Preparing Your Nails
If you’re like most people, you probably go to the salon to get your nails done. But what if you want to do it at home? You can remove nail shellac with a few simple steps.
First, remove the nail polish using a nail polish remover. Make sure the polish is completely off before proceeding.
Now, soak your nails in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. This will soften the adhesive on the nail polish and make it easier to remove.
Once the adhesive is softened, use a cotton ball to apply a small amount of acetone to the nail. Make sure to apply the acetone to the entire nail, not just the area around the nail polish.
Now, use a cotton ball to apply pressure to the acetone-soaked nail. Let the nails soak in the acetone for a few minutes.
Once the nails have soaked in the acetone, use a fingernail file to file away the acetone. Be careful not to remove too much of the nail – you only want to remove the acetone.
Finally, apply a new coat of nail polish and finish the nails off with a top coat.
Removing the Shellac
Step 1: Gently remove any remaining shellac with a cotton ball and acetone.
Step 2: If there is any residue left on the nails, use a file to gently remove it.
Step 3: Use a mild polish remover to completely remove the polish.
Step 4: Wipe off any residue with a soft cloth.
Step 5: Apply a new coat of polish and enjoy your newly free nails!
Aftercare for Your Nails
Wash your hands with soap and cold water after removing the nail polish.
Apply a light layer of moisturizer to your nails.
Apply a light layer of top coat to your nails.
Remove the top coat by rubbing it off with a cloth or your hands.
Enjoy your natural nails!
