Acrylic Nail Broke Off Real Nail

The best way is to soak it in acetone that is kept warm by an extra hot water bowl.

Acrylic nail broke off real nail. The best thing you can do is soak off on Monday and assess what is there - is the nail saveable with another overlay or will you have to cut off the free edge and redo with either a tip or sculpt. Remove any extra glue with a Q-tip or cotton ball. I went to my nail technician and she cut both the acrylic and the real nail off and then put a new fake nail over the top.

Glove your free hand and soak a cotton swab with the acetone. Taking something like nail clippers wont work as acrylic can be a bit thicker than clippers can get over. I figured since nails grow my acrylic would eventually come off like in 3 weeks.

When the acrylic has been removed the nail technician can simply cut off the broken nail if it is over the free edge. It will also work its way under the plastic to dissolve the glue. Let it breathe once a day I usually did this at night.

Remember to support the nail by holding it at the back while clipping. Focus on removing the more prominent part that is hanging from one side. I was bleeding it hurts burns.

If your natural nail isnt hurting too badly now it is okay to take the acrylic off. Acetone is just for an intact nail mattress. Disinfect and bandage it.
