False nails in general can be very difficult to remove. the appeal of the new on the market Soak off UV Gel Nail Kits is that they have an easier removal process then most other gel nail kits.
Gel Nails: Beautiful and Difficult
The beauty of Gel nails is that they have a very natural look while still being very strong and durable. They don’t tend to discolor or just “look fake” like some cheap acrylics are known to. They also have a very high gloss due to their molecular structure. This same structure makes them very hard to remove, even more so then acrylic nails.
generally acrylic nails only require you to take the varnish off the top and just “rough them up a bit” before an acetone bath for them to melt like the wiked witches nose. UV Gel Nails on the other hand need to be filed down to a thin layer and soaked for a good 20 – 30 minutes before they can be scraped off the nail with a cuticle pusher.
The advertizements for these new Soak off UV Gel Nail kits show that they are much easier to use and remove then other gel nails. The benefit to these is that they generally do not require as long of a soak as other gel nails and they are much less of a hassle to scrape off after the soak time.
Some Soak Off Gel Nail Kits To Try

Whatever soak off gel nail set you decide to go with, make sure that it has all of the elements you are used to working with and try working with the materials, because consistency changes can really throw you off if you are not ready for them. Check to see if the product has its own removing solvent or if it just require pure acetone, also make sure you know the price of refill remover if it is only available through the manufacturer.
