Written by Tara

Follow these steps

  1. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to each cuticle and the surrounding skin.
  2. Cut the cotton balls or strip to the size of each nail.
  3. Soak each piece of cut cotton in acetone.
  4. Place each piece of soaked cotton on top of the nail that it was cut to fit, and wrap the nail with plastic food wrap.

While regular acetone isn’t great for you, acetone-free remover can get the job done of ridding polish from your skin. Soaking a cotton ball in non-acetone remover and applying it to the skin is the easiest way to get polish off of your skin, says Nadine Abramcyk, co-founder of nail salon Tenoverten.

Generally How do you get nail polish off your skin but not nails? White vinegar works best, but you can also use apple cider vinegar instead.
