Hello STW. There are salicylic acid solution you can buy at Walgreen. It will remove almost anything. Just be careful. You don't want to ruin your beautiful nails.How exactly do you remove gel nails without going to a salon?
It's quite painful but the best way to do it is to get a very thin metal nail file and slide it between the gel and the nail itself to pry it loose. A second or simultaneous method is to go to a beauty supply and get acetone and soak your nails in it. Although acetone will severely dry out your skin and it will take a while to break down the nail, it wont do it completely and youll still have some pulling to do.





3rd, get ahold of a dremel tool and grind them down. Not many people have dremels laying around though. Good luck.
A trick I learned from nail tech friend: place a cottonwool ball that has been soaked in acetone onto each nail. Wrap each nail in a strip of aluminum foil and let it do it's job (it will take quite a while). It will go quicker if you put your hands under a uv lamp or md heat lamp. Most of the gel will melt and get wiped away when you remove the cotton balls.
try putting them under really really reallly hot water ?





or maybe salt water ? :/





Im not sure, good luck !
