Tired of acetone's harsh effects on your natural nails? You're not alone! Many are searching for ways to remove acrylic nails without this potent solvent. Good news: it's possible, though it requires patience.
One popular method involves warm, soapy water. Soak your nails for 20-30 minutes, gently using a cuticle pusher to lift the edges of the acrylic. Repeat this process daily until the acrylic loosens enough to gently peel or clip away. Be patient and avoid forcing it, as this can damage your natural nails.
Another technique involves using dental floss. Gently wedge the floss under the edge of the acrylic and use a sawing motion to separate the acrylic from the nail bed. Again, be cautious and stop if you experience pain.
While acetone is undeniably effective, these alternatives offer a gentler approach to acrylic removal, minimizing damage and promoting healthier, stronger nails. Remember to moisturize your nails and cuticles after any removal process to replenish lost moisture.
