Nail file

STEP BY STEP GUIDE.

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.

Important Information.

  • WAIT until the rice is COMFORTABLY HOT before you put in your hand.
  • If it gets lukewarm, add hot water, the water CAN NOT be lukewarm!
  • The cotton wipes must be WET of acetone to work, so cover them all!

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.

10 lint free wipes

STEP BY STEP GUIDE.

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.

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.
