Does anyone how to remove them?

Waiting for them to grow out is taking toooo long and they look skanky anyway now. How do I remove them without causing me pain in time for tomorrow?

Thanks

    Soak them in nail varnish remover.

    Yeah I just googled it and it said acetone.

    I'll try the nail varnish remover tonight but should they just fall off? Or do I have to chisel? :eek:

    Pour some in a bowl and soak your nails in it for about 10 mins, it disolves the nails and takes most of the gunk off.

    Or, go back to the place you had them done and they'll remove them for you - without recking your own nails with acetone.

    Hi,

    You can actually buy false/acrilic (no idea how you spell that) nail remover. It takes a while but you just soak your nails in it for about 15 mins and the nail just disolves (the false one that is) ha ha.

    Hope that helps

    Ive just had mine taken off on Saturday, my hands look soooo weird now!!

    But yeah they soak them in Acetone then file away. I'd recommend you get it done at a nail place cuz they'll spruce them up for you at the same time!

    Nah the place I got them done was shit. I asked for a french manicure and she started slathering acrylic on my poor nails.

    I soaked my hands in nail varnish remover last night but all they did was make me look like I have some sort of std..on my HANDS..argh

    I'll try buy the false nail remover. thankoo!

    I've seen some stuff in the stores for post fake nails. Its just supposed to kind of shine up and even out the look of your nails if theres any damage from them. I'll try to find a link to something similar. I don't wear fakes, I'm too poor to even try but I spend about 20 minutes in the nail section every time I'm in a store and it looks good ;)

    Edit: I can't find it to save my life but I'm going to the store today anyawys, I'll find it and give you a couple examples later.
