Semi-permanent nail polish can be removed in different ways by a professional nail polish remover. To remove it at home, the ideal way is to file the surface of the nail polish to leave it matte, soak a thin cotton ball in pure acetone, put it so that it covers the whole nail plate and wrap it with aluminium foil. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes and when you take it out of the acetone you will see that it has lifted. With an orange stick or a metal pusher you remove it. If there is any residue, you can repeat the process.
