Yes, this is a first world problem. But this does not mean that you do not need to fix it. 

If you are in confinement and cannot go to the salon after using SNS or gel nails for a few weeks, we guess that your fingers will start to itch badly from removing it. 

But whatever you do, don't let the temptation prevail and start picking it up. This is the best way to remove SNS or gel nails at home...

Cotton wool and a small bowl

Wrap your nails with silver foil or cap clips

Now that you have your toolkit ready, here is what to do:

Run the nail file on top of the gel or SNS. This Geecol electric nail file is priced at $39.99 and has files of different roughness, so you can choose the one that suits you best. File gently, but enough to remove the shiny top layer.

2. Apply cuticle oil to the skin around the nails and fingertips, such as this Essie Nail Care Apricot Cuticle Oil, $16.95, to protect the skin.

3. Make sure you open this part of the window. Soak cotton balls with acetone in a small bowl. OPI nail polish remover with aloe vera is a good choice for $10.95. Lint balls are better than lint pads because they can be better fixed to your nails and hold the acetone easier.

4. Put a saturated cotton ball on each finger, then place the cap clip around them or wrap them in foil. If you use foil, please cut it into a 7 cm x 7 cm square beforehand, and then wrap one around each finger. This may become a bit cumbersome in the end, so if you can find someone to help you, go for it! Put the foil or cap clip on it for 10-15 minutes. When you open your fingers and the nail polish looks as if it has peeled off your nails, you will know that it is ready. If it does not look like this, soak for another 5 minutes. 

5. Remove the foil or cap clip from each nail, and gently press the nail with a cotton ball. Most of it should fall off. For the remaining stuck position, gently use the cuticle stick, work under the gel or SNS, and lift it from the nail. Remember, don't share cuticle sticks with friends-they will collect bacteria. If you are using wood, please throw it away, or clean the metal before using it again. For example, this Laza Cuticle Pusher is priced at $14.99.

6. When all the nail polish has come off, lightly polish the nails to make them smooth. OPI Brilliance Block File, $8.95, easy to store and use. Then apply a final coat of cuticle oil to nourish the nails and surrounding fingertips. 

7. Finally, apply a rich hand cream on your hands. We recommend L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream, which is very suitable for dry skin. Now sit down and admire your craft!
