Once you have had that perfect look on your nails, it will not last forever. After 3 to four weeks of application, you will start seeing an overgrowth that simply means that you need another dip powder finish. Before you get it, however, the initial dip powder layer must be removed. Being a professional or even a beginner, you need to know how to remove dip powder from your nails.
