Hi there, the best way to remove your acrylic nails is to have them removed professionally. They will charge


you, but they should include a mini manicure and polish in the service which helps you adjust to not having


hard acrylic on them.





If you cannot afford to have them removed by a professional, then you will need 100% acetone. Take two


bowls, one bowl smaller than the other. In the larger bowl put hot water in (not boiling and do not put your


fingers directly into it!) and set the other smaller bowl inside. In the smaller bowl, put your acetone in with a


few drops of nail oil and soak your nails for about 15 minutes. Cover your hands with something like a towel


or flannel because the vapours do not smell nice!





After the 15 minutes, take your hands out and remove the softened acrylic with a tool. If you do not have a


proper tool, you can use an orange stick covered in a lint free pad. Place your nails in again for another


10 - 15 minutes and most of the acrylic should have come off. Repeat if necessary. If you find there is still a


little bit left on your nails, you can file GENTLY with a 240 grit file. Once you have done, slather nail oil


over them and rub in, keep applying the nail oil for at least a few days after removal, it is good to get into


the habit of applying nail oil even when you do not have acrylics on as it nourishes the nails.





Please whatever you do DO NOT ';pop them off by sticking a thin nail file or other nail tool under them and


wiggling it around!'; You WILL damage your natural nail.





Acrylics will not ruin your nails. It's all down to the application and removal procedures. When performed


properly, you should not have weak, uneven and flimsy nails when you take them off (again depending on how they were applied). If you have had acrylics, even for a short period of time, it will take a few days to adjust to the fact you are back to your natural nails as acrylic is obviously a lot tougher than your own.How do you remove acrylic nails without visiting a salon?
get a bowl with water as warm as you can stand it( not burning hot either,ok) you will need acetone. in another smaller bowl fill it with acetone half way only. place the small bowl in the bowl that has the warm water and your finger must be dipped in the acetone for 10-15 minutes. make sure that when you do this use a towel to place over you hands while your fingers are soaking in the solution. beleive me you do't want to smell the awful fumes. i'm sure you won't be able to do this alone. get a friends to help you out. you will have to keep checking your nails every 5 minutes and scrape as much as you can everytime you check them. and repeat the process until you get it all off. huh! this does the trick for me. Or just go to the nail salon and save you all that trouble. they usually do not charge much just to take them off. i'm not an expert and i'm sure that there is better ways to do this. good luck and have fun.
The safest way to do it would be to buy a bottle of acetone, this melts the plastic and should remove the acrylic very easily ,soak ur nails in it for a few moments then use a cotton bud to scrape over it, it is exactly what they would do in a salon.
Hi, I usually pick mine off with a pair of finger nail clippers, but they have this stuff you can buy at like WalMart and its with the nail polish remover and its specifically for taking off acrylic nails. Hope this helps.
soak them in acetone nail polish remover,


especially designed for removing fake nails.


dont pick them, it hurts.


it takes a while to soak them off though.


an hour or so.
soak your nails in acetone. super cold and takes awhile. generally helps if you trim the acrylic down first. even after soaking some picking and trimming will still be necessary.





good luck!
Soak 'em in acetone. You can get it at Sally's.
