REMOVAL OF ACRYLIC PRODUCTS

• Sanitise your own and your clients’ hands
• Take down the length of the nails, as much as your client is happy with
• Using a 100/180 grit file (or an e-file if you are trained) remove the bulk of the acrylic product. Make sure not to file over the same area for too long otherwise heat will build up and it will become uncomfortable for your client 
• Next, either submerge fingers into a manicure bowl filled with acetone, or wrap fingers with cotton pads saturated in acetone and thick tin foil
• Remove fingers one by one from either the manicure bowl or wrapped foil
• Scrape off the softened acrylic
• Place fingers back in the bowl or re-wrap and repeat until all of the acrylic is safely removed
• Once all visible product is removed, buff over the nail plate to check there is no remaining acrylic
• Using a 240 grit file tidy the free edge
• You are now ready for a new acrylic application, a Gellifique gel polish application, or simply finish with a good amount of cuticle oil to rehydrate and moisturise.
