To remove acrylic nails, there are several methods you can use. The most common and foolproof way to remove acrylics without damaging your natural nails is to do an acetone soak. Here are the steps to follow:

What youll need:

• Nail clippers
• Nail file
• Acetone nail polish remover
• Petroleum jelly
• Cotton balls
• Aluminum foil

Steps:

1. Clip your nails as short as possible.
2. File the top layer of the acrylic nails to remove the shiny topcoat.
3. Apply petroleum jelly around the skin surrounding your nails to protect it from the acetone.
4. Soak a cotton ball in acetone nail polish remover and place it on top of your nail.
5. Wrap the nail with a piece of aluminum foil to keep the cotton ball in place.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all your nails.
7. Wait for 20-30 minutes to allow the acetone to break down the acrylics.
8. Remove the foil and cotton ball from one nail and use a cuticle pusher or orange stick to gently push the acrylic off your nail, starting from the cuticle area to the free edge.
9. If the acrylic doesnt come off easily, repeat steps 4-8.
10. After youve successfully removed the acrylic, use a buffer to lightly buff the top of the nails, removing any residue and smoothing the nail.
11. Wash your hands thoroughly.

Note that acetone can be harsh on your skin and nails, so its important to moisturize your hands and nails after the process. If you dont have acetone, you can use dental floss to remove the acrylic nails. However, this method requires more patience and effort, and it may not work as well as the acetone soak. Its also important to note that removing acrylic nails at home can be risky and may damage your natural nails if not done properly. Its recommended to go to a salon and see a trained nail technician who can remove them safely without damaging your own nails.
