Acrylic nails are a type of fake nail that are made with a liquid and powder monomer. They are usually done in a salon by a professional, but can also be done at home. The nails are then placed over a nail form or tip and are allowed to harden. After the nails have hardened, they are then filed and shaped to the desired look.
If you are looking to remove your acrylic nails, there are a few options. You can go to a salon and have them professionally removed, or you can do it at home.
To remove your acrylic nails at home, you will need:
-Acetone
-Cotton balls
-Nail file
-Orange stick
1. Start by filing down the top of the acrylic nail using a coarse nail file. This will help to break through the hard surface of the acrylic.
2. Soak a cotton ball in acetone and place it over the nail.
3. Wrap your finger in aluminum foil to keep the cotton ball in place.
4. Repeat this process for each nail.
5. Let the nails soak for 20-30 minutes.
6. Using an orange stick, gently push the acrylic nail off of the natural nail.
7. If there is any residual acrylic left on the nail, use the nail file to file it off.
8. Wash your hands with soap and water to remove any acetone.
9. Apply a moisturizer to your hands to help with any dryness caused by the acetone.
