Hi Nora:
I have been using Gelac and Shellac. Soak off time is suppose to be 10 minutes for each of them. The Gelac I file before soaking and after 10 minutes it is still not off, I have to scrape it with an orangewood stick. I also have put the wrapped fingers in a plastic bag and then place in heated aromatherapy mitts for 10 minutes still doesn't come off easily, it does scrape off nicely though. Clients love the warm mitts too. With Shellac I purchased the wraps and used per instructions, tucked in plastic bag and into the heated mitts -- it came off with just a couple of pieces that actually lifted off easily -- have also had some luck with the small bits left on easily coming off with acetone on a coarse gauze and gently rubbing off. However, I'm still not getting a full 2 weeks out of either application -- Shellac lasting better than Gelac and with less cracking. I'll be very interested to see what other have to say. Gelac polish used with Shellac base and top coat lasts better than straight Gelac. Using Shellac base and top and Shellac polish it hasn't been lasting as long as Shellac base and top with Gelac polish -- go figure. Pat. Pat.

Could you comment on some of your soak off times for the different brands you use - which do you find the easiest to soak off? I just used the soak off gels from nailite (in pots) and ended up filing them off because they wouldn't budge. Thought I would also try the GIA in bottles if they are easier to soak off. I've tried Gelish, Shellac and Mani-Q. Thanks for any help -- (sorry to the person I think I sent this to privately).
