Yes, you can remove a shellac manicure with acetone remover, just soak a cotton ball in the remover and hold it onto your nail for a few min, this should help.
When you are finished, soak your nails in some warm olive oil for about 10 to 15 minutes, then give them a massage and your cuticles too.
This will help protect your fingernails from drying out because of the acetone nail polish remover.

∙ 13y agoyes it will but it needs to contain at least 60% acetone
you need to soak your nails in the acetone for around 10 minutes before the nails start to soften as soon as the nails are not submerged in the acetone the acrylic starts to set again so be quick
you should use a cotton wool pad and every few minutes after the nails has soften wipe away the acrylic that has came of and re submerge the nails in the acetone based nail polish remover will cost you anywhere between £1.00 and £4.00 and you can usually purchase it with that higher percent acetone in a beauty supply store or good chemist.
good luck and be careful if you have any cuts on your hands etc to try and cover them because the acetone will sting a lot!

Why does nail polish remover evaporate the fastest?
Because it's more volatile than whatever else you were testing. Which basically means "it evaporates the fastest", so that's not all that helpful.

Apply acetone-based nail-polish remover (ie. almost all nail polish removers) to the area.

What can you use instead of nail polish thinner to thin out nail polish?
Looking at the various material safety data sheets (MSDS) in proprietary nail polish thinner, they all seem to be proprietary formulations with varying amounts of a range of "organic chemical" solvents including: acetone; ethyl acetate; butyl acetate; methyl ethyl ketone; hexane; etc. So the best solvent would be a proprietary nail lacquer thinner. Other options include: solvent acetone; paint thinner; shellite. (I use acetone and it seems to work fine.)
