It works but not as quickly as I had hoped [SEP] Yes this works but not quite as well as depicted in the photos. It usually takes me two cycles per hand to soak off my gel polish. It never peels off like the photo shows, it does become soft enough that I can scrape it off myself. I buff the shine off first and use pure acetone to steam them. I scrape what I can off after a few minutes and then steam them again. It’s better than the cotton ball wrapped in foil that I was using before.
