trying to soak off opi gel ? help
got the opi gel .... needless to say after 5 days its cracking all over the place.
i soaked them in acetone for 5 minutes and its not coming off...i thought soaking them off was supposed to be easy... is there a special soak they use at the nail salons? any thoughts would be appreciated

i was able to peel mine without any polish remover. but there was a lady at the nail salon today and she was soaking her nails for at LEAST a half an hour today and she was doing the OPI gel.

Re: trying to soak off opi gel ? help
I had to soak my nails for about 30 minutes in a cup of nail polish remover and then they filed/buffed them. My nails were so ruined after this experience. I had them done at the end of May and now (2 1/2 months later) they are almost back to where they were before having the gel polish. I have not had a real manicure for weeks to let my nails heal.

I never soaked once, just lifted and peeled and the entire thing came off with no damage at all.
