Removing a set of soak-off gel nails in a natural nail overlay? - 04-05-09, 08:35 PM

How often is it 'safe' to use tip remover to remove a full set of natural nail overlay gel nails (clear)?

I guess using the foil method is better than dipping the whole finger in pots?

Would you say that clear soak-off gel is not really designed to be filed or infilled, so, if it is to be removed each time, would you say it can be left a bit longer than 2 weeks in between visits, then when the clients nails have grown to a nice length they can choose whether or not to continue with gel overlays?

Some clients can go for up to 4 weeks,and some are less i would say.It depends on the clients lifestyle and home care.

As for soaking off i favour the foil off method as opposed to the soak off in bowl,and using heated mitts speeds up the process...in 10 mins the colour just peels off,when using a hoof stick...just do not force it off,as this can cause damage.
