How to Make your own super simple Nail polish Remover



Picture this – you’re running late, trying to slip one shoe on after the other, and you suddenly catch sight of your nails and witness the horribly chipped polish that has been there since the past week and a half. Just your luck! And, guess what? You’ve run out of nail polish remover! Murphy’s Law at play here! The urgency to remove the nail polish can make you impatient and panicky. But hey, just chill!

Here are six amazing DIY homemade nail polish removers.

1. Lemon


Lemon is a natural ingredient that can be used to remove nail polish. It is also a natural ingredient used in manicures. All you have to do is rub a slice of lemon on your nails and remove the nail polish. Now, isn’t that easy?

You Will Need

  1. Lukewarm soap water
  2. A slice of lemon

How To Remove Nail Polish With Lemon

  1. Soak your fingers with nail polish in lukewarm soapy water for about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Then, use a lemon slice as an alternative to commercial nail polish remover. This will help soften the nail polish so that it comes off easily.
  3. Use a moisturizer or nail oil to keep your nails healthy after that.

2. Vinegar


Vinegar is an acidic ingredient that can break down nail polish. Vinegar is also something that can often be found in homes or your local supermarkets.

You Will Need

  • Cotton ball
  • Vinegar
  • Lemon Juice

How To Remove Nail Polish With Vinegar

  1. Soaking the nails in warm water for 10-15 minutes before removing the nail polish can help to speed up the process.
  2. Mix equal parts of lemon juice and vinegar.
  3. Stir the mixture, soak a cotton ball in it, press it onto your fingernails, and hold it for 10-20 seconds. This causes the nail enamel to dissolve and removes all the remnants of nail polish.
  4. Then use the cotton ball to wipe the polish off. It might take a little longer to remove the nail paint if there are several coats.
  5. Don’t forget to moisturize or apply nail oil afterwards.

3. Alcohol


Rubbing alcohol is a good alternative for those who don’t have lemon juice and vinegar for preparing homemade nail paint remover. It is more natural and less harsh than the chemicals found in commercial removers. Using alcohol as a nail polish remover can be beneficial for those suffering from nail infections, as alcohol has antibacterial properties.
