Acrylic nails look great and can be a life saver for those with weak nails or nails that just won鈥檛 grow well on their own. But like all things, even wearing acrylic nails must come to an end eventually. Follow these easy steps to safely and painlessly remove your acrylic nails.





Instructions





Things You鈥檒l Need:





* Plastic garbage bag


* Acetone polish remover


* Petroleum jelly


* Nail buffer


* Nail clippers


* Glass bowl





Step 1 : Find a good work area where you can sit down and be comfortable. A kitchen table works perfectly for this. Be sure to cover the surface of your table with a plastic garbage bags and a thick layer of newspaper to soak up spills and prevent damage to your table鈥檚 surface.





Step 2 :Get all your supplies ready at hand. You don鈥檛 want to be hunting for them mid nail removal. Have them all spread out in front of you on the table.





Step 3: Using a pair of nail clippers, cut the acrylic nails down as short as possible to make the removal easier.





Step 4 : Fill a glass bowl with nail polish remover (the type with acetone in it). This will be used to soak your nails in and dissolve the nail glue which attached your acrylic nails to your natural ones.





Step 5 :Before dunking your nails apply a coating of petroleum jelly to the skin surrounding your nails. This will help prevent the skin from drying out while soaking in the polish remover. Just be sure you don鈥檛 get any on the nail or it will block the polish remover from loosening the glue.





Step 6 : Dip your fingers into the bowl of nail polish remover and continue to soak them for 15-20 minutes.





Step 7 : Remove your hands and try to gently peel the acrylic nails off. If you are met with resistance and any or all of the acrylic nails do not easily peel off, submerge your fingers in the polish remover again and soak for another five minutes. Never force a nail to come off if it鈥檚 not ready.





Step 8 : After re-soaking you should be able to remove any stubborn acrylic nails and will now be left with only your natural nails.





Step 9 : Thoroughly was your hands in order to remove any polish remover residue and the petroleum jelly.





Step 10 : If any of the nail glue remains on your nails, simply buff this off with a nail buffer. Be gentle and use a light touch to avoid damaging your natural nails.





Step 11: Apply a moisturizing hand cream to your hands and massage in well. This will help replace any lost moisture from the acetone polish remover.





Tips %26amp; Warnings





* Never force an acrylic nail off of your natural one. You risk damaging your own nail, or worse, ripping off your natural nail with the acrylic one.



Polish remover or hot water will not work. You have to use pure acetone.





Pour some into a glass bowl and soak for about 20 minutes. Use an orangewood stick to scrape off the loosened product. Soak and scrape until it's all off.





You will have to do one hand at a time. Keep the nails in the acetone when scraping as it will start to harden if you remove them.





If your acrylics have a gel overlay then you will have to file the nail to break the gel seal. If you don't, no amount of soaking will penetrate the gel.





You can use a very fine buffer after all the product is off to smooth out your nails.





Good luck!
You just had them put on, now you want to take them off? Why? Whatever...Skip the nail polish remover. It's not strong enough. Use 100% pure acetone. Soak for at least a half hour. The acrylic should be softened enough by then to genthy scrape it off with an orange stick.
Let them soak in acetone for 20 mintunes and slowly lift them up, don't peel them quickly or you might catch skin, ouchie!
