If you’re like most people, you probably think of acrylic nails as a pretty easy and fun way to add some color to your nails. But before you can start painting your nails with acrylic, you need to clean them. To clean acrylic nails, first wet them. Then use a mild soap and water to clean the entire nail. Be sure to get all of the dirt and debris off of the nail before cleaning it. Finally, dry your nails completely by using a dryer sheet or air-drying them.
