How to remove Shellac Nail Polish

This is a very common question about shellac.  If you’re like me when I first started to get shellac done, you might think nail polish remover and a few cotton balls will do the trick.  Uhm.  But unfortunately that won’t do it.

To remove shellac here is what you need:
  • 100% acetone
  • 8-10 cotton balls
  • 10 pieces of foil (big enough o wrap around each finger)
How to remove shellac, step by step:

1.    Have all this ready before you start
2.    Dip cotton balls into acetone
3.    Place the soaked cotton ball on top of your finger nail
4.    Wrap around with foil
5.    Repeat on rest of the finger nails
6.    Let soak for 10 minutes
7.    Scrape of with something similar to a nail file (the metal one)
8.    Clean up each finger nail with cotton ball and file if necessary

That should do it. :)

About me

My name is Anita and I am from Castro Valley, CA. I have a big passion for make up (I guess I can consider myself a makeup junkie). Over the last couple years I found myself reviewing a lot of items (mostly beauty and baby products) and saw that a lot of people found those useful. So I figured why not create a blog and review all the items I have in my attic box that I've used over the years. Some totally emptied out, some half empty and some literally brand new (you probably know why too!). I will then continue to review the products as I experience them. I am totally open to hearing others experiences with the products as I strongly believe that not everyone will have the same exact experience. What may work well for me, may not work well for everyone.

Warning:
All of my reviews are my opinion only. Some products may work well for me but not for everyone. I am as honest as I can be when writing a review. If there are negatives I will tell them, but if the product is so good, then it may be hard for me not to rave about it. :(
