soak cotton balls in acetone and lay one on each finger and wrap each finger in aluminum foil.. let it sit for 10 minutes and then remove with a cuticle pusher.. ;)

Does the pure acetone ruin your nails at all?
I know everyone says the shellac doesn't ruin them, but I worry about the acetone.

Yes. With repeated use, your nails will become very brittle because the acetone is so drying. I got it once, and my nails were a mess after I took it off (but I have horrible nails to begin with).

you're soaking it for 10 minutes and remember that the shellac usually lasts 2-3 weeks so it's not like you're doing it every day or every few days.. kwim?
