I use lint free pads, hands down, I fold them into quarters. These didn't seem to dry out like the cotton pads, not tried balls.

Lol balls are fab !!!
Just make sure you rip it in to tiny pieces, I was so surprised at how little cotton wool was used! No wonder mine took forever, my cotton pads and lint were soaking up far too much solution!!!!

Can I just ask GlamourEyes, did you remove Gelish which had just been applied or Gelish which someone had on for 2-3 weeks? x

I need to try using the cotton wool balls using harmony remover, d-solve and acetone and see which is best. I will try all three and report back when i remove the rest of mine I will also take a photo of how small the bits of cotton wool need to be (the way I was shown today anyway) x

I use cotton pads with D-solve and find it the quickest by far, have used cotton pads with harmony remover and acetone and no where near as quick as D-solve. It takes me about 10-15 mins to remove but will try D-solve with cotton wool balls to see if it is any quicker x

I also use D-Solve and have found this the quickest for me so far, but it took forever as I was using too much pad, so I tried lint free wipes and they worked best for me, but still took ages (down to my application of foundation being too thick as I found out in my training today) but she used NH remover today. So I will try all methods

Yes absolutely, see which works best for you, I need to try cotton wool balls but dont like the feel of them, something I need to get over! x

I think I need to try everything all over again.
I was having a really good time with removal, but since changing cotton pads I'm now struggling again.
I was using Acetone from Sally#s with round cotton wool pads (ones with raised circles on them) cut in to 4. Now I have much larger smooth pads, which I have cut down and these don't seem to have had any effect.
I've also tried cotton wool balls pulled apart and still nothing.
Think I need to re-try everything all over again with acetone, NH remover and D-Solve.
Would be great to see the pictures of cotton wool ball size. If not too much trouble do you think you could take picture os the removal, to show if the Gelish crumbles and what not?? :o
