How To Remove Gel Polish

Removing gel polish at home correctly is important for the overall health of your nails. It's not a tricky process, but you need to have the right removal tools on hand and the right knowledge.

Read our step-by-step below and watch our video tutorials to learn the safest and best way to remove gel polish, Builder Gel, and other gel extensions.

Our Gel Remover and 100% Pure Acetone are the best universal methods for removing gel polish, Builder Gel, Magic Extender Gel, and Fix 'N' Flash Tips. Both work in similar ways and require the same methods.

    Step By Step Guide

    Here's how to use it:

    1. Buff the surface of the nails with a nail file to remove the shine of the top coat. This must be done firmly as the surface must be opened up to allow you to penetrate the lacquer, but be careful not to damage the nail. 

      If removing Builder Gel, Magix Extender Gel, or Fix ‘N’ Flash Tips, you’ll need to file down the bulk of the gel (around 90%).
    2. Soak a cotton pad or nail wipe with Gel Remover or 100% Pure Acetone and place onto the nail plate, securing with a foil wrap. You can also use the Gel Polish Soak Off Clips to secure instead of foil. Alternatively, use a Remover Foil Wrap and dampen the pad inside before securing with the wrap.
    3. After 10-15 minutes, firmly pull the pads off your nails. Then, gently push away any loose product with a Gel Scraper or orange stick.
    4. If there is product remaining on the nail, re-buff and re-wrap.
    5. Once all the product is removed, wash your hands, then apply cuticle oil and hand cream to hydrate those nails.
    Pro tip: When using any acetone-based product on your nails, use cuticle oil and hand cream to nourish and hydrate your nails and skin. Always thoroughly wash your hands after using any acetone-based gel removers. We recommend using our Gel Remover or Pure Acetone for removing Builder Gel, Magic Extender Gel, or Fix 'N' Flash Tips.
