Why do you think scraping damages nail plate?
I remove Gelish in around 10 minutes, as I end wrapping up last finger (I shorten, shape, remove shine and put oil on skin then wrap) I remove the foil from the first one and quickly scrap off the product, nail is clean and untouched. Gelish is soft and gummy and I do need to use force to remove it. Probably after 30 minutes it simply falls off, but it is too long for my service timing and too prolonged exposure of nail and skin to acetone, so I rather choose scraping. I do the same with Gelcolor, gel fx - 10 minutes and nail plate is clean, no need for filing etc. No need to be scared
But on american forum most of nail techs remove gel polishes with an e-file.. That just killed me...
I never buff the shine, I just pop on the acetone soaked cottonwood and wrap in foil. After 10 mins it just comes off like peeling paint from a wall when it's been steamed. It's not soft and gummy for me but more brittle.
I use to buff before removing but have found it comes off better without buffing. I read it on an earlier thread. Saves time too.
