The Ugly Side of Pretty Nails

3 months in and I have finally taken off my acrylics.  Oh man.  I spent the whole day trying to figure out the best techniques to take these suckers off without damaging my real nails too badly.  I remember at the nail salon, the lady used 1 fake acrylic nail to take them off so I tried to look for something that was close to it.
Here it is: 
Yes.  I know what you're thinking.  What the heck... a folder tab?!?!.o_O? 
Dude it did the job and when parts of it started bending, you can just cut it off to make it brand new again.

Here's the aftermath.  My thin, brittle, short, damaged nails.  Don't worry nails I'll take care of you~
I hope I don't start biting them again.  Wish me luck~
