    Anyone any tips on removing acrylic nails. Had them done on Thursday for my sisters wedding on Friday. I'm off on hols on Tuesday and they're wrecking my head. Not used to having long(ish) nails.

    Anyone know the best way to remove them?

    I'm reliably informed by my girlfriend that the best way to get them off is as follows:

    Soak cotton wool balls in nail varnish remover (must contain acetone. you know, the good old fashioned horrible smelling stuff) and place over fingernails then individually wrap the the fingers and cotton wool in tinfoil. then wrap your hands with a towel that was soaked in hot water, the nails should be off in a quarter of an hour

    or you could try my "guy" theory, that's never been tried out yet. which is: Pour some nail varnish remover into a rubber glove, put on the glove, then dip gloved hand into warm water. There are probably a lot of reasons why this won't work, rubber glove may dissolve, may get skin irritations etc. but I'll wager it's quicker than the above method....

    best of luck with it

    you can fill a small bowl with acetine and soak to remove...
    you can use nail polish remover or use the special acetone base product that you can buy in boots.
