Angela, I have been using ecos soak off product for my shelllac gals, it has oils in it to help w the dehydration of the acetone. I can say it has made a differance w the white spots.
I also have given my shallac clients small cuticle oils to use daily per Holly she said daily use will hydrate the exposed natural nail and help in time as the nail grows out. But we know how faithful clients are about home maintance right. So that's when I swiched to the eco soak off. It takes me about 13 mins from start to finish w removal before I start the new service. I use foil n cotton, and then pull the light from my table down just a bit for more heat. Hope this helps Kelley Marie On Sep 29, 2010 9:53 PM, "Angela R Wingerter" <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a client that has been wearing Shellac for 4 weeks now.
