Nail coating, which includes all types of nail coating, such as but not limited to nail polish, nail gel, nail dip powder, may not be easily removed and can be a topcoat, color coat, or base coat. A traditionally commonly used nail coating remover is acetone. However, acetone needs to be soaked in a cotton ball or a cotton pad or similar materials. The cotton ball needs to be placed on the nail coat which is on the nail. After placing the cotton ball soaked with acetone on the nail coating, the fingertip of the nail needs to be wrapped by aluminum foil for a waiting duration. After the waiting duration, a tool is required to scrape off the loosen nail coating, which will greatly damage the nail. Also, if the nail coating is a topcoat on a color coat instead of merely a color coat, the topcoat needs to be buffed off by a buffer before the application of acetone on the color coat.
