Gel Removal at home

=========

PROCESS:

For gel polish/Apres Gel-x/theSocialite gel overlay

=========

Step 1:

Wash your hands w/ soap & water, towel dry

Step 2:

Determine if you need to remove length, to do so, use fingernail clippers to snip excess length off. Use a coarse file & lightly buff off the shiny topcoat layer of the nail. This will help the acetone penetrate the gel resins.

Note, you can also use a small glass bowl - fill with Acetone & soak your hand for product removal.

Step 3:

Saturate a piece of cotton with pure Acetone & place over the nail & wrap with foil. This will hold the cotton in place on top of the nail.

Note, you can also use a small glass bowl - fill with Acetone & soak your hand for product removal.

Step 4:

Let soak for 15 - 20 minutes. Air will cause the resins in the gel to re-harden, so ensure to remain soaking until ready to scrape off the product (discussed in the next step).

-repeat steps 3 & 4 if you need more gel removed; if you have a gel overlay, you can leave the majority of the gel on & buff. It acts as a hardener to strengthen your nail.

Step 5:

Using a twisting motion, pull the foil & cotton off of the nail. Gently use a nail wood stick or cuticle pusher to scrape off the gel.

-repeat steps 3 & 4 if you need more gel removed; if you have a gel overlay, you can leave the majority of the gel on & buff. It acts as a hardener to strengthen your nail.

Step 6:

With a nail buffer, smooth out the nail.

Final Step - I promise:

Wash debris off your hands & moisturize.
