The removal of Acrylic Nails
The removal of Acrylic Nails should be done safely and you should avoid the following methods-
Although it may be tempting to snap off the tips when you’re tired of your fake nails, but it’s really not a good idea. If your nails have grown out substantially underneath, you can end up hurting yourself if the acrylic nail and your natural nail both break off below the edge of the nail bed. Even if the acrylic comes off painlessly, you can damage the surface of your nail.
Resist the urge to file away at the hardened acrylic paste, too. This layer can be quite thick, and you’ll find it difficult to file it down evenly. In addition to the aesthetic challenge of smoothing out your nail surface, you could easily file away too much. Overzealous filing can remove your natural nail along with the artificial layer. And if you have had them done in a nail bar the chances are they are already badly damaged underneath so why make them worst.
To remove acrylic nails safely you should follow the method below
Theses are items you will need:
• Nail clippers
• 2 Nail files (One should be course grain intended for fake nails, the other for natural nails)
• Acetone( not nail varnish remover but pure acetone)
• 2 bowls, 1 large enough to fit the other in (glass is best)
• Kitchen towel
• Almond oil or olive oil
• Nail block/buffer
• Hot water
• Aluminium foil (cut into 10 2″ sections)
. Cuticle pusher/orange stick
• 2 Nail files (One should be course grain intended for fake nails, the other for natural nails)
• Acetone( not nail varnish remover but pure acetone)
• 2 bowls, 1 large enough to fit the other in (glass is best)
• Kitchen towel
• Almond oil or olive oil
• Nail block/buffer
• Hot water
• Aluminium foil (cut into 10 2″ sections)
. Cuticle pusher/orange stick
1.Firstly you will need to Clip fake nails down as low as possible, removing as much as you safely can.
2. File the surface of the nail so that you are breaking down the acrylic and allowing the acetone to penetrate.
3.Soak 10 cotton pads in acetone and place in the strips of foil. and wrap round each nail.
4. Leave for a minimum of 30 minutes, remembering that the moment you remove the foil the break-down of the acrylic will stop because exposing it to the air hardens the acrylic again.
5.After 30 minutes, remove foils, wipe nail firmly with kitchen towel to remove any acrylic that has dissolved with a cuticle pusher or orange stick
.6. Soak cotton pads in acetone again and repeat steps 3-5.
After an hour maybe left most of the acrylic should have come off and you should ten be able to use the natural file to gentle remove the residue if not then just repeat steps 3-5 until you can.
Because acrylic nails is very drying to the nails apply the olive oil to the nails once you hot them off.
