Lemon Nail Paint Remover

We all would have been buying or at least seen lemon flavoured nail paint removers; but have you ever wondered why that flavour? Yes, lemon itself is a natural nail paint remover. Lemon being one of the most used natural ingredients in cosmetics has Vitamin C that exfoliates the dirt and junk from the skin. This is the reason it is the main ingredient in treatments like manicures and pedicures.

Ingredients :
A bowl (big enough to dip your hand properly)
Half bowl lukewarm water (40-50 ml)
2-3 drops liquid soap
A slice of lemon

Let's see how you can use lemon to remove the nail paint:
In a bowl filled with lukewarm water, mix liquid soap.
Dip your hand in this and keep it soaked for 5-7 minutes.
Now, with the help of the lemon slice, start rubbing it nicely. Rub the lemon slice well all over your nails, as it will soften the nail paint and help in getting it out easily off your nails.
This might take a bit more time than usual due to the unavailability of acetone but it will be effective and healthy for your nails.

The Hand Sanitizer Nail Paint Remover

Ingredients :
Few drops of hand sanitizer
3-4 cotton balls

How to use hand sanitizer as a nail paint remover:
Grab a bottle of hand sanitizer and pour a few drops of it on your nails.
With the help of the cotton balls, rub it evenly all over your nails for a few minutes.
It will loosen the nail paint and help it come out easily.
It will also take some more time than usual, but will help you out in an emergency situation when you do not have any other option.
Wash your hands after the process, as the nail paint chunks that have been removed off your nails could be stuck on the hands.
