What can I use to make a good natural homeopathic non-toxic nail polish remover?
Question by DeafEskie, aka, LeAnn C: What can I use to make a good natural homeopathic non-toxic nail polish remover?
It’s a bad nail job—botched my polishing on almost all nails. Grrr. Looks like my bottle of polish remover is MIA. I cannot utilize “paint thinner” or other such toxic items. I have mild COPD, a skin condition that would NOT take kindly to using “strange” products, plus hypersensitivity to fumes due to Fibromyalgia. Anybody has ANY ideas, I would greatly appreciate it–I need this off within a couple hours because I have appointments all day. **ARGH**!! By the way– am OUT of alcohol, I **think**. Sighs. Ideas anybody??? What about lemon juice??? Vinegar was a no go. Help!

If you have clear nail polish, swipe a thick coat of that over a nail, then wipe it off with a cotton bud or tissue. It’s not perfect, but it will remove most of it. Nail polish is a sort of enamel, and it won’t come off with things like alcohol and vinegar, lemon juice, or other things of the sort. Use nail polish to dissolve it and wipe it off as best you can until you can get the non-acetone polish remover.
