Hi all!
Last night I had my first "party" eve where a group of ladies all wanted to see/hear more about my products and minx shellac etc - also did mini mani's and polish etc, anyway a couple of ladies asked me to help them remove some old acrylic nails, one set came off fine, but the other soaked for ages (I mean at least an hour maybe some fingers were nearer to 2... used cotton wool and foil method) eventually even though it didn't come off as normal it did go soft and jelly like and I was able to file the soft stuff away, but it was like rubber (it stretched), at the time I was concentrating on getting her stuff off and keeping up with everyone elses requests etc! But when I got home I wondered if it was def acrylic (which she said it was) or whether it could have been gel? - it didn't smell at all so don't think it was mma.
Oh it was a white tip with clear overlay, she got them done at local high street salon - not sure which one (there are hundreds near me!)
My curiosity won't let it go... what was it?
btw - her nails were in a horrendous state underneath - poor woman nearly cried, I felt awful even though it was not my work!
