Removing nail glue from acrylic nails?

How do you remove nail glue from acrylic nails without dissolving the nails. I got some fake nails but I only had them on for 2 days. I just soaked them in warm water and they came off. Well I would like to reuse them but there is glue behind them. How do I remove the glue without dissolving the nails?Removing nail glue from acrylic nails?
You have me confused. You say that you had acrylic nails put on professionally, and the came off after only two days? By soaking them in warm water? If that's the case, then you had some really shoddy and cheap work done on them. Acrylic nails don't fall off in water when applied properly, and when top quality acrylic products are used. This 'glue' that you are talking about. Is it only by the plastic tip? I ask this because the only place that glue is used is to hold the tip on. Many people incorrectly believe that acrylic nails are somehow 'glued' on, but that could not be any further from the truth. The acrylic forms a bond with the natural nail when it hardens, and that is how they stay on your nails. Glue has nothing to do with it. And you should be able to keep them in water for a long time without anything happening to them. And no, you cannot re-use them. You'll have to pay to have a new set applied. But one piece of advice, if I may? Don't go back to the same place you went to have these applied. You will get the same lousy job done on them as you already had. Go to a good, reputable salon, and expect to pay more than just $15-$25 or so for a high quality job. With nails, you get what you pay for...Removing nail glue from acrylic nails?
lol, once the acrylic nail comes off, you can't just stick them back on; they're not those stick on nails...and you should always try and avoid water when you get your nails done professionally, to prevent them from leaking. but yea, looks like you're gonna have to go back to that place and get some new nails...
i dont think theres any way to get glue off of used nails. all i can think of is acetone but that would dissolve the nails.
try soaking in nail polish remover
try a nailpolish remover with acetone in it
