Many women love the sexy and glamorous look of long acrylic nails. Acrylic nails are attached to your natural nail bed with glue. When your nails start to grow or look thick with too much nail polish, it is time to remove your acrylic nails.In this article, you'll learn about the three methods of removing acrylic nails: soaking in acetone, filing away, and using a piece of dental floss.

To step

Method 1 of 2: Soak the acrylic nails in acetone

1. Trim your nails. Use nail clippers to trim the ends of the acrylic nails short. Trim away as much of the acrylic nail as possible. If cutting is difficult because your nails are so thick, use a coarse nail file to file your nails. Just be careful not to hit your nail bed as this will cause it to bleed.
2. Find someone to help you. With this removal method, you need a second person to assist you. You need two hands to move the floss under the nails.
3. Ready.

Tips

• Do not pour the acetone into a plastic bowl. The acetone will corrode the bowl and then wash all over.
• You can purchase a professional kit at your local drug store to remove your acrylic nails.
• Do not file your acrylic nails (method 2) until your natural nails have grown long enough to show more clearly than your acrylic nails.

Warnings

• If it is painful to remove the nails or if you are still unable to remove them after several tries, stop and see a nail technician for help.
• Acrylic nails have a small chance of infection if a gap forms between your acrylic nail and your natural nail. If your natural nails get thick and discolored, see your doctor or dermatologist.
• Acetone is highly flammable. Keep it away from heat and fire.
