Shellac, on the other hand, is much easier to take off (and, thus, less prone to damaging your nails).To begin the removal process, denatured alcohol is the best option, according to Lucy. This will dissolve the shellac and aid in the lacquer softenment. After allowing the denatured alcohol to sit for 15 minutes, acetone can be applied. It will dissolve the lacquer and soften the shellac. To expedite the soaking process, wrap your hands in a towel and keep the nails warm during the process.

A: Nail dryers emit a minimal amount of UV light, and using these devices is much safer than walking under the sun in summer, for example.

There are a few alternative solutions to acetone that can be used instead of it. Some of the most common and effective methods include hand sanitizers, hydrogen peroxide, and cuticle oil. If you want to use kitchen oil, olive oil is a good substitute. If you do not have any other options, warm, soapy water or vinegar can be used to remove gel nails. Before applying polish on your nails, you should prepare the nail plate. First of all, you need to get rid of the cuticle by using the cuticle remover of your choice and metal cuticle pusher included in a set. Then, you should clean your nails with the Prep & Wipe solution on a lint-free wipe and buff the nail. After you’re done with the polish application, add a cuticle oil on the nails. The oil comes in a 50-ml bottle and contains the apricot kernel extract that strengthens the nails and boosts their growth. When you need to re-do your nails, you can use the gel remover. Both the remover and the wiping solution have the 250-ml capacity, which should be enough for long individual use. Apply polish, starting with a thin layer of base coat, followed by a two layers of colour and a thin layer of top coat. Generally speaking, each layer should be cured under the lamp for one minute – but follow guidance from the retailer behind your home gel nail kit of choice. If you’ve never done your own gel manicure at home before, we have a top tip: apply the gel in thin layers, because if you apply too much it’ll bubble under the lamp and look far from what you’re used to. You should also seal the tip of each nail with a light layer of polish to help it last longer. Finally, consider the size of the dryer. It should have the right size to fit all five fingers or toes at once. This is important not only in terms of convenience but also it speeds up the process, reducing the time spent on drying each nail. That said, manicurists who look for a portable model to carry along with them might want to sacrifice capacity for a smaller size. So, ensure that the lamp you're buying has all the right specifications you need for comfortable use or work.Additional features can make the use of the device much more convenient. Therefore, make sure to see into the specs as well. Modern nail dryers often feature a motion sensor that will automatically turn the lamp on once you put your fingers inside. There are also models with a removable bottom tray - these will not only simplify maintenance of the device providing you with easy access to the LEDs but also ensure you can use the dryer for pedicure as well. Some additional things are always welcomed and many models come including nail files, UV gloves and more. Finally, you can find battery-powered nail dryers, which may come in handy for visiting manicurists and those who often travel. Apply with extreme caution!!!! Make sure if you’re using a rag or cotton swab that they’re not saturated to the point that they’d drip. You don’t want it running across painted surfaces.
