How to Remove Acrylic Nails at Home Without Damaging Your Natural Nails
Expert Tips for a Safe and Effective Removal
Removing acrylic nails at home can be a daunting task, but it's entirely possible to do it safely and effectively without damaging your natural nails. Here's a step-by-step guide from nail experts:
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
You'll need the following tools:
- Acetone
- Cotton balls or pads
- Aluminum foil
- Orangewood stick
- Cuticle pusher (optional)
Step 2: Soak Your Nails
Pour acetone into a small bowl and soak your nails for 10-15 minutes. The acetone will help dissolve the acrylic.
Step 3: Wrap Your Nails
Wrap each nail in a cotton ball or pad soaked in acetone. Secure the wraps with aluminum foil.
Step 4: Wait and Check
Wait 15-20 minutes. Check the nails to see if the acrylic has dissolved. If not, re-wrap and wait a few more minutes.
Step 5: Remove the Acrylic
Use an orangewood stick or cuticle pusher to gently scrape away the softened acrylic from your nails.
Step 6: Clean and Moisturize
Once all the acrylic is removed, wash your hands with soap and water. Apply cuticle oil or lotion to hydrate and protect your nails.
Remember:
- Use pure acetone, not nail polish remover.
- Be gentle when scraping away the acrylic.
- Moisturize your nails after removal.
