Answer #1

I had faulse nails on and didnt know how to get them off with out annoying my nails.

My sister is a beautision and she told me how to get them off .

  1. cut off tips of the faulse nail 2.Dip in the hottest water you can deal with 3.Keep in the water for a bout 10 mins 4.check if they are moveable 5.if they are slightly pull at 1 edge 6.if not put nails in a bowl full of nail polish remover
  2. keep nails in polish remover for about 10 mins
  3. By now they shoud be removable soo 9.put hands back in hot water to remove nail polish remover off hands keep in for a bout 5 mins 10.slightly pull at the sides of the faulse nail and that should get them off.

If nails do ont come off go to a beautision to remove them.

Also this does not work for gel nails

Thanks Zoe

Answer #2

put then in either hot water or alchol and let them sit till they become soft enough to peel off your real nails! Usally this only take bout a half hour for the whole thing!!

Answer #3

Dip them in hott water, or in nail polish remover. :] good luck.

Answer #4

Put them in hot water for about 10 minues and then take a nail clipper and SOFTLY cut them off.

Answer #5

trim your hangnails, take off the clear coat with nail remover so that it is just the acrylic nail. cut the nail off at both corners (make a pointy nail), soak your nails in acetone, then peel off. if you cut the hangnails first, it wont hurt. I have the same problem too.

Answer #6

I hate when fake nails are taken off. I wouldn’t go get them done either because they rip them off and charge 10 bucks. if you put clear nail polish over the hang nails, they won’t burn when you soak your fingers in the acetone.

Answer #7

Just soak them in warm soapy water.Wait 20-30 min.Then carefully peel them off.If this does not work,then I don’t know what will!!!
