Five nail removal tutorials that don't hurt your nails
Doing manicure is fashionable and beautiful, yet it is easy to apply it, but hard to remove it. If you are not careful, your nails will be thinned and become miserable. Next, we will explain how to remove nail polish, nail gel, Acrylic fake nail, builder gel, and acrylic powder nail.
Nail polish is made from a mixture of volatile chemical solvents and colorants, so it can be quickly broken down with alcohol, which are also solvents. You only need to use the alcohol nail removal pack to gently press and rub to quickly remove it. This is currently the quickest and simplest way to remove nail polish.
Nail polish is mainly a mixture of resin, photoinitiator and color powder. After being exposed to a specific UV light, it will harden quickly. The nail gel material will become strong after curing and will not dissolve easily with the solvent. The best way to remove the nail gel is to sand the surface of the top coat to reduce its thickness, then wrap the nail with a nail remover pack for 3 to 5 minutes and remove it. Just gently push and scrape with a steel pusher. If there is still a small amount of gel left, sand it down with a sanding strip.
Fake nails are thicker and harder than nail gel applied with a single color. Even if you use a nail removal kit directly, it will be very slow and hard. The best way is to use nail clippers to cut it short, then use a polisher to polish off a thin layer of the fake nail, then use a nail removal pack to soften the nail for 5 to 10 minutes. After the time is up, use a steel pusher to remove the residue. Remember, if there is still a large area of un-softened gel residue, do not use tools to push, you should continue to wrap it with the nail removal pack and wait for a period of time to remove it again.
Builder gel nail is the hardest and most difficult type of nail product to remove. If you use the incorrect method or forcefully peel it off, you will cause very serious damage to your own nails and a large area of damage overall. The correct way is to cut it short with a nail clipper first and use a sander to thin the gel as well. (Note: If you still need to do the extensions, you don't need to remove all the gel, just cover it and recreate it.) If you don't want to recreate it, just wrap it with a nail removal pack for 5 to 10 minutes and then use a steel pusher to remove it.
Due to the different material of Acrylic powder, the speed of fusion with nail removal pack is faster than builder gel. After you cut it short and polish it, you can remove it after 3 to 5 minutes by wrapping it with a nail removal pack. If there is any residue left after a light push with a steel pusher, just use a sponge to polish it untill it' s clean.
What is Acrylic powder?
There are two components needed. You need the acrylic powder which is a polymer,
And you are going to need the monomer, which is the liquid to blend with the acrylic powder. The monomer reacts with the powder to create a strong nail extension that air dries and can last up to three weeks.
Acrylic powder are typically available in different colors, so clear is just the acrylic powder itself, and then you have your sheer colors, cover colors, color powders and also glitter powders.
Clear is used for almost every single set and it’s going to have the strongest adhesion.
Now that you know what acrylic is, let’s go over what kind of products you are going to need to get started.
You don’t need a lot to get started with acrylic but there are a few key products.
First you will need your acrylic powder, monomer which will react with the powder and a acrylic brush of the size between 12 and 14. and then you will need a dehydrator a primer.
If you are looking to do a nail extension you will need nail tips and nail glue. And of course a nail file and a top coat.
So how to choose these products?
When you are choosing a monomer there are some things that you want to avoid. First, never use a monomer that includes either mma or hema. These ingredients have been banned by the FDA for causing irritation burning and damage to the nail bed. Second, always use a monomer that has a purple tint, because if you use a clear monomer it will work perfectly fine to build your nail, but you are going to get that yellowing on the nail.
When choosing a acrylic powder, make sure that the powders are highly pigmented acrylic powder and have even color coverage.Good acrylic powders will be really smooth and buttery instead of chalky and crumbly.
The application
1: Push back the cuticles
2: File the nail surface
3: Choose a nail tip that fit, and glue it to the nail. Once it’s applied, trim and shape them well.
4: Apply dehydrator only to the natural nail bed. After it’s dried, apply primer also only to the natural nail.
5: Before applying any color to the nail bed, apply a thin layer of clear powder. It helps make your nails stronger.
6: Start about a hairline away from the cuticle and use the body of your brush to work the bead down to the free edge. When it’s done, let it dry for a few minutes.
7: Use a file to clean up the shape, and sharpen those edges.
Then buff away any imperfections
8: The final step, apply top coat, and cure it.
Notes:
1: Make sure that your monomer stays clean throughout the process. If it starts to get a little bit thick gummy or cloudy, It’s time to change it.
2: The liquid to monomer ratio
If you have too much monomer on your brush you will have a really runny and watery bead. And It’s not going to build any structure. If you don’t get enough monomer on your brush your bead will be too dry, and the powder will stuck to the brush.
The key is that you have to keep practicing and just feel it out.
Scrub nail polish is a special substance that is applied to nails after all manicure sessions. This special substance is called frosted bright oil, and the main components are generally oily solvents such as pearl powder, volatile solvents, and nitrocellulose.

Gel manicure are all the rage right now. Everybody loves gel nail polish, but you’re probably removing your gel nail polish the wrong way. So today we are going to learn the right way to do it. And you can do it yourself at home.
The first way to do it , you need to prepare the tools that you need to accomplish this task.
1: Cotton balls
2: Acetone
3: Nail groomer
4: Aluminum foil
Step 1: take 1 cotton ball, this is going to remove all of your gel polish from both hands. You can break it up to tiny pieces and what you’re going to make sure you do is you divide them into 10 separate little pieces for each nail. The cotton don’t need to be very thick beacuse you need to dip them into your acetone.
Step 2: once it’s completely saturated, put the saturated cotton ball onto the top of your nail bed and you want to make sure that you are not wrapping your entire finger with the cotton ball. This will dry out your cuticles and your nails, which is not good.
Step 3: take a small piece of aluminum foil and wrap the nail. This will create a heat conducting type of mechanism and help acetone completely goes through the gel polish. After five minutes, you can check if the gel are peeling. If your gel nails has only been on your nails for about a week, you need to wait little more longer, about ten minutes.
Step 4: after five to ten minutes, take off the aluminum foil. If you see the gel polish actually peeling up off of your nail,them you are ready for the next step. Take your nail groomer or a wooden stick, and start to push off the gel polish very very gently. Starting at your cuticle and ending at your tip. If you do it backwards and start at the tip, you will risk severely damaging your nail, which completely contradicts the whole purpose of removing your gel polish correctly
Step 5:after you remove all of your gel polish, you want to take one more cotton ball, and dip it in some acetone. Then swipe over your nail lightly to get rid of any excess polish that is left over. And finally, you may find your cuticles are a little bit dry. All you need is a bit of cuticle oil and even a moisturizer. Then your nails are good to go.
Now you know the right way to remove your gel manicure without sanding down your polish or peeling it off.
And sometimes, if the acetone doesn’t work very well, you need to start your process with buffing the gel polish. The more you can take off with the file the less time you are going to spend on soaking.
Make sure you don’t buff your natural nail, because that will cause serious damage to your nails.
Regarding the tools, you can improvise. You don't necessarily have to use aluminum foil, plastic wrap can work just as well.
If you do not want to spend too much time on this. You may also choose not to use cotton balls. Take some Acetone in a cup and sand the surface of your gel polish slightly. You can then dip five fingers into the acetone. This is very unfriendly to your cuticle and the skin of your fingers, but you can remove the nail polish very easily.
We recommend that you stock up some nail removal packs around the house. It is very convenient. All you need to do is peel off the package, cover the surface of your nails with the cotton side, and stick it on your finger. 5 to 10 minutes later, you can easily remove your nail polish.

Why do your gel nails start lifting after only 1 week or even a few days? Here are the reasons.
1. Grease residue.
If the real nail surface is not cleaned thoroughly and meticulously, the grease film on the real nail surface will not be cleaned, or if you don't pay attention to protect the real nail after cleaning and keep touching the real nail surface, it may cause buckling.
2. Not using the same brand of primer.
Nowadays, nail polish is a removable product and refuses to be mixed with acidic substances.
And we suggest using the same brand of the same series of products, which is more reliable during the nail polish application If you do not fully understand the characteristics of the product, mixing different brands of products is likely to cause adverse consequences.
3. Not using a primer.
The use of primer is necessary in order for the nails to bond better with gel-based products.
So how to make your nails last four+ weeks and stop all signs of lifting? Here is the solution.
How to prepare your nails before a manicure?
Like with any nail service make sure you’re starting with clean and sanitized hands. We are going to begin by pushing back the cuticles to expose any dead tissue. While doing this, make sure that you don’t angle your cuticle pusher too much or keep it too parallel to the nail because you may slip and cause damage to the root of the natural nail. Then you can begin to prep it.
In this step, your goal is to gently remove that dead tissue, and remove the shine from the nail and create a rough surface. And when it comes to prepping the nail plate there are two different ways that you can do it.
One is with a hand file and the other is with a E-file or nail drill machine.
With hand file
A hand file is perfect for beginners who are just learning because the hand file is a lot easier to control than an e-file and you are less likely to cause damage. So, whenever you are using a hand file, make sure that you have full control so it won’t slip and hurt your fingers. And when you do it, just lightly feather over the nail to remove the shine and the dead tissue underneath to create that rough surface for you gel polish.
With nail drill machine
If you are a professional, we suggest that you use an E-file, which is perfect for someone looking to speed up the prep process.
In the prep step, never use a coarse grit on the nail plate because this can cause damage. And make sure that the speed of the E-file is between 3 to 4. Then you can gently file the surface of the nail. Remember to keep your drill parallel to the nail plate instead of pointing down, otherwise, it will leave visible marks on your nails.
After you have filed the surface of your nails with the nail drill machine, you are ready to start the next step.
Why do you need a primer?
What you are going to need is a primer. This is the key player in how long your acrylic nails will actually last. It’s also only necessary to be applied on the natural nail plate. What the primer does is it creates the perfect surface for your nail and the gel to bond. So this is not a dehydrator. A dehydrator removes the oils from the surface of the nail and it will dry your nails really fast.
If you used to seeing primers with acid, those are the ones that dehydrate the nail plate. The reason you want to avoid those is because they could cause allergic reactions or if you have sensitive nail plates this can cause a burning sensation. And, when you finished applying the primer don’t be thrown off by the shiny surface, that’s exactly what you want. Because that’s going to ensure that your gel polish stay on your nails for four to five weeks.
If you complete all the above steps strictly, I am sure you will get perfect prepped nails. That is also a guarantee that your nails won't lifting.
Do you often get a lot of questions about the lamps used in manicure? After all we have talked about the gel application, we should also be clarified with the lamps. Because if you don’t have curing down it doesn’t matter how awesome your application and your nail are, it’s all going to come off. And we definitely don’t want that for ourselves or our clients.
The first question is: What's the difference?
Here is a picture of a traditional UV lamp. It’s probably the most common that you’ll see especially if you’re just starting out or if you’re looking for a cheap type of lamp. This is the very original one. What a traditional UV lamp really is, is a CFL UV lamp CFL means compact fluorescent. And there is also CCFL which means cool cathode or cool compact. And the fluorescent bulbs in it are what makes it work. This fluorescent light bulb emits a portion of the spectrum of UV light. So with this, you can cure the gels. This lamp was usually used about ten years ago.
But now days, LED has completely taken over. It has a different type of light bulb inside. And LED stands for light emitting diode. You may find some of the LED bulbs have different colors, some are yellow some are transparent. That’s because they have different style of dome over the bulb to spread the light and also to protect the bulbs.
And what important is this is also UV lamp. So you can see the difference, CFL lamps and LED lamps are both UV lamps but with different bulbs. And they both cure gel polish.
So why are CFL lamps are replaced by LED lamps?
LED UV lamps are able to emit the full spectrum of light needed to cure both traditional gels and the newer LED formulas and so they can cure all the gels. So you don’t need to replace the bulbs to cure specific gels. And you can expect it to last five years or more and it almost never lose power.
You don’t need to replace the bulbs in LED lamps.
The bulbs in CFL lamps usually need to be changed after six months, because they lose their ability to cure. And LED lamps don’t have that problem.
3. LED lamps take less time to cure the gels.
How do we choose the right UV nail lamp:
In the past CFL lamps could take up to five minutes to cure traditional gels. But LED lamps with that focus very high penetrating type of light that’s going into the gel, they only need up to 1 minute to cure the gels. So LED lamps not only do faster but also better job.
But because LED lamps doesn’t glow as much as CFL lamps. It’s very focused. So you have to ensure that the number of LED bulbs to be more but also arranged properly, even on the sides.
what wattage led lamp do i need for gel nails?
About 36 watts.
the wattage of lamps is divided into 9 watts, 18 watts, 36 watts, 42 watts, the higher the wattage nail hardening speed is faster, but you need to check the relevant information before using.
The light of the nail lamp belongs to the long-wave ultraviolet light, generally does not produce serious damage to the skin, but it does make the skin tanned, aging.
Although it is harmless to take a short time to cure, you should always pay attention to the maintenance of your hands. It is best to apply sunscreen and then do your manicure
The nail polish contains a lot of acetone and ethyl acetate. In order to achieve the purpose of making the nail polish dry quickly, a large amount of acetone and ethyl acetate are added. The characteristics of these two components are extremely volatile, so the nail polish can be dried quickly.
What are the principles of choosing nail polish?
What are the effects of using colored nail polish?
How to choose the right nail polish according to your skin?
Specifically, the choice of nail polish color should follow the following principles:
Because of the yellowish skin tone of oriental women, the application of gray and yellow nail polish on the nails will make the skin color appear darker and duller.
Mature and dignified women may choose light yellow and silver-gray nail polish to make French nails, which will give people an elegant and beautiful feeling.
When attending dinner parties or social activities, you should choose gold, red, purple, and other luxurious nail polishes to match evening dresses, which will make people look more dazzling.
Women with long and fair hands can choose bright rose-red nail polishes to make the fingers more delicate and beautiful.
Office workers or students should choose elegant and steady red, light pink, or translucent nail polish, which will make people feel more natural and not exaggerated.
Ladies who like to highlight their individuality may wish to choose nail polishes in popular colors. Such as bright white, silver, metallic purple, etc., coupled with distinctive clothing, it must be refreshing.
Paint flat paint for more color.
Flat color painting usually uses a relatively thin color glue or acrylic paint to paint a two-color or multi-color changing effect. But if the surface is too smooth and the color is brushed on with one stroke, no more paint or color glue can be retained. The surface of the frosted seal after drying has many fine particles and unevenness. This will allow more color to stay on top, making the color thicker and more saturated, and the painted petals will be more colorful and colorful.
pale or light skin:
A pale complexion requires a richer skin color. It is generally considered cool toned. It's best to choose pink or blue pastels, but avoid dark shades that create unwanted contrast. For this skin tone, pastel and nude nail polish are a perfect match.
Fair-skinned:
Fair-skinned women have a variety of nail polish colors to choose from because of the variety of shades that can be applied to their skin tone. Colors you should avoid are bright red nail polishes as these can overwhelm fair skin tones. However, if you want to use complex colors, you must avoid green and orange shades.
