Getting yournailsdone at the salon can be an occasional treat or it can be your regular go-to.
Even if you polish your nails yourself at home, chipping or waning nail polish can be a pain.
If you have a few layers of polish on your nails, removing it will be difficult.
If you have gel polish, it will be worse.
Beauty experts agree that whatever you do, you should not pick off nail polish.
Beauty therapist Charlotte Every tellsInsider: “Picking at the polish is bad.
Picking at gel nail polish is really bad.”
It’s best to pick a good nail polish remover that works for you.
The two biggest distinctions among nail polish removers are those that contain acetone and those that don’t.
Plain and simple, removers with acetone take nail polish off more effortlessly and quickly (viaSally).
In addition, acetone can be very drying to nails, as perSelf.
Celebrity manicurist Patricia Yankee says it is important to fully remove all remnants of acetone when you are done.
“After you finish soaking in acetone, you want to verify that you wash it off thoroughly.”
Yankee also says using cuticle oil after acetone will help to prevent the nails from drying out.
Non-acetone removers are oil-based and work much more slowly.
