You can google "Plastic Razor Blade" and get some good returns.

Fake nails have blunt edges while real nails have sharper edges and varying thickness. Just guessing, but you might want to try taking a nail file and file the edges from "underneath" just slightly to create a sharper edge. (You don't want to muss up the purty nail polish on top, right? ;-) )
With the sharper edge you can then use your new nails as tools, aka scrapers, to be able to peel the film off. The sharper edge should be just enough to wedge under the film.

Dee,
My shop is a couple doors down from a nail shop. I'll have them done and experiment for you. I'll get back to you. Do you think candy apple red would be a good color on me? >.<

David,
I think that might be a bit too drastic. Why don't you try fuchsia? Make sure you get square tips not round. As Kathy noted it will take a day or two to get used to them.
I will be anxiously awaiting your test results. You could be the guy responsbile for changing the way women in the engraving work force appear. A hero you would be! On top of that maybe Peter would get a good back scratching! You would then be a double hero!

I liked the ideas of the square tips, but just couldn't decide on color, so I went crazy. Do you like?

David,
All I see is a red x in a box. I think your link is bad. My fingers are crossed that you will get it fixed.

He probably just mistyped, I bet it's hard to type with long nails for the first time :O

O.k., I have been out of town for a few days and just got back and read this. I have been a nail technician for years. I quit to do laser work. You can learn to do anything with nails, you just have to figure out new ways for some things. I will give you a few tips.
To peel off a thin layer of anything, I find it best to get a thin tool with a sharp edge and keep it around. If you use your nail and scrape it over something too many times, you will find that the acrylic will start to wear down, making your artificial nail a little misshapen.
To open a can of pop, bend your index finger and use the side of your finger.
To undo your seatbelt, bend your index finger and and push the joint into the seat belt.
Don't open car doors with your finger tips---there will come a time that your fingers slip and it really does a number on you. I have seen a real nail taken off half way down into the nail bed. Not only is that bloody and ugly, it is painful!
Don't use your nails as tools. They are super strong, but sometimes if you hit them in just a right way, they will break, and you know how expensive they are! I even use mine as screw drivers, but then I do them myself.

Dee,
I have had 3 ladies work for me with the acrylic nails, I just give them a "screen printers" squeegee (clean) and they rub it across a corner and it peels a little bit of the plastic up so you can grab it with your fingers. This process will not scratch or harm any surface, in fact, it does not even harm the squeegee.
;-)
hth,

Having had the pleasure of meeting you and Kathy, I truly believe you are one of the few couples I know that can live and work together 24/7 and never have too much of each other! B-)
