How to Remove OPI Liquid Buff Finishing Resin

OPI Liquid Buff Finishing protects the nail and seals the polish.

OPI Liquid Buff Finishing works to protect acrylic, gel and nail art. The polish works to seal the polish as well as add a shine to nails. When a coat of the finishing polish is applied, nail enhancements will not lift or chip. Because the finishing polish is a sealant and top coat, it can be a challenge to remove. But by following a few simple steps, you can remove the finishing buff without causing damage to your natural nails.

Things You'll Need

• Acetone
• Cotton ball
• Cuticle moisturizer

Instructions

1. Open a window or turn on a fan to ventilate the room where you will be working. Acetone finger nail polish remover can be toxic if too much is inhaled.

2. Soak a cotton ball with the acetone. Although non-acetone polish removers are better for nails, it may not be strong enough to remove all of the resin.

3. Massage the acetone-soaked cotton ball onto the nail to remove the buff finishing resin. Work the remover from the base of the nail all the way to the tip. You may have to go over each nail several times in order for the finisher to be completely removed.

4. Wash your hands to remove the excess acetone. Apply the moisturizer on your cuticles to prevent damage to the cuticle and nail.
