Beauty salons and manicure salons offer many services, one of which is nail extension. If with these girls everything is more or less clear, then the question of removing nails sometimes baffles. But everything is much simpler than it seems. To learn how to remove gel nails at home, you just need to carefully study the information.
Step one
It is required to remove the length. This will significantly save strength, as well as time for the procedure. Before you remove gel nails at home, buy yourself special nippers. They are called boat, boat or guillotine. In any case, a consultant in a specialized store will understand you perfectly. The free edge of the marigold "bites off" under a slight slope. This will provide an easy click, after which only a minimal length will remain.
Second step
A feature of gel nails is that they cannot be dissolved with anything, only cut down. There are two ways to do this. The simplest and fastest is a manicure machine with nozzles. The second, slow and unreliable, is a nail file. Which one to choose, you decide for yourself. It is worth knowing that a machine with low speeds (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 spoiling the nails, too carried away. In any case, before removing gel nails at home, get:
- a file of high rigidity (80/80 and 100/100);
- medium hardness file (150/180);
- soft nail file (200/220);
- polishing nail file;
- nutritious oil for nails and cuticles.
Do not cut in one place. The removal of material should take place evenly throughout the plate. So the risk of sawing and spoiling the nails is much lower. In addition, before you remove the gel nails, it is advisable to consult with a master on building. It can show how and in which direction the nail file should move. Rigidity is selected from greater to less. First, the 80/80 grit file, the last - 200/220.
Step three
After removing the material, it is necessary to carry out express restoration for nails and polish them. So that the nail plates rest after building, you can make nourishing baths or masks and then proceed to polishing. If you do this using a machine, you will need a rag nozzle and a drop of oil. For example, grapefruit (ethereal). It additionally moisturizes and heals nails. Before you remove gel nails at home, evaluate your strength. Sometimes the procedure can take too much time, but the master will cope with it in a matter of minutes.
So, how to remove gel nails:
- get rid of length and thickness;
- to cut "under zero" material;
- strengthen and restore the nail plates.
After complete removal of the gel, it is better to refrain from re-building for several weeks. Proper nutrition and care will not only help restore natural nails, but also strengthen them, make them stronger and healthier. You may not need to re-build at all. Before removing gel nails at home, go through this procedure with the master, watching how a professional works.
