BBQin' My Polish Off

Well my grey Shellac has started to move further and further away from my cuticle and my Maven box came in so its time to take this off.

Rule #1 for taking off anything sealed on polishes be it Shellac, Acrylics or Gel nails: get a pro to take it off for you ...DO NOT FILE OFF! You will ruin your nails.

I haven't tried the foil removal yet and seeing with my gastric bypass I won't be BBQing any foil wrapped potatoes, corn, kebabs or anything awesome for that matter; I can use my tinfoil to take this polish off!

All you need is: nail polish remover with acetone or just pure acetone, cotton balls, scissors, tinfoil and a orange stick.

So soak each cotton ball in some polish remover, wrap the tinfoil around your nail with the cotton ball on each finger, shiny side in.

Wait 10 minutes and gently rub the foil around before taking off. You will notice that the polish has started to almost chip away at itself. Take the orange stick/ metal cuticle tool(I call mine the hockey stick) and push/scrape the Shellac off. 

Then buff and shine your nails! Add some nice cuticle oils or put some nail strengthener on afterwards to help keep your nails healthy!
