Hi everyone! I've been using pure acetone to remove Shellac (I use cotton and foil) since we first got it in the salon, and never had any problems with it coming off. Recently I bought some Nourishing Remover to give it a try since it should be better for the nails and I also read it works faster (especially since we've had a terribly cold winter so far!).
Anyway, I tried it on 2 clients so far and had a REALLY hard time getting Shellac off! I started to unwrap foils after about 9-10 minutes, just like I usually do. But Shellac was not even flaking at this point. So I rewrapped and waited another couple of minutes and rubbed it a bit with almost no affect. In the end I just had to use more pressure with my orange wood stick then I would ever like to use on the nail!
Please, tell me what I'm doing wrong, if there is any tip I'm not aware of? I did a search on it and it seems that everybody loves it and it should be fabulous. What am I missing?!
