Strip Removal
Start by gently lifting the edge of the strip using an orangewood stick or your fingernail. Slowly peel it off from the side, going toward the center. If it feels resistant, soak your nails in warm water or apply a bit of cuticle oil to loosen the adhesive.
Soaking isn’t always necessary, but it can help loosen the adhesive if the strip doesn’t peel off easily. Use warm, soapy water or cuticle oil for a few minutes
before removal to protect your natural nails.
No. Avoid pulling or yanking the strips off, as this can damage your nails. Gently peeling or softening the adhesive first ensures your nails stay healthy and strong.
Use a cotton pad soaked in acetone or nail polish remover to wipe away any remaining adhesive. For a gentler approach, try rubbing the residue with a bit of cuticle oil and a soft cloth.
No, semi-cured gel strips are designed for single-use. Removing them typically damages their adhesive and structure, making them unsuitable for reapplication.
Wash your hands, then apply cuticle oil and hand cream to moisturize and restore
your nails. You can also buff your nails lightly to smooth out any ridges left behind.
You can reapply a new set right after removal if your nails are healthy. However, giving your nails a break every few applications can help maintain their natural strength and hydration.
