Yes, but it sucks...at the drug store you should be able to buy an acetone acrylic nail remover...if your nails are loose it works better, but if they're not...they're hard to remove...and the acetone dries the sh*t out of your fingers...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 ~

Now, you can remove the acrylic yourself, even thow it is not the best way.
Soak some cotton balls with acetone and place one over each nail then wrap each fingertip with a little bit of aluminnium foil, leave for 20 min then remove rubbing the cotton ball over the nail to scrub the melted acrylic off. If necessary repeat with clean cotton balls. If your nails are left dull use a 3 way buffer to give them shine the use plenty of lotion or cuticle oil to moisturize because the acetone is very drying for the nails and surrounding skin.

There is acrylic nail remover you can buy at a drugstore. You can find it in the nail section of the cosmetic aisle. It's a lot cheaper than the salon.

Soak them in Acetone (nail polish remover). But don't use Non-Acetone nail polish remover. It won't work. The acetone will melt the plastic. Apply acetone to cotton and put on each finger, then wrap in foil and heat (not too hot!!!) with the sun or warming mitts. This will soften them and they should peel off nice. Just be carefull and take your time. FYI...Acetone takes off band-aid marks also and the yellow stuff they put on before you have surgery.

♦ Soak tips of fingers the entire nail part in Acetone, the acrylic nails will soften up and can pretty much just peal them right off...

Acetone is supposed to work but takes forever. You can take a fresh nail tip and slide it under the nail to pop it off. This is how they do it at the salons most of the time.
I bite mine off but can't recommend that.

Yep use acetone nail polish remover, u'll have to soak them for a bit as they soften you can remove them, Be aware you'll still damage your own nail but not near as much if u just rip them off.
