Gel removal is one of the most debated (and often overlooked) parts of a nail service - and we’re on a mission to learn more about how you do it. Whether you’re a soak-off lover or an e-file devotee, we want to know your go-to method, what brands you use, and what challenges you face.
This isn’t just for fun - your insights will help shape our next big campaign, and your voice could influence the future of education, innovation, and support in this space.
What's Your Primary Removal Method?
We aren't talking Builder, we are talking Gel Polish straight onto the natural nail without enhancements:
