Cindy, I want to make sure I'm understanding you clearly. Are you saying that the Gelish re-hardens after 5 minutes in acetone and that you remove the top layer and cover with acetone on one nail and then go to the next? How much Gelish are you taking off in your prep? How much do you have left to buff after removal? I took nearly half off one nail and it still took 15 minutes and still had a slight amount that needed buffed off. My coats are extremely thin. My Gelish last and last which is a positive note. I also don't have any trouble with the darker colors curing. ( I do the scrubbing method with the base and very little) I haven't done a Gellish fill yet Cindy. Thank you for your help!!!

Hi Della, I use the foil and cotton with acetone to remove Gelish from the natural nails. I make sure the foil is tightly folded and let it sit for 5 minutes. I notice that if it sits longer, it re-hardens. I prep one nail at a time so by the time I prep one nail the next is ready for removal. It takes me about 45 minutes for removal/re-app. I never put a file to the nail bed-only a buffer. I have never done a refill on Gelish. How long does it take you for a Gellish fill?
