I need HELP with acrylic nail removal!?

I got pink and white acrylics (gel) 8 days ago for a wedding... and I want them OFF! They are starting to peel up at the sides. I noticed in other questions people had asked acetone was recommended. If I want them off tonight is that the best way to go? I understand it will take a long time to soak and my nails may be a little sore, but I just want these things gone. Someone please let me know what is the best way to go about this. I'm open to any suggestions!I need HELP with acrylic nail removal!?
sorry sweetie but acetone WONT help to remove gels....alot of ppl dont know this....but i'm gonna give it to you straight....gels can ONLY be removed by drilling....so your best bet is to go back to where you have them put on and have them remove them...cause to be honest you will be sitting hours on end if you even think about trying to remove them with acetone....I need HELP with acrylic nail removal!?
soak your hands in hot soapy water for 10 min and then try some acetone nailpolish remover or whatever. they should be able to peel right off. acetone is the best way to go.
You should try soaking them in acetone nail polish removal. It really works.
This is what you should do. Go to a good beauty supply store (like Sally's Beauty Supply) and buy the acetone nail remover for acrylics- NOT natural nails. It's a pain, but pour a little in a small bowl, and just soak them until they become pliable and softer. You can then use nail clippers to snip away the bigger portions and keep soaking them until they melt completely off. It's going to take some patience, but it will work.
My wife had the same problem after her wedding.





Regular nail polish remover won't help, it doesn't have a high enough concentration of acetone.. Some beauty supply stores will have 100% acetone, but you can get the same 100% acetone for much cheaper at the hardware store.





It speeds the process to clip any extended portions of the acrylic nail off, if you can find strong enough nail clippers, or use cutting pliers (carefully).





Pour the acetone in a small glass bowl or dish (not plastic!)and soak your nails in it. after 20-30 minutes they should start swelling up and get spongy. You can soak for a while longer, or you can speed the process by scraping the spongy part off with a sharp knife and soaking again, until they're gone. Be careful not to scrape through your own natural nails. I helped my wife do this and the entire process took about 45 minutes.





Acetone evaporates very quickly, and is very strong. Your fingers will feel cold while the acetone evaporates, and you might need to add more to the dish every so often. You also ought to have good ventilation. Avoid any open flames. Your skin will become extremely dry after being in the acetone, so use a good moisturizer.





Your natural nails will be slightly soft after you get the acrylic nails off, but over the next few months the soft parts will grow off the ends of your nails and be trimmed away. The new nail growth after that may ever be stronger than your natural nails were previously.
You can not soak gels off. You can only soak acrylics off. You have to file gels off.





PS -- there is no such thing as acrylic (gel); there is only one of the other %26amp; you are probably refering to getting acrylic nails with a gel overlay, still same thing, file off until you get to acrylic
i took some thing sharp like a needle or compass (that they use in math) and put it underneath into one of the corners that were peeling and just like picked away at the stuff holding it there it didnt hurt at all and i didnt even notice i was doing it to tell you the truth buit i suggest after that you go to a nail salon and get the nails buffed there will be a big dent in them those things wreck your nails
