I've been really busy lately that I haven't gotten the chance to go to a nail salon to remove my acrylic nails..
Any ideas on how I can remove them myself?

Soak them in acetone

You can get 100% pure acetone remover at walmart pour some in a dish.. Cut any extra nail then soak for 10 to 15 mins and take somthing like a scoop and remove the acrylic.that is now back to a gell texture.

What they said above is true. You just have to make sure it's 100% acetone (not nail polish remover) also - you have to soak them for a WHILE. Pulling them out of the acetone to check every couple minutes will just harden them again making the process start all over. Hope I helped :)

Make sure that when you are done you wash your hands thoroughly and moisturize. Acetone can be very drying.

Did you scrape at it? Acrylic will dissolve in acetone, and shouldn't have left any marks or major damage.

**shouldn't have left any damage as long as you just let it dissolve. Don't ever try and scrape it off.

I think this might be because they buffer your nails before applying acrylic. so you should just buffer it a little smoother and then use base coat. this needs to grow out :/

Keesha I used to do that too but it damages your nails.

My nails looked like that after removing aryclic also. It's just the damage that is caused by getting your nails done that way
