How to remove extended nails at home

We women often turn to the master for nail extension. Because with extended nails it is very convenient and every day you do not need to think about a manicure. But sometimes there are times when you urgently need to take them off, and there is no time or opportunity to visit the master. For this, we have created our article in which we will tell you how to remove extended nails at home.

Removing acrylic nails

You will need a special liquid to help dissolve the acrylic. If you do not have such a liquid and there is no way to purchase it, then take ordinary acetone. We take acetone not technical, they can very much injure the nails and the very skin of the fingers.

Next, you will need cotton pads, a high abrasive nail file, foil, and moisturizing hand cream. After that, cut the foil into pieces of about 10 * 10, so that it is convenient for you to wrap them around your marigold.

After that, we begin to file off the acrylic from your nail with a nail file. We cut off only the top layer. This is a rather laborious task, but it is necessary. Since the top layer is the strongest and most durable. When you process all your marigolds in this way, then proceed to acetone.

Take a cotton ball and soak it in liquid. Then put it on your finger and wrap the nail with foil. Do the same with the rest of the nails. Leave such a "compress" on the nails for at least 40 minutes.

When time has passed, remove the "compress" and remove the softened acrylic with a nail spatula. Get the job done quickly because the acrylic will harden again soon. Then you need to thoroughly wash your hands, and then apply a nourishing cream on them and on your nails.

We begin our work with the fact that we bite off the excess length (that is, the entire length) with the help of tweezers. Be very careful as the cut off piece can easily get into your eye. Then we begin to file off the gel from the nails. First, cut down firmly and firmly.

Then, when you see that your own nail is already close, cut off the gel more carefully. But you should leave a small layer of gel on your nail. And only then polish the nails with a polishing file. Then wash your hands and apply a moisturizer to them.
