Remove acrylic nails it is not a very simple task. More than anything because we must always be very careful not to spoil our nails. When we want to show off a more special and unique manicure, we always turn to false nails.

Many of us go to a professional and thus, we put ourselves in good hands, but if you want to do it at home today we will tell you how to remove acrylic nails. Because there are several steps that we can take and with complete safety. Do you want to find out?

Remove acrylic nails with silver foil and acetone

Perhaps acrylic nails are one of the most used styles. Because they give us very different styles and they are also quite resistant. But when it comes to removing them, it can be more complicated. Therefore, we resort to some simple homemade methods. In this case, we will need acetone, cotton, nail clippers, silver or aluminum foil, petroleum jelly and a file.

• First we are going to cut nails what we can. They are thick and we know it, so you can help yourself with the file to make this job easier. But always be careful not to damage the skin or our natural nails.
• Then, we will apply a little petroleum jelly around the nail, that is to say, by the skin. This step is vital to be able to protect the skin from the process.
• We soak a piece of cotton in acetone and we place it on each nail. Next, we have to cover the fingers, and this cotton, with a piece of silver paper. We will let it rest for half an hour, so that the nails can soften enough.
• After that time and when removing the paper as well as the cotton, the acrylic nail should come out. Try not to jerk hard, because if it is still securely attached, go back to repeat the process about 20 more minutes.
• Rinse your hands well and apply a moisturizer.

Remove your false nails with a file

It is not always an easy step, but we can also do it. For this you need a good nail file or polisher.

• We repeat the first step as in the previous process. We must cut the nails what we can.
• Then it's the lime's turn. Since with her we will go polishing the false nail, until the natural nail is visible. At this point we must mention that it is something that we must take care of and a lot. So, it is best to go little by little so as not to damage the natural nail.
• When you see that the acrylic nail is gone but some glue residues, then you can help yourself with one of the sticks that we use for the cuticles.
• Finally, we pass a basic file and apply a little moisturizer on the hands and nails. So that the hydration returns to them.

Dental floss to remove false nails

Perhaps to many it is a bit strange, but it seems that it is another of the most reliable methods to be able to remove false nails.

• In this case, the first thing to do is to slightly lift the lower edge of the nails. You will do it with a toothpick or cuticle cutter.
• Now you will need the help of another person. Since she will be the one who begins to floss through this hole that we have raised. You have to do it little by little and not in one go.
• But although it may be a bit odd, it is true that it is an effective method. Once the nails have been removed, then you can use a file to shape your nails and of course, a little moisturizer that is not missing.

Oil for your nails

Especially when you need to remove the nails if they are already a little loose, this is the best trick. Because olive oil will make your nails softer. Therefore, we must take un little olive oil in a bowl. Then we put our hands in it. Wait about 15 minutes and then you will see how the nails loosen if you touch them back and forth. Residues can also be removed with acetone and again, apply a little moisturizer or a few drops of oil, which is also a great ally. After removing the nails, let the natural ones take center stage, so it is better to let them rest for a couple of weeks.
