Go back to the salon and they will soak them off. It takes awhile but if you try to peel them off you will destroy your nailbed and they will never recover. It will cost about $10 per hand. Afterwards, use tons of lotions and make sure you protect your nails with a nourishing clear coat. They will be very dry and brittle and suseptable to further damage.

OK, you already got the Acetone advice. That is the way I did it. It takes a while, don't get discouraged. Use an emery board and file on top of each nail as the acetone softens it. It will be easier to file once the acetone softens it. Just keep doing this and they will come off. Make sure you have plenty of time. Don't think it you can do it in an hour. It may take longer.
As far as I know, the "nail remover" stuff you get either uses acetone or is just a glue remover. They do not seem to work that well.
As far as going to a salon and having them do it. Well, I had one friend who did that. They used clippers and cut them off and then filed on them. It hurt a little and was hard on her nails. If they just soak them in acetone, then that is the same thing you will be doing at home. Why pay for it and spend all that time in the salon? At home you can get up and do something else if you get too tired of sitting there.

If you don't want to go back to the salon (which is best)
Just cut them down to where your own nails are and use an acetone nail polish remover to loosen them. Then you can peel, crack, chip, bite them off.
Personally, I would just cut them down and wear them that way During this time, file them as much as you can stand with a rough file from the top every night and wear a clear coat of nail polish during the day to keep them from looking ragged. After a week or so, they should be thin enough to come right off.

It'll hurt no matter what. Sorry. But, you can soak them first in remover but, that won't take away the pain completely. Those things are cemented to your real nails. It's definitely gonna hurt. Once you get one nail off use it to take the rest off. Just slide it under your fake nail. And, it'll pop right off. If you have a fake nail laying around...like a Lee press on or something you could use that.

I bought nail remover at the drug store. it comes in a little container with brushes on the inside. You soak your finger in this and rub it against the brushes. Gradually the nail loosen and comes off.

i'm 20 and began getting my nails achieved in sixth grade, i ought to assert they don't look truly really worth the money, even the acceptable nail salon ruins your nails by making use of scratching them to get the acrylic to adhere. you should attend to get them achieved, or merely bypass get your organic nails painted, even with the indisputable fact that it continues to be a severe priced habit so plan a sleepover for you and your friends to do each others nails :)

Soak your nails in acetone. It will "eat" the acrilic and they will become soft. It shouldn't hurt to then peel them off once they are soft.
