Damaged nails after GELX? Get a healthy removal by doing this!

[@ericasantiago5221]

Pro tip for the super impatient girlies, like myself, while your nails are soaking, keep them nice and warm. Acetone works better and faster when it's warm so if you're using a bowl, set it in a larger bowl of warm water. I usually wrap mine, similarly to hers and put my hands under my little heating pad. Also, applying cuticle oil BEFORE you start soaking is a game changer 😘

[@KateMoriah]

Thank you! 💖

[@samanthashad2032]

Great tip! Thanks 😊

[@hfm16]

Um first of all, your natural nails are SO freaking beautiful and perfect!! Secondly, your Gel X nails are perfect. You do such an amazing job. And lastly, I LOVE your videos!! Thank you so much. You taught me how to put them on, and now how to take them off. Thank you for showing all the products too. Your videos are way better than everyone else's and I'm so glad I found you. THANK YOU!!

[@jesslizs]

Omg thank you so much 🥹🩷 I appreciate you being here & it makes me happy to hear I’ve helped you 💅🥰

[@lvlysticgirl]

I ripped off my gel x once and Holy moly did my nailbeds burn!! I though it would be like avrylics that i could work off! Lol! I just bought several products from your affiliate links for 2 videos! Thanks for being SO helpful!!

[@meganhoffman200]

That’s why mine always damages. I recently discovered I don’t file off enough. I also get super impatient when it comes to soaking them off. So next time I’ll have to try and file it down wayyyyy more😂

[@eunicethomas1176]

Oh I learned a few things from this video, the heat not reaching the free edge and using alcohol wipes to see what is really left on your nails, thanks for the tips

[@anisha9540]

Girl your content is sooo good 😮‍💨 trying gel x nails for the first time and your vids are a lifesaver!

[@giuliarenziGRR]

Is there a product to put before as protection ? I’ve been doing my nails at home too and I’m only on my third time and my nails are already so flimsy and thin… my nails are naturally prone to breaking even if I go a whole year without any nail polish. I took off my gel x and I’m gonna let my hands be for a few days but I already miss my long nails. It’s just that they hurt so I felt that I needed to give them a break.

[@nxna28]

As a beginner who's been making improvements this is what I've learned, make sure your file/ sanding band is a fine grit, 180 or 240 are the finest. Also, make sure you're using the lowest rpm you can and are putting minimal pressure when filing. As for your natural nails being thin, maybe try to take breaks in between sets. When I've grown my nails out I loved OPI nail strengthener it's a game changer for thin nails!

[@alyssamarescalco1431]

If you’re doing it at home Try a peel off base gel and remover

[@samanthashad2032]

@@alyssamarescalco1431 what peel off base gel do you recommend. And does it cause lifting since it’s a peel off base?

[@LexLexington23]

Damaged , peeling or even just naturally Thin nails need minerals. Most people think it is calcium and this is not enough. Take 40 mg zinc, 30 mg biotin and get a selenium supplement with vit A, C, and E.(I use wassen brand but solar is also good ) Also massage vitamin E, taken from a vitamin E capsule into all cuticles daily and add a couple drops of caster on with it too. Basically use a pin pop the capsule onto a saucers, add couple drops caster oil mix with same pin, then dab with each finger and massage in. But it will be supplements that heals nails. If have a fungal infection then adding a bit of tea tree oil to the massage bit will also help. (It's usually longt term false nail use that can cause fungal infections, it doesn't sound like you do but I mention it for others) Good luck. ❤

[@RoseA.Dewine]

If anyone knows?... I'm newly back to doing my nails since the 90s. My question is... if i dont want to do Gel X, no light, just press on nails with sticky tabs for one night and happy for them to pop off whenever they do after that, are full tips that say Gel X okay to use like that? I cant seem to find a box of tips that doesn't say that on Amazon. My skin gets VERY angry for like 2 weeks when i use acrtone. I have no light & dont want one. Also no e-file for me. New subscriber here. Great video!!

[@nvrlndJay]

I want to take mine off but i don’t have an e file, can i use a regular nail file or what else can i use? 😭

[@joana.vieira00]

Thanks a lot!!!! But a question... can i apply a new set of nails right after i remove the set??

[@jesslizs]

Yes you can!

[@shrutikaacharya8797]

Can u the same gelx to put new color on if the growth is not so much and fake nail is stick to nail properly

[@Bxby.Cristina1]

Hii! Can you make a video on how to full cover the nail with a base color to make it none see through?

[@rebekahpham1453]

How do I know which direction to spin my e file?

[@oogawa13kokomi]

Not me watching this AFTER i fucked up my nails trying to soak off and remove

[@alexusw5403]

Did you have extensions on??

[@bimiki]

For the efile, wouldnt it be better to use it at a higher speed rather than a lower one? i’ve seen that using it at lower speeds can make you use more pressure, which is an issue i was having, but i’m unsure

[@jesslizs]

Totally I have heard this too! In my experience my e file at 10 rpm works perfect for me when removing the surface gel on extensions bc when I have it too high I feel like I don’t have as much control over it. Try it at different speeds and see what works best for you🤍

[@Mari-pd9zs]

how long does this process usually take?

[@nessa776]

Pls do a video like this about removing acrylics

[@jesslizs]

I believe it’s the same process!

[@fionagalvezz]

I had my first gel x nails in April and removed 2 weeks later but i damaged some of my nails. I removed the false nails and part of the nail bed. Now it’s really red and sensitive, What do I do now to help it heal? How long will it take to recover?

[@isabelperez4573]

One of the thing that I hear is the if you use the the prime bonder on your whole nail is going to be harder to soak off I personally did not try yet bc I’m also afraid of cuticle lifting but if you prepare well the area will be less prone to lifting? I just want good application and moderate amount of time soak them off 😂😂anyway I will like to try and see is is true of a myth BTW your videos are very good and very well explained thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤

[@never-live-style8827]

what do you do if you want to keep the fake nails/ press ons for another time to wear?

[@never-live-style8827]

@@theconsciousmatter yeah I know, but you can use gel to 'glue' the press ons on. So is there a way to remove them after that, without destroying the press on?

[@alyssamarescalco1431]

Peel off base gel and remover! I use one kill base and remover

[@RonnaNeidlinger]

I've seen a lot of nail video's where they apply a rubber base coat to the natural nail beforehand to help with removal, can you do this with gel nails also?1🤔

[@ave_rie]

I’ve tried rubber base under gel x and regular gel.😊 depending on how flexible the rubber base and your nails, you might sacrifice longevity.

[@leahhong1716]

Hi idk about rubber but I do know the nail company jello jello has a peel off nail base that comes off with an oil that comes with it. It allows minimal to no damage and an easy removal process. You can search it up I see many KZbinrs use it.

[@mirandaryan6491]

So I did the right steps, I was just impatient. 👌 😂 That definitely tracks! 😂

[@grapeslikethefruit]

Thank you!

[@Billy-op5be]

Do you have any recommendations on how to do a fill on gelx instead of removing them completely?

[@TheRealDreaZombie]

You can fill them with polygel, acrylic, or whatever you prefer. Do it as you would an acrylic fill. Remove after 6 weeks (however many fills for you, normally 2-3 for most people) and do a new set.

Is the gel x a plastic extension or is it something like gel polish??? Do they have to be branded as soal off?

[@ashleenichole1837]

Plastic extension

[@NoNewWorldOrder88]

Oh no! I thought these nails could be reused. What a pity. It turns out that every time you have to spend so much time on this whole process, first make up, and then even more difficult - remove ... 😟

[@estherkimii9586]

U can use a gel peel of base coat so you can take them off with no damage and then u can reuse or keep the nails

[@wabbimail]

@@estherkimii9586 Can you elaborate please? I would love more info on this. Also do you have any product recommendations?
