How to Remove Gel Polish at Home

All girls love the experience of going to the salon and having their nail polished, and lots of them love the gel nail polish,with its long lasting shiny look, and the way it gets the nails hard and strong. Removing it became a dilemma! so I will explain the way you can remove it at home in simple steps:

Preparing to remove:

the items you will need are the below: 

1. cotton

cotton

2. Acetone (it's better to have the ones with high percentage of acetone)

3. foil 
4. nail file 
5. wooden orange stick

The Removing phase:

 1. use the nail file to scuff the surface of the nail, this will allow the acetone to penetrate below the polish  

2. soak the cotton with a good amount of acetone, put it on the foil and, then wrap your finger in it, in order to dissolve the Gel polish gradually without submerging your entire hand in a bowl of remover.  3. wait for approximately 15 to 20 minute, then slide the foil up, and it will remove the gel polish with it! 4. use a wood stick to scrape off the rest of the polish  

now you might feel that your nails got dry, and you might actually notice visible flakes of your nails being shredded off your nail beds 

 I recommend using the Nail Buffer to smooth the nails, and polish buff and shine the nails as a final step!  P.S. don't forget to use some moisturiser, preferably with vitamin E to restore the healthy look to your nail!
