Acrylic nails can be charming and delightful.  They hold well and endure through the trials and tribulations of the day.  This is what you want from a false fingernail, however, it can make them a little challenging to remove.  

When it comes time to take off your acrylic nails, it’s important to do it properly so you protect your natural nails and cuticles.  The glue used to hold acrylics is quite strong.  While pulling or tugging the nail loose might be possible, it can cause problems for the surface of your natural nail.  

Improper removal of acrylics can leave the natural nail damaged, chipped or peeling.  It can also damage the cuticle, not to mention, ripping your nails off can be more than a little painful.  

In order to remove your acrylic nails, you need to gently dissovle the glue that holds them in place.  This is actually quite easy.

Start by using small scissors or nail clippers to trim the nail as short as possible.  Place a clean towel or plastic bag on the surface of a table to prevent spillage or damage to the surface.  Fill a small glass bowl with acetone nail polish remover; enough to cover your nails.  Before you dip your hands in, use a little petroleum jelly to cover and protect the cuticles and finger tips.  

Dip your fingers into the nail polish remover and allow to sit for about fifteen to twenty minutes until the glue on the nails is completely dissolved.  The acrylic nails should slide off quite easily once the glue is gone.  

Wash your hands thoroughly when you’re done to remove all traces of the nail polish remover.  Your natural nails will likely be dull and discoloured, so you can follow up with a nice soak in some olive oil to help rehydrate them and give them a little shine.  Let your nails sit in a bowl of olive oil for about twenty minutes to condition both the nails and cuticles.  Follow this with a good hand moisturizer applied to the hands, nails and don’t forget the cuticles.  

Artificial nails are used as a practical or decorative addition to natural nails – designed to make them more attractive, uniform and to save time. These nails are very popular with users and there are different types available including Press on nails, Acrylic nails, Wrap nails, Gel nails and many more. Whenever you use artificial nails it is best to seek professional advice on the best way to apply and remove them.

Modern Press on nails are more resilient than ever (the tips securely attach to the real nails so they won’t move, easily chip or peel, they have been known to last between 6 to 10 days) and are designed not only to provide an instant transformation, they are easy to apply (just glue them over natural nails) and come in different colours (which do not seem to fade or crack immediately), lengths and styles (for example French manicure).

They are useful if you need to save time and look professional fast.

Acrylic nails provide long nails in the fastest of time, which can be further enhanced with unique designs that can be painted onto the ‘nail canvass’, they tend to be very durable and can be applied to the nails with an acrylic brush or glued on, decide what type of shape and design as they allow the user to be as creative as they want. It is important to take care when using and look for professional advice about applying and removing this type of artificial nails.

Gel nails are a gel type substance that is applied in multiple coats, with each coat dried using a UV lamp after application, to provide a clear and glossy surface. Gel nails can give nails a natural look (but do not last as long as acrylic nails).

They can be tricky to remove if the nails have been left to grow out, find a nail technician for the best advice on application and removal of these artificial nails.

Nail wraps are the best looking type of artificial nails available, and one of the most popular too. They can be made from silk, fibre (glass) or linen which gives them a soft and flexible texture. Nail wraps are cut into a shape the user wants and glued onto the natural nail surface, once dried the wrap is buffed for a better more natural look. Using nail wraps causes the nails to become harder – as they are strengthened by the material bonding to the natural nail surface (silk nail wraps have been used to lengthen the tips of the nails). Another advantage of wrap nails is that they do not require as much maintenance as other artificial nail types and can last for up to two weeks.
