You’ll need to make sure you have enough nail polish remover to pour in a bowl so that your nails can be fully submerged in it. If you’re using acetone nail polish remover, you can wait 10 minutes and check to see if the acrylic nail has begun to lift. If you’re using non-acetone nail polish remover, you may need to wait as long as 30 minutes before confirming that the extension has begun to lift. Once it has, you can use an orange stick or tweezers to gently lift the extensions and remove them.
