[@EveryoneLovesDobby]

I’m glad you said this, the last time I got my acrylics, the people taking it off were so rough and my real nail split off really low so I was in pain for weeks. But then again I think they were really rough in applying them as well, if only I could get my acrylics done properly 😭

[@chelseacampbell3157]

Where were you when I got my nails done the place I went to (the only place I can go) butchered my nails by popping the acrylic off and then buffing them to put new on and it got so bad I had to quit getting my nails done because they did such damage to my natural nails. You're amazing!!!

[@Lisa13245]

had a salon shove a tip under to try and get the nail off i told them no because it's not good for the nail and to soak it. so they soaked but then started again to pry it off. i'm trying to find somewhere else to get removals.

[@meganharrold6427]

I’ve been to a salon that pushed a nail in the back of the other to pry my nail off and the lady ripped my nail and my natural nail split Down the middle and it started bleeding and was painful I wish I would have taken a picture of it but I forgot and now I refuse to get acrylic nails cause I have no nail salons around here that are like Kirsty

[@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.

[@NaioNailsOfficial]

Good choice! That is not a good way to preserve nail health :(

[@sarahe9710]

I need to remove my nails, but my nailady buffed them on top so much so im very scared they are going to be too thin and sensitive :(

[@JulieWallis1963]

Sarah Elise I’m the same. So I’m currently growing them out. I managed to cut the tips of my nails down to as short as they could go so now I’m left with fingers that are half natural from the bottom to the middle and acrylic from the middle to the tip. It looks a mess, but I’ve had my natural nails filed so much I dare not go completely naked.

[@andreamozo7655]

They probably used MMA if they buffed your nail that much.

[@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 😂

[@Elenkoism]

JayTheBirdFlyZ to be fair, you can always learn new things

[@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.

[@kathleenpapenfuss7561]

how often do you take them completely off? Every time? or 3 months? 6 months?

[@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.

[@danielamagalhaes7737]

Why don't you let them soak for a full 20 mins instead, saves u re-wrapping the nails, works the same way, it's just less hassle :)

I can't tolerate not having nails on anymore. The rare few times that I have soaked off my nail extensions, my nail beds feels very cold sensitive and bare. I can't stand the feeling. I think I will have nails on for life 😋 Thanks for the video! You're natural nails are beautiful and healthy underneath.

[@victoriadiaries9087]

Or just soak them in 100% acetone and use a wooden nail stick to scrape it off

[@jacquelinebennett]

I had acrylics once and I ended up getting a job that had strict regulations about nails because it was the food industry and I had to get them removed and the place I went to ripped them off. I was mortified because I had educated myself about acrylics before getting them done and knew that was a big no no but because I had to have it done on such short notice I let her finish taking them off but then promptly stood and left without paying because she wanted 20+ dollars just for removing them and tried forcing other services on me. maybe that was wrong of me to do but I was just so mortified and shocked and honestly outraged that a professional establishment didn't do their job right I refused to give them anything for what they did. thankfully my nails went undamaged but OMG it's terrifying. Seriously if they try to rip off your acrylics just get up and leave and run very far away...

[@hellokittybg93]

I love when you post long videos!!!

[@pepsimax4me]

Adam, when can we see your face? Don't be shy 😊

[@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

Okay so my manicurist never soaks my nails in acetone. She just files it right off. Is that the best way to do this?? I want to know what to do here. Please help.

[@tinayeager7267]

Sassy Pants Makeup hi, it is best to soak off just as Kirsty has shown us but you can file them as long as your nail is not damaged. Hard gels have to be filed off.

[@beachessandfire5598]

There's some really good nails tecs out there but there's also some butchers. I met one . When I had tips on I banged the front of the nail tip causing a crack right across the natural nail . I wanted the tips removed as my own nails had grown under the tips . All went well until the woman came to the damaged nail . Hands dipped into acetone . Raw wound and acetone don't mix . Pain was awful , then came the drill 😣 God knows how my nails survived the treatment but they did . I have now found a brill nail tech that knows what he's doing. I have acrylic overlay and that's it . May nails are a good inch long . 🙄

[@ElenaSchu]

My ring finger is my favourite nail as well, closely followed by the pinky 😂

[@NailszbyYarytma]

It probably takes her about that amount of time also. They just have to edit down the videos quite a bit. I mean, I love Kirsty, but I don't know if I would watch a two-hour video on taking off acrylic nails hehe!!

[@Mrsmajick]

How long do you take

[@doreenschnorrbusch7428]

I agree, I couldn't sit & watch a 2 hr video. There are some things that can't be rushed. They can be done more efficiently & less damaging but there's no easy way to remove acrylics! I agree, approximately 2 hours!

[@unicornkitteh5332]

But what speed do you put the efile on to remove that much bulk? Something like this would take me forever to do! I think it may be my file, trying to get a new one this year. However, some other professionals in a FB group have said to put it on full speed ? Every educator always says to never do this, and do no more than half speed, but then the argument is why make a drill with 30,000 rpms if you're never going to use anything over 15,000?

[@Cut_Throat_Girl]

High speed just causes more heat and friction that can burn through to the natural nail and the client. It's better to use more abrassive heads rather than go full speed.

[@christinamatzen4214]

Unicorn Kitteh - that's exactly right. They make insanely fast drills and charge hundreds and people buy them because they think bigger is better, when one that goes to 15-20K rpm for $115 is all you need
