Today I shall show you the EASIEST way to remove gel nails at home with zero nail damage.
I'm super excited to share with you my GAME CHANGER when it comes to gel-x/full cover tips! I did cover this briefly in my first video but I wanted a dedicated video for it that showed a few extra methods.
If you're like me, removing gelly tips takes an eternity and then you inevitably get super impatient and leave your nails damaged. Since I've switched to gel peel off base coat, my nails have never looked better and my removal is done in 15 minutes tops, PLUS I get to save all my nail art and either use them again or display them on my wall.
Curious to see which full cover tips are my favourite? Check out my comparison of 8 brands here: • Who Has the Best Full ...

Note 1: ***AFTER MY TEST WITH THE DAILY CHARME PEEL BASE, I HAVE REALIZED THAT METHOD 2 IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THIS PARTICULAR BRAND. THIS BRAND'S BASE SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH METHODS 1 & 2, AND IF METHOD 1 IS USED DO NOT BUFF YOUR NAILS. (The Koko & Claire Base coat is compatible with all methods).***
The Daily Charme base has a tough time coming off of the nail when the surface is prepped. It should only be applied to an unprepped natural nail. Method three is still fine because you have that regular base coat protecting your natural nails.
Note 2: The ORLY EASY OFF BASE COAT is NOT a peel off base coat. It is a base coat that soaks off in ACETONE, but designed to soak off quicker than their usual base coat.
Could you describe how to “file off” that little bit of excess gel that you mentioned at the 6:12 second mark? I’m not really sure how exactly how you would drill it off and it would be helpful if you could describe it in more detail.
@@elsah3339 You would use an efile bit (typically called an under the nail cleaner bit) and flip your hand upside down. Then take the tip of the bit and file the small blob of gel at the tip of your natural nail off kind of like you use a pencil if that makes sense! Honestly, I usually skip this step. You only need to do it if you find removal tough :) Let me know if that’s unclear
@@tybeaniebabies1, in case of tougher removal, sounds like you simply drill into a small circle in the "latch" area that you described that will loosen the whole thing up, is that right? How large of hole/piece into the latch do you create with the drill before soaking with water?
@@elsahill6480 Essentially, yes, but it's more of a "strip" than a "hole". For clarity, I file until the tip of my natural nail has zero gel left on it. It really is like unlocking a latch. Again, only necessary if they're stuck!
" METHOD 2 IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THIS PARTICULAR BRAND. THIS BRAND'S BASE SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH METHODS 1 & 2, "... do you mean it should only be used with method 1 & 3?
This is so much easier to do than using acetone all the time. Thank you.
I recently found out about gel peel base after having overfiled my natural nails for the umpteenth time!! This was the most informative video that I have come across. THANK YOU! (and my too thin and painful nails thank you too!)
Cheers to healthy nails 😂🥂 It’s also why I started searching for an alternative to all the filing
Omg. This is EXACTLY what I needed!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ❤
Subbed!
This is the video I needed so badly. At last I got to ur channel. As I've never used peel off base coat. Very informative. Doing them tonight will let u know thx for all ur brilliant tutorials❤
Hi, do you have a video for the removal process of method 3? Thank you for this video by the way- this was so helpful! ❤
Great tips❤
And I am watching you in my bathrobe - because I am cold & comfy 😂 😂 ❤ ❤
OMG great info, I ordered the Daily Charme peel off base coat, very pricey but my nails are so damaged that I cant complain at this time if it works to save further damage to my nails from removing gel full tips about every two weeks. thank you so much for this informative video.
Thanks so much for watching 💜 I hope the peel base has been working out for you! I have exiled my efile 😂
Thank you for sharing.👌🦋
Thank you for watching 💜
thank you for this video I have been wanting to do this method but wasn't sure if it would work.
Good luck! Koko & Claire base has become my nail saviour 😄💜
Hey Jen, I love this video, thank you so much for doing it! I recently tried the 7 to 14 day method and just could not get those suckers to come off except around my cuticle area. I had some builder gel on the lower part of my nail that the Koko & Claire seemed to have really adhered to, so I had to file the enhancement off of that part of it. I had to give up on Koko & Claire under gel polish - it was just too much of a nightmare to get it to release gel polish without leaving nasty stickiness behind, but I am excited that I might be able to use it this way. I'm going to tweak the method a bit and see if I can't get it to the point where they will actually soak off within 15 or so minutes! Cheers!
If u do an overlay for structure/protection of natural nail its always best to avoid removing it all ….I find the Jello Jello peel off base works well for this style of fill/design change
Nice informative video
I’m trying your method with the koko base tomorrow! 🤞🏻
Best of luck! Method 3 seems to have had a lot of success among my friends. Let me know if you have any questions, I’d also love to know how it works out for you 💜
@@tybeaniebabies1 thank you!!
Hi, can you use the peel off base with solid nail tip glue and how? Thanks
Coming late to the party, this was very informative, thank you! I have a question about method 3, what do you do about the bottom gel base after peeling off the peel-off base? As it's a regular gel base coat I assume it needs soaking to take off? Do you keep it on and do another peel of coat on top of it? Or does it come off as well with the peel off base?
Nice video! I would've never thought to put the peel off base coat on top of the gel base coat. I gotta try that method one of these days and see how long it lasts for me
Yes definitely give it a go! I find that they usually last too long for me with that method and I was so surprised that could ever be the case with a peel base 😂
@@tybeaniebabies1 I have the koko & Claire peel off base coat and absolutely love it. I know you used the daily charm in the video but does the koko & Claire one give you the same long lasting results with this method too?
Yes the Koko & Claire one is my favourite one & the one I usually use! I’ve been using it under my tips for over a year now. This is the first time I’m trying another brand
Will your 14day wear method work with polygel? What about rubber base coat overlay?
What are the different cure times??❤
Thank you for this video!! 😊 Some nail technicians are also showing another protective nails method by applying a base coat and a top coat on the nail before the peel off base. Did you try this method? Why didn’t you pop off your tips? It’s quicker than soaking your nails in hot water.
The base coat/top coat method only lasts about a day (sometimes even less, all it can take is a bump and they come off). With this method I can wear my sets as long as I want before removal! They do not pop off like you mentioned, but this is the trade off for longer wear time 🙂
@@tybeaniebabies1 thank you ☺️
“Absolute nugget of a brush” 🤣
Could these methods also work for full cover nails with dip powder on top? I want an easier and healthier sometimes more often way to remove my dipped nails without any risk of damaging them again…they are STILL getting healthy and trying to maybe grow them and not need to do press ons anymore
If not, how would you suggest to do that? Do yo have a video? Also I have gel allergies and cannot use gel nails or gel products
You QUEEN
Thank you for this video. Question. Once all the peel base prep is completed, Can you still use glue to apply the actual nails to your nails?
Yes you can! I find it helps to wipe the tacky layer off of the peel base first but then you’re good to go.
@@tybeaniebabies1 wonderful! Thanks for responding.
Could you add a base or builder gel under the peel off ?
Yep, that’s exactly right for method 3. I’ve used regular base coat and soft gels like Extend Gel. I haven’t tried hard gel but I’m pretty sure it would work!
have you tried the FZANEST peel off base coat? it is on amazon for only $10. Can you do this test on some cheaper and more accessible alternatives like this one?
I haven’t tried that one specifically but I absolutely already have a couple cheaper ones lined up! 💜
Can you test the FZANEST peel off gel base coat from Amazon? I have been trying it and getting differing results every time. Also, is there a trick for getting regular nail glue to stick to a peel off? (Sometimes I make press on sets that don’t have enough clear left in them to use gel to adhere). First time the glue barely stuck, and someone said to remove the sticky layer first. So I tried that and still failed, lol. But other people seem to be able to do it, so it must be possible. My nails are super thin and damaged from being impatient and adhd (Pulling off gel/acrylic, etc. I know, bad lol). Thanks
I have considered it, but I can’t find any ingredients/company info on that brand so it made me nervous 😅 I may still give it a go. When I use glue I definitely do wipe the tacky layer off and sometimes add primer before the glue if I really want them to stay. If that doesn’t work, it could just be the base that you are using… The products may be incompatible. Sometimes air dry peel bases work better under glue but don’t last quite as long
Shipping for the koko and claire base coat is about $14 where I live, do you think this method could work with regular peel off base coats like the ones found on amazon? (UNT for example). Or does the koko and claire one work because it peels off even if the nail has been prepped with the shine removed?
I am planning to test more budget friendly options soon, but the real difference between this one and UNT is that Koko & Claire is gel and UNT is air dry. In my experience air dry ones tend to not last no matter what. 😕 I haven’t tested it so can’t say if it works the same, but Sally Beauty has one by the brand ASP that might be worth a shot?
Hi, I bought the Makartt peel off base on Amazon if you want to try it 😉
Love your videos! So i just got this peel base and i am having difficulty with removal. I also notice that anyone who works with this is using it over natural nail. I always have builder gel overlay/ polygel overlay, then color. Will
This peel base work on top
Of overlay?
Should I put it on top of smooth surface like gel topcoat?
Thank you
Thanks so much for watching! I'm assuming you mean that your nails are sticking too well during removal? If you apply peel base over any type of product, it will last a lot longer than if it were applied on a natural nail (method 3 I apply it over an overlay and usually wear for 2 weeks or more) because gel adheres best to other gel.
If you want your nails to be removed easier there is no need for an overlay on your natural nail. I understand that overlays are there to protect your nails, but with peel off base I have experienced little to no damage, so it is unnecessary for this method. If you applied your peel base on a top coat it's likely they would pop off very quickly.
So, yes, it does definitely work well on an overlay but the hold will be more intense. You will just need to soak your nails for longer most likely and ensure that the tips of your nails have no product on them so you "open the door" for water to penetrate. I would also not do any sort of prep (like primer or buffing) on top of your overlays. If you are using this under gel polish and not full cover tips, sometimes lightly buffing the top coat of your gel polish GREATLY reduces your removal time. Let me know if that answered your question!
@@tybeaniebabies1 thanks so much for your quick response! I will keep all of this in mind next go around!
@@rosemarycabanillas2854 Best of luck! It took me a couple tries to find what worked best for me (to cut down on my experiment time I usually did a different method on each hand to see which performed better!). I really hope it works out because it has made my life so much easier. Feel free to come back if you have any other questions:)
@@tybeaniebabies1 excellent! Thank you!
Could you do a video on removal?
Sure! Next time I remove my set I’ll throw up a quick clip 😁
Sorry it took me so long, but the removal video is up now!
I don’t understand method two, do you apply the peel base twice? You say you apply another layer, but I’ve rewatched and don’t know when else it was applied
Sorry for the confusion! I only apply it once. I said “another layer” only because it was the second nail I did. Poor word choice on my part. 😅 Steps are as follows:
1. buff
2. cleanse dust
3. dehydrate
4. primer only at cuticle
5. peel base
6. apply tip with gel seeping over free edge
😁
Awesome video!
Okay, so..now my question: I used Orly Bodyguard on my nails, which is like a gel overlay for your natural nails. I am wanting to know if I could still use a peel off base coat on that to apply my gel x tips? 🤔
Thank you in advance! 💕
As long as it’s a soft gel it should work, and it seems like that product is! If you had one pop off, you may just need to apply a layer of primer on top of the Orly before the peel base 🙂💜
i dont know if its my peel off base coat (Orly brand) or if im using it incorrectly, but i used it under my gel polish and when it was time to peel it off, it took off a layer of my top nail :(
If you’re referring to the Orly Easy-Off Base Coat, I made the mistake of thinking that was a peel off base myself! It’s actually a regular base coat designed to soak off in acetone faster than their regular Orly base coat, whereas the Koko & Claire peel off base is designed to soak in water and peel
Do you think this would work with gluing press ons to the peel off layer?
Yes, I have tried it! It worked, however I seemed to have to size up my press ons because there was extra bulk on the nail and if I used my regular tip it would pop off. Also recommend using primer between the glue and peel base. Best of luck 🤞🏻
@@tybeaniebabies1 thankyou!
I do this all the time. Cleanse the nail plate, add your peel base (I use JelloJello- the BEST IMHO and their remover is incredible), cure for 30 seconds, wipe off the sticky layer because nail glue will not stick to it otherwise, and do your usual glue on method. I get at least 10 days with this, depending on the amount of glue I use, and using the remover they pop right off within 15 to 20 minutes at the very most.
Brilliant, thankyou! @@operachef1
I'm wondering if any of these will work with ENC Peel base 🤔
I haven’t tested the ENC one myself, but it might be worth a try! From my experience and others the Koko & Claire one seems to work the best however.
I wanna know too
Hello! On the Thursday method do you wipe off the tacky layer of the gel base before adding the gel peel base? Thank you in advance!
Hi! I have done both ways and haven’t noticed a difference honestly :)
@@tybeaniebabies1 thank you so much! I always have builder gel on my nails so I was curious if I needed to put a base on top of my thin layer of builder so it was sticky
How about UNT base coat?
UNT is an air dry base coat not a gel cured one, so it’s wear is much more temporary than gel ones
Jen I’ve watched this video at least 10 times. I’m curious to know if you ever design your tips on stands , THEN use nail glue on top of peel base to adhere? Does it work?
Can you show us the actual removal video
I have one here:

Don’t donate at the register. Super shady practice. Donate direct.
Ok but how to take them off 😢
lmao I definitely say no to donating a dollar 😂😂😂
