How to Remove Acrylic Nails

What you will need:
Nail clippers
Nail file
Pure acetone
Cuticle sticks
Nail buffer
Olive oil/hand cream
Large cotton balls
Aluminum foil - cut into long strips

Procedure:
Begin by clipping the acrylic nails with the help of the nail clippers and keep it at the shortest length possible. Your next step would involve the use of the nail file. File off any gel that is on the acrylic nails. This is because you would need the acetone for the false nails to react faster to the chemicals. Then, soak ten cotton balls in acetone. Lay each one of these cotton balls over the acrylic fingernails. Now, you need to place the foil strips over the cotton. Wrap it tightly around the cotton and the fingernails. Let it remain in this position for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, peel the foils off from the nails, one at a time. With the help of the cuticle stick, simple scrape the acrylic off! It will come off cleanly. Use the nail buffer to remove any kind of residue. Now, use some olive oil or hand cream and massage it gently into your fingernails. Oil or lotion helps to keep the nails and hands moisturized and smooth.

Always ensure you keep your nails looking good at all times with regular manicure sessions! After all, your hands are important assets adding to your personality! Leave no stone unturned to keep them looking beautiful and super smooth!
