Gel Manicure Removal at Home - No Damage, No Drill

- This is one method of gel manicure removal at home using acetone to soak off your shellac/gel polish. I use clips to hold the cotton balls in place but you can use foil as well. Gel polish should not damage your nails and when removed your nails should remain healthy and long underneath.

Thank you for the tips! I'm new to doing gel polish at home. This video has definitely been helpful! I just thought I'd share with you that I used a wooden cuticle stick to push off the polish this time. It seemed to be a bit more gentle than the metal this time. 😊
You’re welcome! Yes you can use an orange stick as well! So glad this was helpful :)
I'm new to gel nail polish. I tried the nail clips and found them to be a hassle. I'll try the nail foils or tin foil. The metal cuticle pusher seemed to harsh so i bought some wooden sticks to try. Thanks for the video 🎉
Good idea, foil works just as well. You can try the orange stick but it might take a little longer :)
You make the process look so doable, thanks! Also wanted to suggest to do different colours and upload every time you do your nails.
Wishing you many more subscribers
Thank you! I’m so glad it was helpful!
You make it look so easy I get impatient and don’t wait long enough but I get it off just had to keep goi g back and soaking will be doing your method though after seeing this.
Thanks! I have been doing it for so many years that I have it down to a science now. I used to be very impatient and convinced it wouldn’t come off but from experience its just because I wasn’t giving it enough time! Good luck :)
@@CreateYourSpace_. Thank you. Did you know they have these soak off bowl I found out about them on tik tok they have holes for your fingers you put the acetone in and the cotton just a suggestion
Yes I haven’t seen those but I don’t like submerging my skin in acetone for very long, it dries the skin quite a bit so I prefer cotton balls. I have recently ordered some gel nail remover that you paint on like polish and it crumbles your gel nails with out the use of cotton pads! I’ll upload a video on it when it gets delivered!
@@CreateYourSpace_. Yeah that is the only part I hate about acetone. I also saw these foils that had the cotton already on them and you put the acetone one and wrapped them never done foil
Oh cool!
Oh wow, this is what I have to look forward to? I got gel polish for a vacation to Oahu, on my nails and toe nails. First time and maybe last time I will have this done. I like how they don’t chip like standard polish, but I don’t like the concept of having to go through all these steps to remove it. Thank you for this tutorial! Js
Yes unfortunately with the durability comes a slightly longer process of removal but worth it for some :)
It is more of a hassle but my nails are much better now. No more splitting, breaking, or bending backwards.

With the gel polish, or after removal?
@@CreateYourSpace_.
Ikr?! Thank you for your reply, it is much appreciated. Oh I have a question; can I just use a standard nail polish to fill in the nail growth part, then just polish over the rest of the nails, then use Sally Hanson’s Insta-Dry over it until I’m ready to remove the gel? Haven’t seen any vids on this anywhere! Jc
You can layer regular nail polish over gel if you want once they grow out a bit, then use a regular polish top coat as well. But if you want to layer gel back on top of regular polish you have to wait at least 4-6 hours till that regular polish is fully dry. I have a video called gelly sandwich nails if you’re interested in that.
dang i was pushing the gell off way too hard and made some dents in my nails :') thanks for the tips!
Oh no! :( I’m glad you came across my video, hopefully next time won’t be so bad!
such amazing tips! You've made me fall in love with doing my nails!
Aw thank you! I am so glad to hear that :) hope you start doing them again more often now!
Five minutes wasn't enough for my nails. Serious damage to my nail bed. Now I have to redo my nails.
I mention in the video if the polish is not lifting to put the acetone back on and wait to make sure you don’t damage your nail beds. Sorry if you missed the captions or the audio included in this tutorial.
@@CreateYourSpace_. sorry I wasn't complaining to you. Just sharing my experience. Please keep sharing as it's most appreciated.
No worries, glad you like the content! Hope your nails worked out in the end.
Omg! I’m gonna have to go through that as well?!
You shouldn’t have to :) I have a video on how I remove my gel with no drill and no damage
I have so many questions. First off, will Vaseline around your cuticles protect them from the harshness of the acetone while they soak?
Secondly, would filing the gel polish off more deeply help the soaking/penetration process go faster?
Are you removing this gel polish from your natural nail?
I'm trying to find ways to grow my natural nails without expensive trips to the salon. The gel stick-on nails that you cure and cut to your length do an amazing job of protecting my nails and gave them a really good start. I'm only just coming to getting a free edge. So theyre still really short by industry standards, but a good short nail is better than a bad long nail, in my opinion.
I have never tried Vaseline around the cuticle but I general rehydrate at the end with oil and have never had a problem. Yes, the more you file off the less polish acetone needs to break down so the overall process will go faster and yes I am removing it from my natural nail which is why I don’t like using a drill to file off my polish (to avoid damage). I have a video on my page about growing out natural nail using IBD gel, that will probably help :)
thank you
You’re welcome!!
I got gel nails instead of acrylic with gel polish if I try to remove the polish will it also remove the whole gel nail ? Hope I’m making sense thanks
If you have hard gel under your gel polish unfortunately the acetone will remove your gel polish and probably some of the hard gel depending how long you leave it on for. If you want to change the colour I recommend just painting over the existing colour instead
Nice, quick informative video 😊
I'll be doing my nails/feet one day this week 🤭
Do you have a favorite gel polish brand?
Thank you! I have honestly used so many brands at this point but off hand I would say CND and gelish are slightly better. I have also been liking some Amazon brands like melody susie and meet across.
@@CreateYourSpace_. You're welcome! I like Gelish too. I'll add the others to my Nail/Feet Amazon wish list 😊
☺️
Amazing tutorial thanks for sharing...new subscriber here😍😍😍
You’re welcome! So glad it was helpful :)
Never thought I could do it but your explanation was so clear and easy to follow that I decided to give it a try! it was a total success! Thank you!😊
Amazing!!! I’m so glad you tried it! I would love to see how they turned out! If you post them on social media tag me :) @twoafterido on all platforms ❤️
Can I use nail polish remover to revive the mail and glue?
No unfortunately you will need 100% acetone, regular nail polish does not have enough acetone in it to remove gel polish.
Ok
My salon uses a drill to remove the gel. Is this an incorrect method? My nails are always left brittle and start to break each time I get shellac.
Usually salons will use a drill because it’s faster, they don’t need to wait 5-10 mins for the acetone to soak. I don’t like drills because they damage my natural nails. It’s not necessarily incorrect just more harmful in my opinion. You can ask your salon to use acetone next time (not magic remover, that is also very damaging, but specially acetone)
Does this also work for shellac nails? Also, what kind of container do you have the acetone in?
Gel polish and shellac are actually the same thing, shellac is just a brand. The acetone I have in a in a pump bottle you can buy these at the dollar store or sometimes the acetone already comes in a container like this :)
@@CreateYourSpace_. Thanks for the quick reply. How long do you let the cotton ball with acetone on your nails?
Usually about 5-8 minutes, depends on the polish and how well it’s still adhered to your nails. You can check them and if they don’t look like they are crumbling then just leave it on a little longer
What brand of acetone do you use?? Mine takes several passes…..
I use onyx professional 100% pure acetone. I have also used the 100% pure acetone by quo from shoppers drug mart (only available in Canada). Any brand will do but you have to make sure it’s 100% pure acetone. Not nail polish remover with acetone (that’s not enough acetone)
so the acetone doesn't melt this plastic? wow
Most of the acetone is on the cotton ball so it doesn’t damage the plastic :)
Hi do you have a link for your acetone pump used to saturate your cotton balls? Thanks
That pump is what the acetone came with but I also use this pump for my regular nail polish which is great, you can fill your acetone in here - bit.ly/3WSvs5g
Where did you get the marble piece you are working on ? I imagine a home store would have it but wanted to check with you 😊 I just got a gel kit and want to protect my tables 🤣
I purchased the marble piece from an Indian cooking store (I think it’s meant to make roti on) but I found something similar here on Amazon for you bit.ly/3Hk14HY (this is quite pricey so a good alternative could be these

@@CreateYourSpace_. awesome !!! Thank you so much for the links 😊
No problem!
Can i use nail polish remover that isnt 100% acetone??
No unfortunately regular nail polish is not strong enough to break down gel polish.
@@CreateYourSpace_. thank you so much for replying. I went and bought some gel polish remover on amazon.
I love doing my nails.thank you
That’s great! I would love to see them! Please tag me on social media or send me a picture via DM. All my handles are @twoafterido
No. Won’t work
5 minutes? What gel polish gets crumbly that fast?
This particular brand is from Amazon called meet across. Hope this helps :)
I think it's not crumbly enough... to wait 15 min. is the much better option. To wrap the nails with foil over the cotton balls is good too. The clips only will dry out the aceton too fast. Greetings from Germany
Yes foil can be a good alternative as well!
@@tomandme3698
What is the purpose of using foil and how does it work, by heat??
It just speeds up the process to help the acetone work faster due to heat :)
