The three layers are still thin, so the soak off is fine. Quick is 5-10 minutes. I do the steps Rhonda posted and I also drop on some cuticle oil first and dip in Paraffin after. By the time the Paraffin is cooled off enough to work with I start taking off one nail at a time. I do the same with Shellac and Gelish and the Maniq Color comes off better then Gelish about the same as Shellac. A little more flake off then dissolved off. The consistency of Maniq color is not like the Maniq overlay gel (not rubbery at all!) The consistency is more like Shellac. The colors rock!
I have one client that usually wears Axxium, and she tried a Maniq Color, so I put a layer of the Maniq Overlay gel under the color, because the Axxium is thicker and I didn't want her to have trouble getting used to a thinner polish. She will be in again soon, so we will see how it soaks off. I am sure it will be just fine. Maybe a few extra minutes for the overlay gel.
