To remove gel nail polish, you will need acetone, cotton balls, aluminum foil, and a nail file. Here's how you can remove gel nail polish at home:
-
Lightly file the shiny top coat of the gel polish to break the seal.
-
Soak a cotton ball in acetone and place it on top of your nail.
-
Wrap each fingertip with the soaked cotton ball in aluminum foil to keep it in place.
-
Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the acetone to break down the gel polish.
-
Gently remove the foil and cotton ball, and use a cuticle pusher or a gentle nail tool to push off the softened gel polish.
-
Repeat the process if necessary until all the gel polish is removed.
-
Wash your hands with soap and water, then apply cuticle oil or hand cream to rehydrate your nails and cuticles.
Remember to moisturize your nails and cuticles after removing gel polish to prevent them from drying out.
