Removal of Gel nails....?

I've got gel nails on and would like to remove them as they have cracked. I know I can use acetone to soak them off, but was wondering if anyone has any other ideas??? It's too expensive to get them removed at the nail place.Removal of Gel nails....?
The best thing to do is to wait for them to grow out. If you take them off now the nail underneath will be very weak and brittle and you could do damage to your nail very easily. other then that if you want them off now you will have to soak them off, or get a nail file and use it on the top of your nail like a buffer and file them down to just above your natural nail then buff them to smooth them out. at least if you do this you can leave a thin layer of the gel and it will give some strength until they grow out.Removal of Gel nails....?
It hurts but you could always pry them off gently. It works for me.Find a loose edge and work a metal nail file between the two and slowly start to pull up on the nail until it all the way off. Do the same for the rest of your nails. It doesn't take very long, and its what most salons do anyway if they were to take them off for you.
acetone soaking is by far the best. or you can take a cotton ball soak it in acetone but it on your nail and wrap tin foil around it. it will get soft and will be easy to remove after.
