I enjoy gelish but I don't particularly fancy the long removal process. It is like a moment of handicap when I have my fingers soak in acetone, wrap around with aluminium foil and quite unlikely to do anything at all. Not to mention, it leaves my nails dry and brittle.
To combat the problem, I would make sure I file and buff my nails before and after the removal. I then end off with cuticle oil on my cuticles. I don't buy an extra cuticle oil; I make use of my face oil and double it up as cuticle oil. That saved me a lot of moolahs and it worked pretty good for me!
