Beauty and nail salons offer many services, one of which is nail extensions. If everything is more or less clear with these girls, then the question of removing nails is sometimes perplexing. But everything is much simpler than it seems. To learn how to remove gel nails at home, just read the information carefully.
Step One
Required to remove the length. This will save a lot of energy and time for the procedure. Before removing gel nails at home, buy yourself special nippers. They are called a boat, cutter or guillotine. In any case, a consultant in a specialized store will understand you perfectly. The free edge of the nail "bites off" at a slight slope. This will provide a slight click, leaving only the minimum length.
Step Two
Gel featurenails - they cannot be dissolved by anything, only cut off. This can be done in two ways. The easiest and fastest is a manicure machine with nozzles. The second, slow and unreliable, is a nail file. Which one to choose is up to you. It is worth knowing that a machine with low revolutions (less than 10,000 per second) will not cope with its task in full. The nail file is not always reliable, because there is a risk of ruining the nails by being too carried away. In any case, before removing gel nails at home, purchase:
- high hardness nail file (80/80 and 100/100);
- medium hard file (150/180);
- soft nail file (200/220);
- polishing nail file;
- nourishing oil for nails and cuticles.
You can't cut in one place. Removal of material must be uniform across the entire plate. So the risk of sawing and ruining the nails is much lower. In addition, before you remove the gel nails yourself, it is advisable to consult with an extension master. He can show how and in which direction the nail file should move. Rigidity is selected from greater to lesser. First nail file 80/80 grit, last nail file 200/220.
Step three
After removing the material, it is imperative to carry out an express restoration for the nails and polish them. In order for the nail plates to rest after building up, you can make nourishing baths or masks and only then proceed to polishing. If you do this with a machine, you will need a rag attachment and a drop of oil. For example, grapefruit (essential). This will further moisturize and heal the nails. Before removing gel nails at home, evaluate your strength. Sometimes the procedure can take too long, but the master will handle it in a matter of minutes.
So, how to properly remove gel nails:
- get rid of the length and thickness;
- cutting "under zero" material;
- strengthen and restore the nail plates.
After the complete removal of the gel, it is better to refrain from re-building for several weeks. Proper nutrition and care will help not only restore natural nails, but also strengthen them, make them stronger and he althier. You may not need to re-build at all. Before removing gel nails at home, go through this procedure at the master, seeing how a professional works.
