it works but not as easily as in the video [SEP] i was skeptical about this product but i was happily surprised i have used this product three times to remove gel polish i do my own nails i find it to be much easier than soaking the polish off with acetone especially since that method only allows me to do one hand at a time with this product i have to file down the top coat i make sure there are no shiny spots of the top coat remaining then i apply a thick layer of this polish to my nails i found that it takes around to minutes to get the full effect i do have to gently scrape the polish off my nails but it comes off fairly easily i do have polish remaining on my nails after the scraping so i apply a second coat and allow it to set for minutes after the second coat i am able to scrape the remaining polish off my nails there are some areas where i may have to scrape a little harder than gentle pressure however i do not feel this is damaging to my nails i would recommend this product because it is an easier way to remove gel polish but it by no means comes off as easily as it does in the video
