How to Remove Acrylic Nails Safely
Step 1: Trim the Extra Acrylic
Start by using nail clippers to trim the excess acrylic, making sure to leave the natural nail underneath intact.
Warning:
Attempting to remove acrylic nails without proper tools or chemical assistance can damage your natural nails.
Tools You'll Need:
* Nail clippers * Acetone nail polish remover * Non-acetone nail polish removerStep 2: Soak in Acetone
Immerse your nails in a bath of acetone nail polish remover for 20-30 minutes, or until the acrylic loosens.
Tips:
* Use a non-acetone remover for sensitive skin. * Protect your skin around the nails with petroleum jelly. * Avoid prolonged exposure to acetone as it can dry out your nails.Step 3: Gently Remove Acrylic
Once the acrylic has loosened, use a cuticle pusher or orange stick to gently push off the remaining acrylic. Avoid using force to prevent damaging your natural nails.
Step 4: Buff and Moisturize
Once all the acrylic is removed, buff your natural nails to smooth any rough edges and moisturize them to restore hydration.
