How do you remove glue from the back of glue on acrylic nails without disolving the nail?

i always buy glue on acrylic nails from places like Target and Big W and wear them for a couple of days. when i take them off, they are still in really great shape and i would like to reuse them. The only problem is they have dried glue on the back of them and don't stick very well.





is there anyway i can get rid of the glue WITHOUT dissolving the nail?





NOTE: i do not have them done professionally i glue them on myself.How do you remove glue from the back of glue on acrylic nails without disolving the nail?

The fake nails your are describing are not made of acyrlic they are a resin plastic. THey will disolve and crack if you use acetone even non-acetone. Sorry but they are a temporary thing, throw aways and only mean to be used once, maybe twice. THe build up of glue will not come off. The only think I can think of is to use a professional electric nail file but then you still run the chance of filing them to thing or cracking them. Gluing them on yourself is economical but then again is it really. Treat yourself and go get then done professionally. You won't have to worry about them for 2-3 weeks before having them filled in. Also if you do, make sure you go to a reputable professional salon not the everyday run of the mill, on every street corner nail salon. If you do you'd be better off to glue them on yourself.

  1. SANDPAPER is the answer! I've been re-using my fakes for years. Initially pick away as much as you can with something sharp (a steel nail from the toolbox works great for this), then use sandpaper. I start with "rough" paper wrapped around a pencil. Once glue bumps are removed I change to "fine" paper to smooth. Sometimes I even use the sanding tip on my Dremel. You can also achieve glue removal with a pumice stone stick though it's a little more difficult to work with unless you can find the right shape.
