I've had them on for about a month, and they're still going strong. lol. How can I take them off without damaging my real nails too much?

Soak them in nail Polish, or you can get them soaked out in a nail salon. Be careful though if you try to take it out and it's not ready it can really mess up your nail.

They're going to mess up your nails regardless. I always go get them taken off and the nail shop tho

Cut them as low as you can (watch out for cutting your own nails) and soak them in acetone. Take a cotton ball & soak it in the acetone and apply to your nails then wrap it with aluminum foil. It starts dissolving it and you can just scrape it off. It can be an annoying process but just be patient :)

Thanks guys. I think maybe I should leave them on a little longer and go to the nail shop to get them removed.

You can put nails polish remover and the wrap it around foil paper for a while and they will come off by themselves without hurting.

Acetone destroys your cuticles btw, which is why when I go to the nail shop I just have the take them straight off instead of soaking them
