HOW DO I REMOVE MY GEL NAIL POLISH?

Are you struggling with the stubborn remnants of your last gel manicure and wondering how to get that gel nail polish off safely, easily and effectively? You’re not alone. Many beauty enthusiasts search for the best ways to remove gel nail polish without damaging their nails. Let's dive into a simple and safe method using Esmio’s Gel Remover.

YOUR STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO THE GEL REMOVER


  • Step 1: Buff the Shine Away

Start by gently buffing the shiny top layer of your gel polish. This helps break the seal and allows the Gel Remover to penetrate effectively. Buffing is a crucial step because it creates small abrasions on the surface of the polish, which lets the remover seep in and work its magic. Ensure you're using our Hard Buffer which is gentle and high-quality buffer and helps to avoid damaging your natural nails underneath.

  • Step 2: Apply Esmio’s GEL REMOVER

Instead of the typical acetone soak, apply Esmio’s Gel Remover directly on top of the gel on each nail. This specially formulated remover is designed to target gel polish, ensuring a smoother removal process without the harshness of acetone. The gel consistency of Esmio’s remover means it stays in place, providing targeted action exactly where you need it. This reduces the risk of overexposure to chemicals, which is a concern with traditional acetone soaks.

  • Step 3: Let It Sit

Allow the remover to sit for about 5-10 minutes. Esmio’s Gel Remover formula works to break down the gel polish during this time, making it easier to remove. The key here is patience; rushing this step can lead to stubborn gel removal and potential damage to your nails. The active ingredients in the remover work by breaking down the polymer bonds in the gel polish, effectively loosening it from the nail plate.

  • Step 4: Gently Scrape Off the Polish

Using our Pro Scraper Tool, gently push the gel polish off your nails. If there are any stubborn spots, reapply a small amount of Gel Remover and wait a few more minutes. It's important to be gentle to avoid damaging the natural nail.

  • Step 5: Moisturise and Care

After removing the polish, it’s crucial to care for your nails and cuticles. Wash your hands and apply a nourishing cuticle oil or moisturizer. Regular moisturising is essential to maintain the health and flexibility of your nails, especially after exposure to nail polish and removers.

WHY CHOOSE ESMIO’S GEL REMOVER?


Gentle Yet Effective Formula

Removing gel nails at home can be daunting, but Esmio’s Gel Remover and Gel Removal Kit offers a safe and effective solution. It's formulated to protect your nails and skin from the drying effects of traditional acetone, making your at-home gel polish removal as gentle as possible. The ingredients in Esmio’s remover are selected to balance effectiveness with gentleness, ensuring your nails remain healthy and strong.

Convenience and Cost-Effectiveness

One of the main advantages of using Esmio’s Gel Remover is the convenience it offers. No more scheduling salon appointments or spending extra money on professional gel removal services. With this product, you can achieve salon-quality results in the comfort of your own home, at a fraction of the cost. This is especially beneficial for those with busy schedules or who prefer to handle their nail care independently.

Time-Saving

Traditional acetone soaks can take up to 30 minutes or more, and they often require wrapping each nail in foil, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming. Esmio’s Gel Remover significantly reduces the time needed to remove gel polish, allowing you to move on to other activities sooner. The quick action formula ensures you spend less time on the removal process and more time enjoying your beautifully maintained nails.

Comprehensive Nail Care

Esmio’s product range doesn't stop at gel removers. They offer a variety of nail care products designed to keep your nails in top condition. Esmio provides everything you need to maintain healthy, beautiful nails. Incorporating these products into your nail care routine can help prevent common issues such as dryness, brittleness, and peeling.


ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR HEALTHY NAILS


Moisturising Regularly

Keeping your nails and cuticles moisturised is key to maintaining their health and flexibility. Use a good quality cuticle oil daily, and consider wearing gloves when doing household chores to protect your hands from harsh chemicals and excessive water exposure.

Proper Nail Maintenance

Regular trimming, filing, and buffing can help keep your nails in good shape. Always use clean, sharp tools to avoid any potential infections or damage. Consider investing in a Esmio's Tool Pack or Cuticle Care kit, that includes all the essentials.

Balanced Diet

Your nails are a reflection of your overall health, so a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can contribute to strong, healthy nails. Foods high in biotin, such as eggs, nuts, and whole grains, are particularly beneficial for nail health.

Avoid Overuse of Nail Products

While it's fun to experiment with different nail colors and styles, giving your nails a break from polish and other treatments occasionally allows them to breathe and recover. This can prevent issues like yellowing and weakening of the nails.

Gentle Nail Polish Application and Removal

Be gentle when applying and removing nail polish to avoid unnecessary stress on your nails. Always use a base coat to protect your nails from staining and to create a smooth surface for the polish to adhere to.

With Esmio’s Gel Remover and Gel Removal Kityou can take off your gel polish efficiently and keep your nails looking healthy.
