How to quickly remove gel polish from nails at home?

In fact, you can get rid of gel polish by 2 methods: cut down and dissolve. We present to your attention several different instructions, through which you will be able, without harming yourself, to remove gel polish at home and save money on this procedure.

Let's start with the classic method - dissolving gel polish. To do this, you will need a gel polish remover (remover), a buff or a soft file for nail plates (abrasiveness from 180 to 240 grit), foil, cotton pads.

• Remove the gloss by spoiling the finish coat with a buff or a soft nail file. Damage to the integrity of the top allows the gel polish remover to diffuse deeper into the multi-layer coating. Remember to grind off the sealed end faces.
• Cut and divide the cotton pads into small pieces so that any of them covers the nail plates completely. After wetting the pieces in the remover, cover the nail plates with them. Wrap foil around each finger.

• After keeping the time prescribed by the manufacturer (from 10 to 15 minutes), remove one winding and try to remove the softened gel - it can be easily erased with an orange tree stick or a manicure scraper (pusher). Move along the growth of the nail plate so as not to delaminate it.
• Clean up what's left with a mild buff. After - wash your hands and smear the cuticle with oil. Then get started with your manicure.

If available, use a specialized gel polish remover.

You can fix cotton pads on the nail plate using specialized clips (another name - clothespin, clip), medical airtight plaster, or branded foil devices.

Do not rip off all fingers at the same time. The softened varnish can harden again, and the soaking process will need to be done again. And this is not only exhausting, but also not harmless.

A variety of devices are dynamically being introduced into cosmetic procedures for treating nails, and if there is no apparatus for neat coloring of nail plates yet, then a device for thinning gel polish has already been introduced.

So, if you are interested in the question of how to remove gel polish without the use of foil, then the answer to it can be a steamer - an apparatus that performs the function of a "compress".

Simply insert your fingers into the holes of the device, after a while, take out and remove the softened substance with an orange stick. The installation functions due to the volatilization of the solvent warming up in it.

Continuing the dialogue on how to remove the gel polish, it is necessary to say about the device using special cutters. Cutting a manicure with a nail cutter is considered by nail masters to be the most gentle nail polish removal method.

When it comes to the question of which cutter to use to remove gel polish, it is best for beginners to test on a non-solid yellow belt cutter.

• After setting the required number of revolutions (when working with a ceramic cutter - 10000-15000, and for carbide cutters at least 20,000), start cutting the manicure, smoothly moving from the cuticle to the edge of the nail plate.
• Don't stay in one area. Distribute the pressure evenly. Peel off the cover, not the nail plates. Remove the coating down to the base, which is considered an indication that the process needs to be stopped.
• Upon completion of removing the colored layer, you can polish the base with a soft buff, and then do a manicure or, after polishing, give the nail plates a “rest” by treating them and the cuticle with oil.

It is possible to remove the gel polish from the nail plates with an ordinary file, but this method is quite laborious. It will come in handy when there are no other opportunities, but there is free time.

The required file abrasiveness is from 100 to 140 grit. When using a file, do not cut the skin. Proceed as in the cutter version up to the base.

In order to observe the level of cutting, blow off the dust from time to time and treat the nail plate with a degreaser. Remove the base with a soft buff, or save it by polishing the detachments and irregularities.

After removing the gel polish, the nail plates can look simply frightening, since there is a huge chance of overdrying them. In no case do not be alarmed, just smear specialized oil on the nail plates and cuticles. You can buy it at any store that sells cosmetics. When it is not at hand, the ordinary will do. The result will be less visible.

The worst mistake is to manually separate the gel polish from the nail plates. Thus, it is possible to cause enormous harm to the nails, which from such influences become thinner and weaker.

Another misconception is to use improvised means to remove gel polish without prior clarification of the aspects of the event.

Such mistakes in resolving the question of how to remove gel polish from nails at home lead to negative myths about the dangers of gel coatings, which, in fact, are far-fetched. It is possible to remove the gel polish on your own using harmless methods. Some of them have been presented above.

Now that you know how to quickly erase or wash off the gel coating from the nail plates at home, one little nail secret should be revealed - not all formulations lend themselves to dissolution. In this regard, before applying the gel varnish to the nail plates, it is advisable to inquire about the properties of the agent used.
