The problem with removing them yourself is the damage that can be done to your nails and the nail bed as you pull up on them. Yes acetone can remove them fairly effectively but it is a harsh chemical that can damage the skin too. When you go to a nail salon, they will use acetone to soak them in, then they take an artificial nail and pry them up. You can do this at home. Your natural nails are going to look horrible so make sure to purchase a buffer block from a beauty supply place like Sally's and once you have removed each nail start with the roughest side and buff your nails from side to side, then use the next roughest side and continue til you get to the fourth and smoothest side of the pad. This will make your nails look healthy again. Then apply a small amount of cuticle oil to each nail and rub it it to restore lost oils from the harsh chemicals. Good luck. Susu
