What is nail polish remover?
Nail polish remover is a solvent designed to dissolve nail polish, so you can easily wipe old polish away from your nails. Nail polish remover breaks down the polymers that form the hard film of nail polish.
How to remove nail polish
Removing nail polish is simple; follow these steps to get a clean canvas for your next manicure.
You will need:
-
A nail polish remover from our collection (acetone or non-acetone)
-
Cotton balls or cotton pads
Steps:
-
Protect your surface when using nail polish remover with a towel or paper. Also, remember to work in a well-ventilated area, as the varnish remover fumes can be strong.
-
Apply cuticle oil around your nails to prevent the nail polish remover from drying out your skin.
-
Soak a cotton ball or pad with nail polish remover. Or use a pre-soaked nail polish remover pad.
-
Wipe the saturated cotton ball or pad across the nail to remove the softened polish. You may need to repeat this until all the polish is removed, especially for darker colours. You can also hold the cotton pad down to soak down into the nail varnish for easier and faster removal.
-
Use a clean cotton pad or ball to remove the remaining polish residue from your nails and surrounding skin.
-
Nail varnish remover can dry out your skin, so apply cuticle oil or hand lotion afterwards.
Is nail polish remover the same as acetone?
Nail polish remover and acetone are not exactly the same thing. Acetone is a strong solvent that can be a key ingredient of nail polish remover. Acetone nail polish remover removes nail polish effectively but can also dry out your nails and skin.
You can also get an acetone-free nail colour remover that uses alternative solvents like ethyl acetate. These are gentler and better for people with sensitive skin and nails. However, it may take longer to remove darker or glittery nail polish.
