If I soak them in nail polish remover will they come off?

Clip the top of the nail as short as you can without cutting off your real nail. Then use a nail file and buff away the top layer of acrylic. Soak them in acetone for a bit and they should come right off.

No regular nail polish won't work. Especially if it's without acetone.

Use pure acetone and follow what Antonia Said. My tip is to soak for 5 mins at a time and scrap off the acrylic that softens as you go. It will be tedious but have patience and don't force it off. If you have to apply force, soak more
