[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 612821, member: 1967"] I have the shellac nails done for holidays and vacations and love that they are dry immediately and the shine is incredible. I remove them myself very easily. I found out how using google. I use acetone nail polish remover (it has to be straight acetone) and use cut up make up remover pads cut to the size of my fingernails. Then I dip each one in the acetone and attach it to my fingernails with bandaids. That way I can continue to type or surf the Internet while the acetone works its magic. You have to leave it on for quite a while . . . I usually leave it on for about 45 minutes. Then I just scrap it off with an orange stick and it comes right off. My nails look just like they did before the shellac. I found acrylics to be much more damaging to my nails after they were removed. My nails were thin and sore to the touch. One word of caution about the shellac nails. The UV light can be bad for your skin. Amazon even sells special gloves to protect your hands from the UV light that is used to cure the shellac. I figure since I only do it once or twice a year it isn't a problem but if I did have them done every two weeks I would probably buy the gloves. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
