Shellac remover pads

[twid]

I absolutely love these, they're so quick and easy to use. A much better alternative to the foil method in my opinion.

I just wondered how many other people are converts or if in fact hardly anyone uses them - just interested in what you think.

My only niggle is that CND dont do a bigger pack, Im constantly having to run backwards and forwards to West London to pick them up.

I'm still using the foil/cotton method. I do like the pads, tho. CND does make a 100 pack. Maybe a 500 pack would be great as Shellac is gaining in popularity!

 

[RachFace]

could these be used for l&p too??

 

[twid]

I would think so RachFace, its all the same principle but I've not tried it personally.

I really like them but they are a little on the expensive side and the fact that you can't buy more than 100 is annoying too.

 

[shedunlop]

Why not buy more than one pack, save you transport costs!

 

[twid]

LOL I know what you mean Sheila and I think I'll do that next time but I didnt want to spend too much in one go - as has been said they're quite expensive. Also Im in the area nearly ever Wednesday so not too much bother to drop by. Just wish they did bigger pack (500 maybe), would save on packaging and might be cheaper in the long run.

I use cotton balls soaked in a little acetone wrapped in pre-cut forms of foil,, works a treat xx

I was really just wondering how many people regularly used the remover pads like myself. I think they look more professional than the foil method but are people prepared to spend the money?

Ok I love the CND wraps they look good, , and have been through 3 bags of them ,
My only real compliant you cant re stick them very well! So if you get it on and its not a good fit/tight enough or you take it off to check and try to get it back on well..... You cant really !

I do have a huge box of maggi foil wraps from a trade show, I have started using them now, they are foil but very strong and properly cut to size , once you learn how to fold them its easy , so you can pop it off and back on nice and tight ,
I haven't done a test YET lol but I think it may also be a tiny bit quicker! As the foil holds the heat in maybe it speeds it up ?for sure it seems theres less crumbs with the foil lol

So maby Mr geek when you cal and tell them to make bigger bags ask them to make them more re-sitckable (is that a word lol )

I totally agree...the pads do look more professional!

I know I could save myself a few quid by using the foil method, but I really do prefer to use the CND remover pads, as they look so much more professional and they are quicker and less fiddely than applying foil.

They are designed for the right amount of acetone too, so we don't over saturate the nail, so that's another good reason to use them

I'm undecided on whether to continue with the wraps or not to be honest. I do really like them but they are expensive and the fact that you can't use them on the toes puts me off. It doesn't look very professional if using the wraps on the fingers but then foil on the toes, I'd rather use the same for both.

I have the CND wraps and Magis wraps. The CND wraps do look very professional. Although, I prefer using the Magis wraps on myself. I think these are quite nifty too.

 

[The Beauty Shed]

I have a question for those of you that use the magis wraps.....it says in the S2 catalogue that some or for gel and others l&p. Is there actually a difference between them as I can't imagine there being?

 

[mizzy_dizzy]

It is the Pad inside the wrap one holds more acetone than the other , some how that makes the difference .... (this is what they told me at excel anyway)

I use the ones for acrylic as the girls at Fingertips said they are better.
