What type of remover should be used for artificial nails?

The use of a non-acetone remover for artificial nails is recommended because it is gentler on the nails and surrounding skin. Acetone, while effective for dissolving acrylics and gels, can be very drying and harsh, potentially leading to damage of both the artificial nails and the natural nails underneath. Non-acetone removers provide a safer alternative, especially for clients with sensitive skin or those who frequently get manicures, as they are formulated to remove artificial nails without causing excessive dryness or irritation.

Water-based and alcohol-based removers generally do not have the necessary effectiveness to remove artificial nails properly, as they do not contain the strong solvents required for this task. Non-acetone removers strike an ideal balance between effectiveness and safety for both the nails and the skin.
