iworks but not for the impatient [SEP] i have uses this on regular polish glitter microglitter no light gel and real gel polishesit works on all at a logically increasing amount of saturation timethe gel manicure was the longest and required more than of cotton ball soaking with plastic spring clips securing it i also had to do a second coating for about to get it off the rest of the way the upside is that acetone soaking for is harsh on cuticles where this is notfor a single coat of polish light or strengthener no wait imo it is a pain that i would purchase again only for its less damaging side effects another downside was begging to rate them product is good
