how do you get off acyrilic nails done at a professional salon?

Question

time to take them offfff!

Answer 1

Usually just by soaking them in warm water does the trick, but if it doesn't, use nailpolish remover with acetone or just pure acetone - soak 10 cotton balls in it, and place one on each fingernail, and wrap tightly with foil. Keep on for about 20-30 minutes. Remove one at a time and scrape off nail tip and any residue with orange stick. Buff out any rough spots and put on lots of sesame oil in your cuticles and nailbeds. Keep moisturized. I am doing this tonight after cutting down my acrylics. Wore them for at least 10 years, and every 6 months or so, I take them off for a breather. Tired of them completely now, there aren't any really good nail places around, just cheapie places that use bad materials and do crummy jobs. Going to splurge on weekly manicures instead.

Answer 2

OK, the correct way is this: Soak your hands in a small shallow bowl acetone; found in any beauty supply store. The acrylic nails become soft after about 30 minutes or so, and you can scrape them off with an orange stick.
My way: I cut mine down with a nail clipper, then slip a thin file or another new, loose, acrylic nail between the acrylic and my own nail, and pop the acrylic nail off. It works OK most of the time this way. I can hurt a little, but only for a little while. I've even had the nail ladies take my nails off this way.
But at home, I don't have time to soak my nails off. Please be careful with the acetone. Do not have it around any open flames, candles, cigarettes, etc. Acetone is HIGHLY flammable and will burn your house down!

Answer 3

At the salon they soak them in nail polish remover then carefully cut them off. You have to be really careful though because you can tear off part of your nail doing this. You might consider just going to the salon and having them do it. It costs less than getting the full set done.

Answer 4

You can go to a salon and they will remove them. Or, you have a couple options. A friend of mine recently took hers off by soaking them in acetone based polish remover, which loosened them up. She said it took a long time. I am letting mine grow out, by keeping the nails very short and have filed down the ridge created by the last fill.

Answer 5

Go to Walmart and in the nail isle there'll be a tall bottle of acrylic nail remover. I don't remember the name but that's whre to find it. It's only about $4. You have to soak your nails in that stuff and it takes awhile. If you rip em off your nails will look crappy for a couple months. Don't do that! I've been through it.

Answer 6

Use acetone nail polish remover. But here is a trick to keep you mobile...soak a cotton swab for each finger in the remover and then wrap each of your fingers with foil. 45 minutes, and it's a wrap (depending on how much remover you put on the swabs).

Answer 7

acetone nail polish remover should do it. Soak them for 15-20 minutes and they should come off easily. Moisturize your nails after taking them off as acetone can dry the nail.

Answer 8

Go out and buy acetone nail polish removed and soak them in it. The acetone melts the nails off. Or I do believe they have nail remover as well that you can buy, but your best bet is acetone nail polish remover, i did this and it worked.

Answer 9

You can go and buy nail polish remover and soak them in that. Most of the time that works.

Answer 10

u can soak ur fingertips in nail polish remover but it has to be the kind with acetone in it...non-acetone will not work...the acetone dissolves/melts the nails right off, or u can rip them off but that hurts
