What's the best way to remove acrylic nails?

My new job requires no long nails. I don't know how to take them off ';safely';.What's the best way to remove acrylic nails?
You can go to CVS and buy a bottle of 100% acetone for $4.





you'll also need a glass bowl, a wooden cuticle stick, a pair of nail clippers, cotton balls and a medium coarse and fine emory block along with some nail oil.





careully clip your acrylics down to the tips of your fingers or just before your natural nail ends.





Pour the acetone in a glass or acetone proof bowl (I prefer a glass bowl to see the progress.)





Soak your nails in the acetone and after a few minutes start to scrape off the acryilic carefully while it's in the acetone. Be patient because the will take some time to do. It will look like Fluff (melted marshmellow) when you're scraping it off.





After you gotten all the acrylic off your nails. Take a cottonball and soak it with aceteone to try to get the last lil bits of acrylic off your nails and possibly your fingers.





wash your hands and nail some nail/cuticle oil and massage into the nails since they will be dryed out from the acryric and the acetone bath.What's the best way to remove acrylic nails?
First trim them down. Then soak them in 100% acetone until a significant amount is removed - don't keep taking them out of the acetone or the acrylic will re-harden. Once you get off as much of the acrylic as possible you can use a buffer or nail file to remove the rest. Be sure to use lots of lotion after - the acetone will be very drying to your skin!
either.. go back to the place.. have then take it off for u..








or.. chip it off little by little.. thats what i do.. but i bite it off... hahahaha
I usually soak mine in nail polish remover to soften them up and then use a cuticle stick to gently pry the acrylic nail off of your actual nail.
You can soak your nails in an acetone based nail polish remover. Just cut them as short as possible and soak them. The acetone will eat away at the acrylic.
