Gel nails are popular because they look fantastic and last longer than regular polish. But they do eventually have to come off, which can be a challenge. Fortunately, there’s a tried-and-true method for removing gel nails that won’t damage your natural nails. Here’s how to take off gel nails:
Soak Your Nails: Start by soaking your nails in warm, soapy water. This will help to loosen the gel and make it easier to remove. Soak for 10-15 minutes.
Scrape Off Gel: After soaking, use a cuticle pusher to gently scrape off the excess gel. Try to go slow and avoid scratching your nails.
Buff Nails: Use a coarse nail file to buff off any remaining gel and smooth out the surface of the nail.
Exfoliate Cuticles: Apply cuticle oil to your fingertips and gently massage in and around your cuticles. This will help to dissolve the gel and make it easier to remove.
Soak Again: Return your nails to the warm, soapy water and soak again for 10-15 minutes.
Peel or Clip Gel: Use your fingertips to peel away the remaining gel or use a cuticle nipper to clip it off. Do not use too much force as this could damage your natural nails.
Moisturize: Apply cuticle oil or hand cream to moisturize your nails and keep them healthy.
By following these simple steps, you will be able to remove your gel nails quickly and easily, without damaging your natural nails. Be sure to take your time and never rush the removal process.
