Jessica,
if they are "true gel nails" then the only way to remove them is to file them off. acrylics will disolve in acetone. try soaking one in acetone. if you can't find pure acetone, then soak it in polish remover that has acetone. if they disolve then you don't have gel. i will be very interested in the results. there don't seem to be too many true gel nails out there.

I soaked for 20 minutes in 100% acetone to no avail. I am picking and tweezing one nail a day at this point.

Julie honey please don't pick and tweeze. soak and file. soak in acetone and file. picking will only make your poor nails worse. just be careful when filing not to file the nal down too much.

Julie,
i second that. picking and tweezing is just going to ruin anything you've got left. soak for longer in warm acetone and if that doesn't work then you just have to start filing. sounds like you've either got acrylics with MMA in the fill-ins or gel. either way they're tough to remove.

is it possible to have acrylics on the bottom and gels on the top. I just got my nails done and I came out kinda confused on what I got. I wanted gels, but the nail tech was using this gel powder on my right hand, but it came out all wrong and with bubbles I think, so she took it all off with a drill and started over with some other powder which i'm thinking is acrylics. I think she did something wrong and didn't say anything. Last thing she put on was this clear gel substance that she brushed on and I had to put my hand under the UV light. Is possible to try to file it down myself?

eve,
there is no such thing as gel powder. it was acrylic. i hope the "tech" didn't do too much damage with the drill. you can file them down yourself, but i'm betting that if you soak in acetone remover they will probably melt right off. let us know how it goes.

Someone said that there is no such thing as gel powder? Is that really true? I just had mine done for the 1st time about a month ago. I really like them but they used a powder. I asked 2 times to be sure it was gel and they said yes. Is it really acrylic?

Jean,
as far as i know, true gels are just that-gel. nothing is mixed together, as in liquid and powder to form a ball of acrylic. gel is already in "liquid" form when applied. i have a day spa right up the street from me and i've gotten to know the owner and employees quite well and have been asking a lot of questions about the true gel nails just so i could answer these questions correctly. they wanted to do nails without getting into the acrylic merry-go-round and really did their homework on finding the safest gels out there. i am not advocating enhancements by any means, but i guess if someone is set on doing them, then gels seem to be "somewhat less toxic", as long as that's what they really are. i am just very doubtful you are getting gels and i don't know how to tell you to go about finding out other than asking to see the ingredients or bottles. you should be getting what you're paying for though. they are much harder to do correctly and therefore cost more.
