Removing artificial nails correctly is extremely important to maintain the health of your natural nails. Improper removal can cause damage to the nail bed and surrounding skin, leading to pain, discomfort, and potential infection.

Here are some tips on how to remove artificial nails safely:

Soak your nails: Begin by soaking your nails in warm, soapy water for at least 10-15 minutes. This will help to soften the nails and make them easier to remove.

File the top layer: Use a coarse nail file to file down the top layer of the artificial nails. This will help to break the seal between the nail and the artificial nail.

Use acetone: Soak a cotton ball in acetone and place it on top of the nail. Secure it in place with a small piece of foil, and repeat for all nails. Leave the acetone-soaked cotton balls on for about 10-15 minutes.

Gently remove the nails: After the allotted time, use a wooden cuticle pusher to gently push the artificial nails off your natural nails. If the nails don’t come off easily, repeat the soaking and try again.

Clean and moisturize: Once all the artificial nails are removed, clean your nails and hands thoroughly, and apply a rich moisturizer to prevent dryness and promote healthy nail growth.

Remember to never force or pull off artificial nails, as this can cause damage to your natural nails. Always be patient and gentle when removing them to ensure healthy nails in the future
