I wear hard gel so I can only file off. Getting used to the e-file has definitely been a journey though. I went through a period where I overfiled my nails a little bit and that made the gel not want to adhere as well, so I had lifting. The lifting caused more damage so the new product didn't want to adhere very well which caused lifting even more. It was a vicious cycle. It was a miracle at that time to get a set of nails to last 2 weeks without at least one or two being half lifted off or missing entirely. But through practice and watching as many videos as I could find on using an e-file, I'm doing soooooooo much better now. I'm getting ready to take off a set today that I've been wearing for about 4½ weeks. There's no lifting and they're all in good shape still! I'm so proud of myself lol. So thank you for all the awesome education you're giving us. It really does help! ❤❤

THIS is why I enjoy doing my own natural nails with regular polish! But I still love to watch your videos so I'm knowledgeable on other manicure methods.😻

I am still not comfortable using electric nail file yet. You do make it look so easy. Could you do a video going over the drill bits and what is best for acrylic.  😊

My nails don’t like Acetone, I got onycholysis after a gentle soak off.  Now I never remove totally, just enough for infill and re-balance. This is a great video showing both options. Thanks as always love 🥰

As no method provides longlasting nails (acryl, dip nails, gel, polygel) I do press ons with gel glue. What is the best way to remove those? I'm torturing my nails by peeling and lifting them the harsh way. But that's not good at all and my natural nails are pretty thin now.

I did this like 15 yrs ago I can’t remember what i used to pry them off but my nails were so brittle for YEARS & I only did it one time. Can’t imagine people who do it all the time how their nails must be.

I use carbide or ceramic bit to take of the lenghth and thickness of my polygel.  Once it is nearing my natural nail, then I switch to the mini-band in medium coarse, which gives me greater control in removing the final, thin layer of product.

Ty for the video! Can you link or tell me what light bulbs (exactly) you have in those two white table lamps? Pllllz! ❤❤

I like using the Jello Jello peel off base and popping my nails off. I'm not confident enough with an e-file

Depending on what's on the nails dictates how I remove product, as I use all methods. ❤

Great video. I use the soak off method.❤❤❤

Obrigado sou iniciante e você ensina muito bem

I can't wear acrylics because I'm allergic to the liquid monomer.  But I have no issues with dip nails. So for that removal I use the combo method I file off any glossiness to the nail then soak off the rest. I don't touch the free edge though as most of the time its an overlay on my natural nails and I want my length.

A tech filed all of my gel extensions off  completely with only a coarse carbide bit once. 😭I had to regrow my nail bed out completely because they were so thin. They were soooo sensitive too, I hated it. I hate that I didn’t speak up when I realized she wasn’t switching to finer grit after reaching the natural nail.

I know this is an old video But I’d been having my nails done for many many years and decided to have them removed by my nail tech, she drilled the acrylic off, so down that my natural nails are completely ruined and still are after months of having them removed, I’ve had them removed professionally before and my natural nails were fine, no damage to them at all, now I’m embarrassed 😞 with the condition of my nails as I’ve had to get something from our drugstore to help repair them so I don’t get any infection, my little finger nail on my right hand is almost gone and they’re so sore at times, depending what I’m doing and using my hands, I don’t whether you’ll see this comment, but in your professional opinion and experience, is there anything I can do to help get my natural nails back to looking nice, I’ve always taken such pride in my hands and now they are ruined, ugly and sore. Greetings from Australia ❤❤

I prefer the salon removal method.

I won't use clippers on nail extensions but I completely agree with your favorite method of removal 💯.

Filing down to a thin layer is better for nails while they grow out👌

Wether cream nor oils will prevent Aceton from going into your skin.
Yes! It will eat through everything, even nitril gloves in less than 10s.

I was watching your first videos on here and you were so cute in those.

Hi! Love the video. Does the soak off method work every time for acrylic or also depends on the type of bonder or prep that was used? Thank you
