How to Remove Acrylic Nails: A Step-by-Step Guide
Soaking and Filing Method
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
* Nail polish remover * Cotton balls or pads * Aluminum foil * Nail file
Step 2: Soak Your Nails
* Saturate cotton balls or pads with nail polish remover. * Wrap each nail tightly with foil, ensuring the cotton stays in contact with the acrylic. * Let soak for 10-15 minutes, or until the acrylic starts to soften.
Step 3: File Away the Acrylic
* Once the acrylic is softened, use a nail file to gently file away the loosened layers. * Be careful not to file too deeply, as you could damage your natural nails. * Continue filing until the acrylic is completely removed.
Expert Tips
Use Heat and Coconut Oil
* Warm the nail polish remover slightly before soaking your nails. * Apply coconut oil to your cuticles to prevent irritation from the remover.
Avoid Buffers and Drills
* Buffers and drills can be too harsh for natural nails. Stick to hand-filing for safe removal.
Moisturize Regularly
* Your nails may feel dry after removal. Apply cuticle oil or moisturizer to restore their health.
