To safely remove acrylic nails at home, follow these expert-recommended steps using acetone: What You Need:

• Pure acetone
• Cotton balls or pads
• Aluminum foil
• Nail clipper
• Nail file (preferably coarse grit, about 100 grit)
• Orangewood stick or cuticle pusher
• Buffer block
• Cuticle oil and moisturizer

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Trim Your Nails: Use a nail clipper to cut your acrylic nails as short as possible to make removal easier and reduce risk of damage.
2. File the Surface: Gently file down the top layer of the acrylic nails with a coarse nail file to break the seal and help acetone penetrate better.
3. Prepare Acetone Wraps: Soak cotton balls in pure acetone and place one on each nail. Wrap each fingertip tightly with a small piece of aluminum foil to hold the cotton in place and trap heat, which speeds up the acrylic dissolving process.
4. Wait: Leave the wraps on for about 20-30 minutes. The acetone will soften the acrylic, making it easier to remove.
5. Check and Remove: Remove one foil wrap and gently push off the softened acrylic with an orangewood stick or cuticle pusher. If it doesn’t come off easily, rewrap and soak for a few more minutes.
6. Repeat: Continue this process for all nails, being patient and gentle to avoid damaging your natural nails.
7. Buff and Moisturize: Once all acrylic is removed, use a buffer block to smooth your nails. Finish by washing your hands and applying cuticle oil and moisturizer to rehydrate your nails and skin.

Additional Tips:

• Avoid forcing or scraping hard acrylic, which can damage your nails.
• Perform removal in a well-ventilated area due to acetone fumes.
• If you prefer not to use acetone, professional removal or careful filing with a nail drill is recommended, but this requires skill to avoid damage.
