Nails

We've put a guide together to help you remove your gels at home. If you have any questions, please email info@shwetan.co.uk. We're here to help :)

Here's what you'll need:

1# Acetone - Pure acetone is best. Nail varnish remover containing acetone will work too, it'll just take a bit longer.
2# Cotton Pads
3# Tin Foil
4# An orange wood stick or a cuticle pusher
5# Cuticle Oil

STEP 1
Buff your nail with your nail file to break through the topcoat to the colour underneath

STEP 2
Soak cotton pad pieces in acetone or nail varnish remover and place onto tin foil.

STEP 3
Wrap nails in tin foil. Try to get a tight wrap to prevent the acetone / nail varnish remover drying out too quickly.

STEP 4
Wait 10 minutes while keeping nails warm. (Cold nails take longer)

STEP 5
Remove wraps and gently remove the flaking gel with the orange stick or cuticle pusher

STEP 6
Gently buff over remaining gel and repeat steps 2 - 5 until all gel is removed

STEP 7
Finish with cuticle oil to protect your skin and nails

It's very important to be gentle and patient. Please don't force the gel off or you'll damage your nails.
