How do you remove acrylic nails?

I've tried soaking my fingers in acetone nail polish, but it isn't working..How do you remove acrylic nails?
JUST PULL IT OFF IT WONT HURT!!How do you remove acrylic nails?
was going to say acetone,but that's didn't work for you.i don't know
yeah that don't work..there are two ways i knwo of..go to a salon they will remove for about $5 or pry them off....i have some on now that need to come off i am going to let them break first hurts less lol
Super glue remover
soak the fingers in pure acetone ( not polish remover) . the acrylic will turn into jelly like globs , must be scraped off with a manicure stick, . gently buff the nails afterward. You can get pure acetone at a hardware store, or craft store, or paint store. WARNING read the container, it's highly flammable, will rip off finishes from wood, paint etc... best to this outside on the porch, highly toxic and fatal if ingested. wash your hands afterward, as there will be a white residue, and perhaps dry skin as well use some hand cream when you're done. You can also soak cottonballs in acetone and stick them on the nail for awhile, it is a slow process.
Try using an acrylic hammer with a claw end.
use pure acetone, not nail polish remover.
Go buy the nail remover found at places like Longs Drugs
Take a fake nail and easilly pry the off between the fake nail and the real nail. Hurts like hell but that's what they do at the nail salon.
The best way to remove your nails it to trim the nails, down to the free edge, then soak them.





Get a little (glass, etc.) dish that you won鈥檛 need again and pour some acetone polish remover into the bowl.





Put enough so that when you rest your fingers in it your entire nail is covered. Now, have patience......this may take a while.





Soaking for 5 minutes may be enough but usually won鈥檛 get all the residue. If you are getting impatient, take a cotton ball/pad and rub on them while they are soaking, this can speed up the process.





After that, there might be a few raggedy pieces left, and you can file that mess off.





Good Luck!
You have to soak for a while. go back and forth between the nail polish remover and warm water. Depending on how well they were put on - it could take a while.





You could also go to a nail salon to have them removed. they have stronger professional stuff.
get straight acetone from the hardware store it eats any plastic or acrylic
Pliers! No, I'm only kidding! Acetone, read the instructions and what ever you do, do not smoke or have any open flames. Use plenty of fresh air as the fumes can be harmful and combustible.
