Stay at home. Quarantine. Don’t leave your house! Yes, we get it. This is an important time to stay home due to the coronavirus. But with that in mind, it’s important to keep up with our self-care, including doing our own nails. According to the Los Angeles Times, there is a way to take off your no-chip manicure safely at home:
- First, file the top of each nail with a medium to coarse grit. You should do this until the shine is gone.
- Then, cut little squares of foil to wrap around each fingertip.
- Douse cotton balls in pure acetone. (You can purchase acetone at Walgreens.)
- Wrap each nail and cotton ball with the foil. Leave it on for about 10-15 minutes.
- After your nails have soaked in acetone, scrape off the polish with an orange stick or a metal scraping tool. Be gentle with your nail!
