How to get gel nail polish off?

How to get gel nail polish off :- Removing gel nail polish properly is important to avoid damaging your nails. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

What You’ll Need:

• Acetone (100% pure works best)
• Cotton balls or pads
• Aluminum foil (cut into small squares)
• Nail file (optional)
• Orangewood stick or cuticle pusher
• Nail buffer
• Moisturizer or cuticle oil

Steps to Remove Gel Nail Polish:

1. File the Top Layer (Optional)
   • Use a nail file to gently buff the shiny topcoat off. This helps acetone penetrate faster.
2. Soak Cotton in Acetone
   • Fully saturate a cotton ball or pad with acetone.
3. Wrap Your Nails
   • Place the soaked cotton on your nail and wrap it tightly with aluminum foil.
   • Repeat for all nails.
4. Wait 10–15 Minutes
   • Let the acetone soak into the gel polish.
5. Remove Foil & Cotton
   • Gently twist and slide off the foil and cotton. The gel polish should look flaky.
6. Gently Push Off Residue
   • Use an orangewood stick or cuticle pusher to remove any remaining polish.
   • Don’t scrape too hard to avoid nail damage.
7. Buff & Moisturize
   • Lightly buff nails to smooth them out.
   • Apply cuticle oil and moisturizer to rehydrate your nails.

Alternative Method (Without Foil):

• Soak your fingertips in a bowl of acetone for 10–15 minutes, then follow steps 5–7.
