    gently scuff up the exterior of the nail with nail document and then soak them in acetone and slightly toddler oil. the toddler oil will help supply up the acetone drying ur nails too lots. by way of fact the gel is going runny, rub it off with kitchen towel and repeat til all long previous. could propose a nail reducing after tho. u can get acetone from boots or attractiveness shops.

    The above people are completely wrong i'm afraid- that's how you remove acrylic.

    Gel is non porous and so acetone will not affect it. It must be buffed down. Best you have them taken off professionally so you can see how they do it.

    I wish people wouldn't guess the answer to questions- if you don't know the answer, why comment!?
