Removing my shellac

As much as it saddens me it is time to remove my shellac for two reasons. 1) my nails have grown out so much and 2) it is lifting around the new growth and getting snagged on stuff (i.e. my mother's hair tee hee hee). To remove shellac you only need three thins and maybe 30 or 40 minutes. I used my 30 or 30 minutes to review my notes for state board, that's how easy it is. You'll need cotton balls/squares/rounds, 100% pure acetone, and foil. Soak the cotton in acetone, not so much that it is dripping, place it over your nail, and use a large enough piece of foil to smash and hold the acetone soaked cotton to your nail. Now set your timer for 15 minutes and wait. After 15-20 you should be able to either pull al the shellac off when you squeeze and pull off the foil and cotton. With some shellac the acetone will degrade it enough that you can just scrape it right off with an orangewood stick without any damage to your nails. Voila!
