Use that same nail file to gently file off the top layer of your existing shellac. This will make the next step a little easier.
Unless you already have cotton balls, break off 10 pieces of cotton wool that are large enough to cover your nails. Then, cut off 10 rectangular pieces of foil that are large enough to wrap around your finger nails but small enough to only cover the tops of your fingers. Soak your cotton balls in acetone and place each one directly on each of the nails, and then wrap them in foil.
Filing off the top layer in the previous step will allow the acetone to penetrate your existing shellac further. If you find the use of tin foil a little bit of a hassle, you can purchase reusable caps instead. The removal kit mentioned above also has these included.

White vinegar disinfects the nail and helps to soften the cuticle bed. Apply a cuticle remover to the base of your nail, and then just insert your fingertips into the warm water for 10 minutes 5 if using vinegar.
