Removal of false nails!?

hi there, does anyone know a way of removing false nails without damaging my own nails underneath?!Removal of false nails!?
Hi. Just about everyone has said for you to soak them in acetone and that's what you are supposed to do. I have done this many times and it does take some time. Anytime you have acrylic or any type of fake nails put on it is always going to do some damage to your natural nails..just part of it. But pour some acetone(you can find it at any beauty supply store and probably just about any place that sells nail products) into a glass or plastic bowl..don't use metal, and soak them for about ten minutes and then use a really coarse nail file and scrape the acrylic off that has softened. (It will have like a gummy consistency)You will have to just keep repeating these two steps because more than likely they are not just going to fall off by soaking them. It takes some time and the acetone is going to cause the skin that is exposed to it to look and feel very dry because it takes the natural oils out of your skin, but it will be ok. Just use plenty of lotion when you are finished. I am not patient when I take mine off..sometimes I go to a nail salon and let them do it..most charge 5 to 10 dollars to remove them. But when I do mine, I use the metal file that is on most nail clippers and gently get it under the fake nail if you can and it will cause an air pocket and I just slowly lift the fake nail off with the file. It's not the most pleasant experience but it's the quickest. Before you take them off, try to find one of those square nail files that has four sides...one for filing the nail edge, one for removing ridges from nails, one for smoothing the surface and the other to make your nails shine. These files are wonderful. It says on the file which is which and they are numbered in the order to use them. I use the side for removing ridges to remove any excess glue...your natural nails are going to look pretty bad at first...then I use the side that smoothes the surface..then I use the last one to make nails shine. After you do this, put some clear nail polish on and you'll be amazed at how much better your nails look. You can find plenty different nail products to put on your nails to strengthen them and get them back into good shape. Just use these products as directed and if you don't have fake nails put back on your nails will grow out and become healthy again. I've never known anyone to have a set of nails put on and not have some damage to the natural nail. Sorry for such a long answer but I hope it helps you. Good luck!Removal of false nails!?
rip em' off hah jk
soak in acetone nail polish remover...they will soften up and come off.
Hi,


from experience I found out it is better to go back to the salon where you had them done and they will soak them off for you.


When you do them yourself you really damage your own nails.


At the salon they can buff them and smooth your nails after they are removed. They will add nail hardner and you should wait a week to re-do your nails because fake nails thin your own nails.
If they are all acrylic then acetone is the best way. Soak let them get real gooy and then pat them dry a bit and file the gooy stuff off. If they have a gel top coat make sure you file this off because if not you will be there forever. Also if they are gel nails you need to drill them offf.
i find warm salty water really works well....leave them to soak in it for 10 mins then they should peel off really easy....works for me every time!
Soak them in warm acetone for about 30 mins and just keep rubbing. It is going to take some time, but that is the only way to take them off unless you go to a nail salon.
Yep sure just get a nail filer and start to go around the fake nail.
acetone
When i wear fake nails i use nail remover..what you do is soak your nails in it for like 5 to 10 minutes..they should come right off...
The best way is to get an acetone nail polish remover and sit for 30 minutes to an hour while watching tv and soak your nails. They will come off on there own in the acetone. Dont pick them too much or they will definitely cause more damage to your nails. My nails were totally and completely ruined when I took off my acrylics. It was awful! Make sure immediately after you take them off you cut your nails and go to a professional salon for a manicure. Good luck!
hello, yes i know how u go about removing false nails. u need to get some acetone nail polish remover %26amp; then put some in a rock glass so that when u put your hands in it that it covers your nails completely. then u need to put a towel over the hand that's in soaking for about 15 minutes before u take that hand out. then u need to remove the liquid on your nails with a cuticle pusher right away before it hardens again %26amp; then keep repeating this until all of that product is removed from your nails. this will take some time for u to do by yourself. also your real nails will be damaged some because of the product that was put on your real nails. my advice to you is to go to a nail salon %26amp; have them do this for you. it's not expensive %26amp; if u go back to the salon that put them on you to begin with they won't be upset at all. when a salon does this they put your hands in a dish that has acetone polish remover but it heats up %26amp; that makes the process happen much faster. so that's my advice to you for this question. good luck, nobrethequeen p.s. i'm a nail tech also
Buy some Kwik Off (Shoppers Drug Mart). It's a sponge soaked in solution in a container. Your put your finger in the hole in the sponge and twist it a few times. This will remove the nail and any polish on it. Once your fake nails are off, rub some pure coconut oil or olive oil, or lotion over your cuticles and nails and give them a couple days of being polish free.
OHH! You too! I hate false nails, well you get a bowl of hot water (very hot, but it shouldn't burn you!) And soak for about 30min (watch tv while your at it) Then slowly take them off (if still tight and glued to you finger, then 30min more!) When you get them off and glue is still left, take a filer and rub it off!
soak them in acetone for about 30 minutes, rub them, soak some more, and keep rubbing until they are all the way off
You have to use Acetone....I don`t wear fake nails but I did try them and they ruined my real nails, they thinned them terribly I had to start all over growing my nails.
You could soak them in Acetone, but it's really bad for your skin. Truly, it is the only non-painful way of doing it though.
soak your nails in an acetone solution (this is what most nail varnish remover is made from) then they should fall right off. You can buy special solutions to soak them off from most salon suppliers or large chemists.
I don't like putting fake nails on my nails...it annoys me...sorry can't help you.
Soak them in nail varnish remover, make sure it's NOT the acetone free stuff though.


It should take 20 -30 minutes %26amp; they'll dissolve %26amp; drop off, don't ever yank them off you can do all kinds of damage to your own nails
No, I dont think that is possible. When the nail was glued on and then the acrylic applied, it sealed your nail. Now you are basically going to rip it off. Soak them first, it makes the talk a little easier. (remover with acetone).
honestly i don't think that acetone works very well, in fact i think that your nails will always be affected after applying nails
yup acetone Is the only way !
Acetone (pure) is the best way. Soak your nails in the acetone. You will have to be patient, if you warm a pan of water and then put the bowl of acetone in the warm water it will make it go faster. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT directly heat acetone. Use an orangewood stick to slowly scrape the acrylic off your nails. Give yourself a good manicure and apply clear polish. Your nails may be a little soft for a few hours but will harden back up quickly. Good luck, please don't rip them off. Take your time and your natural nails will look great.





**use a few drops of baby oil in the acetone to keep your skin from drying out**
My boyfriends mom does nails and she has the best way to get them off. (Trust me... she's been doing my nails for the past 5 years!! lol)





1) cut paper towels into little squares





2) soak the paper towels in acetone -- which can be bought at any beauty supply store





3) cut tin foil into little squares





4) put the acetone soaked paper towels around your finger tips





5) take the tin foil and wrap it around the soaked paper towels and squeeze it kind of tight





6) leave it on for about 20-25 minutes





7) take a nail file and file down the remaining acrylic. it should come RIGHT off.





** This is a very very easy way to get them off! sometimes soaking them in a bowl takes forever and even if you do, its not enough to remove all the acrylic. The pressure from the tin foil helps break down the acrylic better!





Good luck.


Email me if you have any questions!
Your supposed to file down the nail first (Until its not shiny anymore) and the soak them in acetone for a while until they come off! Good luck =]
