Removal: Peel Off VS One Step Gel RemoverUpdated a year ago
One Step Gel is the innovation of gel nail polish, and with One Step Gel comes One Step Gel Remover- these products combined make the application and removal process much easier, quicker and safer. Another innovative quick and easy removal process that we have developed is the Peel Off Base Coat.
We are going to compare the two One Step Gel removal methods: the One-Step Gel Remover and the Peel-Off Base Coat, examining their effectiveness, ease of use, and overall convenience.
One Step Gel Remover:
Our One Step Gel Remover is a game changer in the world of gel nail removal. It's designed to effortlessly remove all of our gel nail products including our One Step Gel colours, One Step Gel Extensions, and French Tip Gel Extensions. The process is simple and straightforward, making it suitable for at home use.
How it works:
Buffing: Begin by buffing the surface of the gel nails with your Hard Buffer. This step helps break the seal of the gel polish and allows the remover to penetrate more effectively.
Apply: Apply a generous amount of the One Step Gel Remover onto the buffed nails. Ensure complete coverage, focusing on the edges without touching the cuticles.
Wait: Allow the remover to sit on the nails for up to 5 minutes.
Gentle Removal: Use your pro cuticle pusher to gently scrape off the softened gel polish. The gel should lift off easily without excessive force or damage to the natural nail.
Finish: Once all the gel polish has been removed, apply cuticle oil to hydrate and strengthen your nails (unless you are completing a new manicure, then begin the prep and paint process).
Peel-Off Base Coat:
Our Peel Off Base Coat offers a convenient alternative to traditional gel removal methods. It's specially formulated to work in conjunction with our One Step Gel colour, providing easy peel off removal without the need for remover.
How it works:
Prep the Nails: The prep will vary depending on if you have dry or oily nails. Read our Peel Off Base Coat Blog to find your specific how to.
Apply: Apply 1-2 thin even layers of the Peel Off Base Coat (curing between).
Apply One Step Gel: Apply 2-4 thin coats of your OneStep Gel Colour as usual, curing in between.
Peel Off: When the peel off begins to lift (the time will vary depending on your nail type and prep process as mentioned in step 1), simply lift the edges of the manicure your fingertips. The peel off base coat should release from the nails easily, taking the gel colour with it in one piece. DO NOT pull the gel off if you can see it peeling your nail or if it is being stubborn, do not pick the gel off in pieces. If it is not lifting off easily, either follow the removal process of the One Step Gel Remover OR wait patiently, applying cuticle oil under the lifted edges to promote lifting.
Clean Up: If any residue remains on the nails, gently wipe or buff them clean with the Soft Buffer. Finish with cuticle oil for added nourishment.
Comparison:
- Effectiveness: Both the One Step Gel Remover and Peel Off Base Coat are effective at removing gel nail products for MOST individuals. The One Step Gel Remover works well for all types of gel products we offer, and your specific nail bed type is irrelevant in this process, while the Peel Off Base Coat offers a hassle free removal specifically for our One Step Gel Colour and it's effectiveness will depend on your nail bed type and/or the prep followed.
- Ease of Use: The One Step Gel Remover requires a simple application and gentle buffing, followed by scraping off the softened gel. The Peel Off Base Coat eliminates the need for scraping altogether, offering a quick and mess free removal process.
- Convenience: While both methods offer convenience compared to traditional gel removal techniques, the Peel Off Base Coat may be preferred for those looking for a faster and more straightforward removal process without the use of additional products or tools.
In conclusion, whether you prefer the versatility of the One Step Gel Remover or the convenience of the Peel Off Base Coat, both options provide effective solutions for hassle-free gel nail removal. Choose the method that best suits your preferences and enjoy beautiful, healthy nails without the stress of difficult removal processes.
