How to Remove Gel Nails
Do
you have nail gels and you want them to be removed off your fingers?
You have to know that nail gels look beautiful and appealing and that is
probably the reason why you applied them. But as time passes by, these
nail gels start to wear out and will soon look ugly and unappealing. If
this is the case, you do not want to have those ugly nail gels remain on
your fingers any longer so you want them removed.
The truth is that nail gel removal is a difficult thing to do and is
sometimes impossible. When things like these seem to annoy you, it is
highly recommended to look for the help of a beauty technician or
someone who is an expert in
manicure and
pedicure.
However, if you want to do the procedure on your own, it is best to
learn the following procedures to get you in the ways to removing nail
gels off your fingers effectively:
1st Step: Choose the Right Place to Remove the Gel Nails
When you need to do the procedure of removing nail gels off your
finger, the very first thing that you need to consider is the place
where you are going to perform the procedure. An ideal place perfect for
nail gel removal is a place where ventilation is ample. The outdoors is
highly suggested as the best place to remove nail gels. It is also a
great choice to stay beside an open window when you are removing your
nail gels. These places are good for you so that you will not inhale the
very strong odor emitted by the nail polish remover and the nail gel
itself. Smelling the odor for quite some time is deliberately
intoxicating so you better make sure that the place is well-ventilated,
hence, there’s no room for those harmful odors to stay and remain in the
place while you perform the nail gel removal.
2nd Step: Remove the Nail Polish
A lot of women skip this process as they believe that taking off the
nail gel will remove the nail polish anyway. This is a wrong belief that
had led many women feeling frustrated in removing the nail gels off
their fingers. In fact, removing the nail polish first will help you
save yourself from becoming frustrated and irritated as you do the
process. By removing the nail polish initially, it will be much easier
for you to take off the slightly dissolved nail polish residuals and
spots on your fingers. To remove the nail polish, you have to prepare
cotton balls. Use these cotton balls and apply the nail polish remover
as well. This will effectively remove all the nail polish off your
fingers.
3rd Step: Soak Your Hands
After you have removed the nail polish off your fingers, pour nail
polish into a bowl; make it half-filled. For best and faster results,
you may want to heat the nail polish a little and make use of a stronger
version of acetone which can be purchased in many drugstores around
your place. After this is done, you may put your fingertips in the bowl
allowing the gelled nails to submerge. Do this for quite some time and
as soon as you feel that the solution is no longer warm, you may add an
additional warm acetone.
4th Step: Try Removing the Gel Gently
After five minutes or the moment you have smelled a strong odor and
that the gel is a little sticky and soft, you may now try to remove the
ends of the nail gel gently. With the help of an orange stick, it will
be easier for you to pry the sticky tips off the nail beds. If you feel
that pulling the gel is a bit painful and that the nails would not
budge, simply stop pulling and continue soaking your fingertips in the
warm mixture. You have to take note that it is not advisable to pull the
nail gel with force as this can damage the real nails. Keep on soaking
your fingertips until you feel comfortable removing the nail gels off
your finger.
5th Step: Take off the Residues
After you have removed the big portions of gels on your fingers, use a
cotton ball with fresh nail polish to remove the remaining residues and
sludge on your nails. Doing this procedure can make your natural nails
slightly rough. You can remove the roughness by simply buffing them with
a nail buffer or a nail file. Keep in mind that you have to do the nail
gel removal procedure one hand at a time to make sure that your other
hand works for the other. After the first hand has been cleared from the
nail gels, you may repeat the entire procedure to your other hand.
Finishing Touches
After you have already freed your fingers from the hard and stubborn
nail gels, you will come to know that your real nails have been weakened
by the complex procedures they have undergone. The healing process
would take some time before they get back to their former health and
condition. In account to this, you have to be very extra careful with
your nails. It is highly suggested that after the procedure, it would be
best to cut your nails using the emery board design or simply make use
of the nail file constantly until you achieve the suggested nail cut
design. Finally, apply a natural coating or polish to your nails.
