Include Gel Removal

Service Description

Oh, it's time to bid adieu to your old gel manicure and make way for a fresh new look! Removing nail gel doesn't have to be a daunting task - in fact, it can be quite fun! Get ready to say goodbye to those fabulous but fading nails and prepare yourself for a manicure session that will leave you feeling pampered and rejuvenated. First things first, gather your supplies. You'll need acetone, cotton balls or pads, aluminium foil, a trusty nail file, and a bit of patience (because good things come to those who wait!). Start by gently buffing the surface of your gel nails with a nail file. This step helps to break the seal and allows the acetone to penetrate the gel more effectively. Remember, be gentle - we want to remove the gel, not your entire nail! Next, soak a cotton ball or pad in acetone and place it directly on top of your buffed gel nail. To keep it in place, wrap a small piece of aluminium foil around your finger, creating a snug little package. Repeat this process for all of your gel nails, creating a glamorous aluminium foil army on your fingertips! Now comes the waiting game. Relax, sit back, and let the acetone work its magic. Leave the foil wraps on for about 10-15 minutes to allow the acetone to break down the gel completely. This is the perfect time to catch up on your favourite TV show, read a chapter of that book you've been neglecting, or simply take a moment to indulge in some self-care. After the waiting period, it's time to unveil your gel-free nails! One by one, carefully remove the foil wraps from your fingers. You might notice that the gel has become a bit gummy and easy to remove. Use a gentle pushing motion with a cuticle pusher or orangewood stick to gently slide off the gel. It should come off easily, revealing your natural nails underneath. If you encounter any stubborn remnants of gel that refuse to budge, simply repeat the soaking process for a few more minutes. Patience is key here - you want your nails to feel fresh and fabulous! Once all the gel has been successfully removed, give your nails a quick rinse with warm water and pat them dry. Take a moment to admire your naked nails and appreciate the clean slate that awaits your creative vision. Now that your nails are gel-free and ready for a makeover, it's time to schedule that manicure session and let your nail artist work their magic.
