How to Remove Acrylic Nails Without Damaging Your Natural Nails
Acetones Efficacy and Precautions
When it comes to removing acrylic nails, soaking them in 100% acetone is generally the most effective method. Acetone is a solvent that dissolves the acrylic, making it easier to pry off. However, it's crucial to use acetone carefully as it can also dry out and damage your natural nails over time.
Soaking Technique
To safely remove acrylic nails with acetone, follow these steps:
1. Trim down the acrylic nails as much as possible. 2. Soak a cotton ball or nail wrap in pure acetone. 3. Place the cotton ball or wrap on each nail and secure with foil or nail clips. 4. Wait 15-20 minutes, or until the acrylic has softened. 5. Gently pry off the acrylic nails using an orangewood stick or cuticle pusher. 6. Moisturize your natural nails to prevent dryness and damage.
