I haven't tried any other acetone other then Sally's I have noticed that if I soak off in a bowl rather then the cotton and foil it's taking longer to get off. When I use the cotton and foil everything comes off in minutes.

That is interesting that you found Sally's acetone to not work. I only buy my acetone from Sally's and I can soak off my Gelish in five minutes. I do not use the cotton ball method; I soak using Nailite cups IF I soak off. It takes polish so fast, even the glittery ones. Been using it for over ten years. Anyone else have a problem with Beauty Secrets acetone? Buenos dias! Lynnette Diaz-Madden www.facebook.com/nailtech www.salon29.net Salon 29-where pampering and personal attention is on its way!

Second question, are you using Gelish Foundation for your base, if so, are you applying it extrememly thin and scrubbing it into the nail? It should be so thin that the nail does not look smooth. In my experiences, priming the entire nail and applying Foundation too thick are the major reasons why Gelish will not soak off easily. Also, make sure you are using a good, quality acetone. We purchased acetone from Sally's and it was crap, was like using water. I order my acetone from The Industry Source or Premiere Beauty Supply and have no issues. Are you using the foil and cotton method? If so, make sure you are really soaking the cotton ball and wrapping the foil with the shiny side to the nail and wrapping tightly. I hope this information helps!!
