I’m doing case studies towards my acrylic qualification. This was my first removal since the course and I did not apply it. I cliped and filed with 240 grit all over, soaked in acetone (Sally’s) for 10 minutes with a Bain Marie method . Scraped gently, filed ,soaked..this went on for 1 hour and a half! I could not seem to get the last part off and there were still remnants on there though the nail bed was smooth enough for polish application. I stopped as I was worried about the natural nail and surrounding skin though she had no discomfort and I left her happy. Was I doing something wrong? I was expecting to be there 3/4 hour tops!
