How to Remove Acrylic Nails at Home: A Beginner's Guide
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
To remove acrylic nails at home, you will need the following materials:
- Nail clippers
- Acetone nail polish remover
- Non-acetone nail polish remover
- Nail file
- Cotton balls or cotton swabs
- Aluminum foil
- Bowl or dish
- Cuticle pusher or orange stick
Step 2: Shorten Your Nails
Using nail clippers, shorten your acrylic nails as much as possible. This will make the removal process easier.
Step 3: Soak Your Nails in Acetone
In a bowl or dish, pour enough acetone nail polish remover to cover your nails. Heat the acetone under hot running water for a few minutes to make it more effective.
Soak your nails in the acetone for 10-15 minutes, or until the acrylic starts to lift from your natural nails.
Step 4: Remove the Acrylic
Once the acrylic has started to lift, gently push it away from your natural nails using a cuticle pusher or orange stick. Be patient and take your time to avoid damaging your nails.
Step 5: Clean Your Nails
Once all of the acrylic has been removed, clean your nails with non-acetone nail polish remover to remove any remaining residue.
Step 6: File and Buff Your Nails
File and buff your natural nails to smooth out any rough edges.
