Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these steps to remove Mesauda semi-permanent nail polish without damaging your nails:
Step 1: Prepare Your Nails
Before starting the removal process, trim your nails and remove any nail extensions or decorations. This will make the removal process easier and quicker.
Step 2: Soak Cotton Balls in Acetone
Take a few cotton balls and saturate them with acetone or nail polish remover. Make sure they are wet but not dripping.
Step 3: Apply Cotton Balls to Your Nails
Place the soaked cotton balls directly on top of each nail. Ensure that the entire nail surface is covered.
Step 4: Secure with Tin Foil
Wrap each of your nails with a small piece of tin foil. This will help to hold the acetone-soaked cotton balls in place and prevent evaporation.
Step 5: Wait
Leave the cotton balls and tin foil wraps on your nails for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the acetone to penetrate the layers of the nail polish and break it down.
Step 6: Gently Remove the Wraps
After the waiting time is over, remove the tin foil wraps from your nails. The nail polish should have started to lift and peel off from the nail surface.
Step 7: Clean the Remaining Polish
Use an orange stick or a cuticle pusher to gently scrape off any remaining nail polish. Be careful not to scrape your natural nail underneath.
Step 8: Moisturize Your Nails
After the polish is completely removed, it’s essential to moisturize your nails and cuticles. Apply a hand moisturizer or cuticle oil to keep your nails healthy and hydrated.
Tips and Tricks
- If you don’t have tin foil, you can use cotton pads instead. Just fold them over your nails and secure them with rubber bands.
- For stubborn nail polish, you can repeat the removal process or try soaking your nails for a longer duration.
- Take breaks in between removal sessions to allow your nails to breathe and recover from acetone exposure.
By following these simple steps and tips, you can easily remove Mesauda semi-permanent nail polish at home. Remember to be gentle and patient throughout the process to avoid damaging your nails. Happy polishing!
