Gel Polish - Removal
The easiest and fastest way to remove Gel Polish is to file the color off. You can advantageously apply 2 layers of Base Coat, so you know that as soon as you see the color is gone when you have filed, you still haven't hit your natural nail yet. You don't need to remove all products before applying new ones.
Important. It is important that you do not file on the surface with a file that is below 240 grid!
Important knowledge
Hygiene. Hygiene is very important when doing nails both on others and yourself. Poor hygiene can cause the spread of viruses, bacteria and diseases (e.g. nail fungus). It can also cause the product to lift and thereby cause "green spots". Always make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before starting to do nails. Always clean your utensils after use. Clean your files with Gel Wipe . also clean your tools with soap and water, then clean with Gel Wipe.
Preparation. Clean the nail with Gel Wipe. Then push the cuticle back with a cuticle pusher. It is very important that there is no cuticle left on the nail, as this means that the product cannot stick to the nail. You can use our Cuticle file to gently remove cuticles. Then buff the entire nail with a buffer. The buffer must have a grit of 240 or greater. You must NEVER file on the natural nail with a file or buffer that is coarser than that. The buffer must be ultra fine as it can damage the nail if you file on it. After the buffet, file dust is brushed away with a Dust brush. Then use a pad with Gel Wipe to clean the nail before applying product.
Allergy. Allergy to the product is rare. Always make sure that no product gets on the skin. If product gets on the skin, it must be removed immediately. Remove the product on the skin with a brush dipped in Gel Wipe. Symptoms of allergy are: Itching, swelling and redness. If you get these symptoms, it is extra important that you protect yourself extra well from not getting the product on the skin. Bodies do not react in the same way, therefore some may become allergic to a product and others not.
