Select an acetone-free nail polish remover. Acetone nail polish removers tend to remove polish quicker. However, they also contain harsh chemicals that can wear down nails. You should opt for an acetone free polish remover, especially if you do your nails frequently. 
Remove any previous nail polish. To start, you'll need to remove any previous polish. If you do not have old polish on your nails, you can skip this step. You should not soak you nails in remover, as this can be harsh on your nails.

Moisturize your cuticles. You should moisturize your cuticles before applying any polish. This can help your cuticles retain moisture, keeping your nails healthy.

Soak your hands for two minutes. Take your bowl of warm water filled with shower gel. Place the tips of your fingers in the bowl. Allow them to soak for two minutes.
