Removing acrylic nails in pregnancy

[~kellie~]

I've had enough of my acrylics and want them off!

What is the easiest way to get them off when pregnant? I want to avoid the acetone soak if possible?

Acetone is the only way, unfortunately!
Unless you want to literally rip them off...

[~kellie~]

is acetone safe in pregnany though?

anyone?

i dont know the answer to if acetone is safe in pregnancy but i would think if it wasnt it would be quite well known please dont quote me on that. acetone is in most nail polish removers.

acetone is the only way sweet i been a nail tech for many years and im sorry to say it this is the only way i know. I would NOT rip or pick them off you may wreck your nail bed or your matrix. I would let it grow out cutting it or soak them off.

I would *think* that the only time acetone would be a problem is if you have your nostrill glued to the top of a bottle of it all day and sniffing it in XD Or any prolonged exposure to it.
I don't think as a one off it would cause you or bubs any harm BUT, if you are worried ask your Dr before you do it
