I have dip powder on my nails and I am due for new dip (it has been 4 weeks!). My nails got super long and earlier today my nail got caught on my sneakers when I was putting them on and bent back and tore. It was bleeding a bit and is super sensitive. I am taking off for a vacation in 5 days and was planning to get my nails done today or tomorrow but I am going to try to wait until the day before I leave. I'm nervous about getting the dip off this broken nail and was also considering doing gel so I don't have to deal with the filing. But I don't know - this is pretty painful I'm nervous about putting acetone on it. Thoughts on how to proceed? I read that putting a tip on it to even out the length could be bad because of trapping bacteria, and that it would be better to be uneven.
How can I take the dip off this nail in a way that isn't too painful?
