Ok so I'm 13 and I got my nails done about 6 weeks ago and I'm soo ready for them to come off. Two of them are really loose and some of my real nail is coming off with it and it hurts soo bad. My dad told me I couldn't have fake nails but I went out with friends and got them done anyway ( I know it was stupid) so now he won't give me money or take me to the salon to get them removed. He says it's part of my punishment for "disobeying him". Anyway, since I can't get them removed by the nail people I need to know if there is a way to take them off on my own without pulling them off because it hurts. Help please?

Another method is to soak a cotton ball in remover (completely saturate it) and use a rubber band to attach the cotton ball on top of your nail. After a few minutes they should come off. Don't force them off because you could permanently bend your nails.
