Soak-Off

A removal method that dissolves gel polish or soft gel using acetone instead of filing.

Soak-off removal wraps the nails in acetone-soaked cotton (often with foil) to dissolve the product so it can be gently pushed off. It's gentler on the natural nail than heavy filing when done correctly.
