We don't need you to show us your nails to know what they look like. And if there's one thing none of us like, it's having our nails chipped and looking unkempt. Gel polish was, in fact, one of the best inventions in the beauty universe. But the bad news is that there's no point in having acetone at home when the appearance of our hands starts to deteriorate.
If you're at home with gel nails – and, obviously, you can't go out due to the pandemic we're experiencing –, we leave you a guide on how to remove gel polish without ruining your nails. Don't make the mistake of gnawing on them, as it is not only unhygienic, but also dangerous, due to the fungi that can develop. We leave you with a very easy, quick and safe formula for removing this type of nail polish, without leaving the sofa.
You will need:
1 lime;
Aluminum foil;
Cotton;
Acetone;
Varnish removal tool or orange stick.
1. First, remove the shiny part of the nail polish until you can see your nail;
2. Then, soak the cotton in acetone, place it on each nail and cover with aluminum foil. Leave to act for around 15 minutes;
3. When you remove the aluminum from your finger, you will see that the nail polish has come off the nail. With the help of a nail polish removal tool, scrape off the nail polish so that there is no product on the nail;
4. Although your nails are not weakened, it is essential to take some care. As soon as you run out of nail polish, heat sweet almond oil and dip your fingers in the oil for a few minutes.
With this method, removing gel polish at home will never be a nightmare again. But be careful: if you intend to repeat this process several times, it is better to invest in a specific remover and not in acetone.
