For Acryllic
Nails
Acrylic nails look great and can be a life saver for
those with weak nails or nails that just won't 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
-
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's surface.
-
Step 2
Get all your supplies ready at hand. You don't 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't 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's 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.
