Removing extended nails

It is better to remove extended nails in a salon, because only a master will be able to carry out the entire procedure carefully without damaging your own nail plates. In our article you will find a detailed description of the process of removing nails extended using various modeling materials.

Removing extended nails is a procedure that sooner or later any owner of an artificial manicure will have to perform. In this case, it is better sooner than later, because under a layer of thick acrylic or gel, your own nail plate is deprived of the ability to breathe, so it becomes thinner and weaker.

Something about removing nail extensions

Since we are talking about removing artificial nails, we will try to clearly define the timing when it is best to do this, because some girls like artificial nails so much that they wore them and would wear them forever. But any dense layer on the nail plate does not allow it to breathe normally and impedes the access of light. All this leads to a deterioration in the condition of your nails.

Since acrylic is considered the densest, it is recommended to wear this manicure for no more than three weeks. During this time, your nails will not suffer so much from lack of air and their protective forces will not be weakened, which will allow your own nail plates to quickly recover after removing the artificial manicure.

Gel extension material is more porous and elastic, so it does not hinder the access of fresh air to your nail plates as much and therefore does not have such a negative effect on them. Gel manicure extensions can be worn a little longer than acrylic ones. Usually, in 4-5 weeks your nails will not have time to become thinner and weaker from lack of air.

As for biogel, it is very similar to gel, but due to its natural base it is more gentle on your nails. It is precisely because of its natural origin that biogel is used to strengthen one’s own nail plates. This manicure can be worn longer than regular gel.

But no matter what material for extended nails is used in your manicure, the question arises of how to remove extended nails. It is much better and safer to carry out this procedure in a salon. The master will carefully remove the extended nails, trying to protect your own nail plates from damage as much as possible. In addition, the salon can perform a set of procedures to restore your own nails.

Removing gel nail extensions

It is difficult to give an exact answer to the question of how much it costs to remove gel nails. It all depends on the technology used for extensions, the level of the salon and the length of the nail. To remove such a manicure, the only way you can use is filing. If filing is done manually, each nail will take 10-15 minutes, but when using hardware filing, the procedure will be faster.

To remove a gel manicure, the master will need:

• forceps;
• files of various abrasiveness;
• dust removal brush;
• composition for removing the varnish layer;
• polishing file.

The procedure is performed in the following sequence:

1. Before starting filing, the extended part of the nail plate is removed using tweezers or scissors.
2. Then the master will need a hard file to file artificial nails. During the filing process, from time to time you need to brush off the dust from the surface of the nail and treat it with nail polish remover. This will allow you to better see how much of the artificial layer remains on the nail. This is the only way to carefully file the gel off the nail without damaging your own nail plate.
3. After removing the main layer, work continues with a softer nail file. The pressure on the nail needs to be reduced. The last layer of gel will begin to peel off; it can be removed by prying it off with a wooden manicure stick.

Removal using a machine with milling attachments is done in the same way. Just be careful when operating the device. You should not use it at high speeds, so as not to cause overheating of the nail plate. Movements should be tangential and intermittent. The last layer of gel is removed not with a device, but with files manually, so as not to damage the natural nail.

Removing acrylic nail extensions

The price for removing acrylic nail extensions will be lower than for removing gel manicures. This is due to the fact that the procedure is faster and easier. To do this, the master will need:

• a set of manicure files;
• nail scissors or tweezers;
• foil;
• cotton wool;
• liquid for dissolving acrylic (remover). You can use regular nail polish remover instead.

The removal procedure takes place in several stages:

1. The free acrylic edge of the extended nail, in the same way as in the method above, is trimmed with scissors or removed using tweezers. The varnish coating is removed with nail polish remover. If a finishing gel coating was used on top of the acrylic layer, then it must be cut off with a hard nail file.
2. After this, cotton wool soaked in a composition to dissolve the acrylic is applied to each nail.
3. To improve the effect of the composition used, each nail with cotton wool is wrapped in foil. This will improve the effectiveness of the fluid.
4. After 25 minutes you can start removing the acrylic. Work with each finger in turn. First, remove the foil and remove the softened acrylic with a stick. The remaining composition is removed from the nail during the polishing process. As a result, you will get a beautiful, smooth nail without acrylic residue.

How to remove a biogel manicure?

To get rid of such manicure, a special liquid is used to dissolve the biogel. The extended tip is cut off with scissors or removed using nippers, and then the removal procedure is carried out similarly to the removal of acrylic nails.
