It costs £15 to get acrylic nails taken off at a salon. I can't afford.
Can I take them off myself?
Or do I have to leave them on until they grow out and just keep filing them down xxxx
Thanks

Yeah. cut them short and file them down a bit. you just soak them in acetone for like 15 mins. then filw again. continue until it comes off. the salon will do the same thing anyway.

Honestly I just bit my last ones off. I know that sounds horrible, but it was working faster than the acetone. Mine had been on for a little over a month though at that point so they came off easier.
