Don鈥檛 ever try clipping the old acrylic nails. It can be quite painful and can cause damage. The best way is to use acetone and cuticle oil.





Here鈥檚 how it works


路Apply Vaseline on fingers and cuticles





路Take a bowl of acetone to soak your hands in it for a while. It鈥?better to use warm acetone than that at room temperature since it works faster on the nails. You can warm it by putting the acetone bowl in another bowl of hot water. Do not ever heat the acetone in a microwave or on the gas stove. Acetone is a highly inflammable chemical and can be quite hazardous.





路Cover the acetone bowl with a clean towel to avoid evaporation


路Keep the fingers in acetone for at least 15 minutes if it is warm and for about 30 minutes if it is at room temperature. Remember, the longer you keep it, the better since the acrylic will wear off easily and faster.


路Once the water becomes gummy, (which is the acrylic melting off), you can remove the rest of it by wiping it off with the towel dipped in acetone. Do not try to remove the acrylic before it is ready to peel off else it will begin to harden again and you will have to undergo the entire process again.

Did you try the 100% Acetone nail polish?


Thats how u get them off, by using acetone, and yes they have to soak. Why are u taking them off so soon??
ask the ppl at the salon u went to.. they would probably help
go to the salon and have them removed. they will look and feel a lot better. only cost about $5 dollars
fill a large bowl with hot water. set a smaller bowl of acetone inside the large bowl. this will gently warm the acetone. cover your fingers in petroleum jelly (to protect them from the acetone). put your hands in the small bowl of acetone and drape a towel over the large bowl. this will hold the heat in. every ten minutes try to rub off the softened layer of acrylic nail. eventually the entire nail will loosen leaving behind your natural nail. acetone is very harsh though so don't expect your nails to be super healthy. it works though. i've done it before.
I normally get gel nails but im assuming the technique is the same- im not sure why soaking them does not work





id suggest going back to the salon and paying 10 bucks to get them removed but they are going to do it the same way you are trying.. they soak them then get them off
i tried soaking them but that didn't help, so i used a hair clip (beret i think that is spelled right) and slid it underneath the nail and slowly worked it off. it was painful but i tried everything
