I learned in class I've been using way to much cotton to soak with. If the cotton ball is to big, it soaks the solution back up away from the nail. Use the shiny side of the aluminum foil down on the nail this also helps speed up the soaking off process. It takes me about 45 to 50 minutes to soak off and put a new gel on. 30 minutes with no soaking/no walking to the bathroom to scrub nails. (new client)
