How to remove super glue from nails with acetone

Acetone, a chemical commonly found in nail polish remover and some household cleaning products, is also very effective for removing super glue from nails and skin.Here’s how to use it.

  1. Apply the acetone. Use a cotton bud or small piece of cloth soaked in acetone, and press it against the glued nail or skin.
  2. Gently scrape away the glue. If it doesn’t come away, re-apply the acetone and wait.
  3. Wash your hands with soap and water. Acetone dries out skin, so you may want to use a moisturising hand lotion too.
