LOL... not as well as the others, which is why I use it more as a color gel than as a sog. You need to apply it super thin like polish for it to soak off as advertised (which is still 15 minutes,btw) AND break the seal first, and let it go the whole 15 minutes with no peeking. If it is thick like the ones you just experienced, you have to file off about halfway before soaking. The good news is that it stays on A LOT longer than Shellac... I have had frenches go 4 weeks with absolutely NO chipping by doing nothing more than barely removing the shine from the natural nail. As far as application goes, I still prefer Shellac...

She had axxium on....it took me a freaking hour to soak that stuff off. It was so thick and lumpy I would never have believed it was SOG. To begin I just quickly broke the seal with a file...then cotton ball/foil for 10 min. Nothing! So I file them down a bit (I had to be quite careful with that cos' she had just had articificial nails removed and there was some damage and sensitivity) reapply cotton ball/foil for 5-10....a little bit of progress with that, except.....to my horror.....i discovered another colour underneath.....so round 3 got underway. Anyhow after an hour and 15 minutes she walked out the door with a new THIN application of shellac and I hate axxium....seriously, does that stuff really soak off?
