works well for gel removal [SEP] after reading several reviews i was skeptical but i decided to give it a try here is the deal if you are expecting to put this on and have the gel pop like the video demo it actually does not do that at least for the types of gel i use however it works in my opinion much better and faster than acetone you have to remove the top coat layer sealer first after that put it on for a few minutes minutes than scrape it and file away the rest it works by softening the gel and makes it a lot easier to file away without harming your actual nails for me this is the same process i use with soaking in acetone except it takes anywhere between min for the acetone to soften the gel enough that i can file it away also with soaking i use to do one hand at a time so it took a total time of hour or so with this product i can do both hands in same time whole process took less than min to have clean and ready nails for my next application
