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).
All Done!! - Where to Now??
Now that we have covered the basics of applying, caring for and removal of acrylic nails, you have two options of where to go next.The first would be to start learning how to perform acrylic nail art (lots of pretty designs on top!!). Learn Acrylic Nail Art
