The most important aspect of acrylic nails is knowing how to remove them. If you can remove them properly, it won’t cause any permanent damage to your nails or weaken them. For this reason, we’re don’t usually recommend removing your acrylic nails at home. The worse thing you can do is pluck your acrylics off yourself. The safest way to remove acrylic nails is to go and see your nail technician. If you try to remove them yourself, you can easily damage the nail bed and cause permanent damage.
A professional nail technician will remove your acrylics using an electric file that takes off the top layer. Once this layer has been safely removed, your nails are wrapped with foil that contains an acetone-filled fabric. It takes around 15 minutes for this solution to soak into your nails. Once the foils are removed, your technician will use a cuticle pusher to take off any remaining acrylic. The final step is to use a cuticle oil to give your nails a nourishing boost of hydration to keep them healthy. Having your acrylics properly removed will help keep your natural nails intact.
Every salon and nail technician has their own method for how to remove acrylic nails. If your nails are particularly brittle and weak, then it’s worth asking about their removal process before booking. Some technicians prefer to soak each nail in an acetone solution for 30 minutes to break down the acrylics.
Another reason you want to go to a professional to have your acrylics removed is that they’ll use sterilised tools. You won’t have to worry about any nasty infections, and you can be sure your natural nails will be in safe hands
