I am a nail technician. Acetone will take it off, but is a dangerous chemical. I think you should go to a nail tech to have it removed. It is a service offered by nail techs at a minimal charge. Also, if you file your nails too much you can damage the matrix, which is where they grow. That's why some smashed fingernails never grow back normally. If you wear artificial nails again, be sure not to pry the off. The should be soaked in acetone as well to avoid damage to the natural nail. By prying them off you probably have noticed some damage. Be nice to your nails!! Have a professional help you. Good luck.

I presume you've tried the nail polish remover? try this when ur gonna sit n watch TV b4 u go to bed.
Put really warm oil in a bowl and soak your hands 10-15 minutes almond oil is good for skin and nails but any old veg cookin oil will do. Don't boil it and only as warm as ur bath would b don't scald yourself.
Once you've got rid of all the flaky bits you can use an orange stick on your cuticles and rub hand and nail cream or cocoa butter on your hands and rub into your nails before goin to bed.
When u finally get smooth nails back they'll b soft n brittle so try a nail strengthener like Mavala or Sally Hansen

Put a bowl of warm/hot water on a surface, pour acetone nail varnish remover into a smaller bowl and float it in the bowl. Place your nails in the bowl and it will help get the glue off.

use straight acetone, this will breakdown the integrity of the glue and peel off. It will take a while, u have to soak your fingers in it or u can take a cotton ball, saturate it with the acetone and set it on the nail with the excess glue.

100% Acetone. Pur 100% acetone (can get it at any drug store $1.99-$2.99) on a small bowl and dip your nail for about 15-20mins. Use an orange stick to help remove the glue.
After that look for a treatment to give streght to your nails. Trust me: your gonna need it!

Just keep soaking your nails in actetone remover, not the one you have been using on your fake nails.....Need to soak about 15 to 20 minutes!
