'Popping' Gel Polish Remover Works In Minutes | Beauty Or Bust

Removing gel polish can be a difficult and time-consuming task, but the Candy Coat Popping Candy Gel Remover claims to make the process a whole lot easier. The remover is meant to be applied on gel polish and left on for three minutes. It makes the gel polish "pop" so you can gently push it off with no harm to the natural nail.
Producer Nico Reyes tests the remover out on her gel manicure to see if it actually works faster than the traditional acetone-soaking removal method and if it leaves her nails damage-free.

'Popping' Gel Polish Remover Works In Minutes | Beauty Or Bust

[@doggybone1994]

You know that stuff is just repackaged paint stripper right? The ones with ingredients listed you can compare the ingredients. Many available online too are fakes and are not sold through stores that are real (like Sephora, Ulta, etc.) That stuff is NOT good for your nails!

[@Call-me-Al]

Not good for your nails, not good for your skin, not good for your lungs, nor the rest of your organs

[@codename495]

Just don’t get it on your skin, mucus membranes, eyes…. any finished surfaces, pets… it is gel paint stripper.

i literally did the gel right before testing!

[@MaritaH90]

Did you remember to file the gitter nails first?

[@Call-me-Al]

Just buy straight up ethyl acetate, and use in an extremy well ventilated area. It's one of the ingredients in nail polish and dissolves nail polish faster and better than acetone (especially on stamping plates). The same way any solvent, *including whatever is in that nail solvent product you use here,* is toxic to huff, the same way ethyl acetate is too which is why you always need to *apply polish in well ventilated areas,* and *remove polish in well ventilated areas.*

[@karolinealdrich8418]

When Simply did their video a person who was getting their Ph.D. in Chemistry and found out the chemicals used to make. The candy thing is most likely the same thing but different branding.

[@laurac86]

Ethyl Acetate is in non acetone polish remover which doesn’t work as well as acetone based ones. That’s just my experience though

[@Call-me-Al]

@@laurac86 1) that highly depends on what the acetone free nail polish remover is formulated like, some are crap and some are great. 2) I said straight ethyl acetate. It cleans fine lined stamping plates better than pure acetone, in my experience. (No matter if you use pure acetone or pure ethyl acetate you do need to work in well ventilated areas.)

[@Call-me-Al]

@@laurac86 to elaborate, acetone can chemically "clump" polish. It's easiest to see if you have two identical polishes, and you dilute one with pure acetone and one with pure ethyl acetate. This is also why you usually can't use acetone to dilute nail polish with unless you're doing it right before use and don't expect to get another use out of the remaining polish afterward that use.

[@laurac86]

@@Call-me-Al - Ohh okay I see thank you for educating me! I was just thinking of non acetone remover which I’ve never had luck with. I buy pure acetone from the beauty supply store which works great. Where can one find pure ethyl acetate?? I use actual polish thinner to thin mine but just out of curiosity can that be used as a thinner?

[@suziecreamcheese211]

You have a great voice and stage presence.

[@amritagupta1987]

The fact that beauty insider is promoting another youtube channel (simply nailogical) i s hard for me too process

[@Call-me-Al]

It's a way to deflect responsibility here, I feel. She never stated what the active ingredient in the polish remover product was, just said "do your own research"

[@Call-me-Al]

I looked up the ingredients list, and the company is intentionally avoiding to name the active ingredient. Sure sounds like they're using paint stripper and are trying to hide it.

[@gypsydonovan]

I just use peel off base. It’s not for those who want a long lasting mani, but if you’re looking for a gel look for up to 3 days, it’s perfect.

[@ayshakhan9813]

That’s actually pretty cheap for something doesn’t require liquid spilling, cuz that shit is messy and smelly asf

[@Call-me-Al]

This company is really shady about this remover, they do not list what active ingredient alkali they are using in this product. That's like a food company that uses something as vague as "fruit" in the ingredients list of a juice....

[@ayshakhan9813]

Hmm yeah but at least they mention the qualities and rating of the things that a person would ideally look for

[@corig1939]

Its literally paint stripper

[@lasenoritacometa1977]

I found this so relaxing and I don’t even paint my nails

Did you file off to coat on sparkle side tho?? I missed it if you did.

[@JoMarieHartup]

I want to know what's in it.

[@vanessalake4468]

Ooh looks awesome!

[@Call-me-Al]

Please avoid it, they are not honest about the ingredients. Stick to reputable brands of acetone based remover that has a detailed list of exact ingredients or acetone free remover that has a detailed list of exact ingredients.

[@kathleendonegan5272]

My only problem with this is I can't see natural nail prep before uou applied the gel so it's going to peel off anyway

[@tuyludisler]

Lmao girl thats paint stripper used for car wheels. No shit youre feeling that "cold and tightening sensation" because its toxic. Just use acetone (or even acetone free nail polish remover) or a peel off base coat, at least its alot more safer and cheaper

[@rcantu1204]

Just wanted to point out... your makup looks soooo beautiful in this video!!

[@miracleflorestal6315]

Omg I can’t wait to try it

[@mimashiki]

Just a reminder, this product is really sketchy, some people think it’s paint stripper, which is dangerously toxic! So avoid using this product as it may lead to serious injuries.

[@rosalynrainey9570]

[@Call-me-Al]

Does the back of the bottle say what the ingredients are? If so, could you please list them?

[@dragonjoy1313]

Is it safe?

[@patheticmortal373]

Nope lol. It's repackaged highly toxic paint stripper. Just buy a peel off base coat

[@dvdgalutube]

$28!!! That’s hecka expensive. Might as well do press-on

[@patheticmortal373]

Also highly toxic. Avoid it

Anyone else do a double take at the "Removes Gillter Gel"?

Their site does not list what the active ingredient is, only that it's a type of alkali... Scammy as heck.

[@Iamyl4]

@@Call-me-Al it does say that it’s not methylene chloride though. Still disclosing would be nice

[@ryanebradbury9062]

I feel like I can always peel off my gel manicures without acetone or anything, maybe it’s just the quality of the gel I have

[@laurac86]

Or it could be your body‘s chemistry in the way it reacts with the gel which causes it to be easier to peel off. I know certain brands of regular nail polish peel off my nails much easier than others. I will say be careful peeling it because you are peeling off a bit of your natural nail as well

[@kathleendonegan5272]

It could be your prep work

[@userguide1416]

This product is toxic.

[@monie2514]

You never take a metal object and scrape your nail because that damages the actual Apex as well as the top half and middle center of a nail bed and sometimes the damage cannot just grow out and come back. Common Sense somebody should have told you you use a non-metal object from an orange wood stick to a cotton swab to take your polish off. And I'm speaking as 30 years as a licensed manicures I think I know a little bit more than a thing of two other than just the mere basics maybe because I went to school and learned how to do nails professionally that I should know what I'm talking about. Nothing wrong with taking your polish off but safety is key 😤😤🤦🏻‍♀️😵🤬🤯👎🏼💯‼️😲

[@sheilahall9060]

I tend to agree out of hard learned lessons. I used fake whole nails put under cutical skin and then peeled them off instead of soaking off. OMG took several months to get huge dents and top layer of nails still crack and peel. Please listen to professionals before trying anything on your nails wish I had.

[@SaltySeaWitch3]

Product just like this burned a hole in my nail and my nailbed is permanently disfigured. It was painful. You're irresponsible.
