Cuz I gotta question.
Those of you that remove gel at home. I have those little nail cover clips to hold polish remover in place but the acetone KILLED my fingertips. They're so so dry now.
So what remover have you found that works but maybe isn't quite as harsh??

So what remover have you found that works but maybe isn't quite as harsh?? I like this question. I just do what you do, but I looked into the thicker kind of stuff you just paint on, but I haven't pulled the trigger.

I've been getting mine done for a few months now. This time I did black with a black & silver glitter and matte top coat.

I have some touch up to go but this is OPI girls gone plaid. I tried it with a seche vite quick dry top coat so we will see but I love the glossiness so far.

Feeling uninspired by January’s vibes right now. Might do a hot pink to be cheery, but I’m not sure I have one. Anyone have a hot pink they like?

Ewww) from age 3 to just before her 6th birthday. Now she wants to grow them, they grow fast, I have to trim and file them every 4/5 days. Have you tried nail varnish before? Sometimes pretty nails are exactly what stops kids chewing them.

So what remover have you found that works but maybe isn't quite as harsh?? I got the cheap electric mail file form Amazon. And use that to file away the top layers. I need less time in acetone once I do that

I wish my DD would stop chewing her nails so I could do something like that with her this is actually how i got my kids (even my ds) to stop chewing his nails. “you don’t want to ruin your beautiful paint!” we’ve been chewless for years now. especially important in the time of covid. get your nasty ass fingers out your mouth
