Acetone nail-polish remover is harsh—it dissolves paint! That means it can dry out your nails. To help prevent this from happening, add about a half-dozen drops of castor oil to the bottle of nail-polish remover. It still will take off your unwanted nail polish but will be somewhat kinder to your nails and cuticles.
