Hi, can anyone tell me the best method for soaking off a full set of l&p natural nail overlay? I have a lady who has been a case study for me through college who has asked me to soak her overlays off tommorow as her own nails have grown really well and she has a party to go to saturday and wants them removed before then..
Now, at college they said to soak the nails in acetone for 30 - 45 mins. This seems a long time to me? If you file the overlays down first how much do you thin them? do you just remove the shine or actually take the acrylic down a bit?
Also, you know when the acrylic goes all gloopy and jelly-like... apart from wiping it off, so you use an orange stick to ease some of it off too?
And.. do any of you end up with the white gloopy look around the nails where the acrylic has soaked off in the bowl? I had this when i soaked my own nails off and it was really hard to get it off my skin.. - if you do get it, whats the best way to clean it off?
Sorry for all the q's, but i havent got college again until next wk, and i want to try and do this the best way tommorow to a) make sure i dont damage the natural nails at all! and b) to keep time to a minimum..
