Ugggggh!!!

Does anyone know how to remove artificial nails? I tried soaking them in acetone nail polish remover, but it's just not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?

BEST way....
take 1 large bowl w/ hot water, put in a small bowl filled with pure acetone (not acetone polish remover) and soak in the acetone.

Obviously, make sure the large bowl isn't so full that the hot water mixes w/ the acetone.

I had heard of this method on here, and had it done at my nail salon and it workks best. Most important, patience.

that's really the bet thing for it. It takes a while. If you can, put hot water-really hot-in a bowl and in a smaller bowl, put the acetone-if can be PURE acetone (get it from Sally Beauty)- and put that bowl in the other bowl (to warm up the acetone-it works better and faster) then soak nails for 15-20 minutes. Also pick up an orangewood stick (they use them at the nail salons-wooden stick-can get at sally also) and scrape the nails while soaking them. It works, but it takes a while and this is really the only way. Goodluck!

agreed. You have to soak them. It is really the best way.
