very important information!
I used a nail glue to apply my artificial nails but it was a different brand than the nail product itself. Now, I can’t get the artificial nails to come off. What do I do?
In most instances the brand of nail glue used shouldn’t matter. However, in a few there is a strange interaction between the acrylic nails and the glue. Usually, it results in nails that won’t stay on rather than ones that won’t come off. However, either problem is possible.
Try soaking your nails in acetone nail polish remover for five to 10 minutes; no longer than 15. Make sure to work the solution in underneath the nails as much as possible. The nails and glue should soften sufficiently to allow nail removal even if they peel away in sections rather than in a single piece. If that doesn’t work, however, you may have to use pure acetone, which is much harsher to skin and cuticles.
