How to Remove Acrylic Nails When Real Nail is Broken
Introduction
If you've ever had acrylic nails and experienced a broken real nail underneath, you know how challenging it can be to remove them safely and without causing further damage. In this blog post, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to take off acrylic nails when your real nail is broken.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Gather your tools.
You will need the following tools to remove acrylic nails:
- Nail clippers
- Nail file
- Acetone
- Cotton balls
- Foil
- Orange stick (optional)
2. Cut the acrylic nail as short as possible.
Using nail clippers, cut the broken acrylic nail as short as possible. Be careful not to cut into your natural nail.
3. File the edges of the acrylic nail.
Use a nail file to file the edges of the acrylic nail smooth. This will help to prevent the edges from snagging on your clothing or other objects.
4. Soak your nails in acetone.
Pour acetone into a small bowl and soak your nails for 10-15 minutes. The acetone will help to dissolve the acrylic.
5. Wrap your nails in foil.
Once your nails have soaked in acetone, wrap them in foil. This will help to keep the acetone from evaporating.
6. Wait 15-30 minutes.
Wait 15-30 minutes for the acetone to dissolve the acrylic. The longer you wait, the easier it will be to remove the acrylic.
7. Remove the foil and cotton balls.
Once the acetone has dissolved the acrylic, remove the foil and cotton balls. Use an orange stick to gently push the acrylic off your nails.
8. File and buff your nails.
Once the acrylic has been removed, file and buff your nails to smooth them out.
