Expert Tip

Aftercare Tips

Safe Removal
- 1.1. Gently file off the top layer of the glossy top coat to break the seal, avoiding the natural nail.
- 2.2. Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads wrapped in foil for 10-15 minutes, allowing the gel to soften.
- 3.3. Carefully push off the softened product with an orange wood stick, then lightly buff any remaining residue, never forcing it off.
