ACETONE! Go to your nearest beauty supply store and ask for it! You will have to sit down for a while and let them soak in it, but it works. If you can't find acetone, try a nail polish remover that has it in it. It will take a little longer in the soaking process, but it works! Also, when you go to the beauty supply store, buy some orangewood sticks. They aren't expensive. Most places I have seen sell them 100 count for like a dollar or so. Use those to take the nail off. If you have any more questions, e-mail me at Autumn_Anne@yahoo.com . Good Luck!

Clip the tips (length) down as far as you need. Get some pure acetone from any store that sells regular polish remover. Take some aluminum foil cut into squares, and some cotton balls.
Wet the cotton ball with acetone, lay it on the nail and cover with the foil, as tight as possible. Repeat all 10 nails or one hand at a time. Do not peek or open the foil for at least 20 minutes, then one at a time, remove the foils and with a wood pusher - orange wood stick- scrape the acrylic off.. it should come right off.. you can repeat if some traces are left. If you peek, the acrylic will start to harden immediately, so it's best to be patient :)
When you get it all off make sure you give your self a healthy dose of some good hand cream as the acetone is very drying to the surrounding skin.
Hope this helps ~

Take a large glass bowl and pour nail pollish remover inside it. Get about 6 marbles and stick in the bowl. Soak your nails for 30 minutes while twirling the marbles. Start working the nails and then soak again for 30 minutes. After the 4th time around they should come off. This is how my manicurist takes my nails off.

placed them in acetone nail polish remover and it is going to eat them away. It does take a lengthy time period although. or you are able to flow to the position the position you get carry of them placed on. do not pull them off although. you are able to damage ur actual nails undesirable that way.

Ouch, stop picking before you damage your real nails and have them removed professionally.

sometimes i pick them off when im bored, it doesnt hurt depending on how to do it.
You can probably go to the nail salon and ask them to take them off for you, im sure they would.
