How do I get Acrylic Nails off?

It wasn't my idea to get them in the first place but a friend paid for it so I got it done. I have a baby and Ive scratched him one too many times. (By Accident of Course!) Please tell me there is a quick pain free to get these things off ASAP!How do I get Acrylic Nails off?
You can soak them in acetone for a long time, maybe 20-30 minutes or so and then just try and rub off the acrylic. You can also put acetone on cotton pads and put one on each nail and then wrap each nail in plastic wrap or foil and leave it on for about 20 minutes. That can be a quicker process since the acetone is more concentrated on each nail. Just be patient, it will come off eventually.





And make sure to put plenty of lotion on your fingers afterwards because your fingertips will be extremely dry from the acetone.





If they are relatively new, then ripping them off or chewing them off will rip apart your natural nail and be painful. After soaking in acetone you can use a fake nail to lift up the acrylic and nail part off of your natural nail but you still don't want to just rip because you will be destroying your natural nails.How do I get Acrylic Nails off?
well coming from nail tech im very happy to hear that you want to get that acrylic off of your nails!!!they're sooo bad for you!!


1)get acetone at any beauty supply store make sure it says nail polish remover with acetone!!


2)put the acetone in a small bowl


3)put HOT water in a bigger bowl make sure the smaller bowl will fit in the bigger bowl!!


4)put the smaller bowl in the bigger so that the acetone will stay warm let them soke for a bit then the acrylic will start to dissolve and then you can just take off the residue!!keep repeating(soke and take off acrylic)until it is completely off!!


good luck !!!=]
fill up a bowl or some sort of container with nail polish remover any kind i suggest non acetone since you have a baby and the smell might not be good for him/her but if your nails are put on with acrylic powder or stuff like that youll need acetone rmover just open up a few windows it should be ok but definitly dont do it near your baby soak your nails in that for a little bit im not sure how long but while your nails are in every once in a while wiggle the nails front to back (while in the remover so it can get under the nails and dissolve the glue) it might hurt to move them a bit because the glue is tough but your a mom im sure youve been though much worse:) lol unless you adopted or something also if they used acrylic paste make sure you have a towel,rag or something to wipe away the acrylic goo/paste well anyways if that doesnt work go to the place were you had them done and they will remove them for you most likley free of charge





p.s. make sure you wash and put lotion on your hands when your done and i very highly suggest you coat your finger tips not the nail with potrolium jelly/vasoline to protect your hands from the acetone its harsh stuff:) i hope evrything works out and you get those nails off fast:) good luck:) be careful
I ripped mine off with my teeth and it only took about ten minutes, but it wasn;t completely pain free. You've had a kid so you should be able to handle the pain. Just grab one edge with you teeth and pull until you feel it coming off and then don't stop pulling because shortly after that the acrylic nail will just come off. You should wait atleast 3-4 weeks before getting them off because the longer you wait the less pain.
You can go to a salon and get them removed with a solution - but the cheapest way is to bite them off... don't chew on them; just gently try and lift the edges up with your teeth or a credit card. Using a credit card or driver's license is probably less painful if you try sliding it under the edges until it pops off. It will seem somewhat painful at first, but after you do it, it's a relief.
wait for them to start lifting on the sides, then get a fork, or something that you can fit underneath and pop them off. that's the quickest way i've found.

you can soak them in nailpolish remover, but make sure it has acetone in it!!!!
Depnding on how much of the overlay powder you have on, you can soak them off with pure acetone.
Soak them in Pure Acetone for 10-15 minutes, Then take a Orange wood stick, and push the softened nail off.
Soak your fingernail in pure acetone you can get it at Wal*marts about $1.97
There are kits you can buy at Target that you soak your hands in and they will peel off ( with a little pull from you) Or you can just pull them off...it really doesn't hurt!! I've done it
you have to buy acitone and soak your fingers for about a half hour or 45 minutes this is the only way to not cause any damge to your nails and with no pain
