"Hi. Today we're going to talk about how we go ahead and remove an acrylic nail. We're going to take a little bit of acetone. Just put it in a real small dish. Make sure it is not a plastic or paper cup, because it will eat through the hole, it'll eat a hole in the bottom. And then you're going to just gently place that in there, just to the fingernail. Now, if that person's nails, or whoever's removing them, has really excessively dry skin, I would recommend putting a little oil or cream around the finger, around the nail - not on the nail - while it's soaking so that it doesn't dry it out any more. And then you're going to let that sit for a minute or two in the remover, and after its been soaking for a minute or two you're going to take it out. While it's still wet, I like to take and just wipe at it, and it should just peel off. Then you're going to just want to scrape gently, and any excess product will just start to come off. Soon as that hits the air though, it tends to re-harden, so you're then you're going to continue to re-soak, and you're just going to keep doing that same procedure over until you've gotten the product off. And what I like to do after you've gotten all the product off, is I like to take a four-way buffer, and just smooth over the nail to make sure you've got any excess product off the nail. And then you can continue and do whatever you're going to do to the nail after."
