finger spa soakers

[tonysioux]

I am considering purchasing the finger spa soakers which hold acetone and placed on fingers to remove gel/acrylic nails. I was wondering if anyone has purchased these are they any good?
Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I bought some of these & hated them. They leaked on some fingers, they cut off circulation on others & clients didn't like them. They ended up in the bin after just a few attempts. My advise would be to save your money. HTHs

Double dippers,are very handy,you can soak 1 or more nails,they last forever,and are very inexpensive to buy.

I still find the most easiest and cost effective method to be the foil method

*soak cotton wool in product remover
*apply to enhancement
*wrap in tin foil for 20 minutes

Less equipment, less exposure to soft tissue, and works a treat IMO

Hi, I have some lying about somewhere as well.......after the novelty wore off I realized how annoying they were.....some clients bought a couple for them to soak off a broken nail at home if necessary....so I made some of my money back..but the time I took one off a clients thumb and saw it was bright blue! through cutting off the circulation....I chucked them in a drawer and never used them again....SAVE YOUR MONEY

I was not overy impressed with these myself.
Just my opinion

I think they are great - whilst I agree that sometimes if you over fill them they can leak and if you have bigger thumbs then they can get uncomfortable after a while.

I use them all the time if I am soaking off one or two nails. When soaking off my own I use them one hand at a time - so I can still answer the phone if it rings LOL.

I have tried the foil method in the past but I got fed up cutting up bits of tin foil - would hair foil do the trick?

I use the foil method for soak off ... yes Fiona, hair foil does work. In fact, I think it's a bit thicker than kitchen stuff, and I usually pick up a pack or two of pre-cut foils when I go to Capital Hair & Beauty.

Thanks for your replies, i don`t think i will bother buying them i will try the foil and cotton wool method.

I have not tried this method yet as I thought it would be too messy but after reading the posts, I think I will give it a go. Such a pain when you've only got one finger to soak-off! I use a little egg cup for myself!!! Well, it's all I could find at the time!!!

Silly questions tho.....:o How much acetone should you soak into the cotton wool....ie just a few pumps from the dispenser or soak the ball completely? Oh yeah...and is it better to use cotton wool balls or pads?
