If you’re going to use a harsh metal file, we recommend using a softer cardboard emery board. It is recommended that you use an acetone remover with a concentration of 60 percent or higher. The best method is to use a product designed specifically for the removal of shellac or gel polish from your skin. If your hands are dry, moisturize with a good quality hand cream, or apply a hand mask.
