How to Remove Nail Polish at Home

Hello Friends, Today i am going to tell you How to Remove Nail Polish at Home. This is the best way to Remove Nail Polish at Home.So you can check Are you a nail color addict, who keeps changing her nail paints or love to try attractive nail arts frequently? If yes, then you must have been using regular nail color removers for wiping away your polishes since long? But do you know that most of the commercial nail polish removers contain a harmful chemical called ‘acetone’, which causes several serious risks to our health? Whether you want to avoid acetone-based color removers or are simply running out of one, you have some very cheap, common and risk-free alternatives to it. Check out the easy peasy ways to remove nail color without using a color remover:

The Foil Method
This method involves covering your nails with a cotton ball soaked with acetone and putting a foil over it. This is the safest method and the most popular one as well. If you’ve ever been to a salon to get it removed, you would notice that they do the same thing!

You Will Need

10-15 cotton balls
10-15 strips of aluminum foils (big enough to wrap around your fingers)
Pure acetone
Gritty nail file
Orange stick
Petroleum jelly

Step One
The first thing you have to do is remove the top shiny coat, which is what keeps the paint from chipping. You have a better chance of removing the polish once this layer is gone. Grab a gritty nail file and buff away the top coat. You should have nails that look nearly matte and rough. Do not file beyond the top coat as you may come too close to your actual nail and damage it.

Step Two
Apply petroleum jelly to the skin around the nails. This helps to protect the skin from the strong acetone.

Step Three
Douse a cotton ball in acetone, and be generous about it! This is what will help the gel polish to flake off. Make sure that the acetone is 100% pure, as it is the most effective. Place the cotton ball over the nail completely.

Step Four
Wrap the cut pieces of aluminum foil over the cotton balls. The foil will help to keep the acetone from evaporating, and will soak into the gel polish. Now you must wait for about 30 minutes. Yes, it is a time-consuming process, but hey, you got to enjoy your gel manicure for two weeks, didn’t you? Be patient and relax or watch a movie during this time.

Step Five
After 30 minutes, check to see if the polish is flaking off. You can use either an orange stick or your nail to check. Slightly start pushing at the end of the polish. In case you find that some areas aren’t flaking off, soak it again for an additional 10 minutes. This should be enough time for the polish to come off.

Step Six
Clean any leftover polish and wash your hands with soap to get rid of the acetone on your fingers. Trust me, you do not want to walk around like that, lest you wanna catch fire! Acetone is highly inflammable so make sure to store it away in a cool and dry place. Once you are done, apply a nail oil or cream to protect the nail, as it may look dry.

The Soaking Method
This method takes a longer time and is not as preferable, as it involves directly soaking your fingers in acetone. It still works the same and you do not need the foils or the cotton balls.

You Will Need

One large bowl
One medium bowl
Pure acetone
Gritty nail file
Orange stick
Petroleum jelly

Step One
Fill the bigger bowl with warm water. Ensure that it is only warm and not hot. Keep the acetone away from extreme heat as it is highly inflammable. Pour the acetone into the medium and place it into the bigger bowl to achieve a double boiler effect, and leave it for 3-5 minutes.

Step Two
In the meantime, much like the previous method, you must buff away the top coat layer with a gritty nail file. Once you are done, it should look matte. Coat the skin around the nails in petroleum jelly to protect the skin.

Step Three
Place your fingers in the warm acetone, and soak them for about 10-15 minutes or till the polish begins to flake off.

Step Four
Use an orange stick or your nails to push at the edge of the flaking polish. It should easily come off. If it is still stubborn, you may soak them for a while longer.

Step Five
Clean up any leftover polish and wash your hands with soap to completely remove the acetone on your fingers. Your nails will probably look and feel dry at this point, so make sure to use nail cream and cuticle oil. Removing gel nail polish with acetone can be a tedious task.

Other Methods

1. Dark Nail Color
Surprised? Well, it is true. If you have a nail paint that is darker in shade than the current one, you can make use of it for removing your nail color. Apply the dark nail color to your already colored nails in thick coats and wipe them off with a cotton ball right away. Be as fast as possible so that the color doesn’t get enough time to dry up.

2. Toothpaste
A dollop of toothpaste is all you need to remove the nail color. Use a small amount of white toothpaste on each nail then start scrubbing with an old toothbrush.White toothpastes work best as they lift and pull the color off your nail.

3. Body Spray
If you are running out of nail remover, consider your body spray for getting rid of your nail color. Place the bottle of the spray in such a way that its nozzle remains only a couple of centimeters away from your nail. Now, spritz it on the nail and wipe off the nail color by using a cotton ball. Do the same for all other nails.

4. Hair Spray
Just like your body spray, your hair spray can also be a good choice for taking out the old color from your nails. Spritz it on each of your nails and rub gently with a cotton swab. However, hair spray may dry out the nails and cause it to peel. Hence, you should wipe it off the nails as soon as possible.

5. DIY nail polish remover
Lemon Juice and Vinegar Mix
Replace your acetone-filled, damaging polish remover with a simple, easy and completely safe home remedy. Take 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to it. Blend them well together. Soak your fingers for 5-10 minutes in warm water. Now, dip a cotton ball into this mixture and rub your painted nails with it gently. Spending 10 to 20 seconds for each nail will eliminate all the traces of your old polish efficiently.
