GELLEN Acetone Gel Polish Remover Pads, 200 Pack Individually Wrapped

Easy to use and works great

Excellent. Less expensive than Sistaco brand remover pads. My nails do not feel dried out after using them. I remove as much gel polish with a file first, and then wrap my nails in these for the last traces of lamp gel polish. You can also use these for regular nail polish. They are very handy for traveling as well. The only drawback is they are difficult to pull apart because they are connected two together. It is easier to cut them apart.

Pros: a LOT of stuff comes in this kit! It’s worth it for the extras alone. I love the light, nail files, cuticle oil, stickers, etc. I do also like the colors in my kit. Cons: it is a little difficult to apply. I’m not the best at painting my nails but it was hard to like, clean up the edges. You have to do it while the paint is wet, because once it goes under the light it’s super hard to get off your skin. It’s also VERY hard to get the polish off your nails; the nail polish remover it comes with doesn’t work and I had to try a couple other drugstore removers to get it off (get the kind with the foils). It also doesn’t stay on as long as I’d like. I’ve done my nails with it four times at this point, it’s usually on for about 4-5 days without chipping, and 6-7 days without looking a mess.

Nice

These wipes are a waste of money and time. They don’t work at all.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of tools in this kit. The polish cures well in this lamp, I use the 99 second setting for the last two coats (99 sec for last color coat and 99 sec again top coat)and the 60 second setting for the first three (60 s base, 60 s each for the first two color coats). The color polish is pretty thin, so I noticed I needed three coats to make it look good. The top coat is beautiful and shiny and the matte top coat is beautiful as well! I really really love the glitter polishes, they have just the right amount of glitter in them in my opinion. The one thing I was disappointed with was the nail art decals that came with it. The packaging they came in said dried pressed flowers so I was excited, but when I opened it, it was these tacky lips and outdated fashion decals. I would have really loved flowers even if they're not real. But since that's not why I bought this kit it doesn't really affect my opinion that much. I haven't used any of the jewels or metallic tape (that's what those little circle things are, a roll of silver and gold tape). My natural nails when long are very bendy and weak so I ended up needing to ger something to put underneath the gel polish to strengthen my nails. I got a clear dip powder and it is working great. The polish lasts week's as long as your nails aren't bending all over the place, then the polish will crack. Removing has been a learning process. The last time I removed it I filed over the top with a coarse grit file to get the top layer off then soaked my nails in a bowl of acetone that was sitting in a shallow dish of warm water and I put a towel over all of that to keep the warmth in. That worked really well and then I was able to just peel away most of it easily with the scraper tool. I love the cuticle oil. *Edit* Almost 2 months later my lamp quit after only 4 manicures. I would now consider paying more for a better kit.

I do not use gel polish, just ordinary polish but I was finding the brand name acetone polish was not really removing it well anymore. It would take multiple applications and scrubbing over and over. So I took a chance and bought these. HUGE difference. These are really small pads and meant to be used one for each finger but I can remove polish with a few strokes, one for each hand. And it comes off cleanly and easily. But the best part? No smell. No perfume. No oily residue. It used to be that the "remover" smell would stick around for hours after I used it but this? Nothing. I'm glad I took the chance and tried it.

I’m one of those people who HATE going to the nail salon - I love the results, but hate how long it takes, and how much it costs. I’ve also bought every brand of nail polish known to man, cheap ones, expensive, and everything in between. I am never happy with my results with regular nail polish. My nails either look sloppy, or they smudge within the first hour, and chip within a few days and it’s so frustrating. I decided to purchase this kit as a last resort for a home manicure. It definitely took some getting used to, but now I look forward to painting my nails! They last for 1-3 weeks in my experience, and the fact that they dry instantly with the lamp is a HUGE PLUS. I even bought a kit for my mom for Mother’s Day, and she loves it. The only major con was the hassle it was to remove the gel polish, but I’ve since gotten a steam remover that makes it so much easier. It’s not AS good as professional, but it’s pretty damn close, and so worth the time and money you’ll save.
