To safely remove nail glue from your nails, you can follow these steps:
1. **Soak Nails in Warm, Soapy Water**: Fill a bowl with warm water and add a mild soap or dish detergent. Soak your nails in this solution for about 10-15 minutes. This can help soften the glue.
2. **Gently Scrape Off Glue**: After soaking, use a soft towel or a gentle nail file to gently scrape off the softened glue from the surface of your nails. Be very careful not to damage your nails or scrape too hard.
3. **Acetone or Nail Polish Remover**: If the glue persists, you can try using acetone or a nail polish remover that contains acetone. Soak a cotton ball or pad in acetone and gently rub it over the glued areas. Allow the acetone to sit for a few minutes to dissolve the glue, then gently scrape off the softened glue with a manicure stick or a soft towel.
4. **Moisturize**: After removing the glue, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to remove any remaining residue. Apply a moisturizing hand cream or cuticle oil to nourish your nails and cuticles, as acetone can be drying.
5. **Avoid Peeling**: Avoid peeling or forcefully removing the glue, as this can damage your nails. Always opt for gentle methods to dissolve and remove the glue.
If you have sensitive skin or any irritation occurs during this process, discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional for further guidance.
