Soft Gel Soak Off Step by Step

Hello Strangers,

London weather is sunny this week. I am so happy to roam around without being wrapped up like a penguin. =D Let hope the weather will continue to be sunny everyday.

Today, I am going to explain how to soak off your soft gel polish step by step properly with care.
I ever have customers telling me, they are so afraid of doing soft gels again because once the manicurist removed the soft gels, their nails become very thin and weak.

Actually, this isn't true. The reason why their nails become thin or weak is largely due to the ignorance knowledge of the manicurist who did not remove the soft gels with proper care.

Below is a collage that I have done to explain more clearly.

Step 1: Your nails grew longer. It became ugly or annoying because you start seeing the lunula. (You can choose to cut your nail length to your preference at this stage.)

Step 2: Applied cotton that is soaked thoroughly with pure acetone onto the nail plate and then used foil aluminium to wrap them tightly around each nail. (***No gaps are allowed, otherwise the acetone will evaporates quickly.)

Step 3: After 10-15mins, removed the foil aluminium and you will see that the soft gels have melted into the cotton. (If there are some residues left on the nail plate, simply used cotton soaked with acetone and rubbed them away.)

Step 4: Use a 180grit nail file to trim the length. I personally loved to use angel pro nail file.

Step 5: Use the nail file in one direction. Always left to right. Never two directions as it can chip the nail easily.

Step 6: Use a cuticle pusher to dry push and removed the eponychium (known as cuticle). However, a lot of manicurists or yourself actually removed the fake cuticle by trimming it away with the nipper. This is wrong and dangerous. Because that layer is not cuticle. It is known as nail fold and it protects our nail matrix from bacteria infection. If it is not well taken care, it can affect the way our nails grow. 

Step 7: Once you have dry push all fingers for one hand, use a lint free with acetone and wipe the nail plate. This is to remove any dust or oil residue left. 

Step 8&9: Apply the dehydrator generously to each nail. This is to further enhance the bonding of gel polish for your next application. (**This step is optional.)

You will see that your nails are so well manicured after these steps.

See how pretty and clean it looked. Absolutely no filter or photoshop on pictures. 

Here is a diagram to explain the different parts on a nail. (Image taken from internet source.)

I hoped this post has helped you ladies gained a better understanding about nail and steps to remove soft gels. 

Next post, I will write how to apply gelly polish step by step.

Laters, Stranger.

Off to cook for hubby now..

Loves,

Cyn.
