A lot of nail polish removers contain acetone. Bearing this in mind, acetone-based nail polish removers can be effective for removing gel nails at home.
A guide on how to remove gel nail polish with regular nail polish remover
Begin by filling a small bowl with nail polish remover.
Dip your fingertips into the nail polish remover, and allow your nails to soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
After this time has passed, check your nails. The polish should begin to lift away from the nail, allowing you to gently buff off the polish.
After all of the polish has been removed, gently buff your nails to smooth the surface.
Apply a small amount of cuticle oil to your cuticles to keep them hydrated.
That being said, when it comes to removing your nail polish at home, the best product to use is 100% acetone and I would recommend this over nail polish remover.
It is important to note that while acetone is the most effective way of removing gel polish, it can be harsh on the skin, cuticles, and nails. Bearing this in mind, I recommend moisturizing your hands with lotion and your cuticles with cuticle oil to ensure that they remain as healthy as possible.
