Anyone here get their nails done? Acrylic or Fiberglass? Question for you.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

My nails are getting waaaay too long, and I can't afford to go get them done. So, how can I get them off, painlessly? Note, they are fiberglass and mostly polished super glue. Any suggestions? Thanks

1. it's gonna be painful regardless, but soak them in hot water

and then yank 'em off

3. Acetone won't help dissolve the superglue?

Damn....I guess I'll just have to wait it out until I can afford to get them done....Damn.

4. i've tried the acetone, and it didn't help me

maybe there was something wrong with the type I bought :shrug:

2. Soak them in acetone?

That's how I used to get acrylics off, but I've never had fiberglass nails.

Good luck.

5. can't you just cut them down, let you natural nails grow out and keep

cutting the fake ones and repeat the process until the fake ones are gone?

6. Yes...

but i'm getting bored with the thickness of the stuff on my nails and it's starting to get hard to type.

8. Well, I did it, and I'm really glad I did....

I can type again. Work was getting really annoying not being able to type very fast. I soaked fingers in acetone and clipped away until it was gone. It took an hour and 15 minutes, but it all worked out.
