How do i remove artificial nails w/out going back to salon.?

Get nail polish removerHow do i remove artificial nails w/out going back to salon.?
You more then likely have Gel nails which has to be filed off. Acrylic can be soaked off w/ acetone or filed down.





Use a very course nail file so it goes faster but when you get closer to the natural nail, switch to a more fine file. Avoid the urge to break them off as this will take quite a few layers off of your natural nail and make them extremely thin (and ugly), Plus it can really hurt because your pulling up on the nail bed which is full of nerves and blood vesles . BE VERY CAREFUL not to file too far down as this can also remove layers of your natural nail. Thin nails can be painful - ESPECIALLY if you go back to get the nails back on....the UV light will burn like CrAzY. PLUS it takes months for the nail to grow out!





Best bet is to file CARFULLY - a tedious task. Be careful about friction too......it can get hot.





Acrylic can be soaked off w/ acetone - pure acetone is sold at professional outlets - in this case you will also need a special dish to soak them in too. Some nail polishes do have Acetone in them but not enough to do much. Mostly if will just make the top layer soft but won't penetrate through the entire fake nail.





Oh - and go very very slow if you use a powered file VERY careful. You can buy them at walmart and such but I'd say stick with the nail file. Much safer for your first time on trying this





It not that great of idea to let them grow out because a) then usually won't last %26amp; stay in good condition and B) you risk getting stuff undernieth and the nail can get fungus etc





Good luck - and after you get them off, treat yourself to a good manicure w/ some sort of polish for your nails





oh - and if you don't know which you have - gel would have been a ';gel'; when applied and it's shiny; Acrylic she would have dipped her brush into a liquid first then a powder to make a paste and this type of nail takes some buffing to get it shiny. Acrylics not too popular anymore. too much dust from all the filing tooHow do i remove artificial nails w/out going back to salon.?
Buy some acetone ....its a polish remover usually sold right next to regular polish remover. You basically have to allow your nails to soak in the liquid for ten minutes or more to remove them ...Good Luck.
all you have to do, is bite on them. like the sides of the nail. just keep doing it, and they will eventually fall off. thats what i did and mine came off. And they didnt ruin my nails underneath.
Acetone


You can buy straight acetone or just buy nail polish remover with acetone and soak them for a long time. My would always come off when I did the dishes, so hot soapy water might help also.
I used to clip them of with nail clippers then pick them off with eye brow plucker s. Kinda hurts, but its faster than soaking lol
soak them in water or nail polish remover. do NOT force them off-ur nail underneath might peel with it or it'll leave a bad look to ur nail.
once i just ripped them off during school...it killled. soaking them in nail polish remover for 10 minutes helps soften it and it wont hurt as much to pull em off...
Well i always though finger nail polish remover or 100% Acetone would do it?
either soak them in nail polish remover or


in warm soapy water every day until they get loose!!
Cut them so that they are short then soak in nail polish remover.
soak them in nail polish remover for a while


them wipe them off


dont peel or pull
Just out under hot water and peel
at some stores like walmart they have nail removal stuff.
let your actual nails grow out
