How to Remove Acrylic Nails

Two Methods to Remove Acrylic Nails

Method 1: Cotton Balls and Foil

This method is more complicated and involves using cotton balls soaked in 100% acetone. Wrap the cotton balls around your nails and secure them with foil. Leave the foil on for at least 20 minutes, or until the acrylic nails start to soften.

Method 2: Acetone Soak

This is the simplest and most effective method for removing acrylic nails. Fill a bowl with 100% acetone and soak your nails for 15-20 minutes. The acetone will dissolve the adhesive that holds the acrylic nails in place.

Conclusion

Once your acrylic nails have softened, you can gently pry them off using an orange wood stick or cuticle pusher. Be careful not to damage your natural nails. If the acrylic nails are still firmly attached, soak them for a longer period of time. With patience and care, you can remove your acrylic nails at home without damaging your natural nails.
