How to Remove Acrylic Nails

Professional Removal

Salon Removal

To remove acrylic nails at a salon, expect to pay between $15 to $35. The process is similar to gel removal. A nail technician will use a nail buffer to roughen up the surface of the polish. Then, they will soak your nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes. Once the acrylic has softened, the technician will use a cuticle pusher to gently remove it from your natural nails.

DIY Removal

Acetone Method

If you prefer to remove your acrylic nails at home, you can use the acetone method. You will need 100% acetone, cotton balls, and aluminum foil.

1. File the top layer of your acrylic nails to create a rough surface.
2. Cut cotton balls into small pieces and soak them in acetone.
3. Place the cotton balls on your nails and wrap each nail with aluminum foil.
4. Wait 10-15 minutes, or until the acrylic has softened.
5. Use a cuticle pusher or orange stick to gently remove the acrylic from your natural nails.
6. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Tips:

• Be careful not to file your natural nails when you are removing the acrylic.
• Acetone can be drying, so make sure to moisturize your hands after removing your acrylic nails.
• If you have any irritation or discomfort, stop using acetone and consult a doctor.
