How to Remove Acrylic Nails

Acetone Soak

One of the most common ways to remove acrylic nails without damaging your natural nails is an acetone soak. This method involves soaking your nails in a solution of pure acetone, which will dissolve the acrylic.

Materials You'll Need:

• Acetone
• Glass holder or ziplock bag
• Cotton balls
• Nail file
• Buffer

Instructions:

1. Pour your acetone into your glass holder or ziplock bag. 2. Soak your nails in the acetone for a few minutes, or until the acrylic starts to dissolve. 3. Once the acrylic has softened, use a cotton ball to gently remove it from your nails. 4. File and buff your nails to smooth any rough edges.
