DIY: QUICK & EASY WAY TO TAKE OFF "GLUE ON" NAILS WITHOUT DAMAGING YOUR NATURAL NAILS
How to remove nail glue quickly and easily
Nail glue is a strong adhesive used to hold nails in place. It is usually white or yellow in color, and can be difficult to remove. Here are four ways to remove nail glue quickly and easily:
1. Use acetone: acetone is a common household cleaner that can also be used to remove nail glue. Apply acetone to the glue area, wait a few minutes, and then use a cotton ball or a brush to scrub the acetone off.
2. Use a nail file: Use a nail file to remove the glue from the nails. File in a back and forth motion, using gentle pressure.
3. Use a cotton ball and alcohol: Wet a cotton ball with alcohol and place it over the glue area. Blow on the ball until the glue is dissolved. Wipe the area clean with a cloth.
4. Use a remover: Some nail removers contain chemicals that can dissolve the glue. Apply the remover to the glue area and wait a few minutes. Use a cotton ball or a brush to remove the glue.

3. Use a solvent. Try a nail polish remover or lacquer thinner. Make sure to use a cloth to protect your hands and nails.
4. Use a heat gun. Heat the nails until the glue pops off.
