gel remover - #13033
I am really struggling with this gel remover situation. Last month, I had my nails done for a big event, and I decided to go for gel nails for a change. They looked amazing at first, but now I can’t get them off!! I went to the salon, and they used a gel remover that literally felt like it was burning my nails. I thought maybe it was just me, but I felt so uncomfortable that I had to ask them to stop. Since then, I’ve been using some at-home gel remover products, but they either don’t seem to work or take forever. I’ve read that soaking them in acetone could help, is that true? I’m worried about my nails getting damaged even more with all these attempts. My friend told me that sometimes the gel remover can ruin your nails if you don’t use it correctly, and I do NOT want to end up with brittle nails. Is there a specific technique or product you all recommend for an effective gel remover that won’t fry my nails or take ages? I guess I’m just looking for any help or tips that could make this easier because I can't deal with this much longer!
