How to remove our UV gel strips: Complete tutorial

Removing Glaam Nails UV gel strips is just as important as applying them to keep your nails healthy. This tutorial will guide you through the steps needed to remove your gel nail stickers safely and effectively.

Materials Needed

Before you begin removal, make sure you have the following items on hand:

  • Cuticle oil or nourishing oil
  • Wooden stick or cuticle pusher
  • Cotton balls or cleaning wipes

Step 1: Preparation

  1. Wash your hands: Start by washing your hands with warm water and soap. Dry them thoroughly.
  2. Disinfect your nails: Use a disinfectant to remove any dirt or oil around your nails.

Step 2: Softening the strips

  1. Apply oil: Soak a cotton ball or makeup remover pad in cuticle oil. Apply generously to the surface of the UV gel strips to soften them and make them easier to remove. Leave on for about 5 minutes.
  2. Reheat if necessary: If the strips are particularly difficult to remove, you can reheat the oil using a gentle heat source, such as a hair dryer on a low setting.

Step 3: Removing the strips

  1. Gently lift the strips: Use a wooden stick or cuticle pusher to gently lift the edges of the UV gel strips. Work gently to avoid damaging the nail surface.
  2. Remove the strips: Once you have lifted the edges, gently pull the strip to remove it in one piece. Do not force it if you encounter resistance; reapply oil and wait a little longer.
  3. Remove residue: If any gel residue remains on the nail, use a cotton pad soaked in isopropyl alcohol to clean it off. Rub gently until the nail is completely clean.

    Step 4: Cleaning and Care

    1. Wash your hands again: After removing the strips and cleaning off any residue, wash your hands with warm water and soap to remove any traces of oil or alcohol.
    2. Moisturize your cuticles: Apply cuticle oil or moisturizing cream to nourish and soften the skin around your nails.
    3. Inspect your nails: Check the condition of your nails after removal. If you notice any signs of damage or discoloration, give them some time to recover before applying a new coat of gel or polish.

    Additional tips

    • Be patient: Don't rush the removal process to avoid damaging your natural nails. Take the time to soften the strips thoroughly.
    • Do not use acetone: Avoid using acetone, as it can damage the surface of your nails and dry out the skin around them.
    • Take care of your nails: Give your nails a break between applications so they can regenerate.
