well, i've had my nails since prom and they have..well, grown out since then..so they loook really ugly. i dont have enough money to spare to go get them filled so is there a way to get them off?
my friends have suggested gnawing them off ( mellow.gif ) and another said to soak them in pure acetone..does that work?

i just got the tips done btw..

^ yea... that's what i did... ..last time i had acrylic nails ...

or dunk them in hot water for a while... but acetone/polish remover works good.

Heh I bite them off because it doesn't really hurt for me, but the left-over glue is a pain in the arse to get off my real nails.

i had them once...and it was hell to take them off...i use nail poisher remover..to weaken it...which ended up making my fibgers really wrinkly and tehn iwhen i finally got them off there was still leftover glue stuck on my nail...it took me two hours to get if off

either way because if you just scratch it off, and have the scratch marks there.
you could just wash your hands in water.
it erases immediately.
i alawys do that, nothing happens with my nails.

well my parents own a nail shop.. and usually nail shops let you come in to take them off.. for like 10 bucks.. but if u dont have ten bucks.. then yea do what most people are saying..

ive seen people come in to take their nails off. and they do usually soak them in acetone for awhile.. and they take a new fake nail thing and put in underneath the acryclic nail [usually where the tip is.. u would find like a lil lifting there] and just like move it side to side under the acryclic and it just peels right off.

ehh; my moms a nail designer, ht people htat do those acrylic nails and such. i think from what i heardd you just like bite them off, if you cant go to them to get it off for you. But my mom uses this thing, and it goes under the nail and it tkes it off. Or just use the acetone thingie.
