Make your manicurist proud.
, to create a dip powder manicure, you layer a base and powder until you have your desired coverage before sealing it with a gel topcoat.
A few days ago, I sat down to remove my manicure by first removing the topcoat with a nail file and then soaking my nails in acetone until the powder was soft, then I went back to filing off the leftover powder residue until I could see my natural nails. While doing so, I realized two things. The first was that nail technicians have one of the hardest jobs in the world — removing this shit was not easy.
The second? My natural nails are a true disgrace. They've only seen the light of day less than 30 seconds every two weeks while my nail technician gets my next color ready, and what I found under the hard coating was not pretty at all. In fact, using the word damaged would be an understatement. They were so brittle and thin that the thought of doing anything to them on my own scared me.
So, how exactly do I do that? Well, according to a few experts, there are a few ways to grow nails long and strong after the damage is done.
