soak them in acetone not nail polish removerHow can I remove acrylic nails and not harm my natural nails?
soak them in nail poslish remover the remover will deactivate the nail glue but it migh take like and hour or soHow can I remove acrylic nails and not harm my natural nails?
Go to a professional nail salon and ask to have them removed. That's your best bet for preserving your natural nails underneath, though they will still be thin and weak at best. The damage will grow out in two months' time, though.
My first recommendation is to have them removed by a professional that will SOAK them off. DO NOT bite them off or pry them off. That will only damage your nails.
If you want to do it yourself, then use pure acetone. Pour some in a glass bowl and submerge your nails for about 20 minutes. While keeping the nails in the acetone, use an orangewood stick to scrape off the product. If you remove the nails from the acetone it will start to set up and be difficult to remove.
Make sure after soaking them off to use some good hand lotion. Acetone is very drying to the skin.
And one more thing, if there was a gel overlay put on those nails you will have to file the top of the nail to break the seal or no amount of soaking will touch that product.
UMM..... THE IS NO WAY B/C ACETONE HURTS THE NAILS
FOR REMOVING ACRYLIC NAILS, YOU MUST SOAK YOUR NAILS IN NAIL POLISH REMOVER. I RECOMMEND THE NAIL POLISH REMOVER FROM A COMPANY CALLED ';ASK';, WHICH IS IN BURLINGTON, ONTARIO.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE OTHER NAIL POLISH REMOVERS TO ACHIEVE THIS TASK BUT REMEMBER THAT YOUR NAILS WILL BE A LITTLE DRY AFTERWARDS AND YOU DONT WANT THAT. YOU WOULD RATHER HAVE YOUR NAILS GROW LONG AND GRACEFUL WITHOUT AND DRYING EFFECTS.
HOPE IT HELPS.

I am trying to grow my natural nails out,how can I get the left over stain of polish off, tryed sandpaper?
NEVER use sandpaper on nails. They damage and weaken your nails (yes, this includes nail files too--too many have too harsh grit on them)
I'm assuming the left over stain is of a yellow variety and that it was left over by a very dark polish. A remedy I've found that works is to soak your nails in some hydrogen peroxide and then lightly scrub then with a nail brush.
In the meantime, to protect nails from getting stained again AND to strengthen them, apply a basecoat before you polish.I am trying to grow my natural nails out,how can I get the left over stain of polish off, tryed sandpaper?
I never knew that the bleaching product existed. I bought it and on one of my nails I got a very sharp pain but it didn't last more than a few minutes. It only helped a little but I will use it again in the future.

promise me you won't ever use sandpaper again!
try using the 3 step (or more) buffers where you SLIGHTLY get rid of the very top layer of your nail-using sandpaper will take away too much and make your nails weak. you really can't get rid of the stain, because the whole nail down to the bottom layer is stained, but they do have some bleaching products that aren't too expensive (only about $6), try using one of those. Don't use any nail polish-besides clear- because sun exposure will help ';bleach'; the nail back to it's original color
here's an example of the bleaching stuff : http://www.cosmeticbag.com/cgi-bin/cm.cgi?target=sos_bleach
Best of luck!
Try toothpaste, or hydrogen peroxide. If you can't get the stain out completely, use a tinted clear polish to cover it. When you use a dark polish again, make sure you put a clear coat on before you use the color coat.
Nail polish remover??

What are some ways like homemade natural ways to make your nails grow faster?
i dont bite my nails, i use the other nails to msorta peel them off and then my nails ares shortWhat are some ways like homemade natural ways to make your nails grow faster?
I used to have soft, peeling nails so I stopped using a nail clipper and only use a nail file to shape and shorten them. I also started protecting my nails with thicker moisturizers.
I read somewhere that nail clippers can cause the layers of the nail to separate and filing is the best way to go.
I started with Revlon's disposable files made for weak nails. File in one direction only. Start on one side and file towards the middle, then go to the other side and file towards the middle of your nail. Smooth the nail into a squoval that mirrors you cuticle or the shape of the white part of your nail bed.
Finish the edges of the nail with a hindo stone, a smooth ceramic/stone nail file or the finest grit nail file you can find. You want to make the edges really smooth.
Revlon makes a tool that should work. It is a pink half moon shape and you can run it under/across the nail from side to middle.
(I have an old hindo stone but haven't been able to find a replacement at a local store. The Revlon tool might be easier for you to find.)
Also, avoid using metal nail files. I recommend using disposable nail files and changing them frequently. The fresher the grit, the less the drag which leads to tearing and peeling.
Some people swear by glass nail files but they can shatter if dropped.
I also use a cuticle balm or nail oil to moisturize my nails and protect them from water since I wash my hands frequently.
(ex. Solar Oil, OPI Avoplex)
Vit E oil, jojoba oil, Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Vaseline or plain Chapstick will work too.
Avoid products w/ formaldehyde or toluene, they are very hard on nails.What are some ways like homemade natural ways to make your nails grow faster?
Gelatin capsules can be bought at any drug store.
Eat healthy. Keep your nails trimmed and neat. File in ONE direction only (not back and forth).
Eating healthy is really the best way to improve anything physical (and emotional too). Make sure that you have enough of your dailies and you should see improvements.
Another great thing that I do (but don't know if it's just an ';Old Wives Tale';) is to tap your fingernails on something. It supposedly makes them stronger. I don't know, but I do it all the time when I'm bored and my nails are great.
it take vitamin E everyday an drink lots of milk... or prenatal vitamins will help too
I've heard about prenatal vitamins. But a great way to make your nails look white and healthy, cause sometimes peoples nails can get a yellowish color, is to soke them for 5minutes in pure lemon juice everyday. my nail tips look like I always have a french manicure! works great!!
Start taking ';Horsetail Grass'; it is very good for your nails also good for you hair also
I've hard garlic, It's suppose to make them hard. You can also dip them in milk I've heard.
