Gel Removal
- Buff the shine off the surface of the nails.
- Soak nails in acetone for 15-20 minutes. You can use a cotton ball with acetone on it, place it onto the nail and wrap in a small sheet of foil or use reusable clips. For faster removal, place the acetone in a small glass bowl and set that bowl inside a larger glass bowl that is filled with warm water. Warming the remover helps to speed up this process. To further expedite the process, gently file off as much of the gel as you can before soaking.
