REVIEW: Elegant Touch Soak 'Em Off! #Blogmas2020

I saw these and thought I would try them as the claims were pretty good.

CLAIMS:

  • Fast, fuss-free removal of false nails

  • Fast, fuss-free removal of gel manicures

  • Fast, fuss-free removal of stubborn glitter nail polish

  • Fast, fuss-free removal of dark nail polish shades

  • Make sit down soaking a thing of the past

  • Removes false nails in 15 minutes

  • So portable: perfect for travel

  • Sweet peach fragrances


PACKAGING:

There are 100 individually soaked acetone pads in foil packaging, they are house in a cardboard box


INGREDIENTS:

Acetone, Parfum, Linalool

HOW TO:

  1. Buff away the shine from the surface of your false nail, gel polish or glitter polish. If your false nail has any gems, buff them too!

  2. Carefully tear the sachet and pop your finger in so the nail is in full contact with the pre-soaked acetone pad.

  3. Peel off the plastic tape to reveal sticky strip. Fold sachet sides over and stick securely around the nail. Your finger should now be encased snugly within the sachet.

  4. Remove after 15 minutes and use a cuticle tool or wooden manicure stick to remove the softened residue. Repeat if necessary.


Ravishing Rose

Products:

  • SensatioNail Gel Primer

  • SensatioNail Color Gel Polish in Ravishing Rose

  • SensatioNail Gel Base & Top Coat

  • Ciaté Love Me Oil Cranberry Cuticle Oil

A few of my nails are completely off and some are half chipped.

I applied these to the nails that don't have product on, making sure they are tight.

After 15 minutes the gel polish looks like how they look when I soak them, all I need to do is get a cuticle wooden stick and move the product off.

I removed the rest with the cuticle stick, my nails feel nourished, I know some look scruffy but that's due to me peeling gel off.

I really like these and think they are brilliant for travel, I have put them in my travel bag, it will save space on a bottle of nail polish remover and the pads. I really recommend these, my nails always feel moisturised and my cuticles have never looked as good.
