Acetone nail polish remover and a good file and buffer. It's gonna take awhile, so don't be surprised.
Soak them, then use the nail file to slough off the melted layers, repeat until the nail comes off. Be very careful and don't pull them off, let them melt. You can really rip and tear the very fragile nail and nailbed underneath.
This take patience and a few hours, so heads up :D

I always file mine down to a natural length and file the thick part down so it's almost down to nail, but not quite and just keep them trimmed back and filed nice until all the fake stuff grows out. If you peel them off the thin nails underneath are really sensitive and painful. Mine took almost three months to grow all the way out the last time I did this

Soak your nails in acetone polish remover to loosen the acrylic, then file and clip, file and clip. Or you can save time by going back to the salon and having them removed. After, be sure to get regular manicures to ensure healthy nail growth.

Sometimes soaking them in hot water is the only thing necessary. If that doesn't work just soak them in nail polish remover. They should pop off or disintegrate. Good Luckâ¥

Use some finger nail polish remover that has acetone or just use some pure acetone and soak your nails in and they will come off.

Well you can go to the nail salon and they will take them off. They will soak them in a chemical called acetone and pull them off. Acetone is basically nail polish romover but stronger so it wont be as easy as at the salon but soak them in nail polish romover. But when I take my off I just crack them down the center and pull them off but it can hurt pretty bad. Good luck!

Soak off your acrylics with acetone nail polish remover. I had mine removed about a month ago, it was very long and involved.

if they are already starting to pop off at the bottom then just rip them off but if not then soak them in finger nail polish remover
