Removing Acrylic Nails?

A friend of mine was in a Weddng 2 weeks ago and everyone in the Wedding party had acrylic nails done.She now wants to remove them ,without having to go back to a nail salon that is over an hour away.


Oh and there are no beauty supply stores any where close by.


Any ideas?? As I have never had acrylics so I have no idea what to tell her.Removing Acrylic Nails?
Soak nails in regular acetone nail polish remover for about 5 minutes and they should start to loosen and melt a bit. However, if I may, the nails underneath will be VERY weak, damaged and thin from the filing done to attach the acrylic. She may just want to file them down short and let them grow off her natural nails. Any nail salon will remove them for about $5.Removing Acrylic Nails?
I have had acrylics since my Prom and my fingernails have grown since then and one has broken off. Now, they aren't looking too good and I wanted to remove them. I was thinking it was acetone that I could use, but I wasn't 100% sure. I am now.

well you can go to any store and get pure acetone and soak the nails in for a few minutes and they will come off, but it will hurt...really no easy way to take them off, it is painful





or





like to girl above said just file them down and let them come off by them selfs...
It's better to have them done at a salon, but if there isn't one close by she can take them off herself but it can seriously damage her nails.
go tolocal beauty supply store and get a bottle of pure acitone and soak the nails in a glass bowl with a towel over hands as soaking, every ten minutes pulled out and file off access acrilyc keep repeating til all acrilyc is of the nail beds, then wash hands really goo and mosturize really good
This is what I did to remove mine, but it can hurt a bit if your nails haven't lifted off by themselves very much. Cut the nails as short as possible. If you then get a nail file and push it under the acrylic nail from the back of the nail, it'll come off. It can hurt a bit if they haven't lifted much, but after two wks they should've lifted a little bit. Goodluck.
You can go to almost any drug store and but acetone. You can find it where you would find nail polish remover. Soak your nails in this and they will come off. If not you havve to wait for them to start to lift and they will fall off by themselves.
