how do i take off my acrillic nails?

Answer 1

You can trim off the tips, then put vaseline or some other skin protectant around your nails and on your fingers and soak in pure acetone. You'll want to get an orangewood stick to scrape the acryllic off as it dissolves. If you try to pull, nip, cut or chew them off, it will take off layers of your natural nail and make them thin & sore. Be sure to get regular manicures to keep your nails healthy & looking good. You can also do the manicure yourself, it's just not as relaxing...good luck!

Answer 2

Just buy a good buffer, nail file, some clippers, and most important: a bottle of pure acetone.

Clip your nails down to where your natural nail is, and then soak them in the acetone for a while. It will become sorta sticky, so just peel that layer off, and resume soaking. After a while (everyone is different on time depending on how thick your acrylic is) you should be able to use pointed clippers to pull the rest off, or if it's thin enough you can just file the rest away. Use the buffer to smooth out your natural nail. Good luck!

Answer 3

If you got your nails done professionally (by a licensed cosmetologist), do not try to take the nails off yourself. I would recommend going back to the place where you got them done and have them take the nails off professionally. If you did it at home by yourself, I would say soak them in warm water with a touch of nail polish remover. Let them soak for a good ten minutes - make sure the water is hot enough though. They should peel right off after doing this. If they don't, go to a specialist (a professionally licensed cosmetologist) to get the nails removed. You don't want to cause damage to your nails, nail bed, or cuticles. Good luck! Hope this answer helps!

Answer 4

My sisters are nail technicians and they told me that if you want to take it off in a hurry then take something thin but hard example credit card and find a bubble spot( somewhere it is loose) and just put it in and pop it off. Or if you have acetone then soak you fingers in acetone which will make your finger stink for until you wash your hands with soap.

Answer 5

acetone based nail polish remover will soften the glue to the point you can peel them off. Be careful not to damage your own nails. Pure acetone soak will damage your cuticles and skin, but is more effective in removing the nails quickly. I take my time and use the nail poish remover and don't have to mend my ragged, eaten cuticles and fix the skin on my hands.

Answer 6

pure acetone soak. don't use anything but a glass or ceramic bowl and soak until they're soft enough to peel off without damaging your real nail. careful of the fumes(cover with a towel or something) and moisturize alot after you're done. you can peel them off with something flat and thin, but you'll damage your nailbed.

Answer 7

I ask you to please try this. I am 99.9% sure this will work. Go to a drug store and get "Epsin (epsen-pronouncation) Salt" Then get a tupperwear conatiner/bucket and put a handfull (even know what the Epsin Salt container says) of Epsin Salt. Soak your hands for 15-20min (or more if not really soft yet) then pick the nails off. Please Try. ♥♥♥Annie♥♥♥
