Lorraine is right. If Eco doesn't soak off as fast as we are advertising, it is one of two things. Too thick (thicker the product the longer it takes for the solution to really get in there and do it's job. OR if you do use another brand's "non primer". I've done tons of sets with and without our primer (methacrylic acid) and it did not affect my soak off time. But if you use something like Greg's Protein Bonder...I can't say it will release from the nail the same way.
One other thing to consider....your solution. Be sure and shake it really well before you use it. We did add some oils to it to help counter the dryness. If you didn't shake it, it's quite possible you applied mostly oil to your cotton balls and not the rest of the solution. I'm back on track now Lorraine. Sorry I missed your IM's yesterday. Please let me know if something comes up and needs my attention (if I've missed it). I normally skim all the messages that come via email but didn't while on vacation. Kind Regards, Elaine T.
