You can remove acrylic nails two different ways. You can purchase a professional acrylic nail removal kit at your local drug store, or you can invest a dollar or two in a large bottle of nail polish remover. Make sure you buy a kind that has acetone in it, not one of the gentler nail polish removers on the market these days.
Lay out several pages of newspaper on your kitchen table to prevent spills. Keep several paper towels close by as well to wipe off nail polish, dry your hands off and put the acrylic nails on as they come off.
Clip your nails as short as possible to make the process easier. Next apply some petroleum jelly to your fingers (except the nails) to prevent your skin from drying out completely during the soaking.
Pour the entire bottle of nail polish remover in a bowl. Warm it up in the microwave to make the process faster and easier. Soak your fingernails for about 15 to 20 minutes. The acrylic nails should start to come apart from your natural nail at this point. Gently peel them back a little and soak longer if they still seem pretty attached. Repeat this process until you can easily peel the entire acrylic nail off. Don't force it, or you risk ripping your own nail out of the nail bed, which is very painful.
Wash your hands several times when you're done to get all the acetone off. Use a good hand moisturizer. The acetone dries your skin out. Your nails will look very rough from the acrylic coming off. Use a nail buffer to smooth them out. They'll start looking better after a few days.

Soak your nails in acetone, keep soaking until they get soft and then soak them again and again and again. And next time don't get the fake nails. It takes a long time to get them off and your own nails will be really soft for quite awhile. Good Luck!

Soak in a bowl of acetone, with a larger bowl of hot water for the bowl of acetone to soak in.
Or go to a salon and they will soak them off for a minimal price, and will be much quicker if they do a parrafin dip soak off.

to get the fake nails off, the easiest way is to put your fingers in rubbing alcohol. it will ruin the nails so they aren't reusable, and it may hurt if you have any cuts on your fingers, so try and cover them up if you want.
