My nails are dry and brittle, and I only have 1 day until I go back to school. I need to know what to do about my nails. I know they won't be back to normal by Wednesday, but atleast i need to know how to get this glue off. Any products under 5 dollars will be helpful. I have a lot of money,. but my dad gets mad if he finds out i spent more thatn 20 dollars a week and I've spent 7 already. Please help.

Oh and I did bite them on the sides so they would crack and then i pulled them off. I only did becuase they hurt and a few had already broke. People said that getting nails will make your nails stronger and longer. But obviousley that wasn't tru!

You did the hard part, just let it dissolve in nailpolish remover and to make them smoother and stronger cover them with clear nail polish or any other kind. I wouldn't buff them, they are too thin right now for it.

I am thinking that an Acetone nail polish remover should work.The Non Acetone isn't strong enough to take off the glue.
Also to make your nails look as good as they possible will, buy an nail buffer. They only cost a few dollars, and you 'sand down" the top layer of the nail, then use the other side to shine it up. They usually have 4 'sides'.
You could also buy a bottle of cheap clear coat.
For all of those items at a Dollar Store you're looking at around $5.
Try to stay away from the fake nails.
Grow yours out, and make yours look pretty.

Try nailpolish remover with acetone. You can find that at any drugstore. Even call your nail salon and ask them to remove the glue--they put it there, or at least ask what they recommend to get the glue off.
Once you get the glue off just paint your nails with a clear coat of nailpolish and they will look a lot better. They're really thin and brittle now so i wouldn't recommend doing much else with them.
Also remember people won't notice your nails too much so relax :)
Happy New Year!

Try to soak them in Acetone nail polish remover. A lot of nail salons file and buff down your nails which make them more brittle. I wouldnt suggest that.. Unless your just trying to take off the acrylic nail. And it will be weak for a while so buy a nail polish that strengthens your nails.

You need to get yourself some solar oil and you also need a polish called "Nail Envy" I highly recomend the next time you receive a nail service buff the nail off. get yourself a buffing block and buff the nail plate lightly and that will help with the glue that is on your nails now. You could also soak your nails in acetone this will help disolve whatever is left from your acrylic nail service. DO NOT SOAK ANYLONGER THAN 20 MIN. Hope this helps you

Remove the glue by soaking your nails in nail polish remover.
Acrylics ruin your nails. The only way to get them healthy again is by letting them grow and keeping them trimmed.

Did you get them done at the salon, or did you put them on yourself? Try some non-acetone nail polish remover. That should take the glue off - and it's cheap, so your dad won't get mad.

Um...if you took your acrylic nails off with ACETONE...the glue should be gone. Please, Please, Please do not tell me you popped/bit them off.
You need to use PURE ACETONE. Soak them until the glue dissolves. This should have happened tho if you properly took your nails off. The acrilic would have dissvoled into a gooey like substance until it completely came off the nail.
Afterwards, you should wash your hands, lotion them, then file them down to a short length. I hope this helps.
The bottle of acetone will look like nail polish remover but it should say PURE ACETONE, should be a buck and maybe some change at CVS or a DOLLAR STORE. GOOD LUCK!!

Buy acetone polish remover and let them soak for 20 min, that will loosen up the glue, that's what they soak them in in the salon.

It's simple, scrub your fingers gently to make the skin fresh, wash your hands well and repolish them! Don't bite at the grow out if it hurts (did for me >.<). You shouldn't need a special product, just time, nail polish and polish remover.
