 Subject: Removing AcrylicsMessage: Hi Y'all! I'm going to give NGF a try as soon as my order arrives. My natural nails are very thin and just plain ugly, but I don't like having to wear acrylics. I've read lots of posts about NGF on the Q board. Yes, I know there is some drama going right now. Since I had just placed my order, Barbara called to make sure I understood how the product worked. That was very nice of her to do. Anyway...getting to the question at hand...what is the best method to use when removing acrylics at home? Barbara told me that there are some very knowledgeable women here that can give me some tips. I did remove them at home once before, and it was a horrible experience. I found an old post with the following instructions... Gather these things: Cotton balls, or something disposable like tissue ACETONE--whether it's polish remover containing it or straight stuff from the beauty supply, or Home improvement store (it's all the same if it says "Pure Acetone". Aluminum Foil--regular home stuff. Dish or hand towel Heating pad-- low setting! 1.soak each cotton ball with the acetone and place it on the whole nail. 2. Cover the cotton and the nail with a piece of foil--make a ball around the finger. 3. Wrap hand in a towel. 4. Cover or wrap hand with the heating pad (low setting!) 5. Wait 15 minutes and remove the foil wiping away loose product with the cotton ball. 6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until all product is removed. DO NOT pull, rip or pry the product away from your nails at ANY time. Is this the method that y'all would suggest? TIA, Tabby |

Exploring new avenues can be costly and frustrating. Like I said on the phone, I have no real time, first hand knowledge with the removal process so I will stand down for others to assist with your quest for ease of this obviously tedious process. I just know that once those nails come off you will need plenty of TLC going on those puppies. So be faithful with the application of the formula and I have all the confidence in the world that you too will achieve your goal of reclaiming your nails. We will do all we can to help you over the rough spots. Again, thank you and welcome aboard! |

There always has been, which is beyond any one of us to explain. When I took off my acrylics, I did it the manly (stupid) way. I ripped them off. I do NOT recommend that. LOL Someone else here will have the answers, I am sure. Please come back often and visit with us!!! |
