Nails & Beauty Solutions Ltd Removal

SOAKING OFF A SET OF NAILS

This method is the most common form of removal for Acrylics(Liquid & Powder) and Fibreglass/Silk Nails. Most UV Gels are resillient to solvents, however there has been the introduction of soak off gels within the industry over the past 5 years or so (soak off gels generally require the combination of soaking + buffing, but this depends upon the particular gel).

The use of Tip Remover can be dehydrating to the skin, however with the correct care and product understanding this problem can be overcome by adding a little cuticle oil or almond oil to the surrounding skin prior to submerging the nails. You can even treat your client afterwards by applying and massaging hand cream after removal to make them feel special.

Step One - Prepare The Nails

Cleanse hands and then your clients, remove any existing nail polish and take down the length of your nails with "One Cut Tip Cutters". If your client has managed to grow her own nails beneath the extensions and wishes to keep her length then there is no need to remove the length.

Step Two - Submerge The Nails in Tip Remover

Carefully pour the Tip Remover into one of the following: a glass bowl, Soak Off Pots or Finger Spas. make sure there is enough solution to cover the full length of the nails.

Cover the nails with a terry towel to reduce the vapours escaping. It takes about 15 to 25 minutes to soak off a set of nails. After 15 minutes check the status of the nails, then re submerge them for a further 10 minutes if needed.

Take the nails out one at a time. They will look jelly like and enlarged. Using a paper towel wipe away the product from the nail. Some technicians like to use an orange stick to ease the product from the nail, the choice is yours.

Once the product has been removed the nails may appear chalky looking and there may be still small remains of stuborn product. If this is the case gently buff over the nail with a "Purple sand Turtle".

Step Three - Perform a Mini Manicure

Push back the cuticles and remove any dead skin cells. Using a 2 way or 3 way shiner, bring the nails to a high shine, then apply nail oil to the nails and then a hand cream to the hands. If the client wants nail polish wipe of the excess nail oil with a wipe and apply a base coat, polish then finally a top coat.

Step Four - Disposal of Tip Remover

NEVER, EVER pour "Tip Remover" down the drain. "Tip Remover is a volatile chemical and should be disposed of carefully.

If you are using a bowl or "Soak Off Pots", try to mop up the excess liquid with a paper towel. Place the paper towel in an outside bin.

Never pour down your toilet or drain.
