Acrylic nail removal?

What is the best way to remove acrylic nails at home without damaging the nail too much?Acrylic nail removal?
Soak them in pure acetone for 30-40 minutes. Then gently scrape the softened acrylic off with an orange stick, or a paper towel. If it doesn't all come off the first try, soak for another 5-10 minutes, and scrape some more. Be gentle, and do not force the nails off. This will cause damage to your natural nails. If you have a UV topcoat applied over the acrylic, then simply use a nail file to remove the thin layer of UV gel. Gel files easily, and it won't take much effort to remove it. If you don't do this, then your nails won't come off very easily because UV nail gels are non-porous and are resistant to acetone and other solvents.Acrylic nail removal?
The best way to remove the nail is by steeping them in acetone and rubbing them now and then with a cotton bud to help remove the acrylic. This does take ages but is by far the best way to do it so as not to damage the nail plate too much.
buy pure acetone (cheap in the nail care aisle) and soak them for 10-20 minutes. most of the acrylic will disolve and the tips will come off fairly easy. if you have uv nails, you will need to file off the top layer before soaking.
soak it in nail polish remover or go to the salon and get them taken off
