Nail-varnish remover

Nail varnish remover dissolves the chemicals in nail varnish, breaking them down so varnish can be wiped off the finger. Acetone nail-varnish remover is the stronger of the two types and a better choice for especially resistant nail varnish. If you wear any kind of artificial nails that can be melted by acetone, non-acetone varnish remover is the only choice.

To use nail-varnish remover, moisten some cotton wool with remover and wipe over each finger, taking care not to saturate nails and cuticles in the solution. In fact, if you can avoid getting varnish remover on your cuticle and skin, you'll be better off for it, since both types of remover are drying and irritating.

The acetone found in some nail-varnish removers is the same substance used to make plastics, fibers, drugs, and some chemicals. It is also used to dissolve other substances, and is present in car exhaust fumes, tobacco smoke, and landfill sites.

Make sure that your nails are completely dry before you use an emery board - filing wet nails can cause tears and splits.
