I always thought we have to visit the nail palour for gel removal. Never did I know we can DIY at home ourselves! Thanks to Yan for telling me, giving me the idea to go search for help on Youtube. LOL~ such a step-by-step tutorial.
You need to get ready all your tools before you start. Once you start, you’ll be pretty handicapped. Haha.. because we are doing it on our own, we have to do it hand by hand, instead of both hands together.
1) Nail Polish Remover with Acetone
2) A pair of Scissors
To cut the cotton pad/aluminium foil
3) Cotton Pads
Cut them into small squares, so that you only soak your nails, not the whole finger
4) Aluminium Foil
Cut them into small squares, just nice to wrap around your nail.
5) Orangewood Cuticle Stick
(I do not have it, so I used the nail buffer side of my nailcutter :p)
6) Nail Treatment Polish / Cuticle Oil
Your nails will be weaker after removal, so take care of them!
Ta-da~ these are my nails in process of gelish removal. I heard that if you buff your nails before the whole removal process, it has even better results!
