DIY POLYGEL REMOVAL AT HOME | The Beauty Vault

[@TheBeautyVault]

HALLO!? A few points I missed in the video: 1) For polygel *specifically*, I use this "steamer" as an acetone warmer which is why I fully submerge my nails into it. I found that when the polygel makes direct contact with the warm acetone, it softens faster than steaming alone. 2) I do the T-Rex claw because the inside of the steamer is super cramped and I'm trying to fit all my nails into the little acetone tray, facing down. I also let out a "rawr" each time. 3) I will definitely do follow up videos, one of which will be of me trying this on JUST gel polish, using only the steam of the acetone. 4) Do I think the steamer is revolutionary? No. Through trial and error, I have learned that the key to removing gel, dip and polygel is warm acetone. This method can be easily achieved without a steamer, as I demonstrated in my last polygel removal video. Do I think the steamer is convenient? Yes. Thank you for watching! 🖤

One question! The ceramic safety bits that you used, the link in your description is taking me to a whole other nail drill altogether and not the ceramic bits.

[@TheBeautyVault]

@@Krystal709 Oh weird it looks like the seller might've changed their product page. Let me look into it and I'll update my description box if I can. Thanks for the heads up!

How about a nail care pamper routine?? It might be fun to see how you go the extra mile for your nails every once and a while?

[@TheBeautyVault]

Great idea, thank you!

[@alexandracalifornia]

I just did my poly gel black manicure 3 weeks ago as well and I feel like they still look good! But we need holiday nails now lol

[@morganbrown1596]

I am in the deepest rabbit hole of watching ALL of your gel nail videos!! Loving them so much!!!!

[@haileycohen8180]

Hi hun I get so excited when you post I can never get enough, no matter the content! To be completely honest I can't say I'm a fan of this removal method, it uses a lot of acetone to begin with, the you end up having to discard after use. Also, as a nail tech I'm constantly trying to limit the amount of chemical exposure the nails and skin see. This method exposes a lot of skin to the harsh chemicals and over time can cause irritation and premature aging of skin. The cotton and foil removal method (although tedious) is going to limit the amount of contact between acetone and skin. If you have those plastic nail clips I'd recommend wrapping the nails in foil then placing the clips to lock in heat. Using the clips alone causes the acetone to dry out too quick. Another tip for removal is to take a fine sanding band to the nail bed after scraping the product off to help remove what's leftover before re-soaking. I hope to see more vids & please can you tell Lou bun he needs to post more of his cute lil face on IG🐰

[@mckennapatrick1368]

Maybe a tips and tricks video would be cool! Gems, stickers, glitter in poly gel nails. An extra af nails video

[@jasminealston827]

Make a video doing a French tip poly gel set. I bought the Makartt set also was curious as to how you would a French tip using the white polygel with the pink

[@barbrafrench2674]

I second this, but a french fade.

[@branjay314]

Seeing the before removal and the final product is always so satisfying!

[@Yagmur.82]

The poly gel nails are sooo beautiful but this seems like such a hassle to get them off😭

[@jazmingaston1733]

Makes me want to send my order back and I haven't received it yet. 😒

[@beagrebe2417]

theyre supposed to be filed off completely, not soaked thats why it looks so hard😭

[@karapelletier2866]

If you ever do dip nails again, love to see the removal of them using this steamer :-)

[@Aramandyu]

Girl love your videos. The steamed acetone method works SO well for dip powder. It’s kind of like magic As much as I love your poly gel videos, please please do another video on a dip tutorial!

[@vanessanicholson9260]

Something holiday related on the nails is always super cute. I also love your decorating and haul videos- why do we enjoy watching other people buy things? Who knows. You brighten the days of many- hope it’s fun for you too!

[@TheBeautyVault]

Aw thank you so much! 😭❤️ It makes me happy too.

[@maryh5417]

I'd like to see more gel manicures and some polygel videos with nail forms rather than dual forms :)

[@amylwallace66]

This is the 3rd video on Polygel and in general that I've watched of yours and I am hooked! You explain things so well and I love it! More polygel vids please! Nail art and polygel? Yes, please!

[@michelefeltman726]

favorite part: when she says HEELLLOO in the beginning XD

[@marykayd2781]

The bad thing about these steamers is taking all fingers out at once. As soon as you remove nails from the acetone, the product begins to reset. That’s why every time you did it, the first nail came out the best after scraping, and each finger after that became more difficult. The best method is wrapping each finger tip in cotton soaked wipe/ball, wrap in foil and remove one foil cap at a time. Also do one hand at a time.

[@haileyv666]

there’s these nails i’ve been seeing that you can do with polygel & i would love to see it for when my kit comes in the mail! from what i’ve seen, you use a thin layer of clear polygel, then place iridescent glitters or shapes, & then add whatever color you’d like underneath. in a way encapsulating the glitters or what have you! i’ve seen many variations of it with acrylic & polygel but i’d like to see this with ALL polygel since i kind of already know about the acrylic. just an idea tho! :)

[@TheBeautyVault]

I’ve had something like this on my polygel to do list for awhile, just haven't gotten around to filming it but it would be so fun! 🤩

[@peytonturner9949]

Hey! I love your videos so much :) I've started doing my own gel manicures, and i get so many compliments on them! My friends/coworkers ask me if I got them professionally done, and it's so fun to tell them I did them myself! I watch your gel videos to remember exactly how to prep. Ur awesome!!!

[@keys_open_doors]

That coconut oil addition seems like such a great tip. I’m def gonna try that. TFS!

[@dearbrittny]

Love how you show us, instead of just tell us how it works!!!! That’s what makes your vids so great. Keep up the good content 😁😁

i hate how acetone dries out the skin, literally gives me shivers. Totally already commented this on another video of yours but i wanna see your take on a dip powder ombre using a gel base coat like Kiara Sky's "easy black ombre with dip powder" video!! 🙏😎🤙

[@saraalexia3777]

Omg yay I love tour videos I’ve been wanting to do my own polygel for the longest time and I’m so excited to treat myself to the full “kit” if u may so I can start enjoy doing my nails at home!! ❤️

[@videokidz007]

I ended up getting one from Walmart the other day. I had gel polish on my nails but underneath the gel polish I had a some polygel over cracked nails and the steamer removed the gel polish. I felt it did a good job and it felt comfortable enough. It removed the gel polish on the 10 minute mark and turned the polygel underneath to goo. So, I gently scraped the gooey polygel and then put my hand back in the steamer for another 10 minutes (five more didn't remove it). Again, I gently used a pusher to remove the polygel and barely buffed my nails. A little while later 3 of mine felt really really sore. When I looked at them closely it seemed like they had little marks (looked like rug burns on my nail bed) where some of the polygel came off. They are still sore! I am not sure if I used it too long or it was the polygel or maybe the scraping off of the gooey polygel. Idk, but they hurts like all heck!! Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[@ctran1955]

Love your videos!! I saw Milabu try this and I really want to see more people try it before I commit to getting one. Honestly I get so lazy with removing my gel I leave it until it lifts enough for me to pop them off (which also makes me realize I need to work on my application 😤). So far the steamer doesn’t impress me.... side note I kept wanting to say this: I looooove the background music you chose for your videos.... it’s so catchy and relaxing. It kind of gives me the 1975 vibes.

[@kng13731]

Does soaking in acetone ever make the sides of your natural nails curl painfully?

Ooooh, this thing looks like it would come in handy! If my polygel kit I ordered would *ever* finally show up, that is. I can't believe you wore those nails for 3 weeks! Other than the growth, they still looked really good. As far as what nail video I'd like to see next, maybe some holiday nails? But more of a non-traditional type (not standard red and green). I really don't care though, I'm happy to watch *any* nail video you post. Or just some bunny cam lol Oh, btw - I got a Michael's ad right before your video 😂. 50% off xmas decor! Lol 😘😘

Polygel vs dip powder, which is better for beginners. Maybe include common mistakes people make and how to fix them?? I’m a new subscriber, I love the nails videos 💅🏻

[@Jessiemarieee]

Orly has an Easy Off base coat that is meant to make gel removal easy to scrape off. For me, it literally flakes off before I use the cuticle stick. Maybe it will work with poly gel.

[@baharehshafiei5584]

I live for your videos !!!!!!!!!!!! Keep posting please !!!!!

[@Arilyboo]

I've been interested in getting one of these steamers myself the only thing that I feel is a drawback for me personally is if it took you three 10 minute sessions for one hand it's going to take at minimum an hour just to remove product from both hands. It already takes me 3+ hours to do my nails (because I'm learning and probably not very good).

[@TheBeautyVault]

Yeah, polygel is a real pain to remove, it takes me this long to remove it with or without the steamer. Next time, I’m going to file down most of the polygel before using it and time it to compare.

[@Arilyboo]

Hallo 😂😂 look forward to all your videos, I’m intimidated to try polygel but I can’t do dip powder anymore myself. I’ve gotten the “dip flu” one time to many even using a heavy duty mask. Thanks for all your informative and also entertaining videos, they are fantastic 💕

Thank you!! 🥰 And me either, do you know if it's common? Makes me feel better that I'm not alone. I haven't done dip since I had pneumonia.

Milabu on KZbin had good results with a steamer and using CND offly remover so that was my other consideration.

[@Vote4Pedro211]

Question~ when the acetones warms up, is the vapor bad? Seems like it would just pump all that vapor into the room.

I actually can't smell it much when it's in the steamer. I think the lid and and finger hole gasket do a good job of containing it.
