I really like gel nail polish for the long lasting wear and shiny finish. Removing gel nail polish at home is not the easiest thing to do. Everyone seems to think that you can just soak gel nail polish in acetone and then scrape it away. Wrong! That is very damaging to your nails -- don't do that. You want to safely and effectively remove gel nail polish from your nails, and probably as quickly and as easily as possible, right? Well, I have discovered how and it will change how you remove gel nail polish at home.
