Acquarella is a non-toxic, chemical-free nail polish with a water-based formula that hydrates nails, prevents chipping, and promotes healthy growth. It is safe for sensitive or allergy-prone users and does not have the strong odour of conventional nail polishes. The recommended way to remove Acquarella nail polish is with the Acquarella Remover, a plant-based and soy-based product that works differently from strong solvents. This remover breaks the polymer cross-linking of the nail polish film. It can be used to remove both Acquarella and conventional nail polishes.

What You'll Learn
Use Acquarella Remover
Acquarella Remover is a plant-based and soy-based remover that works differently from strong solvents to remove Acquarella and conventional nail products. It breaks the polymer cross-linking of the nail polish film. Here are some tips for using the Acquarella Remover:
First, use cotton rounds/pads only, not balls or rope. Pre-apply the remover to all nails with the round/pad and allow it to soak in for at least a minute, rubbing occasionally. You can also pre-apply it in the shower or bath for greater efficacy.
With the remover already working, use the pad to remove most of the nail polish, alternating nails occasionally. Do not rub all the polish off one nail at a time. When most of the nail polish is off, use an orange stick to apply focused pressure to stubborn polish while under running water. For toes, do this at the end of a bath or shower. The focused pressure with water present helps the film absorb, expand, and deteriorate for easier removal.
After a bath or shower, remove the remaining polish with a pad (with some Acquarella Remover, not soaking) and apply direct and concentrated pressure around the cuticles and edges. Always rinse hands and feet after use to remove Acquarella Remover residue. Rinse with warm, clean water only—you may hear a squeaking sound when rubbing.
Acquarella Remover can also be used to remove the Acquarella Conditioner before applying the nail polish. It is designed to take oils and emollients off the nail plate for better adhesion of any Acquarella nail product.

With the remover already working, use the pad to remove most of the nail polish, alternating nails occasionally. Do not rub all the polish off one nail at a time.

Remove nail polish with pads
Acquarella nail polish is a water-based, chemical-free formula that is gentle on nails. To remove Acquarella nail polish effectively, follow these steps using cotton pads:
Firstly, wash your hands and nails with soap and warm water to ensure they are clean. Then, buff your nails to create a smooth surface. This helps remove any debris and prepares the nails for the removal process. It is important to note that you should not scrub too hard, as this can damage your nails.
Next, use cotton pads or rounds to apply the Acquarella Nail Polish Remover to your nails. Ensure you do not use cotton balls or rope, as these can be less effective. Pre-apply the remover to all your nails, allowing it to soak in for at least a minute. You can also pre-apply the remover before a bath or shower for greater effectiveness. The remover breaks down the polymer cross-linking of the nail polish, making it easier to remove.
After the remover has been applied and given time to work, use the cotton pad to remove the majority of the nail polish. Alternate nails to give each application time to work. Do not try to remove all the polish from one nail at once, as this may require more force.
Once most of the nail polish is removed, use an orange stick from the Buffer Kit to apply focused pressure to any stubborn areas of polish. Run your hands or feet under warm water while doing this to assist with removal. The water helps the remaining film absorb, expand, and deteriorate, making it easier to remove.
Finally, rinse your hands and feet with warm, clean water to remove any remaining Acquarella Remover residue. You may need to rinse thoroughly to ensure all the remover is gone. Your nails are now ready for a new application of nail polish or conditioner.

Remove stubborn polish with an orange stick
Acquarella nail polish is a water-based, chemical-free formula designed to prevent chipping and promote healthy nail growth. It is removed differently from conventional nail polishes. While removing Acquarella nail polish, it is recommended to not scrub vigorously. Instead, use cotton rounds/pads to pre-apply the Acquarella Remover to all nails and let it soak for at least a minute, rubbing occasionally. Then, use the pad to remove most of the nail polish, alternating nails occasionally.
Once most of the nail polish is removed, use an orange stick to focus on the stubborn remnants. An orange stick is a manicure tool with a pointed end and a flat, angled end. It is usually made of smooth wood and is used for cleaning and shaping nails, as well as pushing back cuticles. To remove stubborn Acquarella nail polish, use the orange stick to apply direct and concentrated pressure around the cuticles and edges of the nails. This focused pressure, especially when applied under running water, helps the remaining nail polish film absorb, expand, and deteriorate, making it easier to remove.
For your toes, you can do this at the end of a bath or shower, as the warm water softens the nail polish structure, making it easier to remove. Always rinse your hands and feet with warm water after the process to remove any residue from the remover.

Rinse hands and nails
Rinsing your hands and nails is an important step in the process of removing Acquarella nail polish. The company specifically instructs users to always rinse their hands and feet with warm, clean water after using the Acquarella Remover to eliminate any remaining residue. This step is crucial because the remover contains a surfactant that can hinder the adhesion of the nail polish if not thoroughly rinsed off.
When rinsing your hands and nails, use warm water, as this temperature is recommended for optimal results. You can use any source of warm water, such as the sink or a basin. Ensure that the water is clean and free from any soaps or other substances that could interfere with the nail polish application. It is important to note that you should only rinse your hands and nails after using the Acquarella Remover and not before.
While rinsing, pay close attention to your nails and rub them gently. You may hear a squeaking sound, which is an indication that your nails are "squeaky clean." This squeaking is caused by the interaction between the water and the residue of the Acquarella Remover. It signals that your nails are ready for the next step in the process.
After rinsing, thoroughly dry your hands and nails. It is important to ensure that your nails are completely dry before proceeding with any further steps, such as reapplying nail polish or applying hand cream. Remember to also dry your hands, as any residual water around the cuticles can affect the application of the nail polish.
It is worth mentioning that rinsing your hands and nails is a crucial step not only for removing Acquarella nail polish but also for preparing your nails for a fresh application. The rinsing process ensures that your nails are free from any substances that could interfere with the adhesion and longevity of the nail polish. Therefore, take your time during the rinsing process to ensure optimal results.
