How to properly remove hybrid gel polish from nails?
Would you like to remove hybrid polish quickly, thoroughly and safely? Find out which method is recommended by the only Polish manufacturer of nail bits, IQNails. Many clients still believe that hybrid and gel manicures ruin the nail plate and shouldn't be done. Fortunately, we've known for many years that this isn't true. The cause of weakened nails isn't the hybrid or gel manicure itself, but its incorrect removal.
Education is the foundation
To avoid removing old styling incorrectly, the most important thing is educating young technicians who don't yet have a steady hand or (horror of horrors) use acetone. If you're just starting your journey with nail styling or simply want to sharpen your skills, we invite you to explore our full range of training courses, where you'll find courses run by experienced instructors. Whatever your level, we guarantee that every participant will find something for themselves!
How to correctly remove old styling?
- Remove the product with vertical, downward movements — in simple terms, from the client towards the technician. When you reach the second nail fold, get rid of the remaining colour that extends beyond the fold.
- Then turn the nail and remove the residue closest to the cuticles.
- To smooth the surface and prepare it for new styling, make left-to-right movements. This will definitely speed up your work. Remember to avoid pressing the bit too hard against the nail; the movements should be firm and confident.
