The best way is to soak them in pure acetone, or nail polish with acetone, but it DOES take forever. Or, you could just cut them down and chip away, but you risk cutting through your real nail, and man is that painful. Why don't you cut them down a bit, and let them grow off as much as they can?  |

what I did was try and cut them off (mine were like an extra inch or two long lol) then I soaked them in nail polish with acetone and it took like 10 mins before I could start peeling them off and man it still hurt! Make sure you have some nail strengthner around for aftwards   |

Dark Crow gave you some good advice. To prevent from damaging my own nail I would clip the nails down to my natural nail, then file down the top until there's only a thin film of acrylic left over my nails for which I recommend a file meant to be used on acrylic nails(it only costs a buck), and then I would soak them in pure acetone. I would also ask a clerk at a beauty supply store to recommend a natural nail buffer to get the surface of your nails nice and smooth and finish with a clear nail strengthening coat.  |

To activate the acetone pop it in the microwave until its warm and not hot..this helps speed up the process.  |

Hehe, I can never keep those things on my hands! I would go to get them done and they'd be off the next day. What I would do is kind of chew the sides where it's connected to your nail and try to break that glue stuff. If you keep on gnawing at it they'll come off eventually :-D  |

You HAVE to go back and have them removed. It HURTS but you have to. If you try to do it, you'll hurt yourself ALOT worse. And you think they look bad now, HAHAHA Just WAIT till they come off! LOL They have to file down your ENTIRE nail to make it smooth so all the nail that peels off isn't there anymore. They will be VERY thin and VERY brittle for weeks. Never do this again. I was modling and was addicted to doing my nails for 5 years. So I know all about what has to be done.  |

go back to the place you got them done and tell them to shorten them.  |
