What's the best way to remove fake nails?

Every time when I get my nails done, and I want to take then off after awhile when they've grown, I'd have to wait till when they're coming off so I can pull them off my nails, and sometimes it hurts really bad if I broke my actual nails by pulling the fake nails off, so I was wondering what's the best way to take them off without hurting my real nails.

    soak them in nail polish remover that contains acetone, it will soften the fake nail and come off easier.

    yea soak them in nail polish remover for a lil while but either way when you pull them off your nails will tend to break and it will hurt...just get them taken off at a nail salon its be a lot easier and somewhat less painful

  • Soak them in nail polish remover(acetone),or rubbing alcohol.Either that or soak your hands in ice cold water and ice cubes till they are numb(especially your nails) then pull off the nails really quick.

    lol well the best fastest way to take them off is to pry them off so maybe soke them in pure acetone first then scrub them with one of those twisty nail polish taker offers lol, til they get really thin then just try to pry them off.
