We&#8217;ve got you covered.<\/em>\n\nWe love gel manicures as much as the next person, but what we don\u2019t love is how difficult they can be to remove. Of course, it\u2019s not the actual removal process that\u2019s challenging. Rather, it\u2019s being patient enough with little chips in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/non-toxic-nail-polish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nail polish<\/a> to avoid picking and wait until you can safely remove it. After all, just as you should never pick at your face, you should never pick at gel or acrylic manicures. Doing so can (and usually will) remove the top layers of your natural nails, leaving them weak and paper-thin in the process. Yikes!\n\nSince nobody wants thin, brittle nails, we chatted with Paintbox Chief Educator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/evelynlnails\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Evelyn Lim<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/B97GmDFp1EH\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the 411<\/a> on how to remove gel nails at home.\n\n<img data-dominant-color=\"d9af8e\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d9af8e;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18889 size-full not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Remove-Gel-Nails-Safely-at-Home-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Woman with two-toned orange gel nails\" width=\"770\" height=\"829\" \/>\n<h2>How to Remove Gel Nails at Home<\/h2>\n<h3>What you\u2019ll need<\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Cotton balls<\/li>\n \t<li>Aluminum foil<\/li>\n \t<li>Coarse nail file<\/li>\n \t<li>100-percent acetone<\/li>\n \t<li>Slanted orangewood sticks<\/li>\n \t<li>Cuticle oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>1. Prepare your materials<\/h3>\nSince cotton balls are larger than your nail bed, Evelyn recommends cutting them in half for the gel removal process. While you have your scissors out, cut small rectangles of aluminum foil that are large enough to wrap around your cotton-covered nails when the time comes.\n<h3>2. Break the seal of your gel nails<\/h3>\nHolding your coarse nail file at one end, Evelyn says to buff it back and forth across each gel nail to remove the top layer of shine. \u201cYou don\u2019t want to do a whole seesaw motion because that\u2019s how you\u2019re going to create friction and heat,\u201d she says. Instead, use small circular motions. The trick is to buff adequately without hitting the natural nail plate, as that\u2019s where damage occurs.\n\nDepending on your gel nail look\u2014whether it\u2019s just lacquer or has foil or glitter mixed in\u2014you\u2019ll need to buff more or less. The more non-polish nail art, the more buffing you&#8217;ll need.\n\n<img data-dominant-color=\"b48965\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #b48965;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18970 aligncenter not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Remove-Gel-Nails-at-Home-X-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition-1.jpg\" alt=\"Woman with two-toned gel manicure\" width=\"770\" height=\"770\" \/>\n<h3>3. Wrap your nails<\/h3>\nStart by saturating a cotton pad with 100-percent acetone. (Note how we clarified the type of acetone. Evelyn says that pure acetone is the only type that will work to effectively and safely remove gel polish.) Place the cotton pad on top of your nail and wrap it with aluminum foil, tucking at the tip. Continue this process on each nail and let soak for 10 minutes.\n<h3>4. Remove wraps and remaining polish<\/h3>\nOnce the 10 minutes are up, remove the aluminum and cotton. Then use an orangewood stick to gently remove the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/types-of-rest\/\">rest<\/a> of the polish. If you\u2019re having a tough time removing the gel, Evelyn says you should rewrap until the polish is flaking up on its own.\n\nIf you notice that any base coat or remnants of your gel nails remain, use your coarse file to gently buff it out for a smooth surface.\n<h3>5. Finish with cuticle oil<\/h3>\nAfter you\u2019ve removed your gel nails, Evelyn says to finish with cuticle oil to hydrate your nails and the delicate skin that surrounds them.\n<h2>The Takeaway<\/h2>\nRegardless of how gentle you are when you remove gel nails at home (or at the salon for that matter), gels can be damaging to your natural nail bed. Keeps hands and nail moisturized with lotion and cuticle oil, add in a nail strength supplement like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/14\/killer-nails\">HUM&#8217;s Killer Nails<\/a>, and consider letting nails breathe before putting gels on right away.\n\nHate naked nails? A safer alernative that removes in seconds are ManiMe&#8217;s gel <a href=\"https:\/\/manime.co\/\">stick on nails<\/a>. Plus, if you&#8217;re the type who just loves to pick at your nails, even when you know it&#8217;s bad for them, these peel off to remove, without damaging your nails.\n<div  class=\"products-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/14\/killer-nails\" class=\"text-xs text-dark hover:!text-dark flex items-center border border-light rounded p-4 group !no-underline mb-4 relative pb-16 sm:pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shrink-0 mr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.humnutrition.com\/assets\/86942a20-6dfb-11ee-b714-01e676f7393f.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" class=\"object-cover transition-opacity group-hover:opacity-80 !mb-0\" alt=\"Killer Nails\u00ae\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grow pr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2 flex flex-col sm:flex-row sm:items-center divide-x-0 sm:divide-x divide-light text-sm\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 pr-2 flex\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex mr-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m8.713 3 1.54 3.61 3.46.58L11.207 10l.588 4-3.082-1.878zm4.555 7.253 3.157-3.193c.288-.269.354-.663.288-1.06-.164-.324-.467-.587-.828-.64l-4.353-.663L9.584.562A.965.965 0 0 0 8.713 0a.965.965 0 0 0-.871.562L5.89 4.697l-4.35.663c-.363.053-.665.316-.827.64-.067.397 0 .791.287 1.06l3.157 3.193-.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .388.978c.3.188.697.25 1.024.072l3.889-2.14 3.888 2.14c.324.178.721.116 1.021-.072a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .391-.978z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4.6\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 sm:pl-2 text-medium\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t219 Reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-base font-semibold mb-1 group-hover:text-primary\">Killer Nails\u00ae<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsupports longer, stronger nails + hair\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"absolute bottom-4 left-4 right-4 sm:bottom-0 sm:left-0 sm:right-0 sm:relative inline-flex justify-center bg-primary group-hover:bg-primary-light text-white rounded py-3 px-12 leading-none text-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pr-1.5 border-r border-primary-lightest\">$12<\/span><span class=\"pl-1.5\">SHOP NOW<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"self-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wondering how to remove gel nails at home, safely and without damage?
