How to Remove Dip Powder Nails at Home with Hot Water and Acetone

If you're wondering how to safely remove dip powder nails at home without damaging your natural nails, this easy method using hot water and acetone is perfect. It's quick, effective, and ideal for those using the LeVeraux Dip Powder Kit UK.

🔥 Step 1: Prepare a Soaking Bowl

  • Fill a bowl with hot (not boiling) water

  • Place a smaller bowl inside it (to act as a warm bath for your acetone)
    This gently warms the acetone without direct heat, helping it work faster.

🧴 Step 2: Add Acetone

In the smaller bowl, pour in enough 100% pure acetone to cover your nails.

💅 Step 3: Soak Your Nails

  • Soak your nails in the warm acetone for 10–15 minutes

  • You can also rub your nails gently with your fingers while soaking to help lift the powder

🪪 Step 4: Remove the Dip Powder

  • After soaking, use a cuticle pusher or orange stick to gently push off the softened dip powder

  • If any remains, soak for a few more minutes—never force it off

🧽 Step 5: Clean and Moisturise

  • Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water

  • Gently buff the surface of your natural nails if needed

  • Apply cuticle oil and hand cream to restore moisture
