How to Remove Old Nail Paint


  

Nail polish is beautiful: it becomes more like an accessory than just paint. Removing it after it has been on awhile can be quite a job. Acetone polish remover works best. However if you have acrylic tips you will be better off using nonacetone remover because acetone can turn the acrylic a bit gooey. Use plenty of remover to prevent the cotton ball from sticking to the nail.

Things Youll Need:

Cotton balls
Acetone and nonacetone nail polish remover
Wooden cuticle sticks


Saturate a cotton ball with acetone nail polish remover. Nonacetone remover is preferable if you have tips on but either will work.Massage the cotton ball over your nail in circular motions. Massage away from the finger to prevent excess polish from staining the skin.Remove resistant polish by holding a saturated cotton ball over the nail for 15 to 30 seconds before massaging.

Remove nail polish stuck between the finger and nail bed by wrapping a piece of cotton around a wooden cuticle stick to make a slender cotton swab. This technique allows you to remove unwanted polish from the creases without damaging the desired polish. You can also purchase polish removing pens for this purpose.Repeat for all 10 fingers.Wash hands immediately to remove any excess chemicals or color left on the skin or nail.
