Yes nail polish remover will remove acrylic nails easily.
Just pour some nail polish remover into a bowl and then soak your acrylic nails in the nail polish remover for 5 or 10 minutes and they should come off.
If not then you may need to soak your acrylic nails in the nail polish remover a bit longer but the nail polish remover will remove the acrylic nails with ease.
You can also remove acrylic nails with the nail polish remover and some cotton balls.
Soak cotton balls in the nail polish remover and then place the cotton balls on the tips of your fingers and then wrap the cotton balls tightly against the acrylic nails using some strips of aluminum foil.
Then leave the cotton balls with the nail polish remover on your acrylic nails for at least 30 minutes and that should remove the acrylic nails.
Or you can have a salon remove the acrylic nails easier for around $10.00 to $20.00 which isn't too bad of a deal.
