How do i remove acrylic nails from a salon, myself?
This is going to sound weird but it works, trust me. Get 100% acetone from the store. Take some cotton balls and saturate them with the acetone and place it on your nail and wrap your finger and nail in a piece of foil. Do this to every nail. It is easiest to do one hand at a time. The foil with keep your body heat in there and make the acetone work faster. You can also try heating your hands with a blow dryer or if you have a paraffin hand wax dip than you could dip your hands in the wax with the foil on and it will also heat it. The longer you leave it on the easier it will be to get them off. When you take the foil and cotton ball off, take a nail file and gently file away the acrylic. It will have become soft and gooey while the acetone was on them. Be careful because if you remove the acrylic without it being softened first you will damage your nails. They may also be thin after you remove the nails, so you might want to buy a nail strengthener. Try Nail Envy by OPI. Good Luck!
