How can I get acrylic nails off at home?

They are breaking off and i dont want to pay the 20 dollars to get them filled or taken off.How can I get acrylic nails off at home?
nail polish remover will NOT work...... you need PURE ACETONE, you wil need to soak for about an hour with every 20 minutes or so removing your nails and rubbing them with a paper towel to get the lose stuff off. Acetone will evaporate pretty quick, so you need to keep a towel over the bowls.How can I get acrylic nails off at home?
TRY soaking them in nail polish remover! i did that with my fake nails! im not sure if it will work with acrylic nails though but you could always try! mine just kind of peeled off! they went all soft:)
Get acetone at Sally's beauty supply and put in bowl soak you will see them get mushy takes a little while but it works I did it. It is less then $20.00 dollars and you can do it at home so soak and relax before you know it no more nails fake anyway.
Oh, you sound like me! Go to walmart and get a product called ';tips be gone'; It is a liquid you soak your nails in and they just peel right off. There are directions on the lable, whatever you do, don't bite them off, like I did, My nails looked so horrible after I did this that I wanted to wear gloves! Hope this works for you. Merry Christmas.
Fill a deep bowl with nail polish remover that DOES contain acetone and soak them until they're soft and you can gently peel them off. Don't pick or force them as you will destroy yoru natural nail bed and rip layers of your natural nail away with the acrylic.
I am a Nail Tech. and just to give you some help to take them off safely so you wont ruin your natural nail underneath, you should use pure acetone. Pour it in a small bowl, and put that bowl in a bigger bowl which is filled with HOT water. This warms the acetone a lil bit and speeds up the removal process. Once you feel the ';gooey'; stuff at the bottom of the bowl take your hand out and get someone or use your other hand to scrap the melted acrylic off(use a orange wood stick or popsicle stick) this process takes a lil longer than just ripping them off but leaves you with your healthy natural nail in the end! You may cover the bowl with your hand in it with a towel so you wont get high from the smell! Hope you have fun
