Tips (so called false nails by professionals) are widely included in the daily life of many women. With their help, you can create a beautiful manicure for a long time, and it can be done easily and independently. But sooner or later, false nails must be removed, and this procedure itself has several serious nuances:

• Be sure to familiarize yourself with the recommendations of the adhesive manufacturer on how to remove it from the plate;
• it is worth preparing all the necessary materials in advance, and it is better to choose several methods for removing manicure on glue at home;
• To remove tips from the nail plate you need to take your time.

Just following all these recommendations, you can not only quickly and efficiently remove manicure on glue, but also do it safely and accurately.

All methods of removing tips from nails can be divided into two large groups:

• safe, that is, those that do not harm natural nails and do not deform them;
• traumatic - These are the use of which can cause pain or deformation of the nail.

If you choose the second option for removing tips, then this does not mean that you can do harm to yourself. Just in such cases, you should be especially careful and act slowly.

The most popular gentle options for removing tips from nails include the following methods.

• Steaming in hot water. All that is needed is a small bowl of hot water and an orange stick. First, the fingertips are lowered into the water so that the entire nail plate and cuticle are immersed in the fluid. After 5-7 minutes with the help of a stick, it is necessary to carefully push the surface of the tips to the side from the side of the cuticle, lifting it up. If this does not work out, then pour a little boiling water into the container and hold the nails for another 5 minutes in water. If after that it was not possible to remove the manicure on the glue, then you need to use another method.
• Use of professional compositions for removing extended nails from acrylic or gel. Such products have a gentle composition, which includes beneficial substances for the nail and the skin around it. First you need to slightly trim the tips, then use a cotton pad to apply a solution to remove manicure on their entire surface, and wrap each nail on top with ordinary foil. After 30-40 minutes, the foil and disc are removed from the nail plate, and the tips are removed with an orange stick, as in the previous case.

If tips do not want to act, then you can resort to more radical methods. But you must follow all the recommendations, do not increase the time of the procedure or the exposure time of the product on the nails.

This option almost always helps to remove tips. Having decided to use it at home, it is worthwhile to provide fresh air access to the room, since the product itself has a very sharp and specific smell.

The procedure will be as follows:

1. ordinary cotton pads should be well moistened in a solution of undiluted acetone;
2. attach them tightly to the tips, and wrap the foil in two layers on top;
3. leave for 20-25 minutes, then remove;
4. using a stick, gently push false nails from the plate, starting from the cuticle and slightly lifting them up;
5. At the end of the procedure, remove glue residue with a disc and acetone.

Acetone has a very negative effect on the skin and the plate itself, so you should also apply olive oil or a fat cream to your fingers just before the procedure begins. This should be done half an hour before the removal of manicure.

This option involves the use of a manicure stick from an orange tree (stylus), acetone and a small pipette.

Step-by-step process:

1. using a stylus, gently push the cuticle away from the tips;
2. raise the edge of the false nail;
3. drop a few drops of acetone into the hole with a pipette;
4. leave nails for 5-7 minutes;
5. raise the tip of the orange stick, and at the same time shift the tips up.

It is best to purchase a professional product with a powerful composition.

The procedure for removing tips is as follows:

1. pour liquid into a small bowl to remove the varnish;
2. lower the fingers of one hand into the container so that the false nails are completely covered with liquid;
3. keep fingertips in solution for about 10 minutes;
4. using a wooden stick, push the tips from the root of the nail plate upward;
5. each finger must be processed in turn, first on one hand, and then on the other.

If this option of removing manicure on glue did not help, then you can turn to a win-win technique - file cutting.

This is one of the longest in time, and at the same time the most traumatic option for removing false nails. It involves the use of special files with a large and medium cross section, similar to those used to file out the extended nails.

The meaning of the procedure is that on each finger the top surface of the tips is first cut off with a nail file with a large cross section, and then with a small one. The procedure is quite lengthy and dangerous, as there is a high risk of cuticle damage.

Remains of glue from the nail plate are removed either with a cotton pad and acetone, or simply sawn off.

In order to wear tips, and especially the procedure for removing them, do not bring more disappointment than the joy of a beautiful manicure, You must follow some tips from professional manicure specialists.

• Regardless of the method of removing such a manicure, fingertips should be steamed in water before the procedure. The exception is sawing tips.
• After removing false nails, do not immediately stick new ones. It is best to repeat the procedure no earlier than a couple of days. The nail plate should also rest and recover.
• It is not recommended to replace an orange tree stick with a metal tool - because of this, the risk of injury increases significantly.
• After completely removing the tips from the nails, it is imperative to apply nutrients to them and the skin around them.
