Soak off my Gelish nail




I've been wear Gelish gel nail for 3 weeks, it's in pretty good condition, no lifting and only chipped a tiny bit. (but I did work a lot and lots of chores) I am very impressed

我的指甲用Gelish凝膠已經三個星期了,都保持很好的狀態,沒有脫落,也只有一丁點脫漆(?我不知道中文要怎麼說 :P)(但是我做工作和很多家事) 我很驚艷!

<1 day/ 第一天>

<7 days/ 第七天>

<14 days/ 第14天>

<21 days/ 第21天>
<only two tips chipped a tiny bit/ 只有指尖掉了一點點>

Since I was gonna take them off, I thought why not show you how I soak them off! You can also do this at home if you don't wanna get it done by professional, it's very easy!

既然我要把它卸掉,我想為何不秀你我怎麼做的!你也可以在家裡自己做如果你不想去請美甲師卸,很容易的!


You need: 100% Pure Acetone / Cotton ball or pad / Aluminum foil (cut into small pieces) / Files / Cuticle oil / Cuticle pusher or orangewood stick.

你需要:純丙酮 / 棉花或化妝棉 / 鋁薄紙(裁成適合大小)/ 磨刀 / 指緣油 / 推棒


I like to file the surface a little, don't file too much, otherwise, you don't need to soak them off, right? I feel like they get soaked easier if they've been filed. This is optional, it's need to be done if soak acrylic nails, but for gel, you don't need to. Be careful don't file your natural nails! 

我喜歡稍微磨一下表面,不要磨太多,要不然你就不用卸他們了,對吧?我覺得如果稍微磨一點會比較容易被溶解。這是不一定要做的,如果是卸水晶甲就得磨表面,但凝膠甲並不需要。小心不要磨到你的指甲。


Then, this is also optional, I like to put some cuticle oil on the cuticles, cause my skin is very dry and pure acetone tend to make it more dry.

接著也是不一定要做的,我喜歡在指緣抹一點指緣油,因為我皮膚很乾,純丙酮常常讓他們更乾。


Soak cotton balls or cotton pads with pure acetone, put on nails and wrap them with aluminum foil. Then wait 15 minutes. (may be different by products.)

把棉花球或化裝棉沾滿純丙酮,放在指甲上,用鋁箔包起來等15分鐘(因不同品牌而異)。


After 15 minutes, I like to twisted the wraps then took them off. The gels polishes are almost gone! I found that I need to wait more longer because the OPI base gels are still not been soak yet! In the pictures below, the shinny parts were OPI base gels!

15分鐘後,我喜歡稍微轉一下鋁箔然後拿掉它,幾乎所有的凝膠都掉了!我後來發現我應該要等更久一些,因為OPI的基底膠還沒有被溶解,下面的照片亮亮的部份就是OPI的基底膠。



Then gently push all the excess gel off using cuticle pusher or oreangewood stick. It should be very easy to clean up. Finally, I use smoother(very high grit file) buffed out the surface, then massaged with cuticle oil. 

然後用推棒把殘餘的凝膠推掉,應該很容易就可以清理乾淨了。最後,我用拋光棒(很細的磨棒)稍微拋光一下表面,然後用指緣油按摩一下。


You can see the nails still be in very good condition after take off gels. My tips are slightly thin because I buffed a lot before, but I filed them down anyway (I prefer short nails). 
Overall, I found Gelish gel is super easy to be soaked, when I done with all the wrapping with my left hand, and was doing my right thumb, the left thumb already looked like the picture above! I used to soak OPI's like 30 minutes, and still need to push them off a lot, but for Gelish, they were almost all gone when I took off the wraps! Next time I will try to use Gelish base gel and top seal, to see how they work! 

你可以看到在卸甲後的指甲狀態還是很好。我的指尖有些薄是因為我之前拋光很多的關係,但
反正我把他們磨短了(我比較偏好短指甲)。
總之,我發現Gelish凝膠非常好被溶解,當我包完我左手要包我右手大拇指時,左大拇指已經脫落的像上面照片那樣了!我以前卸除OPI凝膠的時候大概得花30分鐘,而且還要推掉很多殘膠。但Gelish卻幾乎都掉了在拿掉鋁薄紙的時候!下次我要試試看用Gelish的基底膠和封膠,看他們如何!
