How to Safely Remove Gel Nail Strips Without Damaging Your Nails

How to Safely Remove Gel Nail Strips Without Damaging Your Nails

Safely removing nails is an important topic that Danni & Toni users often inquire about. One of the concerns of people ordering and using gel nails is whether their nails will be damaged after wearing them. And besides that, they want to know the best practices to keep their nails as comfortable and protected during the removal process as possible!

One of the advantages of Danni & Toni semi-cured nail strips is that they are made with top quality, real gel – making them easier to apply and remove compared with some other cheaper alternatives. This means that you can remove the nails with relative ease, even without using nail removal or other accessories (although they can help the process).

 

How Long Can Gel Nails Last Before Removal?

The longevity of gel nails depends on a few main factors. These include the quality of the nail wraps purchased, the application process done (the nails must be kept under a gel nail lamp for at least 60 seconds for best results), and how well the nails are taken care of after they are applied. Danni & Toni nails are made with the most durable gel, and with proper UV lamp application, can last up to 2 weeks. But let’s be honest – you may want to switch up styles before that time, which is also no problem.

Most people on average keep their gel nails applied for 3-7 days before changing them up for a new variation. But because these gel nails are so versatile and durable, you can choose however short or long of a time which is perfect for you!

 

 

Is It Safe for Fingers to Remove Semi-Cured Gel Nails?

The short answer is – yes! High quality semi-cured nails can be removed with relative ease, safely and without damaging the nail bed. In fact, thousands of Danni & Toni customers apply and remove their nails each month, and we hear little feedback concerning nail discomfort or damage.

That being said, there are some best practices that should be followed during the nail removal process to make the your fingers as comfortable as possible during the process. If you do not follow the steps, then there is more risk of having discomfort when the nails are peeled off… and this is the last thing we want to have happen to your important digits! Therefore, we suggest to do the following steps. For the Cuticle Oil and Nail Polish Removal accessories, they are optional to use – but can help add an extra layer of protection and comfort to the process.

 

Steps For Removing Nails:

1) Soak Your Nails First – Using warm soapy water, you can soften the gel nail strips to remove them easier.

2) Apply Cuticle Oil (Optional – For Best Results): Apply cuticle oil around the edges of your nail. This will help soften the adhesive of the nail. You can get a bottle of cuticle oil here to help with this.

3) Use the Nail Remover (Optional – For Best Results): Use nail remover by placing it around the nail edge to further break the adhesive.

4) Finish Removal: Use the wooden manicure stick included in your Danni & Toni set to finish removing the nail.

5) Wash the Nails Again with Water: You can also use another layer of cuticle oil to help with this.

Commonly Made Mistakes During Nail Removal:

Here are a few mistakes that are made during the nail removal process that can potentially cause issues.

1) Rushing the Process: Make sure that you have a window of time and don’t rush things while removing gel nail strips. Taking your time will make sure that the nails are removed safely.

2) Neglecting Soaking Your Nails: Soaking your nails in warm soapy water is a beneficial preliminary step that can make the removal process easier. This will help prep your nails for the removal process.

3) Skipping Cuticle Oil and Remover: While this is optional to do, it is best to use at least one of the two for best results

4) Ignoring Resistance: Feeling resistance when peeling the nails? This means that you should slow things down a bit, and add an extra water soak – or application of nail removal.

5) Not Caring for the Nails Post-Application: After you are finished, it's important to moisturize and care for your nails post-removal to restore any lost moisture and keep them strong and healthy.
