Are you frustrated with how difficult it is to remove gel polish without removing your acrylic nails?
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to remove gel polish without removing your acrylic nails!
How To Remove Gel Polish From Acrylic Nails
What You’ll Need
– Gel Polish
– Acrylic Nails
– Cuticle Oil
– Regular Nail Polish remover
– Soft cloth
– Glasses
– Buffing Block or Drill
Step 1
Start by removing your gel polish with your regular nail polish remover. If your gel polish has a top coat, you may need to use a polish remover specific for top coats. Be sure to read the packaging beforehand so you know what to use.
Step 2
Next, use your cuticle oil to gently massage the nails and help to remove any polish residue.
Step 3
If you have acrylic nails, you will now want to use your regular nail polish remover to remove the gel polish. Again, be sure to read the packaging beforehand to know what to use.
Step 4
Once the gel polish is removed, you can buff the nails with a buffing block or drill to restore the original color. Be sure to use a light touch so you don’t damage the nails.
Step 5
Finally, use your glasses to read the color code on the gel polish bottle. If the code is difficult to read, use a light to see it better. Once you have the color code, you can paint the nails the color you want.
The Acetone Soak
There are two ways to remove gel polish without removing acrylic nails. The first is to use acetone to soak the gel polish off. The second is to use a special remover that is specifically made to remove gel polish without damaging acrylic nails.
To use acetone to remove gel polish, soak a cotton pad in acetone and apply it to the nail. Leave the pad on the nail for a few minutes, then remove it with a tissue. Repeat until the gel polish is gone.
To use a special remover to remove gel polish without damaging acrylic nails, first remove the gel polish using acetone. Then apply the remover to the nail and scrub the polish off.

If you want to remove gel polish quicker, you can use an acetone-based remover. acetone breaks down the gel polish and causes it to chip and flake. Acetone is also very dangerous, so be careful when using it.
If you want to remove gel polish without damaging your nails, you can use a special remover called a LED light LED light polish remover. This remover uses a light to break down the gel polish and remove it without damaging your nails. LED light polish removers are not as effective as acetone-based removers, but they’re safer to use.
