Question 1

Can I remove gel nail polish without acetone?

Accepted Answer

Acetone, being the most effective solvent for gel polish, is also interchangeable with warm water and soapy scrubbing alongside gentle scraping, or non-acetone gel polish removers. However, not every brand of gel polish will be able to work with these options and thus could be less efficient.

Question 2

Will removing gel nail polish damage my natural nails?

Accepted Answer

Removing gel nail polishes should, in theory, not lead to excessive damage if done the correct way. Most importantly, avoiding picking and peeling the polish off is crucial whilst being gentle during the scraping stage. Wrapping up, always provide hydration to the nails and cuticles after the process.

Question 3

How long should I soak my nails in acetone to remove gel polish perfectly?

Accepted Answer

The typical soaking time is 10-15 minutes. However, the exact time may vary depending on the type and thickness of the gel polish. Check the polish for signs of lifting or softening. If it's still firmly adhered, you may need to soak for a few more minutes.

Question 4

Can I reuse the acetone after removing gel nail polish

Accepted Answer

It's generally not recommended to reuse acetone after removing gel nail polish. The dissolved polish and any impurities can contaminate the acetone, making it less effective for future use. It's best to use fresh acetone for each removal session.
