Artificial nail product remover contains:

• A. Acetone
• B. Water
• C. Ethyl acetate
• D. Isopropyl alcohol

Answer: (A)

Artificial nail products like acrylics and hard gels are polymer-based materials that need a strong solvent to break down the resin bonds. Acetone is the most effective solvent for these polymers, so it softens and dissolves the layers, making removal possible. Water can’t dissolve these polymers, so it’s ineffective. Ethyl acetate can remove some polishes but is usually less effective on cured acrylics/gels than acetone. Isopropyl alcohol is not strong enough to dissolve these polymers and is better for cleaning than removal. So acetone-based remover is the best choice for removing artificial nail products.
