Client come into today for Shellac removal and re-application of OPI GelColour which I do. I have the correct CND Nourishing (purchased correctly) Remover and I foil up. Ten minutes later remove foils and the "Shellac" has not really removed but has become rubbery and gelatinous. If I can lift a tiny bit it is sticky and clings rather like chewing gum. Another Ten minutes and its still the same and as the remover dries after foil comes off the product reseals itself to the nail. Rubbing with a pad soaked in remover didn't really help at all. Hence removal was almost impossible without serious scraping.
Now when I remove GelColour when the foils come off the product is curling off the nail or has come off completely on the foil. Would Shellac be the same I assumed it would be. I am assuming that although she was told it was Shellac either it wasn't or the base coat was perhaps another make. How should I have removed the product perhaps constant soaking in a dish of acetone would have produced a better soak off. Any help or advice please x
