I have fake nails

You can soak them off yourself if you have acetone but it's a PITA. Regular nail polish remover won't do it.

I just go to the place and have them take them off.

DON"T PEEL THEM OFF.

Soak them in accetone.

Removing them is an awful experience either way, but you should probably go in and have them removed. They won't just break off on their own. They need to be grinded down or peeled/chipped/popped off. Either way your natural nails will likely be fucked for a couple of months.

I agree!! You will destroy your nails if you try yourself.

Go to the salon and get them taken off.

Don't do what I do, which is grow them out and then snap them off.

But I regularly wear acrylics.

I should have ever gotten them in the first place, right?? Now I'm scared!

Don't worry, they're just nails. They'll be fine again soon.

If you wanted to keep them, they can fill in the area where they've grown out. I find they come off easier if you've had them filled a couple times. But if you want to get rid of them, yeah, go to the salon and have them taken off.

How will this be PITA?

Becuase it will take forever. The salons have the tools to do it and it goes much faster.

Go to a place that will soak and file.

Go to a soak and file place.

[poppyseed]

Get them removed, don't do it yourself.

[Mrs.Beagle]

Mine last about 2 weeks until they start looking obvious, but I can go 3 weeks without any of them breaking.

I have them cut incredibly short, though, so they don't ever get really long.
