Calling all nail techs!

[AprilBaby]

I am a very low maintainance person. Three weeks ago I decided to splurge and get a pedicure. It was GREAT! I got a french pedi which looked so nice and clean. Today I am trying to remove the polish myself. Funny thing is...the polish comes off but not the white lines. I am using Cutex Quick and Gentle Non-Acetone Remover. The cotton pads are tuning purple, as well as my fingers, yet the "french" doesn''t come off. Whats the deal? My fingers look like I have dipped them in ink?

Nail Tech here!!!

did they air-brush the white line on? its simple, all you have to do is to try either Alcohol and rub or take a buffer or a very soft file and file it off Also, the non-Acetone polish remover you have might not be strong enough to do the job. I only use 100% acetone on my clients, i don't have to rub all day to get the polish to comoe off

no problems there! It will come off

Thanks! They hand painted the white stuff on..I will try the alcohol. What do you thing is turning me all purple?

I also only use 100% acetone (I''m not a nail tech, but I''ve had a lot of french mani''s)

With that said, I think it REALLY helps. For some reason the white also wouldn''t come off me as well until I went out and bought more of the 100% acetone.

Yup. Acetone is good. I even use it on my acrylics.

ETA Listen to Ame. She knows what she is talking about.
