Hard Gel Extension or Infill Removal
This is the thicker clear gel that we use with a tip extension or apply to your nails before applying the gel polish colour for added strength. The only way to remove this get is to file it off with an abrasive grit nail file like we use in the salon, it will not soak off.
Video Demo: click [here]
What you will Need:
nail file - buffing block - nail strengthener.
First file the top of your gel to remove the colour. Once you've removed the colour carefully file away the clear hard gel that is under the colour, being careful not to over file. You only need to file away the bulk of the gel, not the whole lot, as you can leave a thin layer on your nails to grow out.
Shorten your nails with the file if required. Use a buffing block to gently smooth over the top of the nails when you have filed off as much of the gel without getting to your natural nail..
Wash and dry your nails thoroughly and paint 2 coats of nail strengthener or conditioner, apply any cuticle oil or hand cream into the nails and cuticles and massage to help condition them.
Gel Polish Removal
This is the thinner gel that we paint on the nail like polish and set under the light box.
Demo Video: click [here]
What you will Need
10 pieces of foils – 10 pieces of cotton wool - 100ml pure acetone – nail file – wood cuticle pusher to scrape off gel – buffing block - nail strengthener.
First file the top of your gel gently to break the seal and remove the shine, so they soak off easier and quicker.
Soak the cotton wool with acetone and place over each nail and wrap nails in foil once all 10 fingers are wrapped, leave for 15 minutes.
Remove 1 foil at a time and use a wooden pusher to scrape off your gel.
If it doesn’t all come off, put the foil back on and then go to the next nail.
Repeat process until it all comes off.
If your gel doesn’t all come off and there are clear uneven looking bits still on the nail, you can use the pink block to gently smooth them. You don’t need to worry about getting every last bit off, as it can grow out no problem.
