After first times soaking off I overdid my impatience by pulling off the last bits along thin layer of my natural nails which resulted in thin natural nails. I begun filing off them ever since and even got e-file after destroying few hand files. I will soak off again when I will be taking off all my nails down to natural because I plan giving tips a try (I've used forms since I begun) and return to gel until I get new acrylic product set in (I do find acrylics attached longer even if I do longer nails and am clumsy with laying it on.

In the last 20 years, there have been so many of those popup fingernail places, they don't seem to care if they damage your nailbed or not Even to a natural nail that's never had more than regular polish on them, they love using those efiles to ruff up the surface They use them too excessively. It's hard around where I live to find a decent place. I want to be able to do my own nails and I know I'm not that great with acrylic. lol Any suggestions? Thank you for all your videos.

This gave me so much anxiety. I'll never forget going to have a new set of nails put on, but had to have the old ones removed and the guy doing them went all the way through my nailbed and proceeded to super glue my nail bed back together and kept saying it was ok. Umm not it isn't. He then tried to convince me that it was ok to just put a new nail on. The icing on the cake? He still tried to charge me lol. I walked right out

I will prefer soaking off and gently file off with a nail file for whats left behind than using the machine as I had a bad experience years back when the lady filed it down to my nail bed for a touched up without letting me know and when I went for soak off at another salon it was so painful that Im literally scared of any salon that used machine file.

Thank you Kirsty, another helpful and interesting video. I've always wondered about filing v soaking for nail removal. Personally I prefer soaking. It may be more boring, but somehow seems gentler on the nails. Also, I've seen a lot of damage done with over-enthusiastic use of a drill file. I think I'll be sticking with the soaking.

Before I started doing my own nails; every salon I went to would pry off the old set with an unused tip. Hurt like hell Also when getting a new set would take a course sanding band to my natural nail for prep. I was ignorant to that fact it CAN be done safer and painless. I will never go back to a salon like that again

Filing and Soaking off the nails, is the opportunity time for my clients to see that I can remove old product without any damage to there nails. And that's when we make a decision to go natural with gel polish or do some more nail designs with 3D. But I actually like just filing the nails off my self( personally.

It also depends for me I do both lol. I prefer to do regular infills/design change but when I do have to take a set off, it depends on the time I have on whether I soak off or file off. Sometimes I feel like just sitting there waiting is awkward especially when you don't talk much haha

I remove the bulk, then soak off with acetone and cotton balls wrapped in foil, and use a cuticle pusher to remove the melted acrylic. Sometimes I use my hand drill and sometimes I use a nail file to finish to the natural nail. (This is for my personal nails)
