Nail Polish Remover

More than likely it is acetone they are using. It works wonders for removing nail polish AND will even remove acrylic nails if you soak them in it! If you have fake nails I do not suggest trying to use it since it weakens them and makes them fall off- for me anyhow! I only use the acetone on my toes since that is always a pain to remove and more difficult to contort my body to use the elbow grease to remove it :)
Good luck and blessings to you!

I just buy the cheapy stuff at walmart or walgreens, but I find that using a cotton ball or round works fine if you hold the cotton on the nail for a couple of seconds before moving to a wiping motion. I usually only need to us one or two rounds or squares for both hands...

I am pretty sure it is pure acetone. They also use it to soak off fake nails.

100% Acetone. That is all. Get it anywhere.

I buy the OPI brand at the salon that does my nails. I have them order the big bottle as it's much more ecomical. If you can't find a salon near you that carries it, you might be able to find it online. The stuff works GREAT!

Use acrylic polish remover. Salons put the base coat then 2 color coats then a finish coat. That's why the polish is always so prfect. Acrylic remover takes it right off. It doesn't matter that your nails are real or not. It works on all nails.

I use the good old cheap-o Cutex with a saturated jumbo cotton ball. It might depend on if your nails are real or fake? I don't use any fake nail products, so the bonding of the polish to the surface of my nail could be different than how polish bonds to acrylics, etc.?

I think they use acetone. Not nail polish remover but acetone.

You can purchase the same type of nail polish remover from Sally's. It's pure acetone.

Hi,I am a license nail tech.The N.P. remover they use is mostly bought from the License Beautry supplies store. You need a licence to get in there and buy. You can try going to Sally's and buying one with ACID TONE in it. If you came to me, I would sell you one. I sell all my products I use to my clinets. Good luck!

Thanks-Nail girl, Jen

Many of the nail shops use pure acetone which is in most nail polish removers. You can purchase acetone at beauty supply stores or at Sally's.

Im a nail tech and have been for 17 years. If you have acrylic nails on, DO NOT use remover with acetone. It will damage the nails. That is whats used to soak off acrylic nails. Use a remover that is non-acetone, soak a cotton ball and then hold on your nail for a minute until the polish starts to come off when you rub it. I dont know what they use in those salons but i have had trouble getting it off when people come to me after going there. If its air brushed, it takes a while and a lot of rubbing to get it off. If not, just use the cotton ball like i described above. If you can get cotton pads or gauze pads, that will help also. Feel free to email me with any questions.

Sounds like they use what I use.. Acetone. You can buy it at Walgreens.. I use it because I like to use glitters to hold the colors on my nails.. and THAT STUFF is a BEAR to remove.. the Acetone works best. Find it right by all the other polish removers.. also.. I'm told it can be harsh to your nails.. you may want to condition them a bit before you re-polish.

I don't have a solution for you, but I do have the exact same problem! I'll be very interested in learning about something that works well....

I buy mine at Sally Beauty Supply. It's the remover with acetone and works great. The link below is what I use and you can order it online if you don't have a store near you.

Salons use nail polish remover with more acetone in it, if not pure acetone which works instantly. I also used to have the same problem and I found pure actone nail polish remover and it works just like in the salon. I found a bottle at Wal-Mart for $1.

Hi G I don't know of any brands but it should be someone in the salon who speak good english or look on the internet about nail polish removers.

I used to be a manicurist and found that acetone removers work much faster than non acetone. Unless you are using artificial nails the acetone polish remover is rarely on your nails long enough to dry them out and anyway you can replace the moisture in your nails with almost any kind of oil. I actually found that petroleum type oils are actually the best (have you ever heard of a mechanic complaining of not being able to grow his nails?). Petroleum jelly, mineral oil, baby oil, olive oil it all works. so go ahead and use acetone remover just remember too oil your nails afterwards. by the way most nail salons purchase their supplies at a beauty supply house and some do sell to the public.

I use pure acetone instead of non-acetone....very inexpensive at Wal-Mart. The purce acetone gets it off easily and right away.

I do not know the answer to your question but I use the , more textured, fabric softener sheets after they have softened my clothes in the dryer. Using these instead of the softer cotton balls, works great at quickly removing my nail polish...good luck to another mom!

I use either Cutex or the Walgreens brand depending on what there is. I buy acetone free since it is horrible on nails, but I know that the one with acetone removes faster. I daughter got nail polish for Chirstmas and it seems like you need blaster to get it off. The last time I tried just soaking the cotton ball and letting it sit for a few seconds on the nail. It worked. The polish was a bit easier to get off.
