Removing acrylic nails?

RachelN has it exactly right. Hope your removal goes well - my daughter got quite nauseous from the fumes, so make sure you are in a well ventilated area. The things we do for beauty, eh? I use a really great cuticle oil daily called TIPS, available on various shopping channels or from askcosmetics.com. Good luck!Removing acrylic nails?

soak them in acetone (i bought a product called tips be gone from walmart) and then they pull off easily or you can go to a nail place and they can do it
I have been told that the acetone based nail polish remover works best. But I usually just pull them off.
You are right, it does have to be acetone based polish remover. Better yet, use pure acetone. Acetone is acetone, so it doesn't matter where it came from or what its labeled for as long as its pure acetone. It helps if the acetone is warm when you use it. To do this, simply place the acetone into a small bowl, and some hot water into another, slightly larger bowl filling it only partway so that it doesn't overflow. Then place the bowl containing the acetone into the bowl of hot water, and that usually will help to warm it nicely. You don't want to microwave the acetone, or place it on the stove though because acetone is flammable. Also, place a towel under the bowl because if it spills, it can easily damage the surface of many things, such as the finish on a wooden table or other furniture.


You can clip the free edge on your nail as far as you can and then using a 150, or 180 grit nail file, take down the acrylic on the surface a bit to help speed up the process. Just don't file all the way down to your natural nail as this may damage it. The object here is to remove some of the bulk of acrylic, and nothing more. Apply some hand lotion onto your cuticle area and the surrounding skin to help protect it from acetone's drying effect. Then, soak your nails for about 20-25 minutes, and then - one finger at a time, use an orange stick and gently scrape the acrylic off of your nails. If it doesn't come off all the way at first - no problem, just soak for a few more minutes and try again. I say do one finger at a time because as soon as you remove your fingers from the acetone, the acrylic will start to harden up again.


After the acrylic has been removed, wash your hands, and then apply cuticle oil to your nails, and apply hand lotion to help replace the moisture on any skin which may have come in contact with the acetone. Your nails may be a bit soft, or thin after removal of the acrylic. This is fairly common, and the softness will go away in about a day or two. In the meantime, use a good quality cutlcie oil 2-3 times a day, every day to help moisturize your cuticles, and your nails. This is turn will help to strengthen them, and keep them healthy looking. But don't stop using it after only a few days. COntinue to use cuticle oil every day, and always use hand lotion after washing your hands, and at other times throughout the day - especially in these cooler winter months. Hand lotion not only moisturizes your skin, but it helps your nails as well.


Note: If you decide to go to a salon for removal of the acrylic, do NOT let them pry, or tear the acrylic of your nails. This WILL damage your natural nails, and it will hurt a lot too! And don't let them file, or sand them off either. They will often do this kind of stuff just to save time. This is not the proper way to do it. Soaking in acetone is the only safe way to remove acrylic nails.


Hope this helps!
No, nail polish cant remove them. But you can just buy the acetone in the store and do it your self.
You can either pull them off or soak them in nail polish remover. Or you can just go to a nail salon and they'll take them off.
acetone
You have to use acetone nail polish remover
I think ordinary nail polish can remove them! Good Luck!














Acrylic nails are designed with staying power in mind, so removal is not as easy as just pulling them off (you can do this, but it hurts a lot and damages your nails underneath even more). To remove acrylic nails, you should ideally return to the salon that applied them and have them do it. This is the safest and easiest way. If you want to do it yourself, though, follow the steps outlined below.
i just let mine grow out and pick them off....
