if they are actually ACRYLIC (not gel):
get a bottle of PURE ACETONE (available at beauty supply or home depot)
get two glass bowls
fill the bottom bowl with hot water, set the second bowl inside the water bowl, pour in enough acetone to cover your first knuckle.
sit there and let them soak off for at least 30 min... they will disintegrate away.
Beware: everytime you lift your nails out of the acetone they will get harder... so LEAVE THEM IN UNTIL THEY ARE GONE!
the best idea is to go to a manicurist, have her soak them off, then give you a manicure afterwards. She can buff your nails and apply nail strenghtener...otherwise your nails will look trashed!
some manicurist have a machine that actually vibrates the acrylic off (takes half the time)

Soak your nails in pure acetone. It will take some time (about an hour or more) but the acrylic tip will soften and flake off. Try not to pry them off because you could end up with horrible nail damage.

they say to use acetone nail polish remover, but honestly it can really hurt if you do it yourself. I would suggest going to the place where you got your nails done. They may charge you like $10 but honestly its worth it cause they get all the glue off as well.

Go buy some acetone nail polish remover and soak them for a LONG time. It makes your fingers very dry and sticky but it works. You just have to be pacient. =)

you first take a bowl and fill it up with alcohol and polish remover once that is done sit your nails in the bowl for 15 minutes. Then take the nails off!
