Step 6: Removing Acrylic Nails
Its now time to learn the steps of removing acrylic nails.
I much prefer designing acrylics but removal is needed so that we can create new designs!!
Acrylic Nail Removal Steps
- Soak a cotton pad with pure acetone
- Wrap a cotton pad around the acrylic nail
- Wrap alfoil over the cotton pad
- Once all of your acrylic fingernails are covered with alfoil, wait for 30 minutes
- Remove the alfoil and cotton pad from the 1st finger and start gently scraping off the softened acrylic with an orange stick.
- Once you have removed as much acrylic as possible from the 1st finger, put the same cotton pad and alfoil back on again.
- Repeat Step 5 & 6 for each finger, continuing the process until all of the acrylic nails have been removed.
- Wash your hands and apply nail strengthener (do not follow this step if you are wanting to apply new acrylic nails).
