u can go to the walmart or etc. and to the paint dept. look for a small metal can of pure acetone. it is used to remove paint. or you can go to a beauty supply, like a Sally's and get 100% pure acetone, in a plastic container. it is the same thing, the beauty supply ones have a bit of fragrance but it is still pretty harsh. the hardware store version is cheaper, so i usually get it. then go home and put the acetone in a glass bowl. get a towel and place the fingers of both hands into the bowl and try and cover them with the towel at all times. this helps with the fumes. be in a well vented area. it will take about 45-1 hour. they literally melt off. once that is done you need to wash your hands well and maybe use a white block buffer to smooth the nail surface a bit. then use some cuticle oil and rub into the nails and/or cream for your hands. the acetone can be very drying. pour out what was left, it can't be reused. this is exactly what they use in salons, and charge you for "removal ".

Orangewood sticks are great.
Because a lot of nail are acetone resistant, or, it takes forever to saok them enough!!
They are for sale anywhere in a beauty section, mayb 2 bucks at the most.
Use them to get under the nail and STEADILY apply increasing pressure to the real nail, to act as a WEDGE between the real and fake nail.
This will slowly lift the fake nail off the real one.
Do NOT go fast and do NOT pull!!
Just ease the stick under, and try from all around, too-- work your way around the entire nail to loosen it from all sides and then attempt to loosen the whole thing.

You can either soak them in nail polish remover or pull them off
You do this by taking anothe one of your nails and pulling it up on the edge of the nail you are about take off. I will tell you that this method does hurt and it will probably take your nail off also with not the entire nail but at least the part that grows out for the length. Good luck with that though

I am not so sure but:
You can use nail remover. get a bowl pour some nail remover and dip your nail in there. Then the glue under the nail will get wet and slowly pull . I am not so sure!
