It's not easy but yes. When you're finished with it get some acetone nail varnish, soak cotton wool pads with it, put on nails and wrap toes /nails with kitchen foil (to stop evaporation). Leave for 10 minutes. Should scrape off. Repeat if necessary.

You can but it's an absolute faff and you won't get as good a result as when it's done by a pro.
Removal is normally a pretty nominal fee of around £5-7 in a salon, well worth it.

Go to a salon for it removing. When I was a nail tech so many people damaged their nails trying to remove it themselves. Its like a fiver and so worth it lol

Nail varnish remover I meant, not nail varnish. And yes it does damage your nails!
