Answer 5

You need polish remover that has acetone in it to dissolve the glue bonding the acrylics. If you can get that, pour some of the polish remover into a dish. Soak your nails for about 15 minutes and they should peel off. If there's resistance stick your hand back in the remover for a few more minutes until it works.

Rub some Vaseline/petroleum jelly on your fingers around your nails so that the polish remover doesn't irritate your skin while you're soaking.

Answer 6

well i have 3 ways that will work (sorta) 1. go to the store n buy some acetone 2. go to a nail salon and get the removed 3. get a hammer n slam them (dont acually do that...)

Answer 7

Apparently paint stripper works very well. Once a friend of mine couldn't get hers off with acetone so she used that, but it's not very good for your skin, so use cautiously!

Can you just wait for them to loosen and fall off or loosen to the point you can pull them off?
