Please gently file/cut down as necessary as they grow

If lifting is happening at the base of the nail, please DO NOT pick the gel or acrylic off – this will damage your natural nail and affect the quality of your nail treatments when they resume in time.

If you need to remove your gels/acrylic –

– Please gently soak in 100% pure acetone (available online or in chemist if you need to)

Either –

– Completely submerged in ramekins as we do in salon

Or

– Soaked into cut up cotton pads, applied over the nails, then wrapped in small squares of foil.

Leave like this for a minimum of 10 minutes, then using a cuticle pusher/wooden cuticle stick/nail file to gently remove the product as it breaks down.

Repeat as necessary, being very careful to only file or push at the product, not the natural nail.

Patience will pay off, if you are not sure if all the clear product is off or not, then stop, making sure you feel no discomfort at any time.

Wash hands, and liberally apply cuticle oil/cream to rehydrate skin and nails.

If acetone needs to be disposed of from a pot, do not do this in your indoor sinks as it will damage the pipes. Soaked cotton pads are fine to be disposed of in the bin.
