To remove geleSSe
Using the nail foils, soak the pad in acetone soak off solution. Place directly on to the nail and then wrap each nail in foil. Leave for 10 to 15 mins.
Take off one foil and scrape off the geleSSe, then continue taking off the next foil and scraping and so on…. Watch out, because if you take off all the foils at the same time, the gel will bond back to the nails.
If you take the foil off and scrape and not all the gel has soaked off, re wrap the nail and go to the next nail.. scrape, rewrap, scrape rewrap and so on.. eventually all the gel will come off without having to file the nails.
Take care to scrape the product off from cuticle towards the free egde to avoid pushing debris under cuticles and damaging them.
You can also buff the top of the nails first for quicker soak off.
If you have applied the express method, the geleSSe will soak off clean in about 5 minutes with no scraping whatsoever.
