The process may seem intimidating before you learn how to remove gel polish, but doing it yourself, at home, is more straightforward than you think. There's the classic soak-off method, of course: a tried-and-true method that works exceptionally well when done correctly. All you need are an acetone-based remover, cotton balls, foil, a sturdy file, and a bit of time.
If you love the look and longevity of a gel manicure, but hate the condition of your nails after a traditional gel set, try LONDONTOWN GelShift Transformative Top Coat. Once cured, just a single coat transforms any regular nail polish into a gel, and once you're ready for a fresh set, it removes far more quickly and easily than traditional gels.
Either way, with the right tools and a little patience, your nails can come out of the process intact, and in better shape than most salon removals leave them.
