Decorating nails with gel polish is the most popular solution for manicure in recent years. <\/span>Such a design stays on the nails for a long time, does not lose its attractiveness and integrity when doing everyday activities.<\/span> With the help of gel materials, you can create real works of art on your nails.<\/span> But sooner or later, the coating begins to flake off, chip off, and bothersome.<\/span> The optimal solution is to contact a manicure master to remove the old gel polish and apply a new coating.<\/span> But in some cases, it is not possible to visit a specialist and a natural question arises –<\/span> <\/span>how to remove gel polish at home <\/span>?<\/span><\/p>\n

The procedure can be performed independently.<\/span> To do this, you can use manicure tools – a nail file with a certain abrasiveness index in grit.<\/span> An acetone-containing agent is also suitable – a liquid that helps dissolve the coating.<\/span> <\/span>Removing gel polish <\/span>only at first glance seems like a simple task.<\/span> As practice shows, this work has its own nuances.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

REMOVING GEL POLISH WITH A FILE AND ACETONE<\/span><\/h2>\n

The easiest way to remove the coating from the surface of the nail plate is by cutting.<\/span> Craftsmen do this with a cutter – in a few minutes you can clean all the nails.<\/span> But you hardly have such a device at home.<\/span> Use a nail file.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Which file to choose to <\/span>quickly remove gel polish <\/span>and not damage your nails?<\/span> Pay attention to the material on the basis of which the tool is made.<\/span> Wooden and paper products cannot be sterilized and are difficult to disinfect – they are disposable.<\/span> Glass, crystal, ceramic files are more expensive, but easier to process.<\/span> Be careful when using a metal file – it can damage the nail plate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When <\/span>removing<\/span> gel polish, <\/span>be careful – it <\/span>will be easier to<\/span> remove <\/span>if you choose a file with the required abrasive hardness.<\/span> It is measured in grit and should be between 180-250 grit.<\/span> Stiffer files can damage the top layer of the nail plate, less rigid files will not cope with the task.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How <\/span>to remove gel polish with a <\/span>file?<\/span> File the nails with a buff for polishing.<\/span> It will help remove the top glossy coat.<\/span> The next step is to treat nails with a soapy solution at room temperature.<\/span> Wipe the nails with a napkin, apply a greasy cream to the skin around the nails.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
