I was told by my nail salon to use the non acetone polish removers. The acetone loosens the glue. My favorite remover comes in a jar with a built in sponge, you just dip each nail and rub against the sponge and it comes off quickly and not messy. But if you want to treat yourself, go to the salon and let them repolish them for you!

I always use polish remover. I don't like painting over because they don't look as nice. I feel that the remover does weaken the nails a little bit. I always use Sally Hansens "Hard as Nails " polish before painting a color on them. Makes nails stronger and less likely to break.

Nail polish remover will cause the tips to fall off faster. If you want to change the nail polish, go to the place you had them done and let them do it for you. If you paint over the polish on them it probably will not look that good

go buy a non acetone nail polish remover, it is made for acrylic nails and tips, to safely remove nail polish with out harming the nail job. It costs about the same as regular polish and should be found in the same section as the regular kind at most walmarts, or drug stores

Most nail polish remover doesn't even take polish off. You should just paint over them for the hassle, but can buy the nail removal stuff.

Remove the existing nail polish. It will be easier to paint a new coat and it will come out smoother. For nail polish remover to weaken nails it has to be a really strong remover. So I think your good.

The acetone does weaken the nail and make them fall off. You can buy Non-Acetone nail polish remover. It should clearly say on the bottle 'non-acetone for artificial nails". They sell it at walgreens, cvs, and basically any other store that sells nail supplies.

If you just want to change the polish, the remover is fine. That's what they use at the salon. It would only weaken them if you were soaking the tips in it.
