Hi Geeks,
I am hoping someone can help me with a question I have. I have been using Brisa for over a year but had never removed a set before last night. I know Brisa is a buff off gel and is acetone resistant. My CND Brisa workbook from my training, said to remove Brisa, you should buff the gel down to a thin layer (about the thicknes of a piece of paper) and then soak off the paper thin layer with acetone for 40 mintues.
Yesterday evening, I went to a clients house to remove a set of Brisa enhancements which I had applied 2 and a half weeks before for her wedding day. I followed the instructions I was taught, as in my Brisa workbook, but after the 40 mintues, the thin layer was still rock soild and seemed as if they had not softened at all. I ended up buffing all the gel off gently with my 240 grit. I was not overly keen on buffing the final layer, as I was concerned about over buffing and thinning the cleint natural nails.
My cleints nails seemed strong enough after the removal but I'm slighty worried incase I have thinned her nails in any place. Her natural nails are normaly very strong and she only had the enhancements applied as she had broken 2 nails days before the wedding.
I was using D-Solve for socking the final paper thin layer, which has always done the job fantasticly with L&P. I used the cotton wool and foil method for soaking.
Can any of you shed some light on why the soaking had aboslutly no effect even though according to my workbook, it should have ?
This cleint wants me to do her nails again in October for a family memebers wedding and I don't want to end up in the same situtation when the time comes to remove the nails again as she dose not wish to have any Brisa left, even the paper thin layer.
