removing gel polish

[Deleted]

How do you do this? Does this require going back to the salon?

Yes, In the past in a pinch I was able to jusy peel it off even though its suppose to be really bad for your nails mine were fine

I found a tutorial online where you rip a cotton swab into 10 pieces, dip each one in a little acetone and put it on your nail. You then wrap each nail in aluminum foil and wait 5-10 minutes.

It actually works... Once I took the foil off the polish was all soft and crackled, so I just did a combo of rubbing the cotton swab to get it off and scratching the rest off with my nail. Works surprisingly well.

Yup, just Google it. Lots of tutorials available! Someone asked about this not too long ago too, so you may wanna do a search here as well.

That's how the nail salon I go to does it too.

I also used 1 cotton ball, soaked it in 100% acetone, and placed the ball on top of each nail, which I then wrapped it in foil. Left it on for 15-20 mins, and gaged the progress. Can't remember how long I left them on for, but it wasn't much longer than that and they came right off like polish.

This is the process I use too. One hand at a time. Don't waste your money going to the salon.
