How to remove gel polish without damaging the nails

Soak-off gel polish is great for many reasons, but its one downfall is the fact that improper removal can damage the nail underneath the manicure. Remember that gel nail polish should come away with ease, without the need for scraping. The improper removal of gel polish can cause cracks, pits, and scrapes on the nails which can show up as white spots on the nail surface. These occurrences are often a result of not allowing the gel to soak long enough in the product to break the bond from the natural nail.

From this, there would need to be force applied to remove them which can actually take away a thin layer of the nail plate. Sometimes, clients will notice these imperfections on their nails and query the technician and would receive a reply about how it is a natural reaction from the acetone the nail is soaked in when this is not the case.

This could be misleading to the client as acetone can remove oils from the nails, however, the nail plate itself does not receive any damage.

In order to save the nails from acquiring any chips, pits and cracks, they will need to be left to soak off for a long time. UV Gel Nails Polish

Simple trick can make your gel manicure last longer


Gel Nail Polish You’re finished your gel manicure and you’re feeling pretty good now that you’ve pampered yourself.

Naturally, you’ll want to keep your gel manicure on for as long as possible before going in for a refill. The entire process of paint, cure, repeat, can take a little longer than other manicures, however, gel manicures is the closest resemblance to a natural nail that we can receive, especially a French manicure! There’s a simple step you can do to make your gel nails last longer than the given time period of approximately 2-3 weeks, and it’s this: leaving your nails under the UV lamp a little longer. When polish isn’t cured long enough, it hasn’t received enough UV light which leaves the polish weak and not as firm as it should be. Getting the most out of the amount of money you spend on your manicure is spending more time under the UV lamp to ensure that the gel cures and is more durable.


However, there is a downside to over exposure of the UV lamp. The extra time under the lamp may cure the polymers in the polish, but it does pose as a risk for your skin because of the exposure to UV light. There shouldn’t be too much worry over this matter as the area at risk is a small part of your skin and can be prevented through wearing sun screen.
