Review (4/5): Wish bottle was larger. Effective but serious chemical gel polish remover
High quality tools with this remover. I really only needed the removed though. Would have preferred a larger bottle instead of the tools. This stuff is super effective at removing gel nails however the bottle only has enough to remove 2 full sets of nails. By the third time I used it I was only able to apply thin coats which was far less effective and more time consuming and still had to pull off nails which I hate to do. I don't know if there is another method or product for removing gel nails. As crazy as this stuff is I can't imagine an alternative. Getting even a tiny bit any where on your skin or clothes and your going to feel it! I treated it like wet nail polish the first and was just careful. Now I'm sure to use the rest room first make sure I'm not gonna be changing the channel on the TV or moving at all! I threw on my coat n took the dog for a walk. Bad decsion. My clothes were fine and so was I really. Once i washed it off I was totally fine but that stinging sensation is extremely unpleasant. The remover reminds me of putting hydrogen peroxide on an open wound. The way you see the white fizzies. Only if it was a giant glob consuming your gel nail. Leaving on a thick layer for 15 or 20 min I was able to completely wipe away my gel nail. When i was less patient I'd wipe and apply more every 3 to 5 min and had to clean up my nails a little after. Instructions do say to use a file to rough up nail surface first which I did not do this time but does make it faster
First pic of my nail (gel polish over clear tips using solid nail tips gel and uv light to attach them instead of nail glue) is before remover
Second pic is one coat of remover about 5 seconds after application
Third pic is second extremly thick coat probably third and fourth coat also. Applied right over first one a few seconds after application
Forth is about a minute or two later with no additional application. It looks so gross but it is stuff just consuming my false nail
If I didn't have the tips and it was just straight gel polish I'm sure I could use less and it would take less time. But I wouldn't use this for that I do not think. Haven't yet. I should add I have had no damage to my natural using this stuff or pain on my natural nail. On my skin doesn't feel so hot but it does wash away and there's no redness or discomfort once washed off. I can't even believe I'm leaving a review like this, this stuff can't be good for humans but then again I am no stranger to chemicals in beauty products.
