Angie, I remove as I explained above. We already have foil and cotton packs made up, you just grap a pack.
Using sanding band, remove top layer. Soak cotton with acetone and wrap with foil, pull down light for heat. In 7 minutes, remove foil, gently slide off product one nail at a time. Remove any residue left and prep with your sanding band. We are at the 10 minute mark here 15 minutes tops. Dust off, apply Protein Bond only to the free edge (I don't dehydrate or use Swipe or anything like that) Apply Base to one hand, Cure 30 seconds or the amount of time it takes you to apply to the second hand. Cure second hand. Apply first, thin coat of color, Cure 2 minutes Apply second coat, cure 2 minutes Apply top coat, cure 2 minutes Lightly file sidewalls and free edge to remove scratchies. Spray with Solar Speed Spray to condition the cuticles without dripping in oil and you are done! Personally, I soak off so that the client, in their mentality, thinks it is still a natural nail service. This IS an enhancement service, IMHO, however, you have to think like the client. "IF" we file it off, they get the perception that this is an enhancement and most of these clients think that enhancements are BAD. So it's all in the perception.
