Removing the nail glue after nail decoration


Every woman likes to sport long, beautiful and colorful nails. They make your hands look very attractive and stylish. Beautiful hands and nails add to the personality. If you are not able to grow nails or maintain them properly then you can use the fake nails for nail decoration. They come in so many different colors and patterns. So finding matching nail colors will never be difficult. You have to wear them using special nail glue. Once the special occasion or party is over you have to remove the glue. If you do not remove it properly it can become quite messy and last for a few weeks. Here are some simple steps to help you to remove the glue properly. 
 
First, remove the fake nails. Now use a soft file and use it gently on the glue. Filing will help you to reduce the size of the large chunks of glue sticking on to your nails. Take a soaking bowl filled with soap and warm water. Dip your hand and leave them for about 3-5 minutes in the water. This procedure helps to soften the glue as well as your nail bed. After some time you will be able to notice the nail glue lifting or peeling off. You can easily remove them by simply peeling it off. 
 
Take a cotton ball and wet it with the nail polish remover or a glue remover. Rub it over the glued surface. The acetone present in the remover will remove all the left over glue from the nails. Repeat using the cotton ball on all your nails till all the glue is removed. After you have removed the glue from all your nails, it is necessary to wash your hands well with water and soap to remove any excess acetone. Acetone can be hard on your skin and is an inflammable liquid. So you have to wash well to get rid of it completely. Ensure that no trace of acetone is left behind. 
 
When you are using the acetone remover your skin may be irritated. Stop the procedure for some time and then continue to remove the glue the next day. Try to buy a remover that contains acetone because it has the ability to dissolve the nail glue and remove it quickly. Other removers may not be very efficient. One thing to be careful of is using the nail file. Use it very gently so that you do not damage the surface of your nails. The bowl used for soaking should be made of glass. Do not take a plastic one because acetone dissolves plastic. So, consider these aspects if you have to use fake nails for nail decoration and want to get rid of the nail glue after the function.
