i rub A&D ointment around my nails on the skin before it gets exposed to the acetone. vaseline would also work as a good barrier. i highly recommend it

@kleineoOoStern 4 года назад

Sherilyn L it really help but Vaseline is petroleum jelly so it’s as dangerous as acetone if used on a regular basis like once a month. The best way to remove gel safely is to file it really gently to minimise nail bed trauma, it takes a long time to do on two hands and it is compulsory to wear a mask but toxic chemical products must be avoided to keep strong and healthy hands and nails during all our life time ;)

@FANI-NI 4 года назад

@@kleineoOoStern Did you just really say petroleum jelly is as dangerous as acetone? My chemistry major self is internally screaming lol Petroleum jelly is safe for external uses and helps hold moisture. Acetone is at most a skin irritant and if you're worried about inhaling it, don't worry if you're in a well ventilated area as you won't even be exposed to such high concentrations of it as a nail polish remover anyways. And no it's not "compulsory" to wear a mask, you're not getting arrested for not wearing one lol I think you mean it's "recommended"

@laurakuhlmann3752 4 года назад

I’ve recently been to a salon where they put a hot pack onto my aluminum foil wrapped nails to accelerate and ease the removal. It helped a lot actually. The gel polish came off so easily. However, it made my fingertips feel a little weird for sometime. I guess it was extreme dryness from the acetone soaking into my skin more easily with the warmth. Very gentle method though.

before they take it off again put vaseline on your skin

@daniellezepess 4 года назад

My nail tech uses pretty much the same process to soak off my dip powder nails. While I'm soaking, we pick out new colors & design (I like to do something different each time), and she'll prep her station (getting all tools ready, pulling colors from storage, etc.) It works well, and neither of us are stuck just sitting there! ❤️

Hello Suzie, watching your videos here in Germany, I would like to thank you both for sharing your experiences and Charme with us. It is not only your work which is art, but even the making of of your videos is a piece of art. A heartfelt Dankeschön from Germany

@judygrayson7896 4 года назад

I learned from a girl that I worked with as a nail tech at The famous Breakers Hotel and spa in Palm Beach Fl. to put a warm towel from the hot towel cabby and draped it over the nails after we wrapped them all. If at home just wet and towel wring it out heat in microwave. Thanks

I got irritated with the tin foil too, so I went online and ordered these really nifty fingertip clips made exactly for this purpose. They're reusable, and you don't have to mess around with foil. Soaking off is what I do when I have glitter polish, because I don't want the glitter to go everywhere and stick to my file or bit. So a cotton pad and these little clips work marvelously.

@candiceprovincial8005 4 года назад

When you said your in Canada I totally freaked. I would love to get my nails done from you it would be a dream come true. Also your voice is soothing! Love it.

@sarahf.7750 4 года назад

This process really shows why I lost my patience with gel polish haha I should try the multiple layers of base coat to just file off the color that's a great tip 💜 thank you Suzie!

@rachelobrien4181 4 года назад

I just got gel polish done for the first time, I’m so glad you came out with this, I had no idea how I was going to get it off.

@dawnarkidz6848 4 года назад

EASY SUBSTITUTE TO USE AS SOAK WRAP : I know it is kinda silly, but I use the latex fingertip covers you use when trying to protect a bandaged finger tip. They are marked disposable but I reuse them only to soak. Like I said silly idea but it works with out aluminum.

@dawnie813 4 года назад

I do my own powder dip nails (since I've been unemployed) so to remove them, I rough up the shiny surface & drench a cotton ball in acetone. I bought these nifty silicone caps at Dollar Tree that hold the cotton on my nails. I wrap my hand in a plastic grocery sack then hold my hand under a heating pad set on low for 20 minutes. (This basically does the same as the steamer/remover, but with items I already have on hand!) When time's up, I remove the plastic bag, silicone caps and cotton balls. No more dip powder, no sticky gooey mess. All is on the cotton ball. I hope this helps some of you DIY-ers out there!

@Uquityabtchn 4 года назад

@ home tip. Heating pad works great during soak off. Keeps your hand and the acetone warm, & speeds things up a little.

@dgirllamius____x 4 года назад

I have no patience for soaking 😂 I've just got into using acrylic and I use white as a base. When I want to remove my gel, I use my e-file and when it starts to show white, I know it's time to stop filing. I wear a lot of neon colours so the white base helps it pop but it's also a good indicator for removal ;)

@tammyroyal3377 3 года назад

@samanthaquesnelle7886 4 года назад

Thank you for the wonderful video; your voice and mannerism is so calm and encouraging. I’ve been doing gel polish application and removal on myself at home for some time now; I found some plastic clips/covers on Amazon that keep the cotton soaked pad in place during removals. I have found this so helpful and easier to use than trying to wrap the aluminum foil on all my fingers at the same time. I also enjoy that they are reusable. Thank you again from a fellow Canadian!

Thank you for showing that polosh may not come off at the first try, and not to panic. My local salon was so rough last time I made up my mind to do it myself. I totally panicked when I saw the polish not coming off easily. This video has given me confidence to try again.😊

@Jolene37 4 года назад

I do one hand at a time and I file the top coat off first, after wrapping with the tin foil I then wrap the hand I'm working on in a hot towel, speeds it up so much.👍

@clarewhite3004 4 года назад

Huh, I thought everyone knew about soaking off gel. Well, I'm definitely going to try heating my acetone, because it usually takes me 20 minutes to soak mine off, and I usually have to file and scrape off the remnants - and I don't have fake nails, so that's a risky business. I don't use gel often, but it's the only option for nail powders.

@krisb5695 4 года назад

I put the acetone on and then put my hand under a heating pad, because my hands are always cold so the acetone takes forever

@lesliejohnson7247 4 года назад

She’s very right folks! I used a hand file to get gel off my natural nail and didn’t pay attention to how fast it was filing off. I also didn’t use a fine grit file. This was months ago! My nails are only just returning to their normal health. They’ve broken and chipped so many times and I’ve kicked myself dozens of times for being so careless. At the time I thought, “Oh this is going to be so easy, I’ll watch my videos while I do it!” A rookie mistake I’ll NEVER repeat my natural nails weren’t that strong to begin with. Don’t be be! Be Suzie! ;-)

This is what I do on myself since I put gel on my natural nails. (Also want to point out that I'm trained in gel nails, so don't worry! I'm not being silly with the products.) I've also found that applying 2-3 base coats works best for me since I have SUPER sensitive nail beds. 🤣

I'm going to file mine off from now on. I totally destroyed my natural nails because the gel came off on my nail bed but not on the free edge. Being a former nail tech, I knew this would happen but I got tired of waiting and filed and scraped it off. Now I have very short and super soft nails (probably only one layer left). I can use an e-file and just recently bought one. Thanks for the 2-layer base coat advice, I'm going to do that.

@kathytarman2302 4 года назад

@nataliah4478 Год назад

@emiliarice7786 2 года назад

I'm so excited to try this! I've had a terrible time with acetone burning the skin around my nails! The skin burns, gets inflamed and swells! 😬😩 Anything to avoid that, I'm going to give it a try!!

@sherlock7898 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this video! I love to paint my nails at home and gel is my go-to polish because it lasts longer than regular nail polish and I just like the way it looks on my nails. The removal process is the worst though. I finally figured out why. I've been using regular nail polish remover. My natural nails are worn down bad because I got frustrated and started filing and scraping. I am going out right now and picking up some acetone. This video saved my nails!

@siouxhazeldon2545 4 года назад

I'm with you Suzie, I like a coat of clear acrylic on my nails & to file down to the clear acrylic. Soaking takes too long. If someone prefers a soak off, I like to have some foils pre cut. If you have some blunt scissors, tin foil is a great way to help sharpen the scissors. (A good tip for you 😊) 💖💅😊😘

@roxaanj.duminy8686 4 года назад

I love, love, love your channel. And would like to think that I've watched all of your videos. I do nails, acrylic, gel, hybrid, etc. from home and have quite a few clients. I haven't studied anything along these lines, all I know is self taught and researched by articles, and watching RU-vid videos (recently mainly yours). I've noticed recently that a few people would let me know 1 week (or less) later when a nail has popped off, or they experience some polish lifting (1out of 4 clients thus far)... especially with gel & hybrid or polygel. Now I follow the process of ensuring that the product isn't applied against the cuticle area; and I've started to use acetone to whipe and help dehydrate the natural nail bed before applying the product but alas... I'm hoping I could enquire from you about what it could be that I'm doing wrong, or is it that some just have more oil in their natural nails than others? Xoxo 🇿🇦

@konvaliastreams 4 года назад

Hey Suzie!! I have a question: I'm just starting off with doing nail extensions on myself, and I have an issue with my polygel going under my natural nail. I always try to get the form as close to my nail as possible, and polygel isn't a runny product, so I'm really surprised that this keeps happening and I can't seem to find a solution to this :( Do you have any tips on how to avoid it? You have been an inspiration for me since the very start in my nail journey and I learned everything I know from you! I absolutely adore your work. Thank you so much for all of it!!

Hey, I know you posted this months ago but in case you’re still wondering, I’m a nail tech and for re-usable metal files and implements I wash them in soap water and then soak them in a 20-minute sterilizing solution (the one I use is called PreEmpt CS20). When the time is up I rinse them off with plain water and leave them to dry. Hope that helps!

Thanks for this video Suzie :) I have only tried gel polish three times at salons but stopped getting it because the nail techs, even when asked not to, would get impatient and use the e-file to remove the gel polish completely and my natural long nails would thin and break off every time. Maybe I can try again and do this myself at home to try saving my natural nail.

@user-be8bm2rd5l 4 года назад

This is about how I get my glitter polish off since I can't manage to keep a peely base coat on that long, no matter how little I put on. Tin foil is so annoying that I got some of those finger clips from amazon (or a beauty store probably has them as well) to hold the cotton pad in place. So much easier! If you're doing this more than every once in a while, definitely worth buying those.

@kaylaa8092 4 года назад

I've wanted to try those. Do you have any issue with the plastic melting or getting soft? I love doing gel and I get impatient with doing foils.

@prettyuglymuch5474 4 года назад

There is a special clip to hold the cotton pads. Also, when soaking with an acetone, make sure it wont touch your skin. Soaking for minutes may harm your skin specially those sensitive ones. Nice vid, again!

@cathysmith2451 4 года назад

Great video, suzie and camera man!! I use tin foil all the time. So much cheaper than buying the soak off kits(tin foil 99 cents vs. S.o kit $6 to $10). My ex says I'm so cheap I could squeeze abraham Lincoln out of his clothes, lol. Anyways you guys are awesome!! Looking forward to seeing your next video.

@dairuna 4 года назад

"It's a random messy procedure, issssn't it!!" Suzie, I feel your pain there. :D I don't care, E-File or not, natural nail or whatever underground - it's nothing a good file couldn't fix, a lot faster, a lot more sufficiently and a lot cleaner. Although I have to admit, when I started doing nails and bought my first products, I was told I "definitely needed to buy acetone" to soak off nails. It has never worked for me and I still have that bottle to remind me to not believe everything that salespeople tell me.
