I tried taking off the polish with nail polish remover and none of it will come off my nails. It's like they used something that they put over fake nails. I went back there and complained and they didnt' do anything for me. They could barely understand what I was saying. Because of course all nail salon places don't speak ^$(*$&%& English. I'm very angry and feel my nails are ruined and I don't know how to get it off. They look like crap now. I think the brush they used on me had acrylic stuff on it and all that is now all over my nails. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Soaking them for 5 minutes in acetone worked. I just used a cotton ball before with nail polish remover and it didn't work. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!!! :) :)

you can soak it off with acetone, but the prep they did to make the acrylic adhere will still make your nails look crappy. after soaking-off, just file/buff and coat with clear 'til they're grown-out.

Use acetone nail polish. If there is acrylic on your nails it will take it off. It may take a few tries. Soak your nails in it for a few minutes if neccesary. Then buff your nails with one of those files that has 4 different grits on it starting with the roughest down to the softest. This should take all of the polish and any acrylic off.

Try to gently buff it off. Then put a mineral coat back on. Then use a gentle top coat to keep them safe from breaking. I wonder if they use a type of spray paint? I've had that done to me before and regular Acetone nail polish remover wouldn't get it off. I actually had to use a cotton ball and some paint thinner on them. It was horrible. I'll never go to another nail salon where I can't effectively voice my opinion because the technician can't understand me.....It unsafe for us!

Well dont use too much products or else your nails really will be ruined. i would say try a ittle bit of the nail filer and nail polish remover. some times if you paint over tha french maincure with another color and then try to take it off wiht the nail polish remover, the paint under it, in this case french maincure, usually comes off with it. other than that i would have to say it will come off eventuaally. good luck :)

If it has acrylic in it, try soaking them in nail polish remover for a few minutes. Best type is the one with acetone in it. Good luck.

use polish remover with acetone in it. There not good with real nails at those places! Ive went there before to get my nails done (real) and they did a horrible job and just constantly harassed me and told me I should get fake ones.

Go to a different nail salon (not the one u got your nails done from) and ask to get them removed. If for some reason they say something like,"no, u need fill!" be like no i don't I want them OFF. but don't let them give you a fill. If they refuse to take your nails off, go to the drugstore and purchase, "sally hanson helathy cuticles now!" (it's in a tiny orange container) and put your nails in there, then try and rip your nails off with plyers.

first try removing it again (sometimes the put multipliable coats on to make it stay on longer) or there might be a special nail polish remover that you can buy (it might be more expensive) or you could find another place (like the place wear you get your hair done) where they do speak English and are professional and have them remove it .... best of luck

Try a nail file and more remover. I'm pretty sure they used acrylic.
