not that great read on why [SEP] i bought a home dip nail kit and i tried to use these to soak them off but the pads that come with this kit along with the clip are not very effective i use acetone to try remove the dip color but the clips do not actually seal so the acetone dries and then the nail polish is not soaking off and the pads end up getting stuck on your nails i even tried using cotton pads rather than what came with this kit same problem i will stick to the foil instead of these clips from now on
