Getting pen ink off of nails?

Question

I just got my nails filled a few days ago & today, my boss startled me & I accidently wrote on one of my nails with a balck pen ! Since I went to a salon to have it done I do not have this color polish to "fix" it. I also do not have the time to go back & ask them to (really swamped at work).

What can I use to get the ink off without ruining the polish?

Answer 1

That's a tough one.  I have done that a few times.  Try rubbing it off with a little rubbing alcohol.  Acetone will remove the polish and ruin your acrylics.  If you have a nail buffer, try buffing out the ink too.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

just use soap and warm water. that should work and not ruin your polish

Answer 3

Alcohol may work.  If not, a quick swipe with a acetone-based remover will work (just put your finger over the top of the bottle and shake to get some on the pad of your finger).  You will probably need to put a coat of top coat on that nail.  

Answer 4

Just put a alcohol or a acetone.
