Nail decoration is one of the most important parts to make a woman perfect. Many women visit regular salons to make their nails attractive and many do their nail decoration at home by using a different type of nail kits such as french manicure kit, acrylic nail kit or dip powder start up kit. It is true that we have to give special focus when we apply a nail product on our natural nail for a perfect output as well as for healthy nails but besides it, we should give special care when we are removing them. Here we will discuss regarding the safest way to remove nail polish from our nails.

Normally, there have two different types of polish removers are available in the market, acetone and non-acetone. Maximum number of brands offer both type of removers and normally they mention it on the label that which is acetone and which is not. Both types of removers contain a solvent that works by dissolving the hand film that is left on your nails by the ingredients in the nail polish. Normally, nail polishes contain some common ingredients like plasticizes, film former's, resins and color pigments. All these ingredients work to make your nails attractive and give a nice even of polish. But the main problem with them is that they are not easily removable.

If you Select Acetone
Acetone nail polish removers are a very powerful solvent and it works with best removing polish. On the other hand, it’s also very harsh because it removes a lot of natural oils from your skin. Even, if you really use too much acetone then you will found that your skin become white and that means you have made your skin dry. But still, acetone is the most effective way to remove nail polish. Along with its effectiveness, it will make your nails and cuticles harsh as well as very dry. If your nails are dry or have the splitting problem then you should avoid acetone remover but if you like to use very dark nail polish colors then acetone is for you.

If you Select Non-acetone
On the other hand, non-acetone polish removers use less aggressive solvents such as ethyl acetate, propylene carbonate, and isopropyl alcohol. Even polish removers without acetones are labeled as natural or organic but still they use solvent, they just avoid acetone. Also, those type of polish removers adds moisturizing agents such as glycerin, soy, and panthenol to reduce the drying problem. Bytheway, these formulations do not dissolve the polish coating as efficiently so you have to work hard to take off the old polish. The main benefit with non-acetone polish remover that they are not a harsh product and also have the less drying problem. But they aren’t able to give results like acetone polish remover. These non-acetone acetone products are best for those who like to use light color nail polish and also for those who has unhealthy nails.

At last, it is a truth that acetone is the most effective way to remove nail polish from nails, and you can easily get acetone polish remover in any nail kit like french manicure kit or dip powder starter kit. If you don’t have enough time to remove your nail polish or if you don’t want to give your hard work then acetone is the best option to remove the old color.
