Buy ACETONE nail polish remover, plenty of it. Pour it in a bowl and soak them. Once they are soft, use an orange stick to push them off. Acetone disintegrates the acrylic. :)


That is what they will do in the store.


Sweetie, they are going to look baaaaad underneath. Just be prepared for that. Get you some nice cuticle oil for them or a great hand and nail cream and put a protective top coat on. Hang in there, it'll grow and you'll be glad you have short nails when you have a delicate little newborn!Getitng acrylic nails off??
hi there, i have a nail salon, and the best way to get them off, is with acetone pure, soak them, then scape them soak and scrape, it will take about 30 min. but it works, and it is better for your nails then pulling them off, hope i helped you, and good luck with the baby,
You know those tools they use at the salon? Maybe you can find one at a beauty supply store. BTW, I have the same problem right now...only I'm not pregnant, LOL. I have 3 acrylics on one hand and 4 on the other...slowly trying to work them off.
Buy some acetone (either pure or made for nail removal) from the drug store. You can buy some Sally Hansen Artificial nail remover if you prefer.





Let your nails soak for 5 mins, the fakes will start to turn gunky, scrape that layer off. Soak again and scrape. Repeat. May take up to an hour, depends on how good the acetone is. But its cheap and painless!





Good luck!
try soking them in a bowl of acitone then cut them down and just keep picking them off its a pain but youll get them off like that keep filing them two that will help to lift them
You can soak your nails in pure acetone nail polish, but im not sure if thats unhealthy for your baby. I just took mine off a few weeks ago, and they came off easy enough like that. Just soak them for a while.
I remove my own all the time. It's pretty time consuming, but it also takes a good while in the salon. There are a few tricks that work:





1. Get some acetone based nailpolish remover, pour some in a small bowl and soak the fingertips of each hand one at a time for at least 5 minutes. This will help loosen the nails so you don't do as much damage to your natural nails underneath. Some drugstores even have a special remover just for acrylic nails. It's a solvent in a jar and there is a brush inside. You insert each finger and move the nail against the brush in the solvent and that helps loosen them. They cost about 5 bucks.





2. The last time I had mine removed in a salon, and this is a New York centric way, the manicurist used an old metro card to get them off. In case you're not in NYC, the metro card is our pass that gets us onto public transportation. It's very thin and she inserted a corner of the card under the acrylic where it was growing out and it came off quiet well. I've also used a sewing pin or needle to pry them up in this manner but you could easily stick yourself this way.





3. Get one or two coarse filing blocks from the drug store or beauty supply and just file them off. This will do far less damage to your own nails than pulling them off.





Don't be shocked if your own nails continue to break and peel after you get the acrylic off. They will do this until you grow a full new set of nails and the part that was weakend by the acrylic is gone. to help strengthen your nails (and help with hair growth) get some biotin from the health food store and take one a day (ask you doctor if it's ok first).





My nails have been great since I started using it and I haven't had acrylic nails in months.
this question is asked like everyday.. go to a beauty supply store and soak them..
Go buy some acetone, it's only like $1 and be sure you are in a well ventilated area (especially since you are preggers) pour some in a glass bowl and soak your nails a bit.





Trim them down, then take a slim nail file and slide it under and they should pop right off. It's tedious and takes about an hour but it's pretty easy.





Goodluck and congrats on the baby.
Do some dishes by hand or fold some laundry - they will come off.
