Acrylic nails are a popular way to achieve long, strong nails. However, they can be difficult to remove and file down at home. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you file down acrylic nails safely and effectively.
Step 1: Remove any nail polish
Before you start filing, remove any nail polish on your nails. You can use either a nail file or nail polish remover to do this.
Step 2: File off as much acrylic as possible
Using a hand file or e-file, carefully file off as much acrylic as possible without getting too close to the natural nail. Be patient and take your time, as this may take some time.
Step 3: Use a nail file to shape and smooth the nails
Once you have filed off most of the acrylic, use a nail file to shape and smooth the nails. Be sure to file in one direction only, to avoid weakening the nails.
Step 4: Buff the nails
Finally, buff the nails to smooth out any rough edges and give them a natural shine.
