Removing Strips
1. Gently Lift
Start by gently lifting the edge of the gel strip at the cuticle line using a wooden cuticle stick or your fingernail. Do not force the strip—if it resists, move to the next step.
2. Apply Cuticle Oil
Apply cuticle oil or nail polish remover around the edges of the strip. This helps loosen the adhesive for an easier, damage-free removal.
3. Slowly Peel
Carefully peel the strip off slowly and gently, starting from the cuticle and moving toward the tip. If you feel resistance, apply more cuticle oil or remover and wait a few seconds.
4. Buff Residue
Use a soft nail buffer to gently remove any leftover adhesive on your nails. Be gentle to avoid damaging your natural nails.
5. Hydrate Your Nails
After removal, wash your hands and apply cuticle oil or hand cream to replenish moisture and keep your nails healthy.
6. Rest If Necessary
If your nails feel sensitive, give them a break for a few days before applying a new set. This helps maintain nail strength and health over time.
