I want something to get rid of these nails

Sorry

This might sound like a really daft question, I recently did some acrylic tips, now I wanna get rid of them, cos there annoying me.

What is the cheapest, easiest and safest (in terms of keeping ma nails in tack) way. A friend has suggested acetone, but I am finding it hard to find where I am...

All valid suggestions welcome!!

Cheers

  • You can buy Acetone , I think that is what its called, from a chemist .. not more than a pound a bottle, place in a bowl and soak your nails .... they melt away.
    No Signature Required ......
  • Acetone is basically nail varnish remover (or vice versa) and Empty Purse is right, it's a lot cheaper to just buy acetone :D

    I used acetone to take my nails off. Boots sell it but I had to ask at the pharmacy counter as they keep it in the flammable cupboard, its not with the nail varnish removers.

    I had to ask the chemist for acetone to take my nails off and a little point dont be tempted to pick them off even after/during soaking as it will really damage your nails, i used kitchen roll and soaked for 5 mins then wiped the soggy stuff off then soaked again and wiped much kinder on your own nails.
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
