How to Remove Acrylic Nails Without Acetone

What you need:
- Acetone-free nail polish remover

- Tweezers or a cuticle stick

- Bowl

- Nail clippers

Steps:

1. Clip your nails as short as possible.

2. Use a pair of tweezers or a cuticle stick to extremely gently lift the edges of your acrylics.

3. Soak your nails into a bowl of nail polish remover, and wait 30-40 minutes, when the nails start to loosen, reach for your tweezers once more to pull the acrylics off your nails.

NOTE: Be very careful when doing this step so you don't rip of layers from your nails. You want to just gently loosen it. 

 

How to Remove Acrylic Nails with Dental Floss

What you need:

- Dental floss

- Cuticle sticks 

- A friend or a helping hand

Steps:

1. Very gently lift the edges of your acrylics with a cuticle stick. If your acrylics are old and have already begun to come loose, this step will be super easy.

2. After the edges of your nails have been lifted, have your friend insert a piece of dental floss under the acrylic nail. Very gently move the floss down the nail in a sawing motion until the acrylics start to pop off. Be very careful so you don't hurt your nails. 

Acrylic Nails Removal After-care

- Buff the top of your nails with a nail file to remove any acrylic residues.

- Apply a generous amount of cuticle oil to soften your cuticles.

- Moisturize the rest of your hand with a hand cream or a deep moisturizer.
