The best way to remove your nails it to trim the nails, down to the free edge, then soak them.
Get a little (glass, etc.) dish that you won’t need again and pour some acetone polish remover into the bowl.
Put enough so that when you rest your fingers in it your entire nail is covered. Now, have patience......this may take a while.
Soaking for 5 minutes may be enough but usually won’t get all the residue. If you are getting impatient, take a cotton ball/pad and rub on them while they are soaking, this can speed up the process.
After that, there might be a few raggedy pieces left, and you can file that mess off.
Good Luck!

soak the fingers in pure acetone ( not polish remover) . the acrylic will turn into jelly like globs , must be scraped off with a manicure stick, . gently buff the nails afterward. You can get pure acetone at a hardware store, or craft store, or paint store. WARNING read the container, it's highly flammable, will rip off finishes from wood, paint etc... best to this outside on the porch, highly toxic and fatal if ingested. wash your hands afterward, as there will be a white residue, and perhaps dry skin as well use some hand cream when you're done. You can also soak cottonballs in acetone and stick them on the nail for awhile, it is a slow process.

You have to soak for a while. go back and forth between the nail polish remover and warm water. Depending on how well they were put on - it could take a while.
You could also go to a nail salon to have them removed. they have stronger professional stuff.

Pliers! No, I'm only kidding! Acetone, read the instructions and what ever you do, do not smoke or have any open flames. Use plenty of fresh air as the fumes can be harmful and combustible.

Take a fake nail and easilly pry the off between the fake nail and the real nail. Hurts like hell but that's what they do at the nail salon.

Try using an acrylic hammer with a claw end.
