Removing Nail Glue from Nails

Acetone-Based Nail Polish Remover

Dip a cotton swab in acetone nail polish remover and press it against the glued area. Hold for a few seconds until the glue starts to dissolve.

Warm Water and Oil Soak

Soak your hands in a bowl of warm water and oil for 10 minutes. The oil will help to break down the glue and the warm water will help to soften your skin.

Tips

Be careful not to get acetone on your skin, as it can be drying.

If you have sensitive skin, test the acetone or olive oil on a small area of skin before using it on your nails.

If the glue is still not coming off, you may need to use a stronger solvent, such as paint thinner. However, be sure to test the solvent on a small area of skin first to make sure it does not cause irritation.

Once you have removed the glue, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
