15 DIY Manicure Tips and Tricks Perfect for Novices

2. Save on the Cost of Removing Gel Manicures and Do It Yourself

Professional gel removal can be expensive, but if done correctly, you can safely remove gel polish at home without damaging your natural nails. First gather your supplies: a nail file, cotton pads, pure acetone nail paint remover, aluminum foil, First, gently polish your gel coat to break the seal. For each nail, cut ten exactly sized cotton pad pieces and thoroughly soak them with acetone-based remover. Straight on the nail, direct each soaked cotton piece; then, cover each finger tightly with foil to create a warm environment, accelerating the removal process. The heat of the foil facilitates the easier passage of acetone across the gel layers. Wait twenty minutes; struggle against the need to check! When you take off the foil, the gel should pull off easily with a wooden orange stick. Should some difficult stains still show, continue the method for five to ten more minutes. After removal, gently wash your hands and dab cuticle oil and hand lotion to balance acetone's drying effects.
