According to Romah, there is a slight difference. “Acrylics need a longer time to soak in acetone than gel polish,” she says.

Tools You’ll Need to Remove Acrylic Nails:

• nail clippers
• a nail file with two grits (100/80 grit, if possible)
• a nail buffer
• acetone (not just regular polish remover)
• an orangewood stick or metal pusher
• cotton balls
• foil or nail polish remover clips
• a small bowl
