How to: Correctly Remove Acrylic Nails - DO NOT BITE THEM OFF!!!

Hi Guys,
When I read the comments on these videos, sometimes I come across ones, that say something like this, "They slid a nail tip down the back of my extensions and just popped it off."
OMG! if this is your nail tech, then find a new one NOW!!!
This is the wrong way to do it, and so is biting them off. So many people have come to me in the past with ruined natural nails because they have had extensions taken off badly or have bitten them off.
Now, I have done this video several times, but I felt like I should do another updated one for you guys and any new subscribers we have AND this one also has the added bonus of showing you how I take my own nails off!
This is a long video, because it goes in depth, and also because Adam just likes the sound of his own voice.
So I hope this video really does help you as a DIYer, a client or as a tech.
Love,
Kirsty xxxx

This is the intro the long hair pretty nails show i love u

[@ForeverUnreality]

I used to go to a nail salon where they would literally force some "nippers" between the acrylic and nail plate and start to clip it till it was forced up. It hurt like nothing else and ruined my nail plate for some time. One of my natural nails even fell off thanks to the damage and I never went back to that salon again. If I do acrylic now, I do it myself thanks to these wonderful tutorials.

[@Oonagh72]

To help with removal put either Vaseline or a lotion with a petroleum base on your nail, especially under any lifted parts. It will help stop the acrylic from solidifying when the acetone dries. It helps keep your fingers and nails from getting too dry, and helps the acrylic lift off. Also when you put the acetone back on your nails put more oil.

[@JayH2003]

She's a nail tech. She knows what she's doing 😂

[@marytapia8024]

I never heard of that but definitely will. Interesting

[@CarolCao]

Not s good idea if they plan to use gels. Also I think having too much oils on your nails will make it harder to dehydrate the nails before applying the acrylic

[@doreenschnorrbusch7428]

I agree that you don't want to add extra oil on your nails if using gels, which is what I do. But it's worth a try to me because I would rather try anything that makes removing acrylic easier. I'd rather wipe my nails with extra alcohol to remove the oil because it's so much easier to do. I appreciate all new ideas.

[@noelkm67]

I don't know if you'll ever see this comment, but I have to tell you about my own accident at home. I loved your story about cutting your finger peeling a sweet potato and yelling "I have to go, Dina, because I"m blEEEding!!!" Hubby and I were playing with sparklers on the patio one holiday and he went inside for a minute. A sparkler burned my finger and I tore into the house yelling, "First aid!! First aid!!" at the top of my lungs. It was hilarious and we joke about it to this day. Love your channel even though I don't wear nail extensions. You are talented and funny and creative and you make me laugh!! Thank you for that! Tell Fay that I go "OMG!" every time I see her nails. XOXO

That was an amazing job of how taking off acrylic and everything else off by using acetone to remove everything the right way, some nail salon always using fake nail to remove the acrylic and it use to hurt my nails and I'm very sensitive to my nails. I'm learning doing my own nails. This was very helpful.

[@NoeDactyl]

Kirsty can you do a video about the speeds of the drill that you use and in which ocasions u use each??

My favorite nail is my left thumb, cause there's a large nail to design on. (I'm right handed) I'm getting so many compliments on my nails! Thank you so much for all your advice in your many vids 😘 I never dreamed I would be doing them myself. I am loving it!!!

[@aliciairis2157]

Lol I had glue ons and my nail tech took a nail tip and scraped them off and girl it HURT. I knew she was being unprofessional asf but I was gonna let her realize that I have thin weak ass nails. She ended up ripping my pinky nail off and I just sat there and watched while she panicked

[@mairwyncurtis2102]

I had a nail tech who went for the nail tip to shove it between the acrylic and natural nail. She only did it once. Believe me when I say that you could've heard a pin drop in that salon. Everyone stopped talking and ALL e-files stopped as I bellowed "NO NO NO don't ever do that. That is what you shouldn't do as you are removing natural as well as the acrylic. Practices like that is what damages the natural nail and not the actual acrylic like most seem to think so let's soak them off with acetone!" She's never done it again to another client!

[@vampirelover20]

Mairwyn Curtis any suggestions on drill bits I'm learning how to work on nails and need some drill bits

[@skyanne6827]

The place I went to last about 2 months ago, they cut off the length, and took the clipper and put it in between the acrylic and natural nail, and ripped the acrylic off. For each. individual. nail. And when I yanked away and let little groan of pain out they just yanked my hand back. So I was afraid to say anything 😩😩 it hurt so bad and destroyed my nails

[@katrindel4723]

I'm a nail tech and the worst client if I ever go to a salon. I always bring my own acrylic and monomer as well because I'm afraid of MMA acrylic 😂 I have 3 small children so doing my own isn't always an option and it's my time away.

[@tededwards4677]

Skyanne 😳 I bet that was excruciatingly painful! Sorry you had such a terrible and painful experience. Having your nails done should never hurt,in fact it's meant to be a pleasure! Find a good home/mobile tech, your next experience will hopefully be a pleasurable one x

[@anlint123]

You think that is bad. My nail tech use to use a metor card..

[@MsTtrujillo]

Where I live, every salon removes the nails by ripping them off! I have decided to remove my own before I put on another set. I wont do a fill around here either.
