Now, consider removing the old polish using a cotton pad and acetic nail polish remover. However, it is recommended not to use the acetone nail polish remover more than twice a week as it can dry the skin around your nails. Be sure not to inhale the fumes from the nail polish remover as this can be toxic.

If you are looking to trim your nails, use a fingernail clipper to perform this task. An emery board is usually used to shape your nails. This can be done by holding the board at a 45 degree angle using your thumb and index finger. Start from shaping the nails of your left hand and then work your way towards the right. Be sure to take your time and try not to file down your nails too far.
