What can dissolve acrylic nails...???

i'd like to know so that i can take them off without damaging my nails... and without all of the pain...What can dissolve acrylic nails...???
Alternative method:





1) Lay down thick towels to protect surface from acetone.





2) Soak cotton pads or gauze in acetone %26amp; place over nail beds. Protect skin w/ petroleum jelly.





3) Cover w/ towel %26amp; allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.





4) Remove towel %26amp; remove softened acrylic by scraping lightly %26amp; filing. Avoid chipping or prying it off. Repeat as needed.





5) Be sure to do this in a well ventilated area. Allow the acetone to evaporate before disposing of the cotton pads.





Best thing to do is to go to a salon %26amp; have them removed.

Acetone nail polish remover breaks down acyrlic nails, it does take a bit of time though.





First, cut the fake nails as short as possible. Then soak your fingers in an acetone nail polish remover for 5 minutes or so.





Take a cuticle stick or something and start prying them off from a corner. If it doesn't come off easily DO NOT force it, this is very painful and hurts and will do a lot of damage to the nail. Just remove as much as you can, then continue to soak and pry till they are all off.





When you are done, your nails will look like crap, possibly green underneatht the nail surface, definately not looking healthy by any means, so you need to start the CPR asap!





First, scrub them with a nail brush to get rid of all residue. Then you very gently want to start cleaning up the nail surface by buffing them oh so gently, because they will most likely be very soft, if not totally damaged, depending on if you got green goo growing on em (fungus) or if you went to a profesional, who probably used the right stuff. So buff them as well as you can without hurting yourself. You probably want to trim your natural nails as well because all this stuff has to grow out again, and it doesn't matter if you have inch long nails if they are soft like rubber cause they will bend and get damaged. So cut them as close as you can to the fingertip end.





Push back your cuticles as usual, and then wash your hands and nails again with the brush. You will now want to put on some cuticle oil, I like ';solar oil'; myself, but some recovery post acrylic kits have oil already in the pack (see below).





I've done fake nails many times, and the best post nails solution was a 3 pack repair kit by a company called ';Jessica'; I think...it consisted of a clear nail polish looking thing that was called ';restoration'; or something, it was much much thicker than normal nail polish, a topcoat that will strengthen them and since they are soft, help keep em from breaking or splitting right away, and the oil for your cuticles. I highly recommend getting a ';post nails repair kit';, it will cost about $7 (from walgreens) but it will get your nails looking decent MUCH faster, and allow them to heal.





you can now apply color if you want, and then top it off with regular topcoat.
go to a beauty supply store and buy some 100% acetone.





Soak them long enough that you dont need to PRY them off. You can really damage your nail beds if you try to force rip or peal them off.





I did this before and it really HURT.
they sell over the counter stuff for acrylics. Just do what the bottle says to get them to loosen a bit and then file the rest of them off.
acetone (nail polish remover)


keep it soaked in there until the nails feel really soft and it's easy to peel off
acitone (sp) nail polish remover. Dip your nails in a bowl of it for about ten minutes then they will be easy to pop off.!!! good luck!!
nail polish remover acetone works best. Regardless, your nails will be ruined, they will need to grow new healthy nails out.
Pure accetone. You kind find it in drug stores and at Wal Mart by the poilish removers.
Acetone nail polish remover will work but it will take a long time! Also, if you go to a Walgreens or someplace like that, they tend to carry acrylic nail remover kits and stuff.
You can buy commercial acrylic nail remover from a beauty supply store. Acetone nail polish may work as well.
