How to Remove Acrylic Nails at Home Safely and Effectively
A Comprehensive Guide to Breaking Down Your Acrylics
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
To embark on this nail-transforming journey, you'll need a few essential items: * Pure acetone, at least 100% concentration * A shallow bowl or dish * Orange wood stick or cuticle pusher * Cotton balls or cuticle wipes * Nail file * Hand lotion

Let's create a spa-like atmosphere for your nails! File your acrylics to a shorter length to make the removal process smoother.
Step 3: Soak Your Nails
Immerse your nails in the bowl filled with pure acetone. Allow them to soak for an extended period—around 15 to 20 minutes—to soften the acrylic.
Step 4: Gently Pry Off the Acrylics
Once the acrylic has softened, use the orange wood stick to gently pry the acrylics away from your natural nails. Be patient and avoid pulling or yanking to prevent damaging your natural nails.
Step 5: Remove Any Remaining Residue
After lifting off the acrylics, use a cotton ball dipped in acetone to remove any remaining glue or acrylic residue from your nails.
Step 6: Moisturize Your Nails
Treat your nails to some TLC! Apply a generous amount of hand lotion to nourish and soothe them after this transformative experience.
Tips for Success:
* Avoid using nail polish remover as it's not as effective as acetone. * If the acrylics aren't coming off easily, soak them for longer. * Don't cut your nails with scissors or clippers, as this can damage them. * Take breaks during the removal process to avoid nail fatigue. * Be gentle and patient throughout the process to minimize damage to your natural nails.
