At first, I was very apprehensive reading all the mixed reviews. But I have to say and you’ll see on my pictures this quick remover actually works very well. I think twice before I allow gel polish to be used on my nails whenever I get a manicure right before I go on vacation because normally upon taking off the gel nail polish, my nails are weak just like paper! But this time around I use the quick remover to remove the gel nail polish and my nails are not damaged and they are just as strong as they were three weeks ago before the gel nail polish was used. My recommendation is to follow the instructions. I took my time and with a nail filer, I filed the top of the polish before I used the The quick remover. Then I placed the quick remover twice back to back and set my timer for eight minutes. Then I used a cuticle pusher to scrape off the nail polish very gently, and the gel nail polish came off pretty easy. Then I just finished filing off any residue very gently and as you can see, my nails are just fine and not damaged! Again follow the instructions and you will be fine. Try to avoid getting any of this on your skin because it will burn a little. I definitely recommend this product as long as you follow the instructions.
