acetone......... you can either soak them in a bowl, glass not plastic, of acetone or soak a cotton ball in acetone and place one on each nail and wrap in alum. foil, it holds the heat in...... they will soak off in about 35-45 minutes. you still have to scrape the gummy acrylic off and then buff your nails and they will probably be brittle from where they were filed down. You could go and let the nais shop soak them off for about $5-$10 and not mess up your place with the smell of acetone and the mess from trying to do it yourself............ Good luck!!

Nail polisher remover...they make a special kind to take of fake nails...soak them in the remover for about 10 minutes or until soft and then scrape them off. You could go to a nail salon and have them removed but when I did that they put my nails in nail polish remover.

oh you poor thing. I went through that same thing with my last nails.
Mine usually peeled off eventually, making my nails dry and brittle. You can get them taken off at the same place you got them done (in a salon). It costs something like $5-10, And it stops your nails from being totally ruined.

if you soak them in acetone nail polish remover for awhile it will make them softer and a little bit easier to get off. you have to use one of the other nails or a metal nail file to get underneath the nail to pry it off. it can hurt really bad tho.

Soak them in acetone for about 10 mins. then peel off.

My boyfriend actually took a little drill and basically "sanded" them off. They looked terrible for awhile, too.
