We all know Acrylic and Gel nails are a popular way to enhance the look of your natural nails, but it’s important to know how to safely remove them without causing damage.
At Ponteland Hair and Beauty Salon, we understand the importance of gentle nail care and take great pride in ensuring that the process of removing acrylic or gel nails is done with precision and care.
We thought we should share some different methods for removing acrylic or gel nails, some we have heard others mention and discuss, but also highlight our own meticulous approach and why we approach them in this way.
Some common methods for removing Acrylic and Gel Nails:
When it comes to removing them, there are several methods you can consider.
Each method has its own pros and cons, so it’s important to choose the one that best suits your needs.
Soaking in Acetone:
One of the most common methods for removing acrylic or gel nails is soaking them in acetone.
You can fill a bowl with acetone and soak your nails for about 15-20 minutes until they soften.
Gently use a manicure stick to pry off the softened gel or acrylic, taking care not to damage your natural nails.
Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover:
If you prefer to avoid acetone, you can opt for acetone-free nail polish remover.
Soak a cotton ball in the remover and place it on top of the nail, securing it with aluminum foil.
Let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour before gently pushing the softened acrylic and gel off.
