Easy and Safe Methods for Removing Acrylic and Gel Nails at Home

Removing Acrylic Nails

To remove acrylic nails at home, you will need a nail clipper, acetone, aluminum foil, and cotton balls. First, use the nail clipper to carefully cut your acrylics as short as possible. Next, soak your nails in acetone for 15-20 minutes. Use a cotton ball to apply acetone to any remaining acrylic and gently scrape it off. Repeat this process until all the acrylic has been removed.

Removing Gel Nail Polish

To remove gel nail polish at home, you will need acetone, aluminum foil, and cotton balls. First, file the top layer of your gel polish to create a rough surface. Next, soak cotton balls in acetone and place them on your nails. Wrap your nails in aluminum foil and let them sit for 15-20 minutes. Use a cuticle pusher or orange stick to gently remove the gel polish. Repeat this process until all the gel polish has been removed.
