acetone will ruin your nails and you'll have to go back and get them re-done all over again. Just follow instructions and use non acetone and save a chunk of change.


good luck.Remove polish from gel nails?
First of all, are you SURE that you have real UV gel nails? It's really simple to tell if you have UV gel nails, or acrylic nails. If the tech used ANY liquid and powder on your nails, then you have acrylic nails, and not gel nails. It doesn't matter what the tech told you they were, UV gel nails never, ever use liquid and powder in their application. It's that simple. Gel nails are made from UV nail gels, and nothing but gels. They look exactly like the name implies - like a gel. There is no such thing as 'powder' gel either. Each individual layer of gel MUST be cured under a UV lamp for 2 minutes. There is usually about 3-4 individual layers of gels applied on your nails. Again, NO liquid and powder is ever used in the application of gel nails. Thus, if you paid for gel nails, and had liquid and powder applied on your nails, well, you just got scammed. It happens all the time in these strip mall chop shops that charge dirt cheap prices and where they can't understand a word you are saying? Those places...


Why do I ask this anyway? Because UV gel nails are non-porous. This means that they do not readily absorb liquids. And acetone is not an exception to this rule. You could soak real UV gel nails in pure acetone for an hour or two with little to no damage to them. So to answer your question: It is completely safe to use acetone based nail polish remover - OR pure acetone (most effective, and fastest remover for polish) provided you have real UV gel nails. Acrylic nails are porous, and as a result, they readily absorb liquids. That is the reason why acetone, and acetone nail polish remover can damage them.
Acetone will melt the fake nail and make it stick to your fingers, it's gross and I have made that mistake before.
