Gel soak off with foil & cottonwool

R15030 min

Introduction

The gentle, traditional way to remove gel: acetone-soaked cotton wool wrapped in foil softens the gel so it lifts away without taking layers off your nail.

Ideal for

Removing gel safely before a new set or a break.

What to expect

The top seal is removed, each nail is wrapped in acetone-soaked cotton wool and foil, and after 10 to 15 minutes the gel is gently removed.

Key benefits

  • Protects the natural nail
  • Gentle and thorough
  • Never peel gel off yourself

Aftercare

Use cuticle oil daily and wear gloves for cleaning to keep nails and skin healthy.
