you can pull them off. but i ADVISE you not to. Cuz your nail will be pull off as well. Your natural ones at least.
If you're totally deperstate for them to come off. Get a nail clipper and clip them off. Done deal. I usually rip them off and dont use nail polish for a month or so. Then its okay again. Whatever. Or you can wait until they just..fall off.
just got my nails dun
and not even 1 hour later, i ruined one finger
ugh
lol
all ur nails look great!

^ my favorite simple design 
i think its easy to do since you dont have to be so perfect with the colored part and its easy to cover it up and make it look nice using the silver line

my mommy came in and asked if those were fake nails or my real nails,
these are my real nails, you can probably tell since some of them are short since they broke off,
and you see on my tumb nail is liek whiteish, that has nothing to do with my nail polish, its because i did my nails outside too much with the acrylic tips that it ruined my real nail =x

mmitsjojo >> I LOVE YOUR NAILS! It's gorgeous... but will the pearls on it drop off like within days?
nope because when i put the stuff on, the nail polish is what makes it stay on, then after im done putting it all on, i use nail glue and run through it then use tissue to soak up the excess glue. then when im done with all fingers, i use nail harderner clear polish to go over it, if i dont my nails are super weak, they've always been so thats why i always try to do something to my nails (ex: polishing) it so it doesn't break, i think the cause of my weak nails was that when i was younger i always bite my nails which caused my weak nails or maybe i just dont have enough "calcium" which can help weaker nails to become more stronger? :x
mmitsjojo - your heart pearl isn't flat sided? it looks like its totally 3d and u just stuck it on? nonetheless good job =)
^ it is probly flat on one side, but the nail is not flat..
i did my nails last week.. ahaha weird colors mhh?!
Wow, so many pretty nails! =]
It's best to go to a nail salon and ask for a soak-off. They'll either let you soak your nails in a bowl of nail polish remover or pure acetone. It's healthier than just pulling off the nail because that would damage your nails even more than soaking. A soak off is all I can think of that's the best possible way to take them off. Were your nails damaged a whole lot after taking the nails off w/ nail polish remover before..? Usually, they shouldn't mess up too much. Just make sure to wash your hands well after doing it.
Except..I'm not sure..Are you talking about like..Acrylic nails or the glue on nails?

i think they use any kind of nail polish..opi would be a good brand.
the powder that makes it shiny may be the acrylic powder. like when they dip the brush in a liquid then they dip it into a powder ..
after it is applied on your nail they buff it and put another polish or gel on it..maybe the uv gel... and that's what makes it shiny.
however, my sister is currently in cosmotology school..and she says that the uv gel's aren't done by many salons..if there are salons that do them, only one person does the manicure with the real uv gel.
so the gel they usually use are like fake uv-gels. they're just plain acrylic powder to look like uv gel manicures
some gels do come in powder too, but i haven't seen them use them....and the powdered gel would function like the uv gel...
and yeah.. the nails even if they are regular acrylic manicures, they should be treated and dried with a uv-light..didn't know that until my sister told me...!
i think that's why when i went to do my manicure, you dry you nails under a lamp, and i think the lamp is a uv light!

wow youre a VERY BIG HELP!!! thank you soo much...
and another thing... is the acrylic that the nail artist uses id also the same with the acrylic paint that you buy in your regular bookstores?
^sure no prob. i'm not sure about that..
i do know that the acrylic paint you would purchase at a book store..when it hardens..its more rubbery...
the acrylic the nail artists use..it hardens like plastic because of the chemical they use to dip the brush in..when it mixes with the acrylic powder, it changes the content of the acrylic...
then again..they probably are different...
i think its different because whats in the acrylic depends on how its is being used.. acrylic paint for just painting on canvas and on non-fleshy objects..and acrylic nail powder is made for putting on fleshy objects..

i used a thin brush to do the purplish color,
then i used clear nail polish to make the rhinestone and the pearl heart stay on
after i finished putting on everything i one nail i used nail glue to run them over to make them intact, then i used a tissue to soak up the excess glue.
after i finished gluing all the rhinestone and pearls on, i used nail hardener.
i just watched the ladies in the nail salon do my nails so basically i just learned by watching. its really easy but takes time and patience.

ur nails are yellowing????....so was that you natural nails....or were they fake???....if its your natural nails...then did you put on a base coat??...cuz the main reason that you put on a base coat is becuase it keeps from your nails yellowing...though after putting on polish..esp a really dark color... fro a really long time like..months..it will cause some yellowing ...but if your nails are fake...then something is not right because fake nails should NEVER cause your nail to yellow
