I bought these nail guards to easily remove my nail dip application, hoping it would be easier on my nails than acetone and take less time to remove. Well, the application was a little tricky. Definitely a learning curve. It was hard getting them on smoothly, especially using my non-dominant hand. Another thing I did not like was the fact that I had to file the tip of the guards off. This then took length off my nail, which I really did not want to happen. Also, it did take a while to remove. I used Uni-Solve to help with the removal. It was a slow process. They did not just pop off. Then, once removed, my nails still had residue on them. I had to use the Uni-Solve to remove the residue. Once I was done with that, my nails were finally clean, sorta. I think it took almost as long to remove as it does using the baggy with acetone method. And then, wow, my nails looked like hell! I had finally gotten to the point where my nails were looking pretty good using the dip system after having used no-chip gel polish for like 5 years and now it looked like I had ruined all that hard work! SO disappointing. About the only thing that I liked about these nail guards was the fact that I had no lifting at all, but I usually do not go more than 1 week without changing. I guess this contributed to the fact that I had a hard time removing them!<br /><br />I bought some Unt, so we will see how that removal goes! :-)
