When soaking your nails in acetone, remember to put petroleum jelly on the sides of the nails to avoid harming the skin surrounding the nails. Once the adhesive softens, peel the artificial nails off your natural nails.

Q: How do you care for your nails after artificial nails are removed?

A: It is essential to take proper care of your nails especially after removing artificial nails. The acetone polish remover is strong and it would make the skin around the nails and cuticles to dry. If this is the case, apply a cuticle cream to quicken nail growth and generate proper circulation.

Artificial nails are great nail accessories. But if this is your first time, remember to have it applied, fixed and removed by a professional before doing it yourself. So, visit your nearest salon or nail spa now!
