I would just as soon drill it off, but let's face it-- most of the clients who are in love with these products would prefer to avoid any part of the process that makes them think it's a "fake nail product," they'd rather have it soaked off. I have been using the individually wrapped (which makes me think of one of the old Foster Farms chickens commercials, which makes me laugh) -- acetone soaked cotton ball, wrapped in foil-- method. I find doing this means letting them soak for 15 minutes, then scraping the product off with a cuticle pusher. It works well enough. BUT one of my clients has taken to soaking it off herself at home the night before her appointments and SHE made the discovery that if you soak it the old fashioned way-- with your fingertips in a bowl of acetone, it slides right off in 10 minutes or less! So that's the way we're doing it now. Just make sure you buff the shine off the top coat first.

I would appreciate a vote of which you all prefer as far as buffing/filing the product off to apply new, or the soak off method? Also how much time it takes you for both methods. I soaked 3 of mine off yesterday with a timer and I am disappointed that it is not quicker to remove. I filled half the Gelish off and it took 15 minutes to remove plus buffing to finish : ( I am grimacing at the length of time this might take tomorrow : ( Also, do you apply foundation base over the entire nail for a fill, or just the growth area.
