How to remove fake nails?

Question: my friend and I glued them on Thursday and I don’t know how to get them off. Help! Answer: Place your nails in a bowl of acetone. Fill up a non-metal bowl with pure acetone, and begin soaking your fingernails in the solution. It will take quite a while, so get comfortable. Eventually the acetone will begin to dissolve the nail itself and soften up the glue underneath.

Remove any residual press-on nail. Using your cuticle stick, scrape off any additional glue that may still be present after the soaking process. You might find that a few extra minutes of soaking will take off any trace amounts of glue still left on your nails.

Take care of your natural nails. One you’ve safely removed your press-on nails, you need to pay special attention to the nail bed underneath. Buff out any imperfections caused by the glue and moisturize your nails with a heavy hand cream.
