How to remove Acrylic nails, Gel or Gel Nail Polish with 100% Pure Acetone?
- Before soaking, gently file the top layer of your current set of nail enhancements to break the seal and allow better acetone penetration. Following the correct order of steps ensures optimal results.
- After filing, brush away any dust from the nail surface to ensure effective removal.
- Take care to protect your natural nails during the removal process to maintain their health and strength.
- To soak off, saturate a cotton ball with 100% Pure Acetone and place it on the nail, wrapping the finger in aluminum foil to allow body heat to activate the removal. Acetone removes gel, acrylic, and dip powder residues from the nail surface. Its rapid evaporation makes the removal process faster, and studies have shown acetone's superior performance in removing nail products.
- Used a Nail Bath: add warm water to the white bowl, and place the acetone in the clear upper bowl.

Safety Precautions When Using Acetone?
When using 100% pure acetone as a nail polish remover, it’s important to prioritize safety to protect your skin, nails, and overall well-being. Pure acetone is highly effective for the removal of nail polish, gel polish, dip powder, and acrylic nails, but its strength means it should be handled with care for the best results and a positive experience.
Always use acetone in a well-ventilated area to minimize inhalation of fumes during the removal process. Wearing protective gloves can help decrease the risk of skin dryness or irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. If acetone comes into contact with your skin, be sure to wash the area thoroughly and apply a nourishing moisturizer to restore hydration. It is recommended to follow established exposure limits and safety guidelines when using acetone to ensure safe handling.
To achieve effective removal of gel, acrylic, or dip powder, soak a cotton ball in pure acetone and place it directly on the nail, avoiding the surrounding skin as much as possible. Wrapping your nails in foil helps the acetone work faster, making the job easier and reducing the time needed for removal. After the polish or gel has been removed, wash your hands with soap and water, then moisturize your nails and skin to keep them healthy.
Remember, acetone is flammable and should be kept away from open flames, heat sources, and sparks. Store your nail polish remover in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children and pets, to ensure safety at home or in the salon.
By following these simple precautions, you can safely use 100% pure acetone for all types of nail polish, gel polish, and acrylic removal. NSI Nails Australia offers high-quality, vegan, and cruelty-free acetone products at a good price, with fast delivery and bulk buying options for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Can 100% pure acetone remove nail glue residue?
Yes, 100% pure acetone can help remove nail glue residue. It generally works by breaking down common adhesives, like the cyanoacrylate-based options in nail products.
Simply apply acetone to a cotton pad and hold it over the residue for several minutes. However, practice caution by keeping acetone away from eyes and open cuts. After the application, carefully wipe or push the residue away with gentle pressure, but avoid scraping hard to protect your nails and skin.
Lastly, wash your hands thoroughly and use cuticle oil or hand cream to counteract any drying effects.
Is it normal for 100% pure acetone to feel cold during removal?
Absolutely. This isn't an allergic reaction or sign of sensitivity. Feeling cold from acetone during removal is completely normal. As acetone evaporates, it pulls heat away from your skin and nails, creating a cooling sensation. This effect is strongest when acetone is exposed to air, like in foil wraps or nail baths.
While mild coolness is expected, burning, stinging, redness, or irritation means you should stop. When this happens, be sure to wash the area with soap and water immediately.
In line with this, even if your client does not experience these effects, avoid leaving it on their skin longer than needed. This helps keep the nails and overall area feeling plump and hydrated after the process.
What can I do if the product is still stuck after acetone soaking?
Simply soften it up with another short soak instead of pulling or prying. Reapply fresh acetone to a cotton pad, wrap the nail snugly, and wait a little longer for more effect.
You can also gently nudge loosened areas with our orangewood cuticle stick, but stop if the nail feels painful or the product doesn't move. Lightly buffing only the top layer before soaking may also help acetone reach the product. Just take care and avoid filing into the natural nail.
How do I use 100% pure acetone to clean nail tools?
Begin by wiping and removing any visible marks on the tools. Dampen a lint-free wipe or cotton pad with 100% pure acetone and then gently rub until the unwanted residue lifts off.
For metal tools like our cuticle nail nipper at NSI Nails, a brief dip may help, but dry them fully afterwards to reduce moisture-related marks. Do not soak wooden, painted, plastic, or rubber tools, as they may not tolerate acetone in the same way.
In addition, acetone helps clean but doesn't replace proper disinfection where required. It is important to continue with your standard sanitation routines and practices for optimal hygiene. This way, you can maintain professional standards.
As an example, sterilisation helps eliminate pathogens that acetone alone can't tackle. Combine the strengths of various methods for a comprehensive tool cleaning. Such a focus on disinfecting and sanitation fosters a healthy, safe environment for you and your clients.
Can I pour acetone into another dish or a pump dispenser for easier use?
You can transfer acetone to another container for short-term use. However, make sure the container is acetone-resistant and used properly. For instance, glass or chemical-resistant containers are ideal, especially since thin plastics may soften or deteriorate when in contact with 100% pure acetone.
On top of this, keep the main bottle tightly closed if not in use. You should also avoid storing acetone in unlabelled jars, drink bottles, food containers, or anything a child could mistake for another liquid.
Does 100% pure acetone expire or lose strength over time?
100% pure acetone does not usually "expire" in the same way other cosmetic products do, but it can lose effectiveness over time.
If the lid is left loose, just about any kind of acetone will evaporate. Plus, should water, oils, or other elements get into the bottle, the product may not perform as cleanly or as intended.
Above all, should your acetone smell unusual, look cloudy or contain debris, replace it immediately. The same goes for when it no longer effectively softens or removes products like acrylic nails.
Can I reuse 100% pure acetone from a nail bath?
Reusing acetone from a nail bath is not recommended.
Even if it's 100% pure acetone, what's used can now contain dissolved polish, glue, gel, nail dust, and other residues. These contaminants can make the solution less effective and hygienic for your next session. While it may still appear clean after one soak, using fresh acetone achieves better, safer results.
With this, pour only what you need into the nail bath to reduce waste. You can also confidently continue buying new stock, as we have competitively priced 100% pure acetone here at NSI Nails.
How should I dispose of used acetone, foil wraps, and cotton pads?
100% pure acetone should not be poured down drains or onto the ground. For small salon and household amounts, keep them in a sealed, clearly labelled container. Once you're ready, take it to your local council's chemical waste drop-off, facility, or program.
As for small amounts on cotton pads, foil wraps, or paper towels, let them dry fully in a safe, well-ventilated outdoor area. This should be a place that's away from children, pets, heat and sparks.
Once dry, place these materials in regular rubbish (unless your local rules say otherwise). Throwing wet, acetone-soaked materials straight into a closed bin may introduce flammability risks, as vapours from closed evaporation can build up.
