As a nail artist, I've encountered this issue quite a few times, and I understand how frustrating it can be when nail polish remover just won't take off your French manicure. There are a few reasons why this might be happening, and I'll share some tips on how to deal with it.
Firstly, it's important to note that not all nail polish removers are created equal. Some are more effective than others, and the type of nail polish remover you're using could be the reason why it's not working as expected. If you're using a non-acetone nail polish remover, you might find that it's not as effective at removing your French manicure. Non-acetone removers are generally gentler on your nails, but they might not be strong enough to remove certain types of polish, especially if you have multiple layers or a gel-based polish. In this case, I'd recommend trying an acetone-based nail polish remover, which is more powerful and should be able to remove your French manicure more easily.
Another reason why your nail polish remover might not be working is that you're not giving it enough time to break down the polish. When removing a French manicure, or any type of nail polish, it's essential to soak a cotton ball or pad in the remover and then press it onto your nail for a few seconds before wiping it off. This allows the remover to penetrate the layers of polish and makes it easier to remove. If you're just quickly swiping the remover over your nails, it might not be enough to get rid of your French manicure.
If you've tried both of these tips and your nail polish remover still isn't taking off your French manicure, it's possible that you have a gel or acrylic-based manicure. These types of manicures are more durable and long-lasting, but they also require a different removal process. For gel-based manicures, you'll need to use a gel nail polish remover or soak your nails in acetone for an extended period, usually around 10-15 minutes. For acrylic nails, you'll need to visit a professional nail technician to have them safely removed.
In summary, if your nail polish remover isn't taking off your French manicure, try using an acetone-based remover, give it more time to work, and make sure you're using the right type of remover for your specific manicure. With a little patience and the right technique, you should be able to remove your French manicure without any issues. Happy nail care!
