Removal of l&p

[Kelly H]

Hi, I'm new to this site. Really great to be able to communicate with other Techs. I would like to know how and why some techs put aluminium foil around nails before putting into an acetone bath. I usually have hot water in a bowl and then place a smaller bowl of acetone inside for the client to place her nails. Does the foil make this quicker? Kelly H

Hi Kelly,

I think you have misunderstood. The foil method does not involve an acetone bath. The procedure is to put a nail wipe with acetone on it around the nail and then wrap the nail in foil - I hope that helps a bit. Please also have a look at the Quicksoak Bowl method of removal - www.naturalnailsbyfiona.co.uk/quicksoak.htm

Hi Kelly

I use the foil method just because I prefer it - I think it works just as quickly (especially when you introduce heat).

I don't wrap the nails in foil then in an acetone bath - I soak a cotton wool ball/pad in remover, cover the nail with it, then wrap the finger in in foil. Tuck the hand under warm mitts, in a warm towel, etc. and wait 30 mins.

It's an ideal method if you only want to soak one finger as you can still work on the rest.

I love doing it the foil way to remove my tips... and it means I can surf while waiting (but I do only do one hand at once lol!) I have Fiona's quicksoak bowl which is great if there is an episode of Corra I need to catch up on otherwise it bugs the hell out of me just to sit and twiddle my fingers in acetone. Oooo I am so impatient!

I use my finger spas (there's a thread on here about them somewhere) and I think theyr ace !
My ladies also love them ( bit of novelty factor as well !!) & this week I've had 2 ladies wanting to soak their nails off with my pod things !!! He hhhe heee!
They only needed a bloody rebalance but they wanted to ave a go !! MAD WELSH WOMEN ~!!!! Didn't let them ( meanie that I am !) but told em to save their money cos they didnt need to !!!
Each to their own I suppose , but I luv these little darlins !!
