Does soaking acrylic nails in nail polish remover get them off?

As suggested already, use pure acetone. Nail polish remover will work, but it takes much longer. Yes, salons can do it for you, but many salons improperly remove them. Many will force them off and that is not the way to remove acrylic nails - ever. But so very many people seem to think that hey, its a nail salon, so they must be doing this the right way. That is a false assumption to make. Never tear them off, pry them off, or in any other way force them off. This will damage your natural nails. Soaking them in pure acetone is the safest, and most efficient method for the removal of acrylic nails. If you had a UV sealer or topcoat applied to your nails at the salon, you must remove this prior to soaking them. Do this by using a 180 or 240 grit nail file and file the surface of your nails until it has been completely removed. Do not over file your nails as this may damage your natural nails in the event you file too much of the acrylic off by accident. UV gel sealers or topcoats are easily filed off, and it only takes a moment to do so. If you were to leave this on your nails, it would take forever to remove them since acetone does not remove it.Does soaking acrylic nails in nail polish remover get them off?
If it is pure acetone it is easier for soaking than some other removers. Thats what the salons use. Soak for as long as you can (at least 15 mins).. the longer you soak the easier they come off. Make sure you have at least an 80/80 (coarse for acrylics) nail file and file away the acrylic as it softens. Be prepared for it to take at least an hour. Don't rush and get impatient cos you will WRECK your own nails underneath. Another trick is putting the acetone in little bowls which are in larger bowls with a little hot water (if that makes sense?!- the water in the big bowl and acetone in the little ones.. not mixed) the heat seems to make the acetone work faster... don't use boiling water though. Once you are done give your hands and cuticles a mask and moisturise and some cuticle oil rubbed into cuticles and nails. You will probably have to keep your nails short for a while until they recover. All this said you are probably better off going to a salon... they can do it in a fraction of the time and have all the aftercare products :)Does soaking acrylic nails in nail polish remover get them off?
No, do not soak it in nail polish remover. A lot of people will do that to try and get them off but it takes a lot longer. You can go to any beauty store and they will have bottles of acetone that you can buy and it will get each nail off in almost twenty seconds. It goes a lot faster. So just buy acetone. It should be pretty cheap.
Yeah but it will takes a really really long time. and then you might still have to ruin your nails underneath by peeling them off. Your best bet is to go back to the salon to get them off. Its not that expensive like 5 to 15 dollars.
yea that's what the instructions tell you to do
yes
