Common conclusions

If you do not have it you should buy it because you need it very much. Any nail technician can do the full range of nail services with just four basic nail files: a coarse file for shaping acrylic and taking the length or surface down quickly, a medium file for smoothing artificial nails and shaping artificial and natural nails, a fine file. Before you break out the nail polish remover, you should grab the coarse nail file then gently and slowly sand down the top layer of your polish. You need to know that the point here is not to sand all the polish off. You are really just roughing up the topcoat, so take it slow.

You should protect your skin. The cuticle oil is a moisturizing product for your nails and cuticles too. It can help to protect your nail and cuticle against trauma. The cuticle oil will also provide protection from the acetone, which is very drying to your skin.

Acetone is very important if you want to remove the gel nail polish because it is the key to removing gel polish. You should soak your fingerprints in acetone so you can do this in a small bowl filled with acetone and a drop or two of cuticle oil or you can also use a soaked cotton ball on each nail. Cotton balls are better instead of pads because they are closer to your nails' size and shape. You need to saturate the cotton balls with acetone more than you think you need.

Aluminum foil is exactly what you need. You should grab some foil and tear it into squares about three inches by three inches. Then you need to wrap your fingertips in the squares. Start with your non-dominant hand it makes things easier.
