the foil Good luck 🙃

This worked and the dryer sheet made my nails smells great 😊

I’m shook, it actually worked

Wow! That’s amazing! Because of this hack. I decided to buy a dip powder nails! Thank you so much! By the way” you mentioned that thing in Spanish” it’s called Cuticle or Nail Nipper! I enjoyed your tips! ❤️❤️❤️

I needed this yesterday, took over an hour to take my dip off my nails.

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU SAVED ME MONEY, PAIN, AND RISKING MYSELF DURING COVID. my nails aren’t even brittle now too!!

This definitely worked like a charm! Thanks for all the tips and this video! I’ve recommended it to all my friends that use dip!

This absolutely is the best method to remove nails!! Both hands completed in 12 minutes, I had 3 coats of sns nail powder!!!

Holy macaroni and cheese!!! This is a super amazing nail hack!!! I was skeptical at first but.... wow!! This was amazing.

Game changer. Only, I don’t have Acetone. I will have to go out to buy Acetone and cuticle pushers. Definitely doing this soon. My dip has grown out halfway down my nail. N O T cute.

Girl. You the real MVP.

You have beautiful nails naturally
