I was thinking of that. All I have is non acetone right now. I'm thinking of clipping them off and just getting a manicure when they open Tuesday. It's REALLY annoying now. To the point that I'm going OCD about them

That is what I was thinking too... When I removed mine, the nail underneath was sooooo thin, I needed to clip them really short.

I used to go to one of those cheap nail salons, but I got a really nasty infection from one of those. Turns out that they used substandard glue. Now I go to a reputable salon and pay about $10-20 more.

I have used a toe nail clipper to clip them off and used a metal nail file to wedge in between the "nail" and my nail and it will somewhat just pop off. Your nail underneath will be flimsy and it will be better just to cut your real nail and start fresh.

Maybe a little WD40 or rubbing alcohol? Gasoline is good at removing adhesives but I wouldn't recommend it.

I finally got them all off. I found a bottle of acetone nail polish remover. Using that and toenail clippers, and alot of tedious picking, I got them off... I am SOOOO gonna need a manicure now
But at least I got them off
