How to Remove Fake Nails

Are you ready to take off your fake nails but not sure how to do it safely? Follow these easy steps to remove them without damaging your natural nails. Let’s make this process simple and fun!

Step 1: Soak Your Nails

Start by soaking your nails in acetone or nail polish remover. This helps to loosen the glue holding the fake nails in place. Fill a small bowl with the acetone and dip your nails in it. Let them soak for about 10 to 15 minutes. This will make it much easier to take the fake nails off.

Step 2: File the Surface

After soaking, gently file the surface of the fake nails. Use a nail file to carefully break the seal on the top layer. This step helps the acetone work better and makes it easier to remove the nails. Be gentle to avoid damaging your natural nails underneath.

Step 3: Lift and Pry Off the Nails

Now, use a cuticle pusher or an orange wood stick to carefully lift the edges of the fake nails. Gently pry them off your natural nails. Be patient and avoid using too much force, as this can harm your real nails. If the nails are still stuck, soak them a bit longer and try again.

Extra Tips for Healthy Nails

After removing the fake nails, take care of your natural nails. Wash your hands thoroughly to remove any leftover acetone. Apply some nail oil or moisturizer to keep your nails and skin hydrated. This will help your nails stay strong and healthy.

By following these steps, you can safely remove your fake nails at home. Remember, patience is key to keeping your natural nails in great shape!
