Poof, gone. Buff a move and get down to business. We’re teaching you how to remove dip nails with your handy E-File. You’re welcome.

Products Used

Step 1
Start by filing off powder using a medium-to-coarse removal bit to reduce the bulk of the work.
Pro Tip: Avoid making any contact with the natural nail by making sure you can always see some color. Use light pressure and let the E-File do the work–the more product removed now, the less soaking to do later.
Step 2
Remove dust using a brush.
Step 3
Soak the pad of the Removal Wrap with Artificial Nail Remover or Expert Touch Lacquer Remover.
Step 4
Wrap each finger, making sure the pad is placed face down on the top of the nail.
Step 5
Place hands inside hand mitts to help generate heat. If using Lacquer Remover, soak for 20-25 minutes. If using Artificial Nail Remover, soak for 10-15 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the wraps using a twisting motion to guarantee a clean removal.
Step 7
Use a cuticle stick to gently push off the lifted product. If any Powder Perfection remains, don't force it! Re-wrap and soak for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 8
Wipe off any residue with an Expert Touch Nail Wipe saturated with N.A.S. 99 Nail Cleansing Solution. Poof, you're done. Pro Tip: Do your client's nails need a little TLC between looks? Apply Nail Envy for some aftercare.
