Question: what is the difference between gel polish and soak off gel?
Answer: Hard/Soft Gel Manicure: The biggest difference between Hard and Soft Gel nails is porosity and removal. Soft Gel (Shellac, Gelish, OPI Gel Color, etc.) otherwise known as "Soak-off Gels," go on like Nail Polish and removed with acetone applied to a cotton pad and soaked off.
