So exactly how do you get shellac off your nails when the new nail growth is an issue or you just want a change of colour?

1. Start by filing the Top Coat to allow the Acetone Wrap to penetrate the shellac nails gel.
2. Now take your Acetone Wraps. One at a time, tear open and place your finger into the packet. Wrap the foil snugly around your nail.  Make sure the pad is firmly against the entire nail. If it isn’t touching the nail, it isn’t working. Hold it in place by wrapping the adhesive tape included with the Acetone Wrap. Leave them in place for ten minutes from when you finished the first one. The Acetone Wrap does more than hold the cotton pad in place for your shellac removal. Acetone evaporates, and the Wrap slows this down so the acetone is in place long enough to work.
3. Remove the Acetone Wraps and rub each nail a bit with its cotton pad. Using the cuticle stick, very gently push off the shellac nail polish. It should come off easily. Be patient, and do not scrape or scrub at your nails.
4. Clean the Nail plate with your lint-free pad.
5. The acetone will dry your nails out a bit. Apply your favourite cuticle oil generously, and rub it into your nail and cuticles. Keeping your nails healthy is important, so don’t neglect this step! In fact, as long as you are removing shellac nail polish, why not take advantage of the chance and give your hands an intensive moisture treatment as well? You don’t have to skip the pampering just because you aren’t at the salon.

When you are doing your shellac manicure removal, it’s important to pay attention to the details, especially the timing. Even with the Acetone Wraps, the acetone will evaporate a bit. It will be gone in roughly ten minutes, and if you leave your fingers wrapped longer than that, the shellac will start to adhere to your nails again. The acetone does not dissolve the shellac; it actually just loosens the polish so you can push it off easily. If any does not come off easily, take a fresh cotton pad soaked in acetone to rub it off.

THE FOUR DON’TS OF SHELLAC REMOVAL!

• While you can get your shellac manicure removed at the salon, you don’t have to.
• The acetone should loosen the shellac so it can be gently pushed off of the nail; you don’t need to scrape or file or otherwise mistreat your nails to remove it.
• Don’t neglect the nail conditioner. The shellac polish itself protects your nails while it is on, but the acetone can dry them a bit.
• Don’t be too sad to take that gorgeous polish off. It just means you get to pick another stunning colour for your nails.
