I stand corrected...There are some cases in which tips should be used because sculpting would not be appropriate in some isolated cases. Maybe I should word it a bit differently? Any nail technician who uses tips exclusively for the application of gel and/or acrylic nails is very limited in their ability to do nails because - in MY opinion, practically anyone can do nails with tips. Sculpting is a skill, one that requires advanced training, and a lot of practice to master. Conversely, a person can be taught to use tips and create a halfway decent - though not perfect, set of nails in a matter of only a day or two. Unfortunately there are a lot of nail techs who go to nail school, and never go any further than that in terms of continuing education. Those same techs are the ones who do nails the same way every time no matter what. I've seen cases where a tech may have been doing nails for 15-20 years, and they are still using the exact same methods they were taught in school. While this may be OK for some people, the problem, as I see it, is that many if not most nail schools have instructors that aren't really qualified to be teaching nails in the first place. Many people who teach in nail schools are very limited in their abilities, and as a result, their students leave school with few skills, and too often they are taught improper techniques as well. And way too often nail programs place a great deal of emphasis on the state boards and teach their students only what is required in order to pass them. This means spending much of your time on things such as proper sanitation and disinfection. Yeah, that's all fine and dandy, but where is the 'beef'??? Where is the instruction and hands on training for the proper application of nails? I hear it time and time again from new technicians fresh out of school. They so often say that they didn't learn how to do nails while in school. And why not? Because many schools are concerned with a high pass rate on the state boards so that they can show high numbers in that area that they can use to attract new students by implying their training is successful because hey, we have a very high pass rate so we are obviously a good school- wrong...This only benefits the schools while the students leave the programs with a very limited amount of ability to do what they went to school for in the first place - to do nails. Nuff said, Ummm, I'm rather opinionated when it comes to these sort of things, I guess, LOL...
As a side note: Anyone who is familiar with my answers will know that I have had a little, um, 'fun' here and there just to see what kind of reaction I would get from people. Its really kind of funny to see that when I post a totally incorrect answer like ';Oh, just tear them off';, or like ';oh yes, its very normal to be in pain after getting your nails done'; LMAO...Yet, I've gotten the thumbs up more often than not with these answers. But, telling people the right way to do things often results in many thumbs down since so many people are uneducated in this area and do not like to be told that they are wrong. Ah well, I found it interesting anyway, lol.How can you take off fake acrylic nails without buying stuff to take them off with?
haha cattygrl..I seem to be following you around. Are you a nail tech too?
I agree with most of what you say except for the last sentence, I generally sculpt, but sometimes it is necessary to use tips if the client has the type of nails that you just cant fit a form on. A true professional knows how to do both tips and scuplts, they know what application is needed for each individual.
As to the rest of the posters, are you guys chemists? you know the chemical make up of the products used? and how to break that chemical link that will remove the product from her nails?
Water can break down a lot of things but there is no way it will completely break the cross linking polymerization that has happened in acrylic nails.
Soaking your nails in acetone is really the only safe and least damaging way to remove acrylic nails. Go to a salon that does this and you will find that they will also (in the price of the soak off) provide you with a mini manicure.How can you take off fake acrylic nails without buying stuff to take them off with?
The best way to take them off is with fingernail polish remover. You just have to let them soak..this is going to take some time. Depending on how old they are, if they are older than 2 weeks you should be able to lift them off by clipping around them. Be careful you nails will be very weak after you remove them.
You pick at them slowly bit by bit. Also suck them in water and pick them off there. I know you dont want to buy anything so if you have nail polish remover you can soak your nails in there then continue to pick them off.
Try sticking your hands in warm water. Let them sit there a bit, a few minutes then slowly peeling them off. But it depends, if you used a lot of glue they may not come off.
Acetone doesn't work on acrylic,you have to soak your nails in non acetone remover and they will come off with no damage
you can take them off yourself..but you will still have acrylic on your nails..and sometimes its painful and parts of the nail comes off.....
u could rip them off but it might jack up your nails pretty bad.
try soaking them in nail polish remover, that usually works.
hot water and pulling them off but that damages you own nails. the best way is to soak them off in normal acid tone...
soak in hot watr and slowly aftr long soaking piece off nail
i use to rip mine off.
it didnt really hurt. :D
