Is there an ouchless way to remove acrylic nails?

I am pregnant, so chemicals are iffy. What ways can I remove them w/out going back to the salon and spending more money?Is there an ouchless way to remove acrylic nails?
Creative makes a product called ';Product Remover'; it is a gentle remover, soak for at least 20 minutes straight, then using a orange-wood stick scrape off product, soak again if necessary, which it will be. OPI makes a high quality acetone, process is the same.It's Ouchless but This is a messy job, disposal of product and having the mess in your home.


Or you could cut them short and file the edges, and you could let them grow out a bit, but don't use a coarse file on your nails, leave it to the professionals, you don't want to thin out your new growth of natural nail.





To soak off nails, I charge $30.00, it's about an hour and you get a manicure afterward, So ask the salon if they do this and what they charge $$$, it will be less headache for you in the end.





Getting your nails done is fine while you are pregnant, many of my clients and stylists in the salon have continued to do so while pregnant and have had 2,3,4 kids, all beautiful, healthy children.


A lot of first time pregnant women are a little too cautious worry about every thing, you are going to make yourself crazy, but remember you are not eating or drinking these products!





Nails are fine, are you enjoying them? Then why not continue...Does the salon have a ventilation system? Ask if they can use it before, during and after your appt. And if they don't, go find a place which does have a ventilation system.





Good Luck with whatever you decide to do.Is there an ouchless way to remove acrylic nails?
I agree with the first answer. They have nail remover just about anywhere you would can buy nail polish.


It comes in a little tub full of the remover. You stick your finger in it and it has a little brush on the sides, and you just move your finger up and down until it is lose enough to just pull off the rest.


It is somewhat of a pain since you can only do one nail at a time, so it is very time consuming. However, it will take all of it off w/o hurting, or damaging your nails.


As far as being pregnant, I don't think it is a problem. I think it is basically a strong nail polish remover. I don't recall hearing anything about nail polish remover causing birth defects, and would think it wouldn't be any worse than the fumes from the acrylic stuff.
If your pregnant, you should really avoid soaking your nails in the remover solution, as many warn this is linked to birth defects. Your best bet is to add the color polish your nails are to the topof the nailbed and handfill them yourself until they grow ot some more. Th process will be easier if you're patient.
cut them down and use a gritty nail file to get the majority off then a less gritty until acrylic is so thin it pops off or it can't be seen. then buff to shine
ive gotten this problem before..i went out and bought some nail remover and soaked them for 20 minutes..it worked. if ur gonna try this make sure you dnt buy some random cheap polish remover
u can buff them down
