Removing Shellac from acrylic?

[Hel2810]

Hi all, I've got a client who wants her shellac taken off her acrylics and reapplied. I don't work with acrylic so was wondering how I'd do it, any help would be greatly appreciated xx

I don't use shellac but have used gelish on acrylic, I file the gelish off. Not sure what the next steps would be though as I said I'm not familiar with the shellac system x

I would rebalance the acrylic and apply shellac without base,so straight to colours,

Simply buff the Shellac off and re-apply without using base coat x

sorry if this is a silly question but why don't you use base coat on acrylics when using shellac?

Shellac will adhere to artificial product but not to natural nail which is why the base coat is used. The basecoat works in a similar way as the primer with acrylics, without it the shellac would come off very very quickly from the natural nail but not from acrylics! Artificial product will adhere to artificial product, artificial product won't adhere to natural nail without the help of the basecoat
Hope that makes sense!! Xx
