All good things must eventually come to an end, including your favorite manicure. The removal process can prove just as important as polish application, particularly when it comes to ensuring the health of your nails. In case your favorite salon is booked up or you're considering a DIY removal, here's how to remove gel and dip powder nails without sacrificing the quality of your nails.
Gather Your ToolsAccording to Molly Romah, lead nail tech at Chillhouse, you'll want to begin by ensuring you have everything needed for removal. For gel nails, she recommends having pure acetone, cotton, a nail file and aluminum foil. As an added bonus, you may also want to make sure your Netflix is nearby, as the soaking process may seem to go a lot faster when you have something to watch.
Soak your nails for about 15 minutes and then check on the progress."The gel polish should look as if it is falling off the nail and lifted," Romah said."The remaining polish should be able to be removed with little to no pressure. If not, go back and soak for another five minutes and try again." Similar to the longevity of gel nails, dip powder nails will last roughly two to three weeks, Darlene Sritapan, OPI North America Education & Capability Manager, tells NYLON. Although the safest method of removal will always be with the help of a nail technician, Sritapan shared her tips for at home removal, noting that when dip powder nails are left on too long, lifting becomes present, and moisture can great trapped, leading to bacteria in the nail.
Wrap It UpAfter filing is complete, you'll want to soak a cotton ball in the nail polish remove. Then, place the cotton ball on top of your nail, and wrap the cotton ball and your nail in foil. According to Sritapan, you should soak for at least 20 to 25 minutes, and for even better penetration, she suggested wrapping your hand in a warm towel.
