Make sure your room is well ventilated and ventilated, as acetone evaporates very strongly.
Absolutely do not light cigarettes near acetone.

Apply vaselin to the skin around your nails. Acetone can break down plastic and can also be bad for your skin, so it's better to protect your hands. This step will help protect the skin of your hands from being irritated by acetone, especially if you have scratches.

Note do not apply too much vaselin on the nail, so that acetone can affect and dissolve the powder nail layer.
You can use a cotton swab to accurately apply vaselin to the skin of your hands.

Soak your nails in acetone. Take a few cotton balls soaked in warm acetone, then place the cotton pad on your fingertips. Use foil to wrap the cotton pad tightly on the acrylic nail powder. Next, let your nails soak in the acetone for about 30 minutes.

You can also use non-plastic tapes to wrap in the absence of foil.

Remove the foil and cotton pad from your fingertips. The cotton pad will pull off the acrylic powder and come off easily.

If you soak your nails in acetone, use an orange wooden stick to pry off the nail and gently remove the powdered nail layer.
If the acrylic nail powder remains firmly on the nail, repeat the above soaking process for another 20 minutes and try removing the powder again.

Use a soft sponge to file the remaining acrylic nail polish. Now that the acrylic powder has become softer after being soaked in acetone, use this opportunity to file them clean. If the acrylic is hardening while you are filing, use a cotton pad soaked in acetone to soften it.

To avoid damaging the nail, you should wipe the file only in one direction, avoid pulling the saw.
It is possible that some of the top layers of the nail surface have been removed with the acrylic. Be careful in the process of cleaning files, to avoid tearing or damaging the nail.
