No one in the US is going to the nail salon these days, thanks to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.<br />And according to Allure Magazine, that means many Americans are having to take their manicures into their own hands!<br />Professional nail technicians shudder at the idea of people removing acrylic nails at home, but these are extraordinary times.<br />First, open the window for ventilation and assemble your tools. If you don't have them, consider buying a kit online.<br />You'll need a bowl, foil, cotton balls, an orange stick or metal pusher, nail clippers, a nail file with two grits (100/80), buffer pure acetone, and a nail.<br />First, cut your acrylics down to about two centimeters above the nail bed for length.<br />Next, file the remaining polish and acrylic nail away. The more you remove at this stage, the less you'll have to soak off.<br />Then, soak cotton balls in the acetone, then attach them to your nails with the foil. Or, soak nails in a bowl of acetone for 30 minutes.<br />Finally, push the acrylic off your nails. Shape, file, buff, and moisturize your nails. Done!
