Nail Polish Remover

Step one. Gather your equipment. You'd obviously need nail polish remover, I like mine acetone-free. It is purely psychological because as long as you're not consuming acetone, it won't do much harm. You nail polish is actually killing you more than your remover. Now that you've gotten your remover, get some cotton balls. They have to be BALLS. Not buds, not tissues, BALLS. Go out and buy a packet if you don't have any. They are so cheap and will last you forever. I only need 1 ball to remove both of my hands.

Now grab your ball. They're so fluffy. Unravel it into a strip. It should come apart easily as the ball itself is produced by ravelling a strip like a snail shell. Split your strip down the middle vertically into 2 strips now tear them into little pieces that are nail-sized. No need to be neat since this is all going to go into the rubbish bin anyway. Keep tearing until you have a lot. Now you have the cotton pieces ready. Get your nail polish remover and pour it into the lid and fill it up Now take one of those cotton pieces (let's call it CP) and dip it into the remover. Don't dunk it in. Just dip in the edge because the remover will travel up the CP. Too much remover on the CP will dribble like crazy when you're pressing the CP onto your nail. It could travel up your hand all the way to your elbow. Press the wet CP onto your nail gently. It should be completely wet and cover your entire nail. Do the same for all the other fingers. Leave them on your nails for 1-2 minutes, give or take. That's the time where the remover is doing its job. This is similar to soaking your nails in remover but a lot less harsh on your skin. You nails will not absorb the remover. Like I said before, your nail polish would've killed your nails more than the remover. Next, grab a new piece of CP and wipe off the wet CP from your nail while pressing down with some force. Put some muscle into it! Do it from your nail bed to your nail tip. This way, your nails will not be damaged. If you do it correctly, almost everything (if not everything) should come right off your nails. In the end, you'd have beautifully clean nails.
