Types of false nails: porcelain, acrylic and gel
Although there is a wide world of possibilities when it comes to choosing how to decorate your hands, it is important that you know the different types of false nails available. Below we leave you which are the most popular.
Porcelain nails
The component from which this type of manicure is made is fiberglass which, together with another material called monomer or acrylic liquid, ends up forming a paste that is applied as a base. These nails are quite similar to acrylic nails, but they are more delicate and more expensive.
Acrylics
Acrylic nails are constructed from two materials: liquid monomer derived from plastic and solid polymer in powder form. Both materials are mixed well until a paste is formed that is applied to the natural nail and shaped with a file.
This is a type of false nail that is very resistant, which is why they are in high demand in the world of beauty. 
Gel
Gel nails are applied over a resin base and then dried under an ultraviolet lamp. The original and fun designs that characterize this manicure are created after applying the nail polish and the nail polish remover.
They are perfect for those looking for false nails that looknatural.
How to remove false nails: different methods
There are different methods that can be used to remove false nails without experiencing any pain or discomfort. Below, we detail the steps to follow for each of them so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
With acetone and aluminum foil
Cut and file the edge of the nail with a polishing file.Remove the polish. Moisten a cotton ball or makeup remover pad with acetone and place it on top of your nail.Wrap it with a piece of aluminum foil and adjust it well so that it gives off heat.Let it sit for half an hour and then remove the false nails. Using an orange stick, remove any remaining glue. Use a moisturizer to care for your nails and keep your hands hydrated after the process.
With a file
If you're going to follow this method, we recommend that you be patient because it will take longer. Also, be careful not to damage your natural nail by filing too much.
Cut down the length of your nail with nail clippers. Using a file, trim the length of the false nail as much as possible and be careful not to damage your natural nail. Remove any residue with a regular file or an orange stick. Apply a moisturizing oil or cream.
With olive oil
This method for removing your manicure consists of soaking your nails in a bowl filled with oil so that the glue softens. This way, the false nail will come off more easily.
After lowering the nails as much as possible and filing them, place them in a bowl full of olive oil for at least 15 minutes. Next, you can peel them off and use an orange stick to remove any remaining residue.
With dental floss
Another ideal method for when you don't have acetone or remover products at home is to use dental floss. Although you should be careful to avoid damaging your own nail.
Use a nail clipperas a lever on the growth area of your natural nail to slightly lift the porcelain nail. Insert the dental floss along the bottom edge and slowly slide it under the entire porcelain nail to peel it off completely. This technique is a bit aggressive and it is best to moisturize your nails well after the process.
Tips to keep in mind
It is good to always have a nail clipper on hand, as it will make it much easier to trim the length of your false nail, something essential before choosing any of these methods.
On the other hand, don't forget the Vaseline, the oil or the moisturizer to treat your hands and natural nails after the abuse that can result from exposing them to artificial materials such as acetone.
