Most Helpful Positive Review Works Well! I used this product for the first time 3 days ago and it worked as is should. The instructions were easy to follow but I had also seen a few tutorials on YouTube which simplified the process even more.
Make sure you're are doing this process over your sink because it will leak a bit while appyling the foil on your fingers. I started with the application on my left hand (I'm right handed) with the exception of my thumb to simplify the application of the foil on my right hand, then did my right hand and thumbs. I left the foil on for 15 minutes and once I removed the foil the polish just came right off. I only had to use the orange wooden stick on one finger but it was very minor.
I did try this process once again that same night because I wanted to re-do my nails because I was eperimenting with "art" and didn't care for the end result but the second time around I used regular foil and a cotton ball and I found that using my own foil and cotton ball was easier to use and apply...it also had a better grip on my finger nails so I didn't have the fear of the foil falling off.
Either way I think the product works well and its a good starter kit. Next time I'm going to stick to just purchasing the Erase gel nail polish remover bottle and use my own foil and cotton balls.
Most Helpful Critical Review The kit is a great idea in theory Kit included foils with cotton squares attached so when adding the acetone made it a wet mess. The foil was then hard to wrap. It would be better to get acetone, cotton balls and foil.

My nail gal wasn't able to get me in for a removal and my gels were a little over 2 weeks old and starting to annoy me. I wandered into Ulta and found this kit. It worked great. I don't know if this helped or not but I have plastic clips I use over my nails to hold the foil and remover in place. It took 10 min for most of my nails and I had to keep it on another couple min for a few, just like at the salon.
Not worth it 1
SR from atlanta, ga
-The buffing block is poor quality and does a horrible job of removing the shiny coat
-The aluminum foil pieces are great in theory but do not stay on the finger
-I had on the cotton soaked aluminum pads on for 30 minutes and still required use of the orange sticks to push off gel on every finger. The acetone only lightly softened the gel polish (unclear if this is due to poor quality or poor contact given the poorly fitting aluminum foil). The end result was partial removal with remnants. Additional soaking for another 30 minutes did not help
-frustrating product I do not recommend
This product is for real 5
Lilly fa lilly from Indiana
This box is so east to use and the polish comes right off. Just soak the pad, not dripping wet. fold the foil over the nail and wait exactly 15 minutes. Take the stick and use the slanted end and push the color off and buff. Wallah!!!
It works but it is time-consuming 5
Julie from 2335
This kit works so I will rate it at 5 stars.
However, it takes time and effort to remove the gel.
Used it to remove gel from a pedicure. I had to leave the foils on for at least 20-30 minutes because the recommended 10-15 minutes wasn't long enough. Then I had to keep reapplying the remover and using the stick to get the last parts of gel off and then buff the nails down. Took me a little over an hour to remove all of the gel.
This is a good alternative if you don't feel like going to nail salon to get gel removed but just be aware, it's not a quick removal process, at least it wasn't for me.

This product worked well for me but you have to do some prep work. I first buffed off that top shiny layer then applied the soaked foil. I did one hand at a time and even applied a warm towel on top of the foil to speed up the process.
Love it!! 5
Steph from Allentown, PA
This kit is amazing! I definitely recommend using the blue alcohol at the end to get rid of that sticky feeling! I love saving the money that I would normally spend at the salon!!
Awesome 5

It's an awesome kit, has everything I need
Terrible, did not work 1
Allison from Indiana
This was absolutely terrible. It took three applications, all the foils plus more of my own, and an hour and a half to remove my polish. I would never recommend this product to anyone as it is a waste of money.
Did not work as advertised 1
Sheila from Austin, TX
Followed instructions to the letter but the solution barely softened the gel polish. Tried multiple times to no avail. Waste of money and time. Should have just gone to the salon to have them remove the polish.
Got the job done 3
Jb from Whatcom County, WA
I liked not having to go to a salon, but it did take a lot longer. Because of the problems mention above, I had to redo it twice. Maybe it would work better to use pure acetone instead of the solution provided.
Don't waste your money 1
jessallie from Elk Grove, CA
I wore these for at least a half and hour and polish would not budge at all. Left is on a little longer and only had mild success. Trying to scrape off the polish probably did excess damage to nails. Probably better using your own 100% acetone cotton balls and foil.

Not a Make Up Pro from Chicago
I bought this for a no chip removal and it was just as effective as cotton balls, acetone and foil. It did not remove the polish in 15-20 minutes. I ended up leaving it on for 45 minutes and I still had to scrape it all off and some was left behind, so I had to soak a second time.
Does not work 1
Deb from Bethel ct
Purchased the remover kit and the starter set-remover kit did not take off anything needed to get regular nail polish remover- as for the starter kit all worked well till the top coat - turned orange and white sticky lumps to the pink polish- both are going back ASAP
I wouldn't buy this product again 1
Amy from Plymouth, Mi.
This product didn't take off the gel nail polish. I had to put it on my nails three times. After the third time, I ended up soak my nails with regular nails polish that had acetone in it. The nail polish remover worked better than the kit.
Absolutely horrible! 1

I attempted to use this horrible product and all it did was ruin my nails!
Love it! 5
Oksana from Canton,OH
The instructions say leave the gel on for 10-20 minutes but I leave the foil on anywhere from 30-40 I order for an easier removal!
Good Product 5
Karen from Woodhaven
Worked well, and easy
Needs detailed instructions! 1
Gommi Ann from Milwaukee, WI
Wanted to give this a try. Did not give enough detail and it was horribly lumpy and then I found I needed something special to remove it. Should have said on the box that it wasn't included!
Worked wonders 5
LizDarakorn from Northridge, ca
I have used the foil and cotton ball but they didn't seem to work as this product did. I would do one hand at a time and leave it for 15 minutes and the nail polish came of easily when I scraped it off as instructed on the directions. I am sold!
Wasted Money 1
LindaV from Pleasant Hill, CA
I picked this kit up to remove my gel manicure at home rather than go back to the salon. I had high hopes, and maybe I wasn't doing it right, or you need two people to do it correctly. The foils with the cotton pad attached wouldn't stay on my fingers and felt bulky. I never did get all 10 of them on my fingers. I'd get a few on and one would fall off. Put that one back and another one would fall. Finally gave up and threw the used foils away. I might try it again some day using regular pieces of foil and cotton balls.
LOVE EVERYTHING RED CARPET!!! 5

I work for a surgeon and bartend, so I constantly wash my hands. This stayed on chip free for at least 12 days, I changed it because I wanted a color change. Love Red Carpet
