In recent decades, the nail polish industry has grown rapidly, offering a variety of colors, effects, and formulations to suit everyone's tastes.

Until finally willing to remove the nail polish that has been applied to the nails, to be replaced with a new color or model. Generally, most people will use acetone to remove nail polish.
Acetone is a very effective chemical in removing nail polish because of its ability to dissolve the ingredients in the nail polish. When acetone is applied to nail polish, it works by breaking down the chemical bonds between the resins and pigments and the other solvents in the nail polish. This process reduces the adhesive strength of the nail polish to the nail surface, allowing the polish to be lifted and removed more easily.
Acetone is volatile, meaning it evaporates quickly after application, which helps speed up the drying and removal process. However, because it is so strong, acetone can dry out nails and the skin around them if used too often.
