Steps to remove semi-permanent or permanent enamel
With this type of polish, you have to be careful, since bad procedures can weaken your nails and make them brittle.
So, it is best to go to the manicurist center to remove it without risk with the professional implements they have. But if you want to do it from home you can do it with these simple steps:
File your nails
Place the nails soak with warm water so that their cuticle softens and in the same way the paint, to proceed to file to remove a layer of the paint.
Use cotton with acetone
Soak a cotton ball with nail polish remover and place it on top of each.
Wrap the nail in aluminum foil
Wrap each finger with aluminum foil with the cotton inside.
Leave for 15 minutes
Wait 15 minutes with this process on your fingers to remove the paint well.
Remove enamel with cuticle pusher
Once the aluminum foil and cotton have been removed, remove the enamel that is over with a cuticle pusher, so gently that you do not touch the natural nail, as this can damage it.
Polish your nails
If there are still residues you can remove them with a traditional file, be careful not to file the natural nail, and then pass a thinner file on the nail to only remove dirt or debris and apply a moisturizing oil to the nail.
How to remove permanent enamel without acetone
The fastest and most conventional way to remove the enamel is with acetone, but if you do not have it, nothing happens; You can still remove the enamel with other elements that we will describe below.
Using lemon slices
Place in a bowl a little hot water with neutral soap and a few slices of lemon to release the acidity that is needed to remove the enamel.
Then, put your fingers in the container for at least 5 minutes while rubbing the lemon slices on your nails as if you were removing the polish with cotton, so you will remove the polish; Wash your hands thoroughly and hydrate them.
Rubbing with alcohol
The alcohol that we have at home for first aid can be an easy solution to the absence of acetone. To prepare the enamel remover you must place in a bowl a little hot water, neutral soap and dip your fingers so that the enamel softens.
After about 15 minutes you can pass a file to remove the surface layer and then soak cotton with alcohol and rub it on each nail as if it were acetone, the enamel will disappear.
With hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is a component found in first aid kits at home, so you can always have it.
Mix two parts of hydrogen peroxide with one of water in a container, there introduce your fingers for a few minutes, then with your fingers still submerged begin to remove the enamel.
Using vinegar
Combine white vinegar with lemon juice to create a powerful enamel remover that will remove the semi-permanent enamel.
Dip your fingers in hot water with neutral soap for a few minutes to soften the nail, apply the lemon solution with vinegar on a cotton ball and place it on the nail keeping it pressed for at least 1 minute.
What not to do when removing semi-permanent or permanent enamel?
You should not tear off the enamel as we do with traditional paint, since you will damage the nail with this, because the enamel is well adhered so that its use prolongs its use for longer, then, when trying to remove it in that way you will be tearing out layers of the natural nail.
In addition, if you do this on the edge of the nail you can remove the cuticle and with this cause even greater damage to the nail.
