I used to always bite them off, but I don't want to do that and damage my nail, plus it hurts sometimes, and there is always a piece you end up missing lol. I want to know a way to safe them off
and about how long does it take? (i got them put on 08/03)How do I take off acrylic nails?
I used to wear acrylic nails - but stopped because of the damage they caused.
If you go to a drugstore - or wherever your bought your nails - they should have an acrylic nail remover.
The second option is just to let them pop off on there own over timeHow do I take off acrylic nails?
soak them in nail polish remover.
put it in a bowl, and put ur fingers together in the bowl
Soak them in nail polish remover, then as they start to peel, file the junk off. Keep doing until it's all off. It may take a bit of time. Best of luck.

How do i take my acrylic nails off?
Ok girl question! how do i take my acrylic nails off without having to go to the nail salon or hurting myself trying to pull them off?How do i take my acrylic nails off?
I really would like to know as well..i just had mine for about 2 weeks and one broke so i decided to take them all off. I used clippers and it took such a long time and it kinda hurt. I would like to know too
:)How do i take my acrylic nails off?
Here's how I do it in my salon. I use pure acetone that you can buy at Wal-Mart or or a hardware store. Pour some in a glass bowl and grab a nail file. While watching TV for a 1/2 hour - 45 min., soak your nails during the show and file the gooey acrylic off during commercials.
Hi,
Here's my advice. Use finger nail remover with acetone. It will take a while to get them off, but it will take them off and it's not really expensive.
The acetone will ';eat'; the glue and they should come off with little trouble.
Hope that helps.
soak in nail polish remover until they've soften up and then file them down until they pop off on their own.
Just soak it in acetone or nail polish remover for awhile and it just comes off.
good luck. :)
i just take a long hot bath or soak them in really hot water for a little bit and they come of with out much pain

How can I make my acrylic nails last for a while?
I just got my nails done last week for a special event, and I was wondering if there is a way I can make them last a little while before I have to get them filled in?How can I make my acrylic nails last for a while?
when i had those kind of nails i used to have a buffing sort of bar and after about 10 days i would take off the polish and buff them at the fill line. i would repolish them myself. the manicure would last about about 10 more days. after that they really needed to be filled at the three week mark.How can I make my acrylic nails last for a while?
I have used a thin line of super-glue to fill in the ridge, then polish over the nail with matching shade, you can purchase the same color from the nail salon if you find a shade you're pleased with, and will be using again.
gel nails are much better!! Acrylic break too easy. I would advise you to be extremely careful.
just be kinda careful, i get my nails done all the time. just dont tap them on the table or put too much prussure on dem.or bite dem...idk why but my friend does that and hers break all da time!
just take care with what u do...u can apply a clear topcoat every couple days or so, to keep them shiny %26amp; help keep them from breaking...makeup school moisturizer cream

Is it ok to have acrylic nails on for a year?
I have had on a set of acrylic nails for almost a year and I dont know of I should soak them off for awhile or not. I go into get them filled every two weeks and I keep them nice and clean, I just dont know if I should take them off for awhile.Is it ok to have acrylic nails on for a year?
well i always have mine done straight for 6 months then take them off for 2 weeks just to let mi real nail harden back up then get them back onIs it ok to have acrylic nails on for a year?
How do you even get them to last that long!?
And no, you shouldn't leave them on for so long. They can ruin your natural nails. Try keeping them on for shorter periods of time and give your real nails a break.
Take them off.
Acrylic nails can ruin your natural nails. Get them off professionally though cause you don't wanna mess them up completely
i dont think thats a good idea, but if the people filling them in etc havent said anything about them, keep them on if you want
thats kinda eww.
No, it's not okay!!

What is the exact difference between solar and acrylic nails?
1) The difference between acrylic/solar nails are virtually nonexistant to the naked eye, but solar nails do protect your nail beds from the harmful UV rays that can damage your nails and turn your tips yellow after a week or two.
2) Average price will vary according to the level of establishment you go to to get them done. Don't expect to pay much over fifty, though, or less than twenty-five, for a decent fill.
3) You should get them re-done every two weeks--that is how long the bonding is intended to last, past that, they can start to lift, and if they lift and germs or moisture get under the nails, you could get a very painful and expensive (not to mention unattractive) fungus that can take months to get rid of.
4) Don't avoid doing anything--you'll get used to the extra length, but unless they are ultra-long, there's nothing you shouldn't be able to do.
5) Remember, the longer they get, the less dramatic the colors should be. And while square tips look fantastic when short, as they get longer, square can look fake, and round looks more natural when longer.What is the exact difference between solar and acrylic nails?
Solar nails are made of powder %26amp; do not yellow %26amp; acrylic are more of a plastic %26amp; they yellow after a while. Solar nails are thicker than acrylic nails. I prefer solar nails. They are prettier %26amp; easier to up keep %26amp; dont break as easily. I hope this helps :)

Do acrylic nails damage your real nails when you have them taken off?
and if so, why?
surely they would just grow out, no harm done?Do acrylic nails damage your real nails when you have them taken off?
Yes they do get damaged from the ';drilling'; (filing with a dremel tool) they do and from the acrylic they put on; even if they soak your nails in acetone to get the acrylics off, it still causes your natural nails to peel off in some areas. When you get the acrylics off, your natural nails are very thin and very soft but eventually that will grow out and strengthen. You also may have white spots on your nails from the peeling/flaking from them being taken off but again, this will grow out eventually.
I have never had problems myself (I get new sets of acrylics every 6 months faithfully and give my natural nails a day or two to ';recover'; between new sets) however I have seen some women who's nails and nail beds have been irreversibly damaged by acrylics; their nails are lumpy or just really banded looking but they did not take good care of their nails while they had the fake ones on.Do acrylic nails damage your real nails when you have them taken off?
Once the nails have been taken off, your actual ends of your real nail where the acrylics have been glued look rank and are soft, it takes a while for them to grow out and look natural again,
It really depends on who was doing your nails. If you have been going to a budget nail salon that uses inferior products and a drill to file your nails then yes, your nails will be damaged when you take them off. The majority of these type of salons do not have the training to use the drill in the correct manner. The drill should NEVER be used on the natural nail. Most times these techs over drill the natural nail and you will end up with what we call ';rings of fire.'; Those red lines are where they almost drilled through your nail bed. Inferior nail products also are damaging to your nails.
I have been doing nails since 1991. When I remove a set of nails they might be a bit weaker than normal, but otherwise the nails are in good condition. I use quality products and I do not drill on the natural nail. I am careful about how much filing I do on the nail.
Your best bet is to go to a reputable nail tech and have the nails soaked off. That would be the least damaging.
don't get fake nails. when you take them off they make your real nails flimsy and thin and they even hurt.
When you want to remove your nails you have to use this product, its by Sally Hansen (you can buy it at any drugstore) and its a big jar of acetone remover made especially for removing acrylic nails! It comes with a rough sponge and you soak your fingertips and rub them on the sponge until your fake nails have dissolved right before your eyes! Its such a great product and your natural nails will come out smooth and normal :)
i heard that if you don't use them for a long period of time, your regular nails will eventually grow in - as strong as they were before.
but if you use the acrylic nails for a long period of time - +1 year...then you could start to do damage

What is the difference between solar nails and acrylic nails i want to make the right choice!!!?
I know you didn't ask about gel nails, but im just suggesting them cause their so great!!
acrylic nails....
there are many options for acrylics.. french, american, or regular tips.. French and american can only be clear.. regular can be used as any color that you can apply on top.. after the nail tech apply the acrylic powder, file, drill, and buff them they would just put clear top coat on top of French and american tips... but for the regular tips.. they would put the color that you would want they they add topcoat....
Solar nails....
solar nails are often use a different kind of acrylic powder called solar powder.. these solar powder jars are sold in one jar.. if you asked for solar nails and the nail tech brought out a jar without the letter solar on top then it is not solar acrylic... unlike regular acrylic nails.. solar nails have nothing to do with polish.. after they apply the acrylic, file, drill, buff them they would add a buffing cream and use a solar drill and buff your nails until they turn shiny.
Gel nails..
gels and regular acrylic are often the same.. same structure and how they are applied... the only different part is when after they buff your nails.. they would NOT add oil to your nails but they would put a coat of gels on top... gel dry almost instantly with the UV curing gel ray...
if i would pick one... i would defiantly pick the french GEL nails.. i have them on right now and they look so good.. i don't have to worry about the polish chipping cause GEL nails do not chip even if you are swimming BTW i just came home from the swim GYM. hehe.. and they last much longer than the solar because solar fade overtime and it turn dull.. gels stays shiny all the time until you get your refills....
Hope this helped :)

No. Unfortunately, it would take several minutes of boiling in water to kill bacteria. Here are some things you can try instead.
Hydrogen peroxide
antibiotic ointment

I'm pretty sure you can, but not while they're on you. (They might just fall off, depending on what brand they are.) Leave them in there for about 10 or 15 minutes for the best result.

How long do you have to soak acrylic nails in acetone before they come off?
A long time. Do not pry the nails off with a cuticle stick as someone suggested! All that is going to do is damage your natural nail. Soak it for a while, then when you see it dissolving, buff your nails. then soak some more, and continue buffing. do this until all the acrylic nail has been dissolved and buffed away. Then, polish your nails with a good strengthening polish.How long do you have to soak acrylic nails in acetone before they come off?
AT LEAST a half hour. They're very annoying to remove.How long do you have to soak acrylic nails in acetone before they come off?
A long time. Plan on watching a movie while you soak. Have patience.
I found that it takes awhile- up to 15 minutes.
The method that worked best for me was to soak my hand for five or ten minutes and then use a cuticle stick to gently pry the acrylic nail off. It takes some patience.

How do you take acrylic nails off?
i know that you can get them taken off for you professionally but is there anyway to take them off yourself? i have the whole acrylic nail on, not just the tips
thanks!=]How do you take acrylic nails off?
Don't rip them off! That is so damaging!
Only pure acetone will work. Not hot water, not vinegar, not polish remover.
Pour some acetone in a glass bowl and soak the nails. You will have to do one hand at a time. Soak for about 20 minutes then without removing your nails from the acetone, use an orangewood stick or cuticle pusher to scrape off the softened product. Soak and scrape until it's all off.
If the acrylics have a gel overlay you will need to file the nail to break that seal otherwise no amount of soaking in acetone will work.
Afterwards, you can use a very fine grit buffing block to smooth out your nails.How do you take acrylic nails off?
First use finger nail clippers to trim away whatever part of the nails stick out over the end of your fingers. Then take a nail file and rub it over the tops of the acrylic nails. This helps get that topcoat off and it creates little cracks in the acrylic that makes it weak. Then soak the nails in polish remover (make sure it has acetone in it) for a long time. I usually pop in a movie and try to soak my nails as much as I can during the movie. Then use something hard like the tip of the metal nail file that comes with most fingernail clippers to push the acrylic off. Make sure you start at the cuticle because you don't want to slip and jam the the file into your finger. Once you get all the acrylic off make sure you apply generous amounts of lotion to your fingers and nails over the next couple days.
you can buy acrylic nail remover. they're in a tub and you dip your fingers in and they come off.
other wise use acetone/ acetone based polish remover.
i use a cotton bud soaked in the polish remover, and start at the edges, so the glue comes off. then it's easier to get the polish remover to go beneath the nail.
DONT try pulling them off or biting them, sometimes you have to be patient with them.
Put some nice quality nail polish remover (I like Sally Hansen Double Strength) into a small dish or bowl. Then put your fingers in it, making sure to cover the full nail. Next, rub the nails. A nails brush helps. After a little while, the false nail will become flimsy and will easily slide off. Hope that Helps!
soak in hot water or in some nail plish remorver. they should soften, then once you have ahd them in the water or remover for about 30 minutes, they should be soft enough for you to be able to peal off yourself. good luck!
I just took mine off. You're going to need to soak your nails in acetone based polish remover. The glue under the acrylic should melt and they should slip off easily.
soak your finger tips in acetone remover and they will come right off. ugh. and prepared. your real nails always look like crap when you remove fake nails. have your clippers and file ready.
You can buy remover for them at any drugstore.
The easiest way to get them off is to soak them in some acetone The glue underneath, should come off quite easy.
soak them in nail polish remover for a while or this may hurt a little but bite them so that they split down the middle and come off that way
you get a certain kind of nail polish remover (like the fist answer says)and soak you nail in it than they come right off.
try soaking them in warm/hot water. it loosens them up so its easier to pull them off.
add soda put vinegar clea
Do lots of house work!

you can buy acrylic nail remover. they're in a tub and you dip your fingers in and they come off.
other wise use acetone/ acetone based polish remover.
i use a cotton bud soaked in the polish remover, and start at the edges, so the glue comes off. then it's easier to get the polish remover to go beneath the nail.
DONT try pulling them off or biting them, sometimes you have to be patient with them.
Put some nice quality nail polish remover (I like Sally Hansen Double Strength) into a small dish or bowl. Then put your fingers in it, making sure to cover the full nail. Next, rub the nails. A nails brush helps. After a little while, the false nail will become flimsy and will easily slide off. Hope that Helps!
soak in hot water or in some nail plish remorver. they should soften, then once you have ahd them in the water or remover for about 30 minutes, they should be soft enough for you to be able to peal off yourself. good luck!
I just took mine off. You're going to need to soak your nails in acetone based polish remover. The glue under the acrylic should melt and they should slip off easily.
soak your finger tips in acetone remover and they will come right off. ugh. and prepared. your real nails always look like crap when you remove fake nails. have your clippers and file ready.
You can buy remover for them at any drugstore.
The easiest way to get them off is to soak them in some acetone The glue underneath, should come off quite easy.
soak them in nail polish remover for a while or this may hurt a little but bite them so that they split down the middle and come off that way
you get a certain kind of nail polish remover (like the fist answer says)and soak you nail in it than they come right off.
try soaking them in warm/hot water. it loosens them up so its easier to pull them off.
add soda put vinegar clea
Do lots of house work!
just rip them off.
How to take off acrylic nails?
Hi so about 1 week and a half ago I got my nails done. Like professionally, not those fake ones that you stick on with nail glue.And i'm sure you heard this a hundred times. But what is an easy way to get these things off. I mean i would perfer a painless method but if it requires some kind of pain , I'll try it. I'm desperate to get these off.Btw I don't have any Acetone so please don't suggest that.How to take off acrylic nails?
I am a nail tech 15 years and I tell you Acetone is the only safe way!! You must soak them off to save the integrity of your nails. If you pull them off, sand them off, you are only setting yourself up for big problems. It is worth the few dollars to invest in the Acetone, than to damage your nails...that would take months to grow out.
Here is the correct way. Soak in Acetone until product starts to bubble. Take an orange wood stick, lightly scrape off the bubbly surface...soak again. Repeat this until the product is all off the nails. Make sure you get a good three way buffer to remove all the ridges and smooth. I recommend you use a really good nail strengthener to get your natural nails going in the right direction. I also think it is best to keep the nails short for one full nail plate growth cycle..before letting some length grow.
Good luck, and it really is better if you do this correctly as you can cause serious problems for at least a year with your own natural nails.

How do you remove acrylic nails without hurting yourself?
I don't want to pay to have them taken off if I can do it myself.
Any suggestions?
They look like crap and a fill-in isn't going to help..
the tips are just really old.. I have had them for about a month.. I think it's time for a whole new set.. but I don't want to get them yet. I just want to take them off and let my real nails breathe..
Please helpHow do you remove acrylic nails without hurting yourself?
You can soak them like everyone else says but me, I don't have the patience for that. At my nail salon, what they do, if they are lifting from the nail, they use a metrocard (which you probably don't have if your not in the new york city area) and they stick it under the lifted part and the lift slightly and it comes right off. The metro card is the same thickness as a business card so you can use and ID or something you have thats laminated. Soaking takes too much time especially if the acrylic is thick. Good luck.How do you remove acrylic nails without hurting yourself?
Soak them in acetone based nail polish remover for like... forever. Just kidding, but you will need to soak them quite a bit. Use an orange stick (its the stick with one pointy end and one angled end) and begin lifting them and continue soaking and lifting until they come off. That way you don't damage your own nails.
Buy a nail polish remover that contains acetone, pour it in a bowl, and soak your nails. This will take 30min-2hours, but it will soften them and you can wipe them or peel them off when they are soft. Don't try to rip them off because they will damage your nails. Just let them soak and watch a movie.
usually nothing will allow them to come of with no pain at all unless you go and have them taken of.. certainly DO NOT just rip them off, because it can and will pull of your real nail with it.. not good.
try soaking them in hot water with soap to soften the glue.
then carefully start to take them off starting with the part closest to your finger.. tht way you wont rip your nail off.
good luck.. but if they arent budging, then just go back and have them take them off for you.
Soak your hands in warm water with dish liquid in it (like you are doing dishes). I'd soak for about 30 minutes. Then they will probably come off. If they don't, take an orange stick, some cotton (or cotton swabs) and use acetone fingernail polish remover on them. It should help you get them off. Just put a little acetone on the orange stick and start working your way under them slowly, or use the cotton to immerse the tips until they are loose. Good luck! :)
100% acetone for acrylic nails...put it in a bowl and soak nails in for like 15 or 20 minutes...it melts them off! kinda cool
The best way to do that with minimal to no pain is to soak your tips hot water (as hot as you can stand) with some dish soap, then when they are soft submerse them into some acetone/nail polish remover. Now this may take a time or two but it will reduce significantly the bond of the acrylics and will get rid of any glue on your nails. It's not a guarantee but when I'm in a bind it works great for me.
soak them in nail polish remover.
Go buy some plain Acetone and soak your nails in it for like an hour. The acrylic will become gummy, just kind of push it off. It is not a fast process, do it while watching a movie or something.
The taking off of the nails is not what where the damage is being done. Before the acrylic was put on your nails are ';buffed'; or drilled, this damaged your nails. By all mean, let your nails breath! Trim or file your natural nails as they grow because all that damaged nail is making it's way to the ';tips'; before long you will have your natural, heathy nails back!
soke them in hot water for like an hour and gently pull off
try running them under hot water for a while before trying to take them off.
Hey ,
I have the best advice (i hope).
1st get two small bowls
2nd place the bowls inside ziplock bags
3rd pour PURE acetone into the bowls (Onyx brand works best)
4th let them soak for about 10-20min intervals
5th make sure that you get a white block nail filer and after 20 min of soaking scrub the acrylic once in a while you wil the acrylic peel off right away. Make sure you moisturize your hands right after-from all the acetone okay! Hope this helps
Soak them in acetone. It disolves the nails. And please dont just rip it off lol. It'll remove the first layer of your nail and damages it. Just ask your local nail salon for some acetone.
nail polish remover with acetone, that what they use at the nail place. It will dry out your hands though.
or
just go to the nail place and ask then to remove them after they take em off they can make em look pretty without adding new ones
hot water always makes it easy for me to pop off acrylic nails, but if that doesnt work, acetone nail polish remover will do the trick. oh and if you do soak in acetone, coat your skin around your fingers in vaseline as your fingers will get VERY dry!!
soak them in acetone nail polish remover... but be patient-- it takes forever!
Soak your nails in pure acetone- it should only cost about $1- Soak in a bowl for about 15 minutes and ultimately your tips will melt away.
Buy a bottle of pure acetone remover. Let the nails soak. Be patient and don't rip them off because you will seriously damage your real nails. File them down and let them come off on their own. Just keep soaking.

Buff your nails weekly and file down the thin nail you do have. It takes a while and a lot of patience to get your nails to grow out again. Keep nail polish on your nails to prevent further chipping even if it is clear polish.Does anyone know the best product to use on post acrylic nails to cover up ridges and damage?
there isn't anything for u to do to take that look away but to let them breath...........u should always soak the acrylic off to avoid damaging ur nails..........i would suggest just getting a manicure and wait a month before putting anymore acrylic on ur nails
put on a slor oil or oil based product and buff the ridges and damage out
I usually file down the surface and put OPI nail envy on them every other day.

How often do i need to get fillings for my acrylic nails?
I'm thinking about getting acrylics for my nails but first i wanna know how often i need to get them filled. help please.How often do i need to get fillings for my acrylic nails?
It really depends on how fast your nails grow.
If you are good on calcium then your nails would grow quicker, so you would have to get them done an estimated 2 weeks. If you are deficient in calcium your nails grow slower and you will probably have to get them done every 3-4 weeks.
Hope I helped!
God BlessHow often do i need to get fillings for my acrylic nails?
i would say every 3-5 weeks

Does anyone know of a way to take your acrylic nails off without ruining your natural nail underneath?
My natural nails usually grow long-but since the winter weather they have been splitting on the side-well, in July I decided to get some acrylic nails, and haven't been able to afford to get them balanced. My nails underneath are long again, Is there any way I can save the length and take them off?Does anyone know of a way to take your acrylic nails off without ruining your natural nail underneath?
Soak them off in pure acetone.Does anyone know of a way to take your acrylic nails off without ruining your natural nail underneath?
Not really, I get nails and don't go get fill in, and what happens is I take them off myself but my natural nail usually comes on if I don't pull them off correctly, and also it depends on the way you pull the acrylic nail off without breaking your real nail. Good Luck! It is painful when you pull them off.

if you soak them in acetone for a long time it will work. u can go to the nail salon and have it done for about $10 but make sure you tell them you want them soaked off or they might try to rip them off and mess up your real nails.
Soak them in nail polish remover that contains acitone. The acitone will melt the fake nail without harming your natural nail. www.spaagogo.com
Soak them in acetone nailpolis. You can get it at any dollar store.
Yep... soak them in acetone nail polish remover. You'll notice the acrylic start to soften, and get kinda gooey. Then you can use a buffer to help get the acrylic off your nails.
You can use acetone but it will make your natural nails pretty weak. If you have a beauty supply store in your town, go there and ask them or go to the salon and see what they recommend, best to go to the one you had them put on at.
I would recommend that you opt for a gel overlay instead of usign acrylic. It is less harmful to your nails. I have been gettign gel now for a few years.
As far as taking off you can get them soaked off with Acetone and then use a product with vitamins to restore their strength again.
go to a nail salon and get them taken off or jus cut them and let them grow out
To take off acrylic nails, soak them in a shallow dish filled with 100% Pure acetone. You can buy it at most beauty supply stores, the best place is Sally Beauty Supply. When the nail is ';slimy'; feeling, gently buff off with a buff pad or use a new nail brush. You must repeat this process several times to disolve the nail completely. Most nail salons will aslo take the nails off for $10. Afterwork, use a nail fortifying polish clear coat by Sally Hanson (that works best).

When having acrylic nails filled the tech ground through my nail to my skin, how do I prevent infection?
The tech was grinding off the acrylic and went too deep. I am worried about infection.When having acrylic nails filled the tech ground through my nail to my skin, how do I prevent infection?
Number 1: Don't ever go to that place again!
Keep an eye on it. If it hurts AT ALL or looks a little funny, go to a doctor. Save your doctor bills. The ';Tech'; will be paying for it.
.When having acrylic nails filled the tech ground through my nail to my skin, how do I prevent infection?
i had a similiar problem...try bio-sculpture's anti fungal spray...worked for me.just not sure where you can buy it??
Neosporin. Keep a close eye on it for fungus. That can happen alot from injuries in nail salons. You never know who was in there before you and what they had.
Def dont go back there. Another thing, take off the nails ASAP. I would not put nails back on for a long time. Acrylic nails harbor infection. I would wash your hands all the time and use neosporin. I would also make a drs appt and take the bill to the nail place. They should pay. I would also keep track of when you went, who did it, when you went to the dr, how much it cost, just in case, you never know.

What do I put on my acrylic nails when they hurt?
I got my nails done earlier and they're just starting to hurt. What techniques can I use to stop them from hurting? I appreciate it. :)What do I put on my acrylic nails when they hurt?
Are all of them hurting, or just a few? It could be that the technician gave you the wrong sized tips, so now the tips are forcing your nails to form a curve. Or another possibility is that they drilled your nail too much and it burned your nail beds.
Either way, I'd get them removed asap. If they're hurting, they're not right for you. You can take tylenol for the pain, and soak them in warm water.What do I put on my acrylic nails when they hurt?
If they hurt then you shouldn't get them
It could be the glue irritating you or the pressure...either way your fingers aren't made for that crap
Mine aint either (they dont hurt, but they thin my nails out horribly)
I grow my own nails out
have them removed if they are painful.

What is the best way to take off acrylic nails without going to a nail salon?
Clip the tips (length) down as far as you need. Get some pure acetone from any store that sells regular polish remover. Take some aluminum foil cut into squares, and some cotton balls.
Wet the cotton ball with acetone, lay it on the nail and cover with the foil, as tight as possible. Repeat all 10 nails or one hand at a time. Do not peek or open the foil for at least 20 minutes, then one at a time, remove the foils and with a wood pusher - orange wood stick- scrape the acrylic off.. it should come right off.. you can repeat if some traces are left. If you peek, the acrylic will start to harden immediately, so it's best to be patient :)

By soaking your nails in 100% acetone for a few minutes.
Not just in water, that doesnt work at all!
acetone nail polish for 20 min.
dey dont come off in no damn water. soak them acetone nail polish for about 30 min.
soak them in acetone nail polish for an hour. scrape off the layers. just keep doing this until they are almost gone. you can buff or file the rest off. just make sure you put a good topcoat on your real nails.
acetone nail polish remover will work, but will take time.
If you can get by a beauty supply store, you can probably get something there that will take them off in a snap.
soak them in water and peel them off.makeup school moisturizer cream
Wet the cotton ball with acetone, lay it on the nail and cover with the foil, as tight as possible. Repeat all 10 nails or one hand at a time. Do not peek or open the foil for at least 20 minutes, then one at a time, remove the foils and with a wood pusher - orange wood stick- scrape the acrylic off.. it should come right off.. you can repeat if some traces are left. If you peek, the acrylic will start to harden immediately, so it's best to be patient :)

they always tell you to come back in two weeks, but at times when its two weeks you might not need one and at other times you might need a fill sooner than that. so really it just depends on you, like when you see that your nails have started to grow out too much and it looks as though you need a fill.How long do you wait before you get your acrylic nails filled?

Working as a hostess and having acrylic nails a bad idea?
I work as a hostess in a restaurant and really want acrylic nails. Mainly all I do is seat people and take their drink orders. Sometimes I get roped into running food. My question is would it be wise to get fake nails? Is it easy to pop them off when it comes to say...scooping ice or something mundane?Working as a hostess and having acrylic nails a bad idea?
i think you should, it'll add to your over all aperance with hosting. if you get them profesionaly done, no, they won't pop off. :P
they are simply a little fake nail guled to your real nail, and really hard stuff holding them to your nail. :P
i have had mine done for about 3 months stright, and i play softball, cheerlead, work at taco bell, they don't fall off. (:Working as a hostess and having acrylic nails a bad idea?
Rose,
Choose a short length for your acrylic nails. If you do that and regularly maintain them, they will not come off easily. When you do dishes and other water-related tasks, wear rubber gloves.
Have fun!
You should check with the policy of your employer. Some restaurants don't allow employees who handle food to wear nail polish, yet alone, get acrylics.
no i wear fake nails all the time
they do not come of that Easy if u eat them done professionally
hope i have helped

i know it might be allergic but i'm not allergic to anything else acrylic, like paint. just trying to figure it out. lol.Why would i get bubbles around the skin of my nails when i get acrylic nail but not with gel?
Are you sure it's not the glue you're allergic to instead of the acrylic? They probably use a different glue for the gel.

Because of the rate that my nails grow I have to do mine every 10 days or so.
If you want to go longer between fills, get a 100 grit file and a buffing block, remove the old polish (its best to have the color at home if you get a color on them) file them all down slightly near the cuticle to have them blend better into your nailbed, go over lightly with the buffing block to smooth any etches you made in the nail, and put new polish on.

Hi, i used to have them for over a year. they really are fun but annyoing because your nail underneath sometimes hurts. and you need to go get your nails done every 2-3 weeks, or else they will break.
:D
Yea I agree- about 3 weeks, if you do it too soon it's just a drain of money when there's no REAL problem; touchups should be done routinely every three weeks.

probably every 2-3 weeks personally thats when it becomes worth it to pay to get them touched up anyway !

What is the best, easiest, safest way to remove acrylic nails?
The safest way to remove acrylic nails is by soaking them in pure acetone. It helps to warm the acetone slightly by placing it in one small bowl, and then placing that bowl into a slightly larger one that has some medium-hot water in it. By warming the acetone, it helps speed up the removal time by about 10 minutes or so. Usually, it takes about 20-25 minutes for the acetone to soften the acrylic enough to begin to gently scrape it off with an orange stick, or simply rubbing it off with a paper towel. The acetone does tend to have a minor drying effect, so to help replace any lost moisture in your nails, and any exposed skin, apply cuticle oil, and also use a good moisturizing habd lotion afterwards. Applying hand lotion is a good thing to do everyday anyway, especially after washing your hands. Apply cuticle oil 2-3 times a day, every day. This helps keep your nails moisturized, and they become healthier as a result, not to mention that your cuticles will look and feel better too.
Never try to force the acrylic nails off by prying them off, or tearing them off with things like cuticle, or nail nippers. And don't let a nail tech do this to you either. Forcing them off WILL cause damage to your natural nails - sometimes severe damage, and it will also hurt quite a bit too.What is the best, easiest, safest way to remove acrylic nails?

Does anybody have any ideas on how to paint the underside of acrylic nails?
Ok, so there's this new thing i want to try called a christian louboutin manicure where you paint the bottom of your nails red to look like his shoes (google to find out more)...does anyone have any ideas on how i might go about this? i tried painting the bottom of the nail before i glued them all but they are all chipped so i need a better way...thanks! =)Does anybody have any ideas on how to paint the underside of acrylic nails?
I'd guess that you'd have to use an even coat of red under the nail, and then use a top coat to try to seal the color and protect it from chipping from day to day wear. I'd apply the polish after, so that nothing interferes with the adhesion of the tips to your own natural nail.Does anybody have any ideas on how to paint the underside of acrylic nails?
first you need to go to the nail salon get the tips put on properly ,when theyre read to paint your nails ask them if they could paint the underside red ,and then they will just wipe off any polish that got on your finger

Should i continue wearing fake acrylic nails all the time?
often when i do my natural nails is very thin after my nails are off
buti am a nail biter and my nails grow the most that they ever can when i have ake nails on.
HELP!!!!!!! im caught in between length and health.
which factor is more important?
we all want pretty long nails.Should i continue wearing fake acrylic nails all the time?
You're right that acrylic nails are NOT healthy. I found that my weak nails responded beautifully to quality polish. I use OPI and I paint the front as well as the back of the nail (once it grows out) and mine are now strong and long! Go natural, you'll be healthier and save some money too!Should i continue wearing fake acrylic nails all the time?
i agree with the first answer.
biotin %26amp; niacin are good supplements to take. your nails need protein to grow strong.
try some sally hansen products (also has biotin) for healthy strong nails.
my mom used to put this gross tasting stuff or really hot hot sauce on my nails so if i bit them, the taste would be in my mouth for hours so i quit biting them.
it takes like a month of not biting your nails to quit but your nails will thank you %26amp; they'll look pretty :)
No because it destroys the cuticle and your natural nails will never grow in nicely. You'll see once you begin taking care of your nails they will become long. Take some biotin supplements the are very beneficial to you nails.
Although Acrylic nails are really pretty they are extremely bad for your nails so maybe you should just get them on special occasions.
Don't wear them all the time, but when you don't wear acrylic, you can just do the plastic tips.

How do I remove my acrylic nails?
Years ago when I had them removed at the nail salon, they soaked my fingers in what I assumed was nail polish remover. After a while they started to disintegrate. When I tried this at home recently, with acetone nail polish remover, it did not work. What am I doing wrong?How do I remove my acrylic nails?
Hi there,
the best way to remove your acrylic nails is to have them removed
professionally. They will charge you, but they should include a mini manicure and polish in the service which helps you adjust to not having hard acrylic on them.
If you cannot afford to have them removed by a professional, then you will need:
100% acetone (non-acetone is only good for polish removal)
Take two bowls, one bowl smaller than the other.
In the larger bowl put hot water in (not boiling and do not put your fingers directly into it!) and set the
other smaller bowl inside.
In the smaller bowl, put your acetone in with a few drops
of nail oil, file the top of the nail first with a 100 grit file and soak your nails for about 15 minutes.
Cover your hands with something like a towel or flannel because the
vapours do not smell nice!
After the 15 minutes, take your hands out and remove the softened acrylic with a metal precision pushie tool.
If you do not have a proper tool, you can use an orange stick covered in a lint free pad.
Place your nails in again for another 10 - 15 minutes and most of the acrylic should have come off.
Repeat if necessary. If you find there is still a little bit left on your nails,
you can file GENTLY with a 240 grit file. Once you have done, slather nail oil over them and rub in, keep applying the nail oil for at least a few days after removal.
It is good to get into the habit of applying nail oil even when you do not have acrylics on as it nourishes the nails.
Please whatever you do DO NOT ';pop them off by sticking a thin nail file or other nail tool under them and wiggling it around!'; You WILL damage your natural nail, and please do not bite them off or pick at them either.
Acrylics will not ruin your nails. It's all down to the application and removal procedures. When performed properly, you should not have weak, uneven and flimsy nails when you take them off (again depending on how they were applied).
If you have had acrylics, even for a short period of time, it will take a few days to adjust to the fact you are back to your natural nails as acrylic is obviously a lot tougher than your own.How do I remove my acrylic nails?
you don't need to have them soaked off. if you can get a nail file for it then you can file them off.
Soak them in nail polish remover that has ACETONE in it. Make sure it has that one ingredient in it or it won't do any good. Even with that, they don't completely come off. It just softens them and you will need to pull them off. I just bite mine off...
Soak them in PURE Acetone. None with fingernail polish in it. Let your nails soak for 10-20 minutes. The acetone will melt the acrylic off.
Well when I take mine off, I leave them on a lil past the time u shud get them filled and I use acetone and with nail clippers pop them off. But the acetone shud work
Try non-acetone.
boots make an acrylic nail remover, its a little tub that has some stuff in it (not sure what) and a scrubber round the edge of the tub (not a good description), it works well and i think is about 4 pounds but you can reuse it, deffo worth it!
hope this helps

What do men think about acrylic nails?
When I first get them done, I feel all clean, I get complemented, and then I feel weird about plastic fake crap glued to my hands.
I know most girls love a nice manicure, but whats the guys point of view?
Girls can answer too.What do men think about acrylic nails?
Ultimately, what do YOU like? If a girl/woman likes them, then by all means, wear them, I can't see why not. If you don't like them, I see no reason why you should wear them. Personally, I love how they look, and think they're extremely attractive and beautiful, but if someone doesn't like them, then that's their choice, nothing wrong with that. What annoys me is when people burn girls and women for wearing them because THEY think they look bad. Since it's not a bad thing for females to wear them, why do many people look down on them? If someone's interest is wholesome, I think the least others can do is respect it.What do men think about acrylic nails?
My boyfriend hates them, he thinks they're a waste of money. I love them though.
I know most girls love a nice manicure, but whats the guys point of view?
Girls can answer too.What do men think about acrylic nails?

What's the best product to help post-acrylic nails grow healthy and strong?
Use a cuticle balm or nail oil to moisturize your nails and protect them from water when you wash your hands. (ex. Solar Oil, OPI Avoplex) Vit E oil, jojoba oil, Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Vaseline or plain Chapstick will work too.
Avoid products w/ formaldehyde or toluene, they are very hard on nails.
Some women swear by taking pre-natal vitamins.What's the best product to help post-acrylic nails grow healthy and strong?
hi, just use sally hanson hard as nails, its old school i know, but its cheap and works. Also, you have to wait it out. The will grow out to normal in about 2 months.

Does it take time to get used to acrylic nails?
I've just had acrylic nails put on today, it's abit awkward picking up things, even texting. I can't even undo my buttons.Does it take time to get used to acrylic nails?
they sound to be too long - ask for them to be trimmed (tell them you want an 'active' length and shaped as a normal nail -- rounded versus square)
they'll be a bit different for a day or two - but after a while you will get used to them. A couple of pointers, you didn't ask but after years of using feel you should know:
--when cooking - especially dealing with chicken,etc...either wear disposable gloves or after each use clean under each nail well
--washing dishes, etc wear gloves or you'll be running to the nail person to repair.
--don't pull off the nails if you want to take them off. either soak fingers in pure acetone or go back to the nail shop and have them remove - otherwise your nails will be weak.
--watch for infections - if you see darkness under the nail, get something to help it or you will lose the real nail
In other words, they aren't miracle workers but make your nails look great (and nail color stays on longer on acrylics)
enjoy themDoes it take time to get used to acrylic nails?
ahhhh well the acrylic is a topcoat and it can stick to the nail so ya it might be a hassel to get used to! lol
haha....for me it took like a week to get used to having long, perfect nails.....since i had to keep mine short for piano. but after a few days, i think you'll be used to them.
YES IT WILL TAKE TIME GETTING USE TO. THE MORE U GET UR NAILS DONE THE EASIER U WILL C HOW THINGS WILL BE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE FOR U TO DO. IT WILL TAKE TIME SO DONT GIVE UP JUST YET OK. LIKE ME IM STILL TRYIN TO GET USE TO PUTTING ON ACRYLIC NAILS THE MORE I DO IT THE EASIER IT BECOMES AND THE BETTER I GET AT DOING IT. HOPE I HELPED TAKE CARE1
it gets better after a day or two dont worry
it takes a few days it took me ages to do my hair but after a while your forget there there
i wear them all the time. The 1st days a little awkward, but in a day or two you'll get used to them and u wont even know they're there. I promise.
it takes a little while to get used to. i would get them at a shorter length so they look nice, but you can still type and dress yourself. i had to get them fairly short, i had trouble trying to type, etc.
Yeah ditto everybody else...it's takes a day or two then you'll forget about it until you decide to take them off. Then you fingers are kinda sensitive.
yes you do get used to them, but when they start to grow out, thats when the problem happens and its so hard to get them off!!! and it damages your nails, becuase you have to sit your nails in nail polish remover
I too went through this problem, especially since my nails were very short before I put on acrylics. I would suggest you just keep trying, as there is really no other way to get used to them... unless of course you got them fairly long, if that is the case, getting them trimmed shorter or just going for a shorter length next time may help you.
i got used to them fast it all depends how often u where acrylic.
yes it will take time but then it will become natural and when or if you take them off that will be weird

Once my acrylic nails are taken off is there a treatment available to make my ones underneath stronger?
i have had my nails (acrylic) on for a while and now my real nails underneath are long enoug, i want to have to fake off but i know my real ones will be weak for a while, i dont want them to break and have to have fake again!Once my acrylic nails are taken off is there a treatment available to make my ones underneath stronger?
Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle (gold bottle) - does what it says - a miracle!!! It makes your nails as strong as gels.Once my acrylic nails are taken off is there a treatment available to make my ones underneath stronger?
You can undergo intensive nail strengthening treatment which involves submerging your nails in cow dung and letting the dung's strengthening properties take effect.
Alternate between nail hardener and cuticle cream,using nail hardener alone can make them brittle.Wear polish at all times(clear will do) to help seal in the nail's own moisture and add strength to nails.makeup school moisturizer cream

Can I get a French manicure without having to get acrylic nails or fake nails? ?
I just want my nails painted with the neutral color and the white tips. They aren't super long, but they're not short either. Will nail stylists do that? If they do, how much does it cost? Sunday is my 18th and I want them to be super cute!Can I get a French manicure without having to get acrylic nails or fake nails? ?
Absolutely ! They will give you a manicure and then
use one of a variety of available pink and also white (or off-white) polish.
You should have a top coat at home to apply everyother day to help the polish last as long as possible and of course apply a quality nail oil every night.
Please choose a clean nail salon/ nail technician. If you need info on how to know for sure let me know.

How old do you think some one should be to get acrylic nails on?
Im 12 do you think i am too young to get acyrilic nails on?How old do you think some one should be to get acrylic nails on?
I think you're old enough if it's only for a very special occasion, like being a junior bridesmaid at a relatives wedding, but you are too young to have them on a regular basis or just for fun. Remember, there's nothing wrong with having your own natural nails and taking care of them and making sure they're well groomed.How old do you think some one should be to get acrylic nails on?
Maybe getting acrylic nails at 12 is better than older because then the nail can strengthen faster when they are taking off and this gives you a change to see if you like that before causing permanent damage to your nails.
i got them when i was 12
So, Greg..I got some at 11 and regretted it. So, don't
don't get acrylics--they absolutely RUIN your nails! the trick i figured out to get my nails to grow long (mine are really weak) is to buy sally hansen diamond strength nail hardener clearn polish or any of the sally hansen maximum growth plus nourishment nail color. keep your nails painted with the good polishes like this and they'll grow instead of being ruined by acrylic nails.
i guess if you want them go ahead...they hurt when you its time to take them off though

Is it appropate for a 10 year old kid to get acrylic nails?
My daughter wants to get them and i dont know if its ok? What do you think?Is it appropate for a 10 year old kid to get acrylic nails?
I personally think tht shes 2 young to get acrylics. Maybe she could jus get a french manicure tht makes it look lyk she has nails on.Is it appropate for a 10 year old kid to get acrylic nails?
At Wal-Mart they have the ones you can do yourself that are ment for kids her age. They aren't really long, but they have cute designs. If you do any acrylic nails and you do them yourself and you get them on wrong or something it hurts like crazy!!!!!!!!!! If you get them done at a shop they grow out and it costs alot to get them filled plus it tears your nails up after you get them off.
if you raise your kid to know that she can ONLY have then because of good conduct, or because you simply want to have a girls day out, maybe...but be prepared to say no to other things. once the nails come on, shes gonna want a cell phone, all the candy in teh world, heeled shoes and if you give her all that guess what? MATERIALIST...you dont want a spoiled kid. or get her her nails, or get her the shoes...but make sure you get it for her becuase YOU want her to have it, not because she asked for it then cried after you said no, so you finally gave in. thats how parents ruin their own lives....plus im 19 and have only gotten em twice in my life...they left my nails ugly, and weak...
err no its not she's a kid let her be kid surely , they are growing up way too fast these days! omg when i was 10 i dint even know what acrylic nails were?! saying yes because she gets what she wants and all her friends are doing it isnt a good reason unless u want her to grow up vain,spoilt and doing things that arent age appropraite just because everyone else does it?! wonderful!
I wouldn't. They are crappy. When you try to put your clothes on they will like snap off. They mess up your nails with that horrible glue! I dont think its for a girl, although they make it for girls, but I think they are for women. I only tried it once I honestly hated it!
Eeeek! I don't think so!
The first time I got acrylic nails was when i graduated middle school, even then I feel it was too early! Start her off when she gets to high school, that would be much more tactful.
wAy too young
im in gr 9 and theres only like 2 girls in my whole school that have them
they look really cheap on young girls especially 10 year olds!!
I don't think a 10 year old should be getting acrylic nails, that is just my personal opinion. Is she wearing makeup/dying her hair? etc...she is TEN!!
umm only if she is responsible enough to not try to break them off because threy could damage her real nails.
i dont think you should because they could really mess up her nails.
just get her a manicure and get it french tipped.
no...... don't let her get them!!!!!
they're really painful!
she's gonna get hurt,
and im gonna laugh because you let her.
You're the parent so its completely your choice. IMO though, that is too young.
NO!!! she is too young!!!! and it will be a waste of money!!! Please don't let your child grow up too fast!!

How can I take acrylic nails off?
I got my nails done, and they're really starting to get on my nerves. So how can I take them off without it hurting or damaging my real nails?How can I take acrylic nails off?
Get some acetone and foil. Saturate a cotton ball with acetone and place it on the nail. Wrap the nail in foil. Do this to each nail and wait about 30 minutes. Check them more frequently if your fingers feel at all uncomfortable. You should be able to scrape them off with an orangewood stick after that no problem.
Before you get them removed,, why not try them a little shorter?How can I take acrylic nails off?
Go to the salon you got em done at and ask them to remove it. It doesn't cost a lot but its probably the easiest way to get them off without damaging your nails.
DO NOT PULL THEM OFF YOURSELF! I did that and pulled off the layers of my nails and they became paper thin and gross.
If you don't want to spend money and getting them removed professionally, try putting them in nail polish remover for like 20 minutes.
Hey
A strong nail polish will. First you need to cut the fake nail down to the top of your real nail and file down the fake nail across the top to make it thinner. (Stopping before you get to your real nail.) Then if you put the nail polish in a small tub/dish and soak your nails in it they should melt/ soften so you can rub them off using cotton wall ball and more nail polish. Some may require a little help by scraping them with a cuticle Stick while soaking them.
Hope this helps
It was how I Used to get mine off. X
my mom does nails and she says the best way to get them off is to go on a nail salon and get them off with acetone. she said it wont hurt as much as ripping them off yourself and at some places if your lucky they only charge like 3-5 dollars to get them off or sometimes FREE! lol yeahh so u should go to a nail salon and get them off for a less painful experience for you! hope this helps!! ((:
You could use some nail polish remover but it takes forever to get the acrylic off.
I would go get them removed at the nail place though.
Do not pick the nails off, it could rip off parts of your natural nails.
Soak them in nail polish remover, but be sure it contains acetone. It dissolves the acrylic and you can gently scrape them off.
use sally hansons fake nail remover you can buy it at walmart or some place you just sosk them in the jar and they should peel right off
Put nail polish remover on them.

soak your nails in nail polish remover to losen the glue or go pay to get them removed

Can I change my own nail polish on acrylic nails?
I have acrylic nails. Sometimes I go 3 weeks between fills instead of 2.
If I do that and I'm sick of my polish, can I change it? If I use polish remover on the acrylic without getting a fill done is it somehow harmful to the acrylic?
Does anyone who has acrylic nails change their own polish at home? How does it work for you?Can I change my own nail polish on acrylic nails?
It's not worth the effort, it takes FOREVER to wipe off the nail polish. The best idea would probably be to go back to the salon,and have them do it for you.Can I change my own nail polish on acrylic nails?

How long does it take for nails to go back to normal after having acrylic nails taken off??!?
okayy so i got my nails taken off last week and they are really weak and the nail bed is like different and yeah. i was wondering how long does it take for nails to go back to normal after having acrylic(fake) nails taken off?
thanks! :]How long does it take for nails to go back to normal after having acrylic nails taken off??!?
It takes mine about 2 months to go fully back to normal. I use one of those manicure block things to smooth the nail surface, then use a nail and cuticle conditioning pen about every other day to strengthen them. Both are cheep and can be found at walmart.How long does it take for nails to go back to normal after having acrylic nails taken off??!?
like forever. as long as it takes from the bed of your nail to grow out to the tip. Put polish on, it will help hide the mess.
Depends how fast your nails grow. Polish on a good nail strengthener with no color on top and you should be good in about 3 weeks to 6 weeks. And never ever do acrylic nails again.
a couple weeks to a month. put some of the sally hansen nail growth and repair stuff on them every night (:

Both are cheep and can be found at walmart.How long does it take for nails to go back to normal after having acrylic nails taken off??!?
like forever. as long as it takes from the bed of your nail to grow out to the tip. Put polish on, it will help hide the mess.
Depends how fast your nails grow. Polish on a good nail strengthener with no color on top and you should be good in about 3 weeks to 6 weeks. And never ever do acrylic nails again.
a couple weeks to a month. put some of the sally hansen nail growth and repair stuff on them every night (:
Is there any other way to put acrylic nails on myself instead of going to get them done?
I'd rather just give myself a manicure so does anyone know how to put acrylics on by themselves and make it look just as good as getting them done professionally??Is there any other way to put acrylic nails on myself instead of going to get them done?
I bought a kit at a beauty supply store (Sally Beauty Supply, Maly's is good too), it was only like $8. It came with every thing you need and the instructions. It was very easy to do- my nails looked great on the first try! Just remember to do them in a well ventilated area- the acrylic is strong! They also have other formulas, like gel. And the kits come with enough for multiple uses.
p.s. Although pretty simple, it did take me a while because it was my first try- like at least an hour! And you will want to take your time so you dont screw it up!Is there any other way to put acrylic nails on myself instead of going to get them done?
yes lol buy some super glue!
Go into a Sally Beauty Supply store they sell kits there and they usually come with instructions on how to do it.
well i think that maybe one of your friend could do it so that it won;t be a hassal trying to get them on but make sure you ask a friend that can keep your secreats because if you don't he or she will probaly tell that you have acrylic nails.

Buy some cheap plastic ones at the grocery and some glue..
Yes, there is a way to put acrylic nails on yourself. If you live in the US, there are several retailers, that sale the acrylic nail kits. Many beauty supply stores, sale nail kits, however I believe your efforts and money would be best spent at Wal-mart, Sally's,or Walgreen's. Just follow the instructions, enclosed in the kit, and watch the manicurist in you emerge.
Yes you just go to the store buy all the stuff. You might need someone to assist you but it is possible to do it all by yourself.
Everytime I see a girl with those fake nails on I imagine all the germs living under them.
Just grow your own nails.
Go to a nail store or a place like Rite Aid and you can get little kits.
They do sell acrylic nail sets at any drug store. But...its really hard to do. especially ur non dominant hand. The glue may bubble up or not be even and look pretty nasty. Also, if you mess it up, you leave yourself open to infections or even worse...fungus growing!
I did it once and it was the worst mistake ever.
Its better to have them done.

What is the difference between gel and acrylic nails?
Acrylic nails are applied using a monomer (the 'liquid'), and a polymer (the 'powder'). The two ingredients are combined and the resulting bead of soft acrylic is placed into your nails and shaped into an artificial nail enhancement. Acrylic hardens by exposure to room temperature air in about 2 minutes for most brands. Acrylic is the most common form of nail enhancement offered in salons. If the tech uses cheap acrylic products, then the result is usually shoddy looking nails that yellow very easily, and look very fake. This usually happens in the cheaper salons, though I have seen it in higher end salons as well. It's always best yo use top of the line nail products when doing either acrylic, or gel nails on someone. The end result is usually so much better looking, and longer lasting than with cheap products.
UV gel nails are made from chemicals which are part of the acrylic family, but are different in a few ways. The most noticable difference is that the nail gels themselves are in fact not powder - as many people believe it is, but instead it is? You guessed it, UV nail gels are a gel! They look exactly as the name implies, like a 'gel.' Here is a pic of what top of the line UV gels look like. Notice they are NOT a powder!
http://www.cnd.com/Home/homelink-consume鈥?/a>
The gels are applied to your nails in several thinly applied layers, and each and every layer MUST be cured under a UV lamp for about 2 minutes each. This is quite different from the way acrylic nails harden - by exposure to air. Gel doesn't cure by exposing it to air. It uses the UV light emitted from the UV lamp to start the process of polymerization, and cure into the finished product. This takes place in 2 minutes - normally. Some brands need to cure for 3 minutes.
To sum it up, UV gel nails are non-yellowing, non-toxic, and quite durable as well. They are also much more realistic looking than acrylic nails are, and you can go a bit longer between fills. But beware if you choose to get this type of nail. First, many discount salons (avoid these places at all costs!) will apply acrylic nails, then apply a thin layer of gel over the top and call them gel nails. Well, they are not gel nails, but rather they are acrylic nails. And you will get charged the higher gel nail price. That is a scam that happens all the time to unsuspecting girls/women. Then, these people will leave thinking they have gel nails. This is why there are so many misconceptions about real gel nails vs. fake. I've seen it before - ask the question on here ';How do I remove GEL nails.'; and everyone will tell you to soak them in polish remover, or acetone. If you got scammed and got acrylic nails instead of gels, then yes, they will soak off easily. And this is what happened to many people, so they think this is how they are removed. BUT, this is far from the truth. UV Gel nails are NOT soaked off. They cannot be due to their being non-porous. Thus, they are not affected by acetone or any other solvents. UV gel nails must be filed off. There is no other way to remove them. Anyone who tells you they had their 'gel' nails soaked off had acrylic nails, and not gel. Don't let that happen to you.
OK, enough gabbing on my part, LOL! I gave you a lot more info than you asked for - sorry...

What is the best way to remove Acrylic nails?
Acetone dips, nail wraps...
What is the best way to remove them without going to a nail salon??What is the best way to remove Acrylic nails?
Acetone is the best way I guess. It seems to take forever, and it damages them nomatter what, but just do not bite or rip them, that peels the nail layers away!What is the best way to remove Acrylic nails?
100% pure acetone. Don't buy the stuff that says ';Nail Polish Remover';, the bottle must say 100% acetone or just ACETONE. The other stuff isn't strong enough to remove the acrylic. Pour some in a bowl and let your fingers soak in it for 30 min. The acrylic will slowly soften and dissolve away. It takes a while, though. And I don't recommend soaking for a bit and then filing the rest of the acrylic off. Your nails are already weak from having the fake nails on to begin with. Rubbing a file over your nail to get the rest of the acrylic off will just make them weaker. As the acrylic dissolves, use your fingertips to gently scrape it off as it softens. Once it's ALL gone, use a file very very gently to remove the residue, then a buffing pad to smooth out the nail bed.
uhhmmm wat i do is when my nails look like they need a fill i just bit my acrylics off.thats wat works for me but if you juss got them on,try acetone
its takes FOREVER using acetone
try anything other than acetone
it will alsop ruin ur nails
go to a construction site and use the jackhammer
Soak them in acetone for about 30 minutes. Then use a nail file and file the WHOLE nail, then keep soaking and filing.

How to you take off acrylic nails the fastest and least painful way?How to get off acrylic nails?
If you don't want to go to the salon, try soaking your nails in an acetone nail polish remover, then gently lift and peel. Resoak as needed.How to get off acrylic nails?
umm u can dip them in nail polish remover and it soaks off but it may ruin your nails soo i recommend u got to the nail salon and tell them to do it
Soak just your nails in 100% acetone. Or I can tell you a horrible way that will dry out your skin. If you need to know just email and I will email back the substance.
get some pure Acetone and just let your fingers soak in it. it breaks away at the acrylic and makes it easier to pull off the nail without it hurting.
Salons use acetone to soak your acrylic off which you can buy at Walgreens or CVS for a couple dollars. It does take a long time, but helps if you trim your nails down first so there is not as large of an area to soak. I laso recommend getting a file with a buffer to helps smooth your nails out after the acrylic is gone.

If you use nail polish remover to take off your Acrylic nails off will it damage it?
When i take my nails off by using a nail polish remover will it damage your nails? Or will it grow naturally or will it take months to recover?If you use nail polish remover to take off your Acrylic nails off will it damage it?
no! it shouldn't.If you use nail polish remover to take off your Acrylic nails off will it damage it?
Your nails will still be a bit on the thin and damaged side from the acrylic but if you don't get your nails done very often and your nails were pretty strong to begin with, it won't do too much damage. If you're concerned about your nails' strength, if you go back to the salon ask for a silk wrap, it looks very natural and allows your nails to gain some strength back. Good luck!
it has always been my experience that fake nails damage my real nails, no matter how long i have them on and no matter what i use to get them off.
Honestly there's no risk... But I recommend you to try a good product to remove acrylic nails. For example, Ysnails acrylic remover comes with lanolin that prevents the cuticles from drying out. Good luck.
This wont damage the nail.
If you go to the salon where you had them done, they will most likely take them off for little or no price.
I would first suggest soaking them in rubbing alchohol and rub at the acrylic nail and see if they are looser than use soap and water and just try to scrape it off.
I wear acrylic nails all the time and I am always worried about ruining my natural nail :/ good luck girl.

Can you get your acrylic nails cut without ruining the polish?
I just got my nails done at a salon that isn't the usual one i go to (because i am at school). I don't like how long they are so I was wondering if i go get the cut down at my salon at home, do i have to get them repainted? I really like the color I have.Can you get your acrylic nails cut without ruining the polish?
no the color will chip....go to a store and by the same exact color and take it to the nail shop, they will do it like that :)Can you get your acrylic nails cut without ruining the polish?
Absolutely not. It won't be picture perfect. Next time you go anywhere to get your nails done, and you are spending YOUR money, then be more decisive about what you want.

I have been getting acrylic nails for 15 years?
My natural nails are now in terrible shape, they are peeling and very thin. I would like to restore my nails for my wedding that is one year away. I would love to have strong, natural nails for this event. What do I do? Are there supplements that I can take that REALLY WORK, strengthening products that I can use? Thanks!I have been getting acrylic nails for 15 years?
To help restore you natural nails, there are several things you can do. As far as supplements go, as long as you are eating healthy, well-balanced meals then your body should already have enough of the vitamins and minerals which play a role in healthy hair, skin, and nails. There is one supplement which has been proven to be beneficial to nails for people who aren't malnourished, and that supplement is Biotin. Calcium and Iron are also important supplements. But, problems with nails often indicate a nutricional deficiency, and that needs to be treated before any supplements will be beneficial. For example, if you are not getting enough protein in your diet, then calcium is not utilized properly in your nails. As for iron, too much can be as troublesome as too little. So, a well-balanced diet is important, and the use of a basic multi-vitamin and additional biotin supplements can be very helpful as long as you aren't malnourished in any way. If you aren't eating right, then the first step is to establish good eating habits, and then you can take supplements once your eating habits have improved.
There are a few other simple, yet important steps you can take to help with your nails. One is to use gloves whenever you are going to be doing dishes, or whenever your hands may be exposed to household chemicals and/or water for extended periods of time. Both household cleaners, and water can be extremely damaging to your nails. Water is one of the worst things for you nails. Each time your nails get wet, they expand. And when they dry, they contract. If this happens too often, it will result in weak, brittle nails. To help combat this, use gloves whenever possible, and when your hands do get wet, promptly dry them thoroughly, and apply a good moisturizing lotion to your hands and massage it into your nails, and the skin surrounding them. This will help to keep them moisturized, and in turn will improve not only your skin, but your nails as well. Use after every hand washing. In the winter, if you wear gloves for warmth, apply hand lotion before putting the gloves on.
One lst thing is the use of a good quality cuticle oil, especially one that contains Jojoba Oil. This has natural healing properties, and its molecules are small enough to penetrate the surface of the nail, and be absorbed into it. Vitamin E is often cited as a good way to moisturize your nails, but its molecules are too large to penetrate the nail surface, so it really doesn't do much for them, though it may be beneficial to you cuticles, and surrounding skin. Apply cuticle oil to your cuticles, and massage into your cuticles, and your nails too. Apply 2-3 times a day, every day. Basically, its a good idea to use cuticle oil as often as you can. Of course, I don't mean like every five minutes or whatever. But, its a good idea to keep a small bottle on hand such as in your purse. And when you have a few minutes to spare, such as when you are waiting at the doctors office to be seen, or you are a passenger in a car, waiting for dinner to finish cooking - things like that. Take advantage of that spare time and apply some cuticle oil. It only takes a minute or so to do, and its very beneficial to your nails.
Either way, it will take several weeks before you begin to notice the effects of any of these treatments. But, you have a year to go before your wedding, so that will give you plenty of time to regain healthy, and strong natural nails.
One note: A lot of people will tell you to use nail strengtheners. If you use them, be certain that they do not contain any formaldehyde, because most of them have this chemical in them. And while those that contain formaldehyde may help in the short term - over time, your nails will become dry, and brittle from the formaldehyde. So, just look for strengtheners that do not have this chemical in them.

My mother had acrylic nails[I do to!] for awhile and every now and then we get them taken off and let our natural nails kind of ';air out';.
This is what we do:
They have this thing called a overlay,its like a gel. It goes on your nails and makes your nail beds thicker.In a way its like acrylics,but no tips[
The overlay will grow out with your nails, no need to remove it at all.... but you can always add to it when its growing out from the cuticle area. It looks natual and would be best if you waited a month before getting any overlay services, give your nail's some time to treat and restore themselves.]
We Use a very good base coat ( not as much chemicals in base coats as clear/colored polish or top coats.
Soak your poor damaged nails in moisture. Cuticle oil and nail oil are both good. It works really well.
Hope I helped!

It will cost the same.
It costs the same and yes you can have it done. Just tell them you dont want the white tips. They will fill in your whole nail with pink.. not using the white tips, and then file and paint them.

Does any one do acrylic nails themselves?
I'm looking to ';cut costs'; and try doing my own acrylic nails with the liquid and powder. Have you had any experience with this? What kind of powder and liquid do you use; in other words, where do you get it from?Does any one do acrylic nails themselves?
Times is hard, but I really don't recommend playing around with acrylics on your own without any proper training.
My reasons:
1. If you don't properly sanitize your nail, you can get a bacterial infections.
2. The monomer (the liquid) has a really strong smell, so if you're not in a well ventilated area, you can get sick from it.
3. If you don't handle the chemicals properly, you can become over exposed to the product and become allergic to all acrylic nail enhancements. (Which means that you wont be able to get your nails done anymore)
It really isn't worth it. If you can't keep up with acrylics, growing your nails out and wearing polish might be a better choice. You can also look into getting gels instead. They're a bit more expensive, but you can go without a fill for about a month (assuming that you take care of them and the tech knows what he/she is doing)Does any one do acrylic nails themselves?
Yes....
My mom did it for me once and they stayed on forever!
Here is a place where you can find the supplies to do them cheap!:

What kind of nail polish is safe to use on acrylic nails?
so i just got fake nails put on and the lady said to use non-acetone nail polish because acetone takes ur nails off...what nail polish is non-acetone?What kind of nail polish is safe to use on acrylic nails?
non acetone and acetone usually has to do with nail polish remover.

Can acrylic nails be worn when having an operation?
I am due to have a cerclage removed in four weeks. (A cerclage is a stitch around the cervix to be able to prolong a pregnancy). I am having it removed under a spinal block. Thing is I have acrylic nails and wondered if anyone knew if they need to be removed (I can't remember), I know nail polish has to be removed, that is why I ask. Any info appreciated.Can acrylic nails be worn when having an operation?
no, not normally.
they have to be able to see your nail beds, if you aren't getting enough oxygen during the procedure, they'll start to turn blue/purpleCan acrylic nails be worn when having an operation?
nurses will remove it for you if you don't.. the nails are a good indicator if your having oxygenation problems during the opration.. also having acrylic nails will disrupt the sensors of the pulse oximeter attached to your finger..
No. That is how they can tell if you are getting enough oxygen. As a body shuts down, the fingers and toes are the first to be starved in order to save the important things like heart, lungs, brain. They can see if your oxy levels are starting to go.

Can acrylic nails/tips be chemically removed?
I got tips for the first time, and am not sure how to remove them. Can they be chemically removed? Can I do this at home or do I have to go back to the nail salon to have them removed?Can acrylic nails/tips be chemically removed?
People have removed them at home before, but they always seriously screw up their own nails. I reccommend going back to the salon and they will soak them off for you. It is easy and cheap and will be much better for your nails. It also wont hurt.Can acrylic nails/tips be chemically removed?
Get them removed at a nail salon!! My friends acrylic nails grew into her own (WERD) and it was very painful trying to rip them off. She managed to but only after they grew to a disgustingly long length.
Well... you can go to the Salon but you can buy actone nail polish remover and that should work. Just soak your fingers in actone nail polish remover.
Clip them down as far as you can with nail clippers then soak in acetone solution. You can get acrylic nail remover at the drug store. It takes a long time, a good hour or so for it to dissolve. Just soak and rub gently. Don't pull or you risk tearing your nail or making it even thinner
