QueueTeaPi so agree with you. Did the gel nail it’s pretty and all gives nails a nice shine....but I realize it does damage your nails 😩 I’ll stick with the old fashion way regular nail polish & a shiny top coat. Just want my Healthy nails back 💅🏽 ☺️
I find regular nail polish more time consuming, honestly. It takes forever to dry and I always end up having to redo a few nails because I end up smudging polish.
I bought acetone today & decided to try this technique. I kept my nails wrapped for 20min, a orange stick to remove the polish, used a nail/cuticle oil and my nails look great. Didn't have to go to a salon and pay to have this done. I did one hand w/out filing the top coat & the other hand I filed the top coat & it was easier to remove.
@@armpitfuzz That's what I used. I live in New Zealand & finding nail polish remover with acetone as strong as being sold in the states is a pain so I used straight acetone. :)
Thank you for this tip. I had a manicure for mother's day and yes, the gel nail polish lasted a long time, but it looked horrible after my nails started growing. Your instruction was simple and it works.
I can't watch this without commenting. My information is for Shellac or gel nail polish NOT gel nail enhancements. First take a nail buffer and gently buff to remove the shine, take 3 cotton balls, cut 1 in half (thumbs), cut the other 2 into 4 pieces (fingers), soak in acetone (yes acetone nail polish remover will work regular acetone can be too hard on the nails, wrap nails in foil, wait 20 minutes (this can be cut down further if you put your hand in a sandwich bag) If ready it will be lifting off the nail, DO NOT USE A METAL CUTICLE PUSHER THIS IS WRONG use an orangewood stick to gently scrape off the polish from cuticle to tip, once everything is off a light coat of cuticle oil to counter act the drying nature of the acetone.
Actually worked. I had gel nails for almost 3 weeks and they still looked good but I was getting tired of it and didn't want to go to the salon. I did what she did and it worked ! I used nail polish remover but I let it sit longer
Yesss thank you! I had the hardest time removing my gel manicure a few months ago, but now that I knew how to nicely remove it, I'm not afraid to go get a new gel manicure. Thank you! ^^
for someone who is impatient on things, i don't think i am ever using gel polish for a long time. i love it how it looks on my long nails, but yea - it's a hard work on removing it.
This was so helpful! Thank you so much! I’m so thankful for RUclips and people doing tutorials and reviews as I was able to figure out how to do my gel nails at home on my own! It’s my first time doing them, and they’re still going strong! Here’s to seeing if they last another week, as I’m past the one week mark already!
Thanks so much for the video! My dau had to re do her nails and I had to help her start over and you helped us out so much. You have no idea how much you have helped this diy guy.
Thanks, just got myself a home gel kit and appreciate this video very much. I had gotten gel nails for the first time for my daughter's wedding, and when I went back to the salon, they used a ceramic drill to remove the polish-YIKES, NOT IMPRESSED, which inspired me to do my own.
Thank you, I did it, and it just came right off. my manicurist has been filing the Gel off and has completely wrecked my nails, I wish I have watched this before going to her, it has taken me 5 months to grown the damaged bed out.
Like most of us, I'm here because salons are all CLOSED! I was able to finally get the polish off but it definitely took longer than 15mins to start to soften/dissolve. I left mine on for at least 30 mins. But it did work.
I wish I had seen this video sooner. I went to a nail salon yesterday to have my gel polish removed. The lady used this sanding tool to remove the polish and now the surface of my nails look scratchy and uneven.
Hmmm. I'll try this. Last night I soaked my sanded gels for ten minutes and they barely changed. I regret that I used the cuticle pusher because it basically ripped off the nail bed along with the gel polish. I used those cute clips. Next time I'll use foil. Hopefully that makes the difference. Some people are using Gel Moments products. Don't know how that product is.
Thank you so muvh for sharing. This is really helpful. I really didn't want to go back to rhe salon just to have this remove. I don't have time to go there and I need this removed because of my work. It's not allowed in the food industry
My nails are usually long when I get my nails done, so when I get tired of the polish I just clip my nails off, and then they grow back again and I repeat that, and then it grows back again and there you go, my nails are normal again. Sometimes my nails break but it works the same way as clipping them.
Thanks for the video! Hopefully it'll work for me. I'm never getting shellac ever again! Shouldn't have to soak with acetone...should be able to just have a quick wipe off.
With nail salons closed in NJ I want to remove my gel nail polish. Reading older comments I don't have soak off polish. the salon ladies are very professional and meticulous. This process looks easy but will it damage the nails if I file over th shine? I need to be careful. I've had gel nails for at least 10 years and my own nails are thin. Any advice will be appreciated.
My gel nails have been on for like two weeks and they’re already peeling but I don’t wanna damage them and then quarantine happened and all shops besides grocery shops and pharmacies are closed

This tutorial alone makes me want to just go back to normal nail polish. I like the shine of gel, but this seems so time consuming
QueueTeaPi so agree with you. Did the gel nail it’s pretty and all gives nails a nice shine....but I realize it does damage your nails 😩 I’ll stick with the old fashion way regular nail polish & a shiny top coat. Just want my Healthy nails back 💅🏽 ☺️
I only use gel because I'm not allowed regular nail polish at my work place
Natasha M Why is that?!
I find regular nail polish more time consuming, honestly. It takes forever to dry and I always end up having to redo a few nails because I end up smudging polish.
Not me I'm so impatient waiting for regular nail polish to dry. I often smudge it
Anyone else here bc of the quarantine ??
:(( yes sister! im giving it another week or so before i do this
Me 🙋🏻♀️
Yep!! 🤣🤣🤣
Me too. Any success with this technique?
Yes!
I bought acetone today & decided to try this technique. I kept my nails wrapped for 20min, a orange stick to remove the polish, used a nail/cuticle oil and my nails look great. Didn't have to go to a salon and pay to have this done. I did one hand w/out filing the top coat & the other hand I filed the top coat & it was easier to remove.
Which was earlier... Filing or not filing
@@thearya88 filing would be easier but becareful.
This was a good review of the technique. Thanks
Is this regular acetone ?
@@armpitfuzz That's what I used. I live in New Zealand & finding nail polish remover with acetone as strong as being sold in the states is a pain so I used straight acetone. :)

Ya they look like fake nails
i tried this and it worked perfectly. I buffed my nails first b4 I used the acetone and foil. I also used a wooden cuticle stick instead of metal.
I can't watch this without commenting. My information is for Shellac or gel nail polish NOT gel nail enhancements. First take a nail buffer and gently buff to remove the shine, take 3 cotton balls, cut 1 in half (thumbs), cut the other 2 into 4 pieces (fingers), soak in acetone (yes acetone nail polish remover will work regular acetone can be too hard on the nails, wrap nails in foil, wait 20 minutes (this can be cut down further if you put your hand in a sandwich bag) If ready it will be lifting off the nail, DO NOT USE A METAL CUTICLE PUSHER THIS IS WRONG use an orangewood stick to gently scrape off the polish from cuticle to tip, once everything is off a light coat of cuticle oil to counter act the drying nature of the acetone.

Actually worked. I had gel nails for almost 3 weeks and they still looked good but I was getting tired of it and didn't want to go to the salon. I did what she did and it worked ! I used nail polish remover but I let it sit longer
Thank you so much, I used nail polish remover after reading your comment, it worked!!! God bless you!! 🌸❤️

I often doubt of what I see on the videos. So, I didn't believe it, but I just did it and worked!!!! Thanks!
You have to break the seal of the gel. File over the shine before u do all this
Totally agree :)
I agree we do that at salon
great tip, I did it yesterday and it worked!!
After 10 years here i am reading for the first time and applying the same method which is super easy!
I appreciate your video is only 3:30 minutes long and it works.

Hello how are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
i agree! youtube is amazing. People upload videos that benefits us, and our viewing of these videos benefits them! it's win win situation!
Never use a metal instrument to remove gel nail polish! It will damage the nail. An orange wood stick is preferred!
Deirdre Haggerty - Exactly just wait another 10-20 minutes until it falls off.
Deirdre Haggerty well, said!!!!

@@JessSkubi Hello how are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Every salon I visited used the metal scrapper, yikes.
This video came just in time. I peeled off my finger nails and still have to do my toes. Hope this works! 🤞
Thanks. It worked wonderfully.
Awesome! Lifesaver! Thank you!!!

Nice and simple to followThank you
Idk why people are saying this doesnt work. Its literally fool proof as long as youre using pure acetone.

Thank you for this!
It works thank you !!!!❤❤❤❤

Should the acetone be pure? Or can it be normal acetone from the drugstore?
Does it work on Depend GelLack nail polishes also?
Thanks you

HHAH XV • that’s why I’m looking at this video too
Same, trying on one nail.
I believe gel polish is only supposed to last 2-3 weeks anyway. I could be wrong tho.
Regular acetone?
Thank you so much for sharing :)
