How do I get acrylic nails off at home?

[Rosbeet]

Without acetone?

I'm having am eczema flair up on my hands that has spread to my nail bed so cannot use acetone.

They've grown out a lot and I don't want to get them redone.

I think if you can’t use acetone you have to file them off. Not sure if you can do it with an ordinary file at home though.
I have only ever had mine done once and the removal process was brutal so I didn’t go back.

You’d need an e-file, you can get them on Amazon.

Can I just use a dremel?

I would think a dremmel be too fast and attachments to rough. Could cause some serious damage.

Just pop into the salon and get them to do it as you'll have glue all
Underneath and won't look great afterwards

In theory you could use a dremel if you had a very very fine bit and could adjust the speed slow enough - but only to de-bulk, then you could hand file the rest if you uave a decent file.

But both of the above are risky if you don't know what you're doing, you could injure yourself quite easily. Book in to a salon for professional removal OP, don't risk hurting yourself when your skin is already in trouble!

I've filed mine off before with a course nail file to begin with, then gentler as I got nearer the nail. Takes ages though.

Your nails will be grim underneath, and weak until they grow out.

With massive difficulty! I honestly can’t see how to do it without acetone to help dissolve the glue / the nail. Even with acetone at home, I’ve found it incredibly laborious and honestly, painful. The time and hassle involved, I’d really recommend going for removal at the place you got them done. Not the advice you were looking for but as someone who’s tried it at home (and with acetone) I can’t recommend it in any way, shape or form!

I've bitten them off, I couldn't go to the salon.
nails are a bit wrecked but I honestly don't care
I've other stuff going on and it's the last thing on my mind right now.

Ohh that's hardcore, well done.

Once you've got these nails off its worth avoiding anything artificial for a while. Give your nails/skin a break. Treat yourself to some nice products (e.g. CND Solar Oil) and look after your own nails.

My daughter has bitten them off in the past.

Yea once they start lifting at the edges it's easy to bite them off. Then file/buff the rough bits down.
