Tips to remove gel nails at home
It is always best to remove gel nails with the help of nail technicians at a professional nail bar, where they have the best quality products. However, if you want to do it yourself, you must invest in a gel remover especially formulated for this. Begin by soaking cotton in the gel remover and placing on your nail carefully. Using a foil, wrap it up and then cover with a hand towel. This can take almost an hour. When you see the gel sliding off, use a clean cuticle pusher and clean the nail bed. Be gentle and then use cuticle oil. Apply a generous coat of cuticle moisturiser.
Keep in mind…
Gels are hardened by curing under LED lamp.
Natural nails do not need to breathe, so it is okay to cover them with gel.
Using gel nails can weaken nail beds because of the removal process. You need to make sure that you ask your nail technician to remove them carefully.
LED curing is considered to be much safer than the older method of using UV driers.
You could use at-home-gel-kits too, but you need to be steady and ready to work minute details if you want perfect looking gel nails.
