Is there any way to remove acrylic nail tips without going back to the salon?

Yes, but it sucks...at the drug store you should be able to buy an acetone acrylic nail remover...if your nails are loose it works better, but if they're not...they're hard to remove...and the acetone dries the sh*t out of your fingers...good luck!Is there any way to remove acrylic nail tips without going back to the salon?
Soak them in Acetone (nail polish remover). But don't use Non-Acetone nail polish remover. It won't work. The acetone will melt the plastic. Apply acetone to cotton and put on each finger, then wrap in foil and heat (not too hot!!!) with the sun or warming mitts. This will soften them and they should peel off nice. Just be carefull and take your time. FYI...Acetone takes off band-aid marks also and the yellow stuff they put on before you have surgery.Is there any way to remove acrylic nail tips without going back to the salon?
lol wait for awhile then pick them out yourself.
Acetone is supposed to work but takes forever. You can take a fresh nail tip and slide it under the nail to pop it off. This is how they do it at the salons most of the time.





I bite mine off but can't recommend that.
do what i do, wait to get a fill for 1 month, and they will start to lift and chip off, then pick and bite at them, then use another fake nail underneath and lift, which hurts alittle. or soak in acetone for a long time, they will get mushy and then you scrape them off. the next time i always say i will get a fill every two weeks, but never do......
Its better to go back to saloon they will help you out in much better way....
I don't recommend it, but the first poster was correct - soak them in acetone nail polish remover.
acetone nail polish remover
first cut the tips as low as possible. then soak them in acetone artificial nail remover. it will take a long time and it is a gummy mess, but pulling the dry nails off will rip off many layers of your natural nails.
Soak in acetone for 5 min, then buff them off --repeat
Soak them in nail polish remover that contains acetone. They will soften up and eventually you can get them off yourself.
Yep use acetone nail polish remover, u'll have to soak them for a bit as they soften you can remove them, Be aware you'll still damage your own nail but not near as much if u just rip them off.
Now, you can remove the acrylic yourself, even thow it is not the best way.


Soak some cotton balls with acetone and place one over each nail then wrap each fingertip with a little bit of aluminnium foil, leave for 20 min then remove rubbing the cotton ball over the nail to scrub the melted acrylic off. If necessary repeat with clean cotton balls. If your nails are left dull use a 3 way buffer to give them shine the use plenty of lotion or cuticle oil to moisturize because the acetone is very drying for the nails and surrounding skin.
Nail polish remover w/Acetone. It will take awhile...
soak them in nail polish remover with acetone.
There is acrylic nail remover you can buy at a drugstore. You can find it in the nail section of the cosmetic aisle. It's a lot cheaper than the salon.
They make a fale nale remover you just got to look a while to find it
Clip the tips (length) down as far as you need. Get some pure acetone from any store that sells regular polish remover. Take some aluminum foil cut into squares, and some cotton balls.





Wet the cotton ball with acetone, lay it on the nail and cover with the foil, as tight as possible. Repeat all 10 nails or one hand at a time. Do not peek or open the foil for at least 20 minutes, then one at a time, remove the foils and with a wood pusher - orange wood stick- scrape the acrylic off.. it should come right off.. you can repeat if some traces are left. If you peek, the acrylic will start to harden immediately, so it's best to be patient :)





When you get it all off make sure you give your self a healthy dose of some good hand cream as the acetone is very drying to the surrounding skin.





Hope this helps ~
