Does this gel soak off natural nails with acetone?

never had to remove just yet. But when i decided to do the change from acrylic to gel i used acetone to remove the acrylic so i suppose acetone would remove the gel as well.

Yes probably after soaking for about 30-60 mins, this is the same hard gel they use at salons. They usually use some kind of sanding tool like the nail dremel types to get it off faster. I use a sander when I am ready to fill my nails. When I'm sick of having nails and want to go natural I bite or peel mine off because I don't have patience haha! Then my nails are really weak and bendy so I put gel polish on so they are a little stronger and let them grow out! Hope this helps :)

yes it does. Put acetone on a cotton ball place on your nail. Wrap each finger with acetone based remover and aluminum foil and place under a uv lamp to speed up the soak off process. Or, just sit and wait with your nails wrapped; either method will get the product off.Also remember to rough up the gel with a coarse file before you proceed to wrap them in the cotton balls and foil. Roughing them up just consist of you running the file across the nail to crack the gel a bit. You can use a file or a buffer I use coarse files. Just don't use the coarse grit on your natural nail.

Not very well. You have to wrap the nail up with foil and cotton loaded with acetone. Then take it off after a while and scrape, and do it again. The easiest way I find is to file it off with a coarse emery board, or use an electric filer- CVS has them for ten dollars- battery op, or you can get an electric one on ebay. It's very similar to acrylic when removing it.

No, it will dry just like a clear coat of nail polish and comes off easily with nail polish remover. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have Gel nails and it works great. Today my manicurist asked me to bring a bottle in for him to check out.

This was a gift for my niece, but she has done designs on my nails and I've seen her clean them afterwards with acetone with no problem.

It will remove nail polish. I use this exclusively for that purpose, however it does seem drying. It may be more harsh than what you'd find in a Cutex bottle, but it is still acetone and it still works. If you've got sensitive skin, I'd steer clear.

You can use NON acetone nail polish remover if u use acetone it will mess the nail up (it melts the nail if that makes sense)

I do, and cure it. Makes regular polish stay shiny and last longer. You just can not remove it with acetone. Must be buffed off.

Yes it's made for acrylic and gel nails. You wouldn't need this for your regular nails, too rough.

I use it on natural nails but usually over the vinylux polish. I'm sure it would work equally well on other polish.

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.

Did you follow the step where you wipe off your nails with the gel cleanser? if you don't do that step, your nails won't dry right.

I found them easy to get off. I soaked my nails in acetone for a few minutes and they came off easily!

you have to use acetone polish remover, saturate a cotton ball, wrap the cotton ball on top of each fingernail and hold on with a piece of tin foil for about 15-20 minutes or you can soak your finger nails in the bowl of acetone polish remover then use a peeler what is like a nail file with a round edge, you can scrape it off slowly it should come off quite easily if not then re-soak.

No. It's not a 'hard' gel polish. It's like any other 'regular' base coat or top coat. Easily removed with acetone or non acetone nail polish removers.

Not unless you have gel nails. This product works on natural and acrylic nails.

apparently, yes, it can be used on fingernails. The smell isn't very enticing though.
