Can I use regular nail polish to remove gel nail polish that's like a month old?

Need to use pure acetone
Put on tissue or contain ball. Place on fingernail. Wrap in foil on nail. Leave 10 min.
Need to scrape off whatever is left.

You need nail polish remover that is pure, or almost pure, acetone.

Cut up some cotton pads, and cut foil into strips. Also have a disposable glove.

Roughen surface of gels with emery board. Soak cotton pad in acetone, place over nail, and secure with foil Do one hand at a time, and hold the foils on with the glove. Leave on about 15 minutes. The gels should slide off, but you may need to push at them with a stick to get it all off. Use a file to remove any bits left.

I was not able to get it off on my own even with the acetone and aluminum foil. Ended up having to go back to the salon and decided it's not worth it to do a gel manicure again.

At a month old, I’m usually able to just peel it off pretty easily.
