How do you remove nail extensions?

Soak them off in acetone or acetone nail varnish remover. The best stuff to use is called ';Get Em Off';, you can buy it in Boots or Tesco. Just keep taking them out of the liquid and wiping them with a tissue till all traces of the nails are gone. Takes a few hours. Don't pick them or prize them off cos you will damage the natural nails underneath. Afterwards, rub some good hand cream or sweet almond oil into your nails and cuticles to re-hydrate them as acetone is very drying.How do you remove nail extensions?
Soak, soak, and soak some more. Get an acetone polish remover and a glass bowl (you will melt plastic with the acetone) and soak them off. You can use an orange stick to gently peel away layers of the tips, but do not pry. The prying and ripping will damage your nail bed even more. After they are off definitely use a product like nailtiques. The nailtiques is a step process that includes a laquer to protect your nail and a cuticle oil to help your nail grow again. I have been using nailtiques and I am seeing progress with my natural nails. The key to healthy nails is keeping your cuticles healthy, so use the oil and it is ok to massage the oil into your nail beds too. Good luck.How do you remove nail extensions?

Takes a while, but it will work.
Soak them in warm nail polish remover.
get some nail varnish remover that has acetone in it and soak them for approx 10mins, could take longer.


they will become really sticky then you can peal them off.

Nail clippers??

I think it largely depends on the type you have. 'Gel' nails you can easily get off by soaking them in warm water (as warm as you can stand it) until they just peel off. But acrylic nails are more stubborn and you would either need to use acetone or get them removed by a professional. Hope this helps!
