yep you can. it takes quite a long time usually between 30 and 60 mins it depends how thick the enhancments are and also what products have been used.
you will need:
* a bottle of acetone, which you can get from your local chemist (they may have some labelled up as tip remover)
* 1 or 2 bowls (glass or ceramic preferably as some plastics will dissolve along with your nails!)
* a roll of kitchen roll
* a matt of newspaper to place the bowls on as the acetone will take the varnish off your table
*cuticle oil (or olive oil)
* a set of natural nail buffers
what you need to do:
1. pour a good amount of the acetone into the bowl / bowls
2. place your finger tips in to the acetone
3. after a few minutes you will see the acrylic start to dissolve and go mushy on the top
4. use the kitchen roll to keep wiping the dissolved layer of acrylic off the top of your nails
5. keep doing this until it has all dissolved and you are down to your natural nails
6. your nails will be rough on top and will feel quite brittle from the acetone drying them out.
7. apply a few drops of cuticle oil to your nails and massage into the nails
8. using the natural nail buffers gently buff over your nails starting with the most course buffer and finishing with the smoothest
9. you can either leave your nails naked or you can wash all the oil off your hands and apply a strengthening polish a really good one is 'Nail Envy' by OPI
** if you nails had been finished to a shine by having a layer of gel applied over the top (where a layer of gel is painted over the acrylic and then set under a UV lamp) you may have to buff the nails over before you soak them as some gels don't dissolve in acetone.
and never, ever, ever pull or prise nail enhancements off!!!! you will completely knacker your own nails!!!!Can I remove acrylic nail extensions myself, at home and if so how?

I'm a cosmetologist. Your best bet is to go to the store and get acetone nailpolish remover. Put it in a bowl with marbles, or something else small and round, and soak your finger in it. Move your fingers around because the marbles will jostle the acrylics loose.
Yes, you can. I broke them in half, YOU HAVE TO VERY careful not to break your nail underneath, it worked for me.
i dont know
i did it a few weeks ago. it was reccommended to me to soak them in acetone. but truly i wouldn't try. i had to go and have them re-done to cover the damage i did to my nails. it was awful. so i would go and have them removed professionally.
soak them in acetone or u can get nail varnish remover with acetone in it but dont pull them off
the hottest water you can stand, put your nails in it. good luck!
get some nail polish remover normal 1 and soke ur nails in it it takes some time but it works.
no get them taken off professionaly, your ruin ur nails
you can use 100% acitone. soak them for about 30min then use a wood skewer to remove the acrylic.
hiya yep u can mix hot water and equal parts of nail varnish remover and it will shrink the nail x
i just bend them from the side till they come loose
Ehhh, I'm sure you could but I would go to nail salon. Just to make sure!
What you do is soak your nails in acetone or nail polish remover for a couple of minutes...after that use nail clippers or cuticle cutters to start cutting off...continue that process until all your nails are off...and when you are finished buff and file your own nails SO they wont look sooo dull!
I used nail polish remover soaked my nails in it and they came off quite easily, make sure it's got acetone in it
Yes you can. However, whatever way you take the acrylic off your nail is still damaged....your nails will have ridges!!!
hello!! i soaked some cotton wool in nail varnish remover wrapped them round my nails then applied tin foil over the top for 1 hour. came off no probs at all
Yes. Purchase acetone and place in a glass or metal bowl with some cotton pads on the bottom. Soak your nails in the acetone while rubbing against the cotton. It will take about an hour but it's SO much healtheir than prying them off.
You will need a good manicure when they're finally off. Good luck!
you can remove acrylic nail extensions by soaking them in a small glass dish with pure acetone. Make sure it is enough to cover nails. Also make sure to cover hands with small towel while soaking , the heat removes them faster. You will see them melting , then you can scrape them off with sharp object. Then clean up your natural nails with non-acetone polish remover.
Yes you can remove them at home, all you have to do is soak them in Nail Polish Remover for a while, then they will come off. Trust me I've had fake nails like 6 times before! GOOD LUCK!
they have acrylic nail remove solution at your local drugstore, you'll have to soak your nails in this solution to get them loose...don't pull them off, you can cause damage to your real nails!!
