ok so i have had acrylic nails on since september 2009 and i finally took them off today! i really hate the look of long natural nails so i normally kept my acrylics fairly short, to look quite natural. anyway i was getting really fed up with the peeling on the edges and they didn't work very well with my job...
so i got some pure acetone and decided to soak them off...this was a bit of a fail. i am really impatient and i was meant to soak them in acetone for 30-60 minutes to get them off...i didn't. i soaked them for like 15 minutes then peeled/picked/filed them off and ended up ripping my right thumb nail and it bled and still really hurts...i guess it serves me right for not being patient. BUT i am trying to grow them out so i can wear them short and just have nice nails and not pay $35 every fortnight to get my acrylic nails refilled. I think it will take around 2 months for my nails to be completely grown out and back to usual so i can't wait!! they are really weak right now and kind of hurt when i push on them... :(
i have just put 2 coats of OPI top coat on them for a bit of strengthening :)
