    you can buy acrylic nail remover in boots and superdrug for abut 3 pounds it takes them off in about 20 mins

    Its no faster than acetone and about 3 times the price so to be honest I never bother. I wish there really was a faster way :cool:
  • well done. acryilc nails don't last longer than 36 hours on me. can't keep them on at all, never had a problem getting them off!

    the recommended method is to soak a cotton wool pad in acetone, put it over the nail then wrap the whole finger tip in foil, leave somewhere warm for 20 mins, them scrape and rub the nail off.
  • However you do it it is a lengthy process, like the other have said you need to soak for 20 minutes and then gently scrape away the acrylic/gel.

    It helps if you warm the acetone up so put it in a bowl and soak your fingertips in that with a hotwater bottle underneath the bowl just be careful not to spill it. I find it halves the time it takes.
