How to Remove Gel Nail Strips Safely
Care
Learn how to safely remove Velvora gel nail strips using the oil/soak method. Gentle removal protects your natural nails and keeps them healthy for your next set.
Oil/soak removal method (recommended)
+ Step-by-step
- Apply cuticle or coconut oil generously around cuticle and sidewalls.
- Let sit for 60–90 seconds to soften adhesive.
- Slide a wooden cuticle stick gently under one side; lift slowly, adding more oil as needed.
- Work gradually toward the center — never force. Reapply oil if resistance is felt.
- Once removed, wipe away residue with oil or cleanser.
Never peel off dry: peeling can remove nail layers and cause thinning.
Using acetone (optional)
+ When to use
If adhesive is stubborn, you may use acetone wraps:
- Saturate cotton with acetone remover.
- Place on nail, wrap with foil or clip, wait 5–10 minutes.
- Lift gently with cuticle stick; reapply oil after.
Acetone works quickly but can dry nails and skin. Always follow with cuticle oil.
