They are supposed to remove them by soaking your nails in pure acetone. The acrylic softens and then you can scrape the softened acrylic right off, its not supposed to hurt at all. I have had them soaked off before, it just cost like $5-$10 depending on your nail salon.
Next time just tell them you want them soaked off & if they don't know what your talking about then you shouldnt go there. They probably did it that way bc they were busy & its fast, but its super damaging to your nails not to mention painfull and getting your nails done should never be painful. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
