does this work to remove gel polish?

My wife has only used it on regular nail polish so I do t know if it would work on gel polish. I would call a nail salon and ask them

Yes it does. I usually pour it into the cap 3/4 full and while watching my favorite hour long show dip each nail into the cap for approx 4-5 mins long. Then I scrape off the polish. May have dip in for another 1-2 mins but comes off very easy and better than the foil they make you put on each finger at the nail salon. I usually. Do this before going to salon to reapply gel. Saves time. Great product!

It will remove the gel polish. You will have to pour some in a small bowl and soak, just check and when the polish begins to wrinkle up take a tissue to wipe off.

"Regular" gel? You mean soak off gel/hard gel used for overlays and extensions? Yes. Or do you mean gel polish? Yes. It cures all gels.

I can't confirm that as I used it with a gel overlay. I purchased it to limit polish chipping and it certainly works for that.

It works with all gel polishes eventually. Some polishes require more time curing. This is not a powerful lamp, but it will get the job done.

I have not tried CND brand gel polish, I'm sorry that I cannot give you an answer. I believe that this machine should work on all gel products. I would suggest visiting there website. Good luck. My daughter and I love the machine.

Unfortunately you cannot. I tried this with OPI for white tips. The polish stayed gel like and peeled. You have to use all gel products. I hope this helps.

Gel Polish needs to be removed with straight acetone. To start the process, use a 100/180 to remove the surface finish of the gel polish. Scuff it enough that you see deep grooves in the polish. This will help the acetone to penetrate faster. In a salon, the correct way is to place an acetone soaked bit of cotton to the surface of the nail, then wrap a small piece of aluminum foil around your finger to hold the cotton in place and to hold the heat in which makes the acetone penetrate faster. The directions say it comes off in 10 minutes, it's more like at least 15. When done properly, the gel polish will flake off. If some remains, either rewrap the nail to soak again or gently file it off. For at home use, it's faster and easier to pour a small amount of acetone in a small glass bowl, add a few drops of olive oil to lessen the drying properties of the acetone and soak your nails for 15 minutes. You'll still need to file the surface of the gel polish first doing it this way. If you put the small bowl of acetone down into another slightly larger bowl that has hot water in it, it will safely heat the acetone and it will work faster.

Yes, Sully. I haven't found a gel polish that it doesn't work with. And I have had mine for quite some time and all of the lights are still working. Good luck!

Yea, this can be removed with regular (acetone or non-acetone) polish remover.

It works best to apply polish, it will cake up if you use it with wax. It works fine to remove polish/wax.

It does not. You have to get that separate. This is just the gel to put on your nails. And the stuff to take it off.

It works great with regular polish. Just remove it with nail polish remover like you would regular nail polish

Yes it will. I use acetone base as my polish remover and it works very well. It looks and works exactly like what the salon's use. I am happy with this product.

You can use it for any type of gel polish. I have Gelish and it works great.

It does not come off easily and before you can even try to get it off you need to file off the gel layer on the top. The only way I am able to get it off is to put acetone on a cotton ball and wrap my nail in foil for a good 5-10 minutes (longer is better) and then after that, it will scrape off. It does not just rub off like normal nail polish but properly applied, it does wear much longer and is therefore worth the extra effort.the remover MUST be straight acetone.

Yes and no. Shellac is polish and gel hybrid. It's easier to remove than other all gel polishes. When I use it with gelish, or sensationail I can literally peel them off, but I don't advise that since everyone's nails are different. The correct way is to soak it with cotton and foil for 10min. I've also used IBD gel polish with this set, that was really hard to get off. I had to soak for at least 15min. So it really depends on the polish you're using. Shellac is one of the easier brands to take off.
