I use the same procedure as Michelle and it works just fine with most of the
soak offs may take a little longer from product to product...Shellac is off in
under 5 minutes by the time I get to the 10th finger the 1st is ready to come
off I use an orange wood stick to remove the rest no damage
Absolutely. I have some clients who can't wear pot or bottle SOG.
