I just recently tried Nailite's Soak off Gel Polish along with their Gentle, Soak Off tackless sealer, first the sealer did not cure properly, all nails were dull. I filed half off, soaked in acetone for 45 minutes, nothing budged. I ended up having to file it all off of my own nails. Needless to say, I will NOT be offering this at this time. FWIW, I didn't use any primer with it, just based in gentle gel,, which is supposed to be soak off, as directed by Nailite.
