How do I get acrylic nails off?

Step1


Find a good work area where you can sit down and be comfortable. A kitchen table works perfectly for this. Be sure to cover the surface of your table with a plastic garbage bags and a thick layer of newspaper to soak up spills and prevent damage to your table鈥檚 surface.


Step2


Get all your supplies ready at hand. You don鈥檛 want to be hunting for them mid nail removal. Have them all spread out in front of you on the table.


Step3


Using a pair of nail clippers, cut the acrylic nails down as short as possible to make the removal easier.


Step4


Fill a glass bowl with nail polish remover (the type with acetone in it). This will be used to soak your nails in and dissolve the nail glue which attached your acrylic nails to your natural ones.


Step5


Before dunking your nails apply a coating of petroleum jelly to the skin surrounding your nails. This will help prevent the skin from drying out while soaking in the polish remover. Just be sure you don鈥檛 get any on the nail or it will block the polish remover from loosening the glue.


Step6


Dip your fingers into the bowl of nail polish remover and continue to soak them for 15-20 minutes.


Step7


Remove your hands and try to gently peel the acrylic nails off. If you are met with resistance and any or all of the acrylic nails do not easily peel off, submerge your fingers in the polish remover again and soak for another five minutes. Never force a nail to come off if it鈥檚 not ready.


Step8


After re-soaking you should be able to remove any stubborn acrylic nails and will now be left with only your natural nails.


Step9


Thoroughly was your hands in order to remove any polish remover residue and the petroleum jelly.


Step10


If any of the nail glue remains on your nails, simply buff this off with a nail buffer. Be gentle and use a light touch to avoid damaging your natural nails.


Step11


Apply a moisturizing hand cream to your hands and massage in well. This will help replace any lost moisture from the acetone polish removerHow do I get acrylic nails off?
You can buy acetone at any beauty supply store.. Cut the nails down. Soak your nails in a bowl of acetone, and gently scrape the nails off. (they turn kind of mushy). After you have soaked them off, I would take a fine file and smooth out the top layer of your nail bed. Put a little bit of oil on your nails to give them comfort, as this really is a harsh treatment. If you pick or bite them off, you are taking layers of your nail with them. Your nails will become very weak this way.
The nail polish remover that you are using may not have acetone in it. The best way to remove them is to go back to where you got them done. If you must do them yourself, try using nail polish remover with acetone or get a bottle of acetone from the Beauty Supply store.





Do not peel them off as this causes extensive damage to the nails and nail beds. Soak your fingers in the acetone and use an orange wood stick to assist with lifting the nail off.

Good luck!



Polish remover or water will not remove them.





Get pure acetone and pour some in a glass bowl. Soak the nails for about 20 minutes. Using an orangewood stick scrape off the loosened acrylic. Soak and scrape until it's all off.





You can only do one hand at a time.





Don't bite or pry them off! That does so much damage to your natural nails.





If the nails have a gel overlay you will have to break that seal. Use a nail file for that otherwise the acetone will not budge that product on your nails.
Acetone doesn't work you have to pull them off..


I am sure that the salon told you that you can not take them off you have to wait.


I am also sure that they told you that they can not take them off either





My daughters had theirs done and the salon told them they had to come off on their own .They also told them that they the salon could not take them off..


Tried the acetone did not work
Soak them for a little while, then file them down. Then soak them again, then file them again. Repeat process until nails are gone...a real pain in the you know what, but it'll work. Good luck.
Haha this is funny.








Ok I always take my acrylic nails of by biting them sideways so they crack down the middle then you can pull them off.
bite and suck until they come off them file the top of your nail until all the glue is gone then paint them a cool color because after filing the top they'll be a little white!
I have taken them off with nail clippers it does hurt a little. Best way go to a salon and have them do it.
acetone finger nail polish remover
Thats the only way or go back to where you got them put on and they can remove them for like $5.
Didnt you read the packet?


Sometimes hot soapy water works
soak them in pure acetone... dont get the cheap kind though or it will take forever.
when they DO come off..

If you got them at a nail place then you have to go back for them to take it off...thats wat my sister had to do =]
