I hope you have all had a great start to 2016!

Today I'm doing a step by step Gelish removal. I qualified as a nail technician with Gelish Harmony in 2013 and have been using Gelish ever since. It is a great product to work with and the application lasts 2 to 3 weeks which is just amazing. 

Lets get started... 

REMOVAL:

What you will need:

*10 Foil nail wraps or normal kitchen foil 

*10 Lint Free Wipes

*Gelish Soak Off 

*Gelish Grit Buffer 100/180 

*Wood Stick 

*A good magazine to look through while soaking your nails 

Step 1: 

Using your Gelish Grit Buffer gently buff each nail. 

Step 2: 

Grab your lint free wipe and pour a little bit of the Gelish Soak Off Remover to the middle of the lint free wipe. Then place your lint free wipe onto your buffered nail. 

Step 3: 

Then you can wrap your Foil Wrap over the lint free wipe to keep the lint free wipe in place. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 on each nail until all nails have a lint free wipe on and a foil wrap. 

Step 4: 

Depending on the thickness of the previous application the soak off time can take anywhere from 10-15 minutes. I normally leave mine 15 minutes just to make sure. Have a cuppa tea and read a magazine. I'm reading the Scratch magazine which is fab for nail art tips and tricks and keeping up to date with whats trending in the nail industry. 

Step 5:

After 10-15 minutes unwrap the first nail you wrapped, you should see a crackled effect all over the surface of the previous Gelish. This indicates that it has been released from the nail bed.

Step 6:

Grab your wood stick and gently scrape the nail

Step 7: 

Repeat Steps 5 and 6 on each nail, one at a time. 

Step 8:

Your Gelish should now be removed and you can lightly buff each nail, wash your hands with soap and water and apply your favourite hand cream. 

I hope this helped and if you've got any questions please leave a comment. 

Thanks for reading. xx
