Hello Friends, I hope you have all had a good day : ) I had my first soak off with Gelish today. I used bits and pieces of everyone's techniques which really helped. When I saw that Cyndi had written ((( 5 ))) minutes to soak ... I thought no way!!!! After all... I had soaked my own for 15 minutes after filling half the product off. Also I could swear that an educator said that SOG does not re-harden like acrylic. Well..... Cyndi is right!!!! It was amazing how much better the Gelish was after only 5 minutes vs 15 !!!! I wish I could give you a big hug Cyndi!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad I decided to peak inside the foil after 5 minutes!!!! The Gelish had "popped up" so to speak just beautifully, unlike after 15 minutes. I won't embarrass myself by telling you how long it took me to do the soak off and reapply!!! lol Okay.... I will tell you.... 2 HOURS!!!!!!! Pretty please someone tell me that it isn't just me!!!!!!! For those of you who can do the whole "shebang" in 45-60 minutes... this will surely crack you up!!! I am going to also find my soaking dishes to try it the old fashioned way as some have suggested, as well as other steps. And practice,practice,practice my speed!!! I'm still taking suggestions by the way!!! lol Hugs To All~ Della In a message dated 9/29/2010 1:48:45 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi Della, I use the foil and cotton with acetone to remove Gelish from the natural nails. I make sure the foil is tightly folded and let it sit for 5 minutes. I notice that if it sits longer, it re-hardens. I prep one nail at a time so by the time I prep one nail the next is ready for removal. It takes me about 45 minutes for removal/re-app. I never put a file to the nail bed-only a buffer. I have never done a refill on Gelish. How long does it take you for a Gellish fill?
