Here's the real reason for this note...I put the Shellac on a clients toes and over her acrylics last week to see how she's like it now how the hell am I supposed to get it off her nails when she has acrylics on and I can't very well put her toes in a dish to remove it? I guess I can drill her nails to death and do those 1st while I put tones of acetone in foil on her toes before her pedicure huh? What do you all suggest? Thanks and I am really enjoying all your comments suggestions and support for each other...So Glad I found this group by mistake!!! WHOO HOO!

I keep going everything in my mind as to what I could have done differently. I admit I was feeling a little discouraged, but your notes give me hope!!! And Angie...definitely see what happens after only 5 minutes. I was shocked! I will be doing it on one of my own nails just to see if her nails vs mine vary in soak off time. Also I used acetone from Walmart vs Sally's this time.... so I will have to do 2 of my nails.... 1 with Walmart brand and 1 with Sally's. lol Debbie... I really put lots of acetone on! I think that helped too!!!! Thanks to everyone who mentioned the old soak off method and not being able to find my soak off dishes.. I assumed this meant I needed lots and lots of acetone : ) Big Hugs!!!!!!! Della In a message dated 9/30/2010 11:13:02 P.M.

When I first started with Shellac, it took an hour and a half to get the product soaked off a client's hands and feet. I was SO frustrated! Now that I've been doing it a while, by the time I get the last finger wrapped, the first finger is released and ready. Same with feet. I find it helps to use plenty of acetone...don't skimp on it. Don't get frustrated...time really does help you get faster at it. Shellac does seem to be the fastest, but the others (Eco and Gelish) are very close. It's SO worth the time to learn...all 3 (that I've tried) are awesome products. Keep at it.

I am still very slow and need to work on my time. Have your supplies ready ahead of time. Like your foils cut with cottonballs ready to go. I will have to try five minute soaks.

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?
