To begin, the first step in the process of removing gel nail polish is to take extra care while buffing your nails. It's important to be gentle to avoid causing any damage to your nails and to ensure that the nail polish is evenly buffed.
Moving on to the next step, soaking your nails is crucial for the effective removal of gel nail polish. Allow your nails to soak for approximately 15 minutes, ensuring that each nail is fully immersed in the soaking solution. To maximize the soaking process, use cotton pads soaked in the solution and place them on each nail. Using nail clips, secure the cotton pads tightly to firmly grip your fingers and allow for effortless nail polish removal.
Now, it's time to tackle the gel nail polish. Utilize cuticle pushers to gently and meticulously remove the gel nail polish from your nails. In case you encounter any difficulty while sliding off the gel nail polish, don't hesitate to re-soak your nails using pure acetone. This will help soften the remaining nail polish and make it easier to remove.
Moving on to the fourth step, it's important to focus on the final touches. Buff and file your nails, sanding the nail surface to create a smooth finish while eliminating any traces of grease. By doing so, you are ensuring that your nails are ready for the next stage of the process.
Congratulations! At this point, you have successfully removed the gel nail polish. Now, it's time to prioritize your nails' recovery and give them some well-deserved treatment.
