How to Remove Nail Polish from Acrylic Nails Without the Nails Coming Off

Step-by-Step Guide

   Check the bottle to ensure that you are getting the right kind., Add enough so that the ball is moist, but not dripping.
   
   If you prefer, you can also use surgical gauze pads, which leave less fuzz on your nails as you take off the nail polish.
   
   You can also use Q-tips for smaller areas on your nails. , Without pressing too hard, rub the moist part of the cotton ball on your nail to take the nail polish off.

   Keep rubbing until you have removed all of the polish from your first nail and then move on to the next nail. , You will probably need to use at least three cotton balls to take the nail polish off of your nails.
   
   However, you might need more, depending on the amount of nail polish on your fingernails.
