How Do You Remove Fake Nails Safely?
If you have ever tried to remove fake nails at home by just pulling them off, you know the dangers. Not only is the process painful, it also damages your real nails, leaving them weak, torn and thin. If you had your artificial nails applied at a nail salon, you usually should have them removed there, too. However, that is not always possible. Whether you applied the fake nails yourself or just cannot get to the salon, you can safely remove them yourself. Place enough nail polish remover in a bowl so all your nails can be submerged at once. Submerge your fake nails. Allow them to sit for about 15 minutes. Remove your hands from the nail polish remover. See if the nails are loose. If not, re-submerge them for another 10 minutes. Use your fingers and the nail file to gently wiggle the loosened nails off.
