How to get archrilec nails off?

I have only ,my pointer find and my thumb nails that I got done three weeks ago on my hand.


whats a good solution to get them off?How to get archrilec nails off?
ok so here is the safest way to do it and the way that will cause the less stress on your nail beds. i am a nial tech and have been doing nails in a spa since '93. this process is easy and painfree, but work best if you have a friend do it with you....good luck








first start off with a glass bowl and soak about 13-17 cotton balls in pure acetone---you can find this at a sallys beauty or at your local paint and hardware store---the bottle must say pure acetone!!-----





next take some aluminum foil and cut it in squares--big enough to hold the cottonand your fingernail and be able to wrap all the way around it.





next take an abrasive file and rough up the acrylic nail afew times with the file....this is so the acetone can soak in faster.





next put a peice of foil under the finger you are going to start with and then take a soaked cotton ball and place it on top of your nail. wrap up the foil all around the cotton and your finger.





continue to do this to all fingers. let sit for atleast 30 minutes.....





after 30 minutes take i off at a time and gentle scrape off melted acrylic with an orangewood stick until it all comes off. do this to all fingers one at a time. if any have a little more to get off just redo the steps all over again.





if you have a paraffin machine i do suggest that after you have the foil on all the fingers , rub some lotion on your hands and fingers--making sure not to touch the tips of you fingers with lotion, then dip your hand into the hot wax 3x and then wrap it up in saran wrap and let it sit 30 minutes. the heat from the paraffin helps to speed the process up and is a nice skin softner for you.





now if you have gels this wont work and if you go to a chop shop this might not work either bc they dont use the appropriate supplies..How to get archrilec nails off?
Without damaging the nail bed underneath the best solution would be to either get them re-done, or go to the place you got them done and ask them to be removed. The only other option is to soak them in nail polish remover but that tends to be a drain and takes a while.
sometimes soaking them in nail polish remover gets them off. or hot water. but the nail polish remover usually always works.
Soak them off in pure acetone don't just tear them off soaking them takes time and its not painful but you will be saving your nails in the long run
Soak your nails in Nail Polish Remover for 10 minutes!
