Removal is the worst part for me. Hate it sooo much. I do my own nails since I can’t afford going to the nail salon, but I’m thinking of paying just for the removal and continuing to do my nails myself. That way I’m still saving some money and some of my sanity as well lol

If you put the gel on your natural nails you don't have to use acetone. You can just soak them in warm water. First you have to get that top layer off like the lady did in this video.

I think it’s a matter of wait in the beginning or wait in the end, so with regular polish, you have to wait in the beginning and with gel polish to wait in the end.

I just put gel nail polish on and I kept messing up and am now stuck with bumpy ruined nails that won’t come off. I don’t even have acetone…..I’m never doing gel nails again

Thank you for sharing this info. I'm going to try these methods. Like many of the commenters, I got a gel polish manicure for the first time 3 weeks ago & I had no idea that peeling the polish off would be so difficult or damage my natural nails. 🙄 😒 I can't afford to go to a salon every 2-3 weeks, so this will be my last time getting gels.

Secret: Buff down the polish on your nails Then rub Vaseline over all your nails Now file each nail And voila!

This is dope! Very informative!! I'm tired of paying so much in nail salons. Thx sooo much!! I'm definitely buying items that support you!

I got a set of silicone nail soak off caps from Amazon and I love them. They are easy to put on and they prevent the acetone from evaporating. They aren't bulky, and allow you to use your fingers.

I’ve used those before and I like them too!

thank you so much! And a tip! You can combine the tegular aluminium method with putting the lil clips so the acetone doesnt evaporate and the foil doesnt come off!!

Thank you! This was really informative....ive just bought a gel nail kit and excited to do my own nails, but didnt know much about taking them off ! Wish me lucj 😊

Thanks for this it’s super helpful! I’m def going to try as I have gel currently on my nails rn!!

What a great and informative video!! Thank you!

Thank you SO MUCH Ms. Gabby! What a great summation of the methods for us newbies. 🙃I just applied at-home gel polish to my finger nails (to try and break a habit of picking at my nails) last night and am amazed at how well it went and looks. This morning, it dawned on me that all these layers of lovey gloss were going to need to come off at some point in time...and now I can be prepared! To me, the finger trays look like the simplest, so I will try that first. I will definitely stick with orange sticks for the "scraping," based on your recommendation.

I recently bought a used ice tray at a thrift store to try insteac of buying a tray. I like the idea of the cotton balls in addition to the tray. it worked but the acetone also ended up on my skin which kinda surprised me.

I just tried gel nail polish because I went on a long trip and did not wanted my polish to come out, but I am going back to the salon to take it off and just apply regular nail polish until my next vacation. I have natural nails that grow really fast and with the gel nail polish people think they are acrylic. I often do my own nail polish at home but do not use the gel ones. Thanks for the different methods. I will take them into consideration if I decide to buy gel nail polish. This year I will like to learn to do my own nail design.

Thank You so much for your video! I had gel nails for the very first time and was trying to wipe the polish off with my acetone remover, but realized that it’s not that simple. A FEW of my gel nails were easy to peel off with no problem. Trying to get the other 2 off is challenging

Try not to peel off gel polish! It rips off the top layer of your nail, causing damage, and pain under the UV lamp.

Can i just file them off completely, or do i have to do the soak off? And if i have a nail polish remover that had acetone in it, can i just let them sit in that? Also, can i just dunk my nails in a cup of acetone or does it have to be the cotton soak?

the hand in bag in water worked for me! Thanks 😊

Hi, I’m a nail artist content creator so I don’t have time to soak off my nails or file them. I heard about the liquid latex as a peel off base coat to remove the gel polish easily. Did you try this method? Thank you ☺️

how long soak nails in acetone

The 180 file is a MUST for at home gel removal!!! If you don't have one....ORDER ONE ASAP!!

I use the hand in bag into the hot water method its easier for me considering I'm still tryna get use to the e.file

Without foil? Just remover and then bag and hot water?

How do you keep your nails from breaking? I have THICK strong nails, but once I get them all to a point that I love the length, one of them always breaks! Your nails are perfect in every video. Do you just not paint your hand with a broken nail on video?

@GabbyAngelique

Жыл бұрын

I’m just really careful with my nails! I try not to use them as “tools” to open things and I try not to submerge them in water too long! Keeping product on your nails will help to act as a barrier and avoid breaks too

Mine usually just hurts peeling off after a couple days when that happens I peeled off the rest of the way go buff my nails out reapplied a different colour. I’m doing all the steps right it’s just the way I prefer to do it. I don’t like doing all those extra stuff that you guys do because I hate absolutely despise 100%makes me cringe the feeling of cotton

Mylee gel remover in a bottle is a game changer,remove top coat with file,paint on like nail polish,watch it bubble up and scrape off after 10 mins.....

Why not put the clips on top of the foil?

The foil works best for me, but while I was researching this for any improved methods, I scraped the gel of my toes with my fingernails

I got a soak off bowl, but it's a bowl with an insert so you can reserve the acetone. Wish it had a lid so it could just stay in the bowl. Maybe one of those stretchy silicone lids would work! 😁

My nails cant handle files. No doubt my nails are strong as hell but the moment i use one it breaks past the tip of my finger

I so struggle with this! I’ve just started doing mine at home and removing is the worst part. What is everyone doing for their feet???

At this point, it's so time consuming, I am done with gel.

hi! So you want to grab a bag and put some acetone and a paper towel at the bottom of it. Then you’re going to take the whole bag and place it into a bowl of warm/hot water. Then put your hand into the bag. I hope that helps!

Of all the styles you’ve done on your nails (gel, dip, acrylic, nail tips, press ons), what do you find to be the most damaging?

@fiemy6888

Its really not the product that damages the nails, its the prep and removal process. They can all be done safely without damage, and they can all cause damage

@DivergentBeautyFlair

By far acrylic is the most damaging to your natural nails. With acrylic you need to file a lot of the surface of your natural nail and when you take the acrylic off it weakens your natural nails and causes a lot of damage. Gel UV polish, Dip, nail tips & press ons are the least damaging to your natural nails.
