Non-Acetone; Yes or No???

[Miss Pink23]

Is it ok to use non-acetone polish remover on those deep matt colours that seem to cling on for dear life and seem to take FOREVER to come off, as opposed to acetone-free which is more widely used???
Thanks

do you mean polish remover containing acetone?

i always use acetone polish remover!!
the acetone free ones are a load of hard work!!

yes, that'll be fine. youd probably do more harm with the acetone free one as it needs to be in contact with the nails so long to shift the deeper polish.

non acetone polish removers are a gimmick, and the additives and fragrances play havoc with enamel adhesion.

Me too!
SO much quicker.
Who has time to wait around in a busy salon for non acetone removers to work?

Well, see you learn something new every day...
Why is it teenage girls always turn up with black or bright red enamel on :irked:
Yes it takes forever....
I can't believe I have been a qualified tech for almost 3 years now and I have never knew this,
I always use acetone free...
Thankyou x

Can someone explain the chemistry side of acetone v's none acetone for removing enamel for me by any chance ?
Does Doug schoons book explain things like this in it ?

One contains acetone and the other contains MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone).
One is quicker and one is slower to react with the enamel and the enhancement material. But used correctly acetone wont harm the enhancement one bit. It's just that clients do not use acetone correctly so non acetone is recommended for home use on enhancements.
