How to remove nail extensions with gel?
The most popular material used in nail extensions is the gel. The technology of removing it at home is completely different, it can not be softened just like acrylic. So how do you remove the gel nails?
They will have to be cut long and hard. An ordinary glass nail file is not suitable for this purpose. Files, they will need two( with different degrees of abrasiveness), it will be necessary to buy in a specialized store, where different tools and devices for manicure are sold.
An experienced master spends at least 10 minutes processing each finger, let alone the person doing this for the first time. So, you have to be patient. 
You can use a special grinder, but you will not be able to win much time. In addition, the nails during the cutting process will become very hot from the device, so short breaks are necessary to cool them.
- With a more abrasive blade, begin to cut the gel with quick, sharp movements. Be careful not to cut your own nails together with the gel coat. In the process of work, brush off the dust formed from the cutting.
- From time to time, follow the nail plates with a cotton disc soaked in acetone, so you should feel the moment when the gel is completely removed and the natural nail is exposed. Tap it with a nail file - the gel is much harder and stiffer than the nail plate.
- After you have cut almost the entire gel, take another nail file, with a lesser degree of abrasiveness, and keep cutting, but very carefully, as you process your own nails. Trying to remove the entire gel is not worth it for two reasons. First, a small amount of the remaining material will not be evident. Secondly, the gel will protect the weakened and thin nails from damage.
- Finally, the final step, which includes polishing. Treat the nail plates so that their surface is shiny and smooth.
- After that, wash your hands thoroughly and apply cream, as the dust from the gel dries the skin very much.
As you can see, the procedure is not particularly complicated, but it takes much more time than removing acrylic.
