Choosing your favorite color or a suitable color for the occasion, then coloring your nails with it, manicures and pedicures have evolved from that.
From Gel, to Shellec (combination of regular nail polish and gel), there are 3-Dimensional designs nail art too!

Nail art (usually Gel - to keep nail designs long-lasting & chip-free):

However, to keep such extravagant designs on while having them chip-free & long-lasting, also meant that taking these layers of colors and designs off later, would require some work. Strong chemicals, at higher concentrations, would be needed.
For example, Shellac Nail Polish which application requires several layers and the use of an UV-Lamp for drying of each layer (process same as Gel Nail Polish), it's removal is also not like the removal of normal nail polish. For removing Shellac, nails have to be wrapped tightly with a wrap that has been saturated with Pure Acetone, for 10 minutes. The acetone will make it's way through each layer, to properly remove every layer applied on the nail. (Science North,2012)
However, leaving pure acetone on the skin for 10 minutes will cause skin damage!

 An alternative provided in the market today, is Non-Acetone nail polish removers, which is marketed as a safer option and what most parents get for their kids. Non-Acetone nail polish removers can contain Ethyl Acetate, which is also an organic compound, but removes nail colors less efficiently. Repeated rubbing of nail surface will be needed to have a clean nail surface, compare to a single swipe with a cotton ball soaked in Acetone. Thus, using Non-Acetone nail polish removers will remove the nail layers and dehydrate the area as well, with the longer period of time it has to spend on our tissue surface.
This blog will look at the difference in properties of Acetone and Ethyl Acetate, and Methods of Identification of each Compound and it's  Quantitative Analysis.
