Nail work can expose you to the risk of viral, bacterial, or fungal contamination. You must follow strict hygiene rules and take precautions. Work on hands with skin lesions (fungal, infection, etc.) should be avoided. Contamination can occur due to instrument cuts or minor bleeding during treatment, sanding, or filing. When working, use disposable manicure and pedicure sets whenever possible and wear gloves.
In addition to, you also need to:
- Wash your hands thoroughly with mild soap.
- Disinfect or sterilize instruments.
- Clean work surfaces.
How to remove gel tips?
These extensions are removed like traditional semi-permanent nail polish, but the large amount of gel makes the process much more difficult. Investing in an electric nail file is highly recommended, as the files need to be long. You should start with a file that does the job, but has a high enough RPM to allow for better grip. To remove the tips, the extension must first be trimmed with nail clippers or a tip cutter. Then, file the nail surface with a coarse file to remove the topcoat and improve the melting speed. Simply dip your fingertips in acetone to dissolve the gel… it can take a while! Rub it with a wooden stick or push the cuticle back into the melted gel little by little.
