Acrylic nails - To fill or remove?

Its been awhile since Ive had them but got them not long ago...Ive gotten 2 fills and Im way over due for one now...Im thinking I should take them off? Do the people that fill them..Can they remove them also...How much do you think....Acrylic nails - To fill or remove?
If your nails are not lifting you can get them filled most of the shops now a days will try and set you up with a new set an accomplished nail tech can save anything. Remember nails are dead and with good care acrylics never need to be removedAcrylic nails - To fill or remove?
Are you an active person? Most women in my family have had acrylic nails thanks to an aunt being a nail technician. Mine lasted all of 9 months - I finally gave them up when I tore real nail and fake nail halfway down nailbed. That hurt something fierce! The thing is the acrylics are so much harder than real nails there's no give...had there been just a real nail, damage wouldn't have been nearly enough. My mother and another aunt bowl on a regular basis...my mom eventually gave up her acrylics because she's break them frequently while bowling and that was never pleasant. Anyway, I could go on and on with that.





If you want them removed, the people who put them on can also take them off. Or you could do it yourself (I chose that option...by grabbing clippers and just ridding myself of them). They are too time and money consuming to keep them up. And if you don't keep them up it looks horrible.
rip em offff
Ive had acrylics for over 2 years. If you still have the acrylics on keep them there, they can shape and fill them back up, it's an easy thing to do. If you rather have new ones on then the manicurist can remove them (sometimes they need to be soaked in acetone that manicurists stock) which can easily remove the nail without causing any pain or ruin your growth. For me a fill is $35, for a new set in french is $60, but depending on where you are prices vary.
They can remove them. I could vary by where you are, but where I go the charge $10 for removal. You can go to Wal Mart in the nail polish section and find a bottle of acetone (its EXACTLY what they'll use) and do it yourself. The bottle I had was called ';tips be gone'; and was like $3. The best method is to put a bowl of hot water down and the another bowl with the acetone inside it. This will help activate the acetone so it'll melt the actylic. Make sure you use porcelain or glass bowls only, cause it'll melt thru anythin else. The acetone shuold start to melt and just wipe away little by little and put nails bak into the stuff until itts all gone. You may have to cahnge the stuff once or twice.
Remove them; acrylic isn't good for you real nails - it will make them weak %26amp; thin.


I think it cost about $10 to have them removed. Mostly they just have you soak them in acetone, %26amp; then they clip at them. You can really do it yourself; that way you can be at home %26amp; you won't be as rough as they are.
